Nuclear Receptors as Drug Targets (Hardcover)

Nuclear receptors are the site of action for some of the most widely used medications, namely oral contraceptives and related drugs derived from steroid hormones. Recent research has uncovered their pivotal role in a range of human diseases, including diabetes and metabolic syndrome, triggering a new wave of drug discovery efforts focused on this class of molecular targets.
Edited by two experts working at the pioneering pharmaceutical company and major global player in hormone-derived drugs, this handbook systematically treats the drug development aspects of all human nuclear receptors, including such recently characterized receptors as PPAR, FXR and LXR, and modern tools for nuclear receptor research.
With its contributions from authors working at leading pharmaceutical companies around the world providing examples and real-life data from their own experience, this is an invaluable reference for medicinal chemists, biochemists, molecular biologists, pharmacologists and those working in the pharmaceutical industry.
