Therapeutics of Natural and Synthetic Compounds in Protease Induced Cancer presents a detailed discussion on the role of therapeutic and synthetic compounds in proteases and how they have been utilized to develop anticancer drugs, covering both their structure and functions. In addition, the book explores the experimental and theoretical aspects of natural and synthetic compound design based on proteases. Sections bridge the gap between fundamental and translational research, with applications in the biomedical and pharmaceutical industry, making it a thought-provoking read for basic and applied scientists engaged in biomedical research.
In 23 chapters, this book gives both insights on the general aspects of the role of natural and synthetic compounds in cancer therapeutics, in cancer development, treatment, and their use in clinical trails. Given the breadth and depth of information covered in the respective contributions, the book will be immensely useful for researchers in oncology and for those working to identify targets for drug development.
