Overview

This invaluable volume serves as a guide to up-to-the-minute techniques for the discovery and evaluation of pharmacologically active compounds for therapeutic development. Focusing on practical applications, provided by expert practitioners from both industry and academic research laboratories, Advances in Drug Discovery Techniques covers rational drug design, high-throughput screening and genetic approaches to drug discovery. Moreover, chapters also focus on advances in the use of combinatorial chemistry and natural products, both of which support the chemical diversity for many drug screening programmes. Typical screening studies and their link to robotics and informatics are also presented in detail, together with an overview of current progress within antisense therapeutics. Overall, this book will be an excellent reference source for all individuals interested in making sense of the rapid changes in drug discovery that result from developments in molecular biology, robotics and informatics.
