RNA as a Drug Target: The Next Frontier for Medicinal Chemistry book pdf download, offers a practice-oriented introduction to developing drug-like small molecules that selectively modulate both coding and non-coding RNAs. Beginning with a description and characterization of existing druggable RNAs, the book discusses how to approach different RNA targets for drug discovery. The result is a crucial resource for targeting RNAs and creating the next generation of life-saving pharmaceuticals.
Existing paradigms for drug discovery have focused largely on enzymes and other proteins as drug targets. In recent years, however, different varieties of ribonucleic acids have emerged as a viable focus for target-based drug discovery, with the potential to revolutionize the strategy and approach for this essential step in the drug development process.
