Product Description
In the last decade, the search for anti-inflammatory drugs has involved new approaches that have revealed novel cellular pathways in which intervention is possible for lymphocyte regulation. These approaches have been the result of research of the 1970's through and up to the present time. Each chapter in this book gives a clear background on how some of the current anti-inflammatory drugs were discovered and some of the problems/highlights that took place in the development process. The purpose of this book is to bring forward in both a narrative and technical format the true nature of the discovery/development process of anti-inflammatory drugs. Ultimate success/failure in the clinic is not the principle focus or issue here, but rather an understanding of the ways concepts are started and all of the thinking, nuances, prejudices, and scientific-political processes that come into play in drug discovery. This book, together with the complementary volume composed by the same editors entitled "The Search for Antiviral Drugs", will be a valuable asset for a medical or university library, as well as for researchers and clinicians. The book will make an enticing reading for non-specialists interested in the history behind modern pharmacology and can be used as a textbook in graduate courses. |
