Analogue-based Drug Discovery

Edited By

Janos Fischer and C. Robin Ganellin

This book focuses on both structural and pharmacological analogues – that is, those analogues which have similar chemical and biological properties – although some examples are also included where the analogue is derived purely on a similar chemical or a similar biological basis (but not both). Within the book, it is shown how analogues play an important role in medicinal chemistry and, more importantly, how they optimize drug therapies. Hence, it was for this reason that we sought to select diverse fields of drug research and medicinal chemistry.
