Therapeutics of Natural and Synthetic Compounds in Protease Induced Cancer

Therapeutics of Natural and Synthetic Compounds in Protease Induced Cancer presents a detailed discussion on the role of therapeutic and synthetic compounds in proteases and how they have been utilised to develop anticancer drugs. P This book covers the structure and functions of natural and synthetic compounds in proteases and how these compounds can be exploited to find useful therapeutics to fight cancers. In addition, the book encompasses the experimental and theoretical aspects of natural and synthetic compound design based on proteases. In 23 chapters this book both gives insight in the general aspects of the role of natural and synthetic compounds in cancer therapeutics, in cancer development, treatment and their use in clinical trails. Given the breadth and depth of information covered in the respective contributions, the book will be immensely useful for researchers in oncology and working to identify targets for drug development. Multidisciplinary in scope, the book bridges the gap between fundamental and translational research, with applications in the biomedical and pharmaceutical industry, making it a thought-provoking read for basic and applied scientists engaged in biomedical research.

• Discusses natural and synthetics compounds as promising targets for future research since it plays a pivotal role in cancer progression and response to chemotherapy treatment
• Gives insight in the multifaceted role of natural and synthetic compounds in regulating many important cell processes including cell proliferation, apoptosis and autophagy
• Discusses the key roles of compounds in cancer progression focusing on the status of natural, chemically modified, and synthetic inhibitors in various types of malignancies
