Samenvatting

Providing insight into where the next generations of drugs are likely to emerge, this book describes the pharmacology of therapeutically undefined targets and potential applications. In some cases, there are no defined drugs to modulate some of the targets, and in other cases inhibition or activation will render different therapeutic uses. Chapters cover specific biochemical targets like kinases, phosphatases, phosphodiesterases, and potassium channels. Because different diseases can require their own targeting strategies, the book has chapters on the strategies for targeting Alzheimer′s, diabetes, pain, and inflammation.
