Description

As opposed to other books on the topic, this volume is unique in also covering emerging transporter targets. Following a general introduction to the importance of targeting transporter proteins with drugs, the book systematically presents individual transporter classes and explains their pharmacology and physiology. The text covers all transporter families with known or suspected importance as drug targets, including neurotransmitter transporters, ABC transporters, glucose transporters and organic ion transporters. The final part discusses recent advances in structural studies of transport proteins, assay methods for transport activity, and the systems biology of transporters and their regulation. With its focus on drug development issues, this authoritative overview is required reading for researchers in industry and academia targeting transport proteins for the treatment of disease.

Author Biography:

Gerhard Ecker is Full Professor for Pharmacoinformatics at the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, University of Vienna (Austria). His main scientific interests are pharmacoinformatic approaches to target drug transporters, in silico screening methods for promiscuous targets and antitargets, and new approaches for data integration and data mining. Rasmus Pr?torius Clausen is Associate Professor at Dept. Drug Design and Pharmacology, University of Copenhagen (former Royal School of Pharmacy) where he also did post-doctoral studies with P. Krogsgaard-Larsen. His main research topics are neuromedicinal chemistry with focus on glutamate, GABA and GHB, and epigenetic medicinal chemistry. He has a M.Sc. degree from University of Southern Denmark (Chemistry/Cell Biology) and a PhD degree from the University of Aarhus (Denmark). Harald Sitte studied Medicine at the Universities of Innsbruck and Vienna (Austria). He was appointed Professor for Psychopharmacology at Vienna Medical University in 2010.
