Description
This excerpt summarizes recent advances in the field of biological inhibitors. These inhibitors are used to treat diseases or prevent them from happening in the first place. Some of the inhibitors mentioned in this excerpt are squalene epoxidase inhibitors, dual inhibitors of 5-lipoxygenase and cyclogenase, inhibition of cholesterol biosynthesis, HIV proteinase inhibitors, nonpeptide antagonists at peptide receptors, and binding interactions of thyroid hormones.
The advances of medicinal chemistry in the last few decades have been triggered by a greater understanding of cellular processes at the molecular level. The understanding of biochemical processes and diseases at molecular level has revolutionized the field. This volume summarizes recent developments in the area of biological inhibitors such as squalene epoxidase inhibitors, dual inhibitors of 5-lipoxygenase and cyclogenase, inhibition of cholesterol biosynthesis, HIV proteinase inhibitors, nonpeptide antagonists at peptide receptors and binding interaction of thyroid hormones.
