Beskrivning

Drug Discovery Approaches for the Treatment of Neurodegenerative Disorders: Alzheimer’s Disease, Second Edition delves into the complexities of drug discovery, specifically for Alzheimer's Disease, presenting the necessary paradigm for future success in research and treatment. This edition is thoroughly updated with recent developments in therapeutic strategies, including amyloid hypothesis, tau, apo E, insulin, and others, and introduces a new chapter on drug delivery to the brain. Additionally, the book encompasses diagnosis, epidemiology, drug discovery strategies, current therapeutics, and more, offering a comprehensive approach to Alzheimer's Disease.

It covers the latest in targeted drug design, preclinical studies, and animal models, making it an essential resource for pharmaceutical scientists, pharmacologists, neuroscientists, and clinical researchers. Patients and advocacy groups can also gain valuable insights from the overview of current treatments and scientific advancements in the field.

Covers Monoclonal Antibodies approaches
Provides a compilation of chemical considerations required in drug discovery for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders
Explores how in vitro and in vivo models translate to human physiology

Mer om författaren

Adeboye Adejare’s research group is interested in the areas of design and syntheses of small organic molecules to probe neurodegeneration, especially Alzheimer’s disease, and for treatment of cancer. They are also interested in in vitro models of drug absorption and ability to cross blood brain barrier; drug targeting; pharmaceutical profiling; and chemistry of fluoroaromatic compounds. The research is funded by the National Institutes of Health, the Office of Naval Research, and several pharmaceutical companies. These efforts have resulted in over 50 publications, 5 patents, and over 100 presentations at meetings, including invited presentations at national and international conferences. He also serves on several national panels, including those by NIH, NSF, and Alzheimer’s Association.Dr. Adejare is the editor of Drug Discovery Approaches for the Treatment of Neurodegenerative Disorders: Alzheimer’s Disease which is also published by Elsevier.
