The first authoritative overview of past and current strategies for
successful drug development by molecular modification of known leads.
This unique resource spans the important drug classes in most major
therapeutic fields.
Analogue-based drug discovery is discussed among others,
for beta blockers, ACE inhibitors, steroids, opiates, stigmines, proton
pump inhibitors, platinum anti-cancer compounds and anti-infective quinolones.
Statistically, every second drug is an analogue, and their
market value amounts to two thirds of all drugs. Analogues are the most
successful way of inventing a new drug and they provide the required
improvements in drug therapy.
Case studies, by the respective inventors on selected
commercially successful drug analogues provide prime advice for new
drug development projects based on analogue modification.
The book includes a table of the most successful drug
analogues as based on the IMS ranking and compares them in terms of
chemical structure, mode of action, launch year and patent priority.
