Biological Inhibitors (Studies in Medicinal Chemistry)

The advances of medicinal chemistry in the last few decades have been triggered by a greater understanding of cellular processes at the molecular level. The understanding of biochemical processes and diseases at molecular level has revolutionized the field. This volume summarizes recent developments in the area of biological inhibitors such as squalene epoxidase inhibitors, dual inhibitors of 5-lipoxygenase and cyclogenase, inhibition of cholesterol biosynthesis, HIV proteinase inhibitors, nonpeptide antagonists at peptide receptors and binding interaction of thyroid hormones.
