Drug repurposing, or drug repositioning, or reprofiling, has emerged as a valid approach in modern drug discovery. The book describes tools and techniques for identifying new therapeutic potentials for existing drugs and covers the repurposing of drugs from synthetic and natural origin. It compares the costs of drug repurposing with traditional drug discovery and discusses challenges and future perspectives of drug repurposing.

This book describes the processes that are involved in the development of new drugs. In a single, highly readable volume, it outlines the basics of pharmacological screening, drug target identification, and genetics involved in early drug discovery.
