Medicinal Chemistry of Anticancer Drugs, Third Editionprovides an updated resource for students and researchers from the point-of-view of medicinal chemistry and drug design, focusing on the mechanism of action of antitumor drugs from the molecular level, and on the relationship between chemical structure and chemical and biochemical reactivity of antitumor agents. The new edition includes updated sections on the hot topic of cancer immunotherapy, cancer polypharmacology, multitargeted cancer therapy, medicinal chemistry of cancer diagnosis, theragnostic anticancer agents, and pre-mRNA processing in cancer. Although many books are available that deal with clinical aspects of cancer chemotherapy, this book provides a unique and valuable perspective from the point-of-view of medicinal chemistry and drug design. It will be useful to undergraduate and postgraduate students of medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, biological chemistry, pharmacy and other health sciences. Researchers and practitioners will find a comprehensive treatment of the topic and a large number of references, reviews and primary literature. Provides a resource that is organized consistently based on targets and mechanisms of action from a molecular point-of-viewFocuses on the relationship between chemical structure and chemical and biochemical reactivity of antitumor agents, providing a rationalization on the action of these type of drugs and the design of new active structuresFeatures a large number of color figures which give information in a clear-and-concise wayIncludes extensive references to review articles and primary literatureIncludes updated sections on the hot topic of cancer immunotherapy, cancer polypharmacology, multitargeted cancer therapy, medicinal chemistry of cancer diagnosis, theragnostic anticancer agents, and pre-mRNA processing in cancer | Medicinal Chemistry Of Anticancer Drugs by Carmen Avenda, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
