Description
Book SynopsisKinase Inhibitor Drugs covers a wide and comprehensive range of topics about kinase-targeted inhibitors in cancer therapy, one of the hottest drug targets in modern drug discovery.
Trade Review"In conclusion, I strongly recommend this book to anyone who is interested and new to the field of kinase inhibitors. Indeed, I believe this book should not merely sit on the shelves of kinase experts, but should be used frequently for reference." (
ChemMedChem, 2010)
"Delivers what the title promises: a comprehensive treatment of drugs that inhibit kinases. ... Will be interesting to any chemist or biologist desiring a behind-the-scenes look at modern strategies of drug discovery and their practical applications to some challenging targets." (
Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, April 2010)
