Kinase Inhibitors: Synthesis, Medicinal Effects, and Applications

Kinase inhibitors are the type of medications that target enzymes called kinases, which play a crucial role in signaling pathways involved in cell growth, proliferation, and survival. These inhibitors are used in the treatment of various cancers and other diseases. This book provides essential information in the design of new drug molecules for the development of kinase inhibitors. It includes the existing drugs and those under clinical trial that are involved in the development process. Key Features Highlights the synthesis, molecular mechanism, biochemical pathways, chemical and biological properties of kinase inhibitors. Focuses on recent advances in these drugs used in the field of cancer and other diseases. Researchers are provided with information on target identification, lead identification, and optimization during the drug development process.
