Natural Product-based Synthetic Drug Molecules in Alzheimer's Disease (eBook, PDF)

Therapeutic & Theranostic Agents

Redaktion: Sharma, Abha; Modi, Gyan Prakash

Beschreibung

This book illustrates the importance of natural products as the source for the development of novel drugs for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease. It also highlights the role of reactive oxygen species and altered metal homeostasis in the progression of Alzheimer's disease and examines the potential of antioxidants and anti-chelating agents in the clinical intervention of neurodegenerative diseases. The book also discusses the role of neuroinflammation in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. The chapters provide information about the drug targets, progress in the development of natural product-based therapeutics, biomarkers, fluorescent diagnostic tools, and theranostic for Alzheimer's disease. The book also provides information about the design and synthesis of natural product-based derivatives against the various targets of Alzheimer's disease including epigenetic targets and the metal dyshomeostasis hypothesis. Cutting across different disciplines, this book is a valuable source for neuroscientists, chemical biologists, pharmaceutical researchers, and synthetic biologists.

Autor

Dr. Abha Sharma is working as an associate professor in the department of medicinal chemistry at National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research, Raebareli, India. She earned her Ph.D. from the Defence Research and Development Establishment (awarded by Jiwaji University), Gwalior, India, 2006. She has worked at Indian Institute of Toxicology Research (IITR), Lucknow as a research associate for more than three and a half years. Her research area includes design and synthesis of molecules for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and the development of sensors/probes for the detection of analytes/biomarkers of central nervous system diseases like AD. She published more than 40 papers in high-impact journals, several book chapters, and filed patents. She has served as a referee for a number of international journals and several students have completed their research projects under her guidance. Dr. Gyan Prakash Modi is working as an assistantprofessor in the department of pharmaceutical engineering and technology, Indian Institute of Technology (BHU), Varanasi, India. He earned a Ph.D. from the department of pharmaceutical sciences, Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan, USA, in 2013, followed by postdoctoral training at Brandeis University, Waltham, Massachusetts, USA. His research area includes drug development for neurodegenerative diseases, inhibitor design, and the development of novel (near-infrared) NIR probes targeting various chronic central nervous system diseases like Alzheimer's disease (AD). He published nearly 25 research papers in high-impact journals and filed several patents, including four US patents in medicinal chemistry. He has been selected as a young investigator to attend YIM 2019 organized by India Bioscience at IIT Guwahati, he is also the recipient of several awards including outstanding scientist in medicinal chemistry, Venus international foundation. ¿
