Principles of Antiviral Drug Development: Rapid Discovery Technologies and Practical Applications

By Ailin Liu PhD

Principles of Antiviral Drug Development: Rapid Discovery Technologies and Practical Applications systematically integrates the major experimental techniques and virtual drug screening methods involved in the discovery of antiviral drugs, and provides a detailed discussion of their applications: among them, the combination of virtual drug screening technologies coupled with experimental methods offers strong potential for the rapid discovery of antiviral agents. The book also discusses activity-guided extraction, isolation, and activity evaluation of active components in order to reveal the material basis of antiviral activity and preliminary mechanisms of action. The book also discusses: drug repurposing of approved medicines; and an analysis of the discovery and mechanistic studies of a series of antiviral natural products which offer important information on the needs of future research, development, together with the clinical application of new antiviral drugs.
