Enzymes and Drugs
ISTE Ltd and John Wiley & Sons Inc (Verlag)
978-1-78630-939-6 (ISBN)
Aimed at pharmacists, biologists, biochemists, doctors, veterinarians, medicinal chemists and students from a wide range of disciplines, Enzymes and Drugs brings together, for the first time, extensive documentation highlighting the relationships between a large number of drugs and enzymes. The book also highlights new prospects for therapeutic discoveries offered by enzyme targeting.
Numerous applications have been developed thanks to strategies for studying enzyme inhibition or activation, as well as the development of allosteric effectors, presented with their advantages and disadvantages. Various rare diseases, known as "orphan" diseases, have resulted from enzyme deficiency or absence. For their treatment, the introduction of substitute enzymes has led to major therapeutic advances.
Serge Kirkiacharian holds a doctorate in physical sciences. He is a pharmacist, professor emeritus of therapeutic chemistry, hospital practitioner and honorary head of department at Paris Hospitals. His work at the CNRS, France, and in academia focuses on the development of bioactive molecules and natural products. He has also won multiple awards for his work. Julien Dumond holds a doctorate in virology and enzymology. As a team leader in pharmaceutical companies and a professor of biology and bioengineering, his research focuses on the development of enzymatic assays of pharmaceutical interest, as well as premarketing studies for drugs.
