Elsevier Imidazole-Based Drug Discovery (Heterocyclic Drug Discovery)

Imidazole-Based Drug Discovery covers all categories of imidazole and its derivatives, synthesis, pharmacological applications and drug-based studies. Imidazole scaffolds act as a channel between organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry and compel researchers to explore new drug candidates. This book provides detailed coverage of several greener synthetic protocols and pharmacological applications of imidazole derivatives that are useful to researchers working on designing more promising clinical lead compounds with this scaffold. It also includes information on past decades of research on the synthesis and biological applications of imidazole derivatives. This is an ideal resource for researchers in organic chemistry both in academic and industrial settings, as well as postgraduates in chemistry and medicinal chemistry. Reviews the most current developments and future perspectives of imidazole on different disease therapies to achieve the ultimate goal of disease eradication Discusses the role of imidazole in contemporary science, technological innovation, drug development, critical challenges and future research directions Covers emerging trends on different eco-benign pathways to synthesize imidazole derivatives for the development of simpler synthetic protocols
