Chemotherapeutic Targets in Parasites: Contemporary Strategies

Autor Tag E. Mansour Cu Joan MacKinnon Mansour
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 aug 2005
Parasitic infections are the most prevalent of human diseases, and researchers continue to face the challenge of designing drugs to successfully counteract them. Chemotherapeutic Targets in Parasites analyzes the critical metabolic reactions and structural features essential for parasite survival, and advocates the latest molecular strategies with which to identify effective antiparasitic agents. An introduction to the early development of parasite chemotherapy is followed by an overview of biophysical techniques and genomic and proteomic analysis. Several chapters are devoted to specific types of chemotherapeutic agents and their targets in malaria, trypanosomes, leishmania and amitochondrial protists. Chapters on helminths include metabolic, neuromuscular, microtubular and tegumental targets. Emphasized throughout is the design of more selective and less toxic drugs than in the past. This book will be especially relevant to medical and clinical researchers and to graduate students in parasitology, pharmacology, medicine, microbiology, and biochemistry.

Recenzii

'… will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students and will hopefully stimulate renewed interest in this important area of research.' John Barrett, Parasitology
'Students of parasitology, research workers interested in drug development and practitioners in tropical medicine will find this book an invaluable guide to the theory of the chemical treatment of parasitic infections.' Chemistry in Australia
