BACE: Lead Target for Orchestrated Therapy of Alzheimer's Disease
()
About this ebook
BACE (β-site of APP cleaving enzyme) is a critical component in Alzheimer's Disease (AD), and the development of BACE inhibitors shows great potential as a therapy for the disease. BACE: Lead Target for Orchestrated Therapy of Alzheimer's Disease covers virtually all aspects of BACE from initial identification, discovery of inhibitors, and challenges in clinical development, while providing a global understanding essential for productive and successful drug discovery.
This book details the story of the discovery of BACE and its role in AD and comprehensively discusses:
-
The development of BACE inhibitors as therapeutics for Alzheimer's disease
-
The research that led to the identification of BACE
-
New BACE inhibitors currently being clinically tested
-
ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion) and clinical trial design—topics not addressed in current field literature
-
Cutting-edge technology such as high-throughput screening, structure-based drug design, and QSAR in context of BACE inhibitors and Alzheimer's drug discovery
-
Other approaches to BACE inhibition based on interaction with the precursor protein APP
By enhancing the reader's understanding of the various aspects of the BACE drug-discovery process, this much-needed reference will serve as a key resource for all scientists involved in Alzheimer's research—and inspire new approaches to treatment of AD.
