Diabetes Mellitus: Target Enzymes and Drugs highlights the importance of different targets in lead drug discovery and the importance of the synthesis of lead analogues. The book discusses the role of target enzymes, receptors, and related drugs in diabetes mellitus that are necessary for research on improving solutions for diabetes care. This unique resource provides information about all enzymes or receptors involved in diabetes pathophysiology to help describe target enzymes and potent antidiabetic drugs to improve patient care.
This type of research is needed for the understanding of the effects of drugs in order to improve future treatments and care of patients with diabetes.
