Computer-assisted lead finding and optimization: Current tools for medicinal chemistry / Han Van de Waterbeemd
Titre : Computer-assisted lead finding and optimization: Current tools for medicinal chemistry Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Han Van de Waterbeemd, Éditeur scientifique ; Bernard Testa, Éditeur scientifique ; Gerd Folkers, Éditeur scientifique Editeur : Zurich : Helvetica Chimica Acta Année de publication : 1997 Autre Editeur : Weinheim : Wiley-VCH Importance : 553 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-3-906390-16-1 Langues : Anglais (eng) Tags : COMPUTER-ASSISTED LEAD FINDING MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY Index. décimale : EQ -Equipe- Résumé : "Computer-assisted techniques are well-integrated in modern drug discovery and used for the finding of new leads, the optimization of receptor or enzyme affinity, as well as of pharmacokinetic and physicochemical properties.
In this book an account is found of current strategies used in computer-assisted drug design. Important topics include progress in chemometrics, molecular modeling and three-dimensional QSAR approaches. Relatively new mathematical methods such as genetic algorithms or artificial neural networks and fuzzy logic have found their application in rational molecular design. As is amply illustrated, based on recent developments in these disciplines, important progress has been made in lead finding strategies. This is of great importance to the pharmaceutical industry.
Thus, all scientists investigating quantitative structure-activity relationships in their broadest sense, in medicinal, agricultural, or environmental chemistry will benefit from this book."Cote : LCC/K Num_Inv : 2418 Computer-assisted lead finding and optimization: Current tools for medicinal chemistry [texte imprimé] / Han Van de Waterbeemd, Éditeur scientifique ; Bernard Testa, Éditeur scientifique ; Gerd Folkers, Éditeur scientifique . - Zurich : Helvetica Chimica Acta : Weinheim : Wiley-VCH, 1997 . - 553 p.

DisponibleThe biochemistry of drug metabolism, Volume 1. Principles, redox reactions, hydrolyses / Bernard Testa
Titre de série : The biochemistry of drug metabolism, Volume 1 Titre : Principles, redox reactions, hydrolyses Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Bernard Testa ; Stefanie D. Kramer Editeur : Weinheim : Wiley-VCH Année de publication : 2008 Importance : xiii, 319 p. Présentation : ill. Format : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-3-906390-53-6 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Biochimie Tags : DRUGS METABOLISM Index. décimale : B-F Résumé : "The first of the two volumes is divided into three parts. Part One begins by introducing xenobiotics in the broad context of physiological metabolism, and continues with an overview of the processes of drug disposition and metabolism. It then goes on to summarize the macroscopic and microscopic locations of drug metabolism in animals and humans. This is followed by an introduction to the all-important issue of the consequences of drug and xenobiotic metabolism, providing an initial overview of pharmacokinetic, pharmacological and toxicological consequences. The last chapter examines drug metabolism in the context of drug research, with a focus on medicinal chemistry.
The second part is a major component of the book, corresponding to the role of oxidoreductases as major agents of metabolism. Cytochromes P450 receive particular attention, namely their multiplicity, structure, catalytic mechanisms, and the various reactions they catalyze, while other oxidoreductases are also presented, such as flavin monooxygenases, monoamine oxidases and other amine oxidases, aldehyde oxidase and xanthine dehydrogenase, peroxidases, and dehydrogenases-reductases. Each drug-metabolizing enzyme or enzyme family begins with an Enzyme Identity Card summarizing its nomenclature and biochemical essentials.
Part Three begins with a survey of the classification, properties and catalytic mechanism of the innumerable hydrolases known or suspected to play a role in xenobiotic metabolism. The focus then shifts to a systematic presentation of the various substrate classes, namely carboxylic esters, amides and peptides, lactams and lactones, esters of inorganic acids, alkene and arene epoxides, and some miscellaneous hydrolyzable moieties."Cote : B-F034-1 (SdS) Num_Inv : 3060 The biochemistry of drug metabolism, Volume 1.

Titre de série : The biochemistry of drug metabolism, Volume 2 Titre : Conjugations, consequences of metabolism, influencing factors Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Bernard Testa ; Stefanie D. Kramer Editeur : Weinheim : Wiley-VCH Année de publication : 2010 Importance : xiii, 588 p. Présentation : ill. Format : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-3-906390-54-3 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Biochimie Tags : DRUGS METABOLISM Index. décimale : B-F Résumé : "Volume Two contains the last four parts of this work. Part 4 is devoted to the huge field of conjugation reactions, with much information being given on transferases. As in the two preceding parts, each drug-metabolizing enzyme or enzyme family begins with an Enzyme Identity Card summarizing its nomenclature and biochemical essentials. The reactions examined here include methylation, sulfation, glucuronidation, acetylation, conjugation with glutathione, while there is also a rigorous presentation of the pivotal role of xenobiotic-coenzyme A conjugates as a crossroads to various metabolic reactions.
The next part examines the consequences of drug and xenobiotic metabolism in a pharmacological and toxicological perspective, with due attention paid to full activation, as is found with prodrugs, and to the worrying case of xenobiotic toxification.
Parts 6 and 7 cover the inter-individual and intra-individual factors that influence drug metabolism, starting with an introduction to evolutionary events leading to species differences in the metabolism of xenobiotics and to polymorphisms within a particular species. Focusing on humans, the most relevant polymorphic drug-metabolizing enzymes are discussed, concentrating on ethnic differences and on the consequences for the pharmacokinetic behavior of affected drugs, while also introducing sex-dependent metabolic reactions.
The final part introduces the mechanisms leading to increases or decreases in enzyme activities as the concept of enzyme induction via nuclear receptors and the different mechanisms of enzyme inhibition are explained. With these basics in mind, various influencing factors are discussed, including physiological and pathological conditions, as well as drugs, nutrients and environmental agents with a special focus on drug-drug interactions."Cote : B-F034-2 (SdS) Num_Inv : 3061 The biochemistry of drug metabolism, Volume 2.
