A comprehensive resource on case studies of marketed kinase drugs and promising drug trials.

Kinase Inhibitor Drugs presents timely and important case studies of marketed kinase drugs and several of the most advanced kinase inhibitors in clinical trials.

Kinase Inhibitor Drugs includes:

• Case studies from leading investigators and experts in the field that provide firsthand accounts of kinase inhibitor discovery
• Current thinking on kinase structure, biochemistry, and signal transduction pathways
• Information on state-of-the-art technologies and tools such as structure-based and fragment-based drug discovery
• A lineup of clinical-phase growth factor receptor inhibitors
• Inhibitors of cell cycle kinases
• The discovery of allosteric inhibitors of MEK kinase
• Information on pharmacogenomics and its application to kinase inhibitor clinical development
