Description

Drug Discovery Approaches for the Treatment of Neurodegenerative Disorders: Alzheimer�s Disease examines the drug discovery process for neurodegenerative diseases by focusing specifically on Alzheimer�s Disease and illustrating the paradigm necessary to ensure future research and treatment success.

The book explores diagnosis, epidemiology, drug discovery strategies, current therapeutics, and much more to provide a holistic approach to the discovery, development, and treatment of Alzheimer�s Disease. Through its coverage of the latest research in targeted drug design, preclinical studies, and mouse and rat models, the book is a must-have resource for all pharmaceutical scientists, pharmacologists, neuroscientists, and clinical researchers working in this area. It illustrates why these drugs tend to fail at the clinical stage, and examines Alzheimer�s Disease within the overall context of improving the drug discovery process for the treatment of other neurodegenerative disorders.

• Provides a compilation of chemical considerations required in drug discovery for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders
• Examines different classes of compounds currently being used in discovery and development stages
• Explores in vitro and in vivo models with respect to their ability to translate these models to human conditions
• Distills the most significant information across multiple areas of Alzheimer�s disease research to provide a single, comprehensive, and balanced resource
