Peptide and Peptidomimetic Therapeutics: From Bench to Bedside

Peptide and Peptidomimetic Therapeutics: From Bench to Beside offers  applied, evidence-based instruction on developing and applying peptide  therapeutics in disease treatment, driving drug discovery, and improving  patient care. Here, researchers, clinicians and students will find  tools to harness the full power of peptides and peptidomimetics and  improve bioavailability, stability, efficiency and selectivity of new  therapeutics and their application in treatment plans. More than 20  leaders in the field share their approaches for identifying and  advancing peptide and peptidomimetic therapeutics. Topics examined run  from "bench to bedside," beginning with fundamental peptide science,  protein-protein interactions and peptide synthesis.

Later  chapters examine modes for peptide drug delivery, including cell  penetration peptide and peptidomimetic delivery, as well as the  targeting of specific disease types, peptide therapeutics as applied to  infectious disease, cancer, metabolic disorders, neurodegenerative  disorders, and skin disorders, and antiparasitic and immunosuppressive  peptidomimetics.
