Chemotherapeutic Targets in Parasites analyzes the critical metabolic reactions and structural features essential for parasite survival, and advocates the latest molecular strategies with which to identify effective antiparasitic agents. An introduction to the early development of parasite chemotherapy is followed by an overview of biophysical techniques and genomic and proteomic analysis. Several chapters are devoted to specific types of chemotherapeutic agents and their targets in malaria, trypanosomes, leishmania and amitochondrial protists. Chapters on helminths include metabolic, neuromuscular, microtubular and tegumental targets. Emphasized throughout is the design of more selective and less toxic drugs than in the past. This book will be especially relevant to medical and clinical researchers and to graduate students in parasitology, pharmacology, medicine, microbiology, and biochemistry.Antiparasitic agentsParasitic diseasesChemotherapyAntiparasitic agents.Parasitic diseasesChemotherapy.616.9/6061Mansour Tag E.1542322Mansour Joan MacKinnonUkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910783131603321Chemotherapeutic targets in parasites3794943UNINA
