Therapeutic Peptides: Advances and Applications
English | 2026 | ISBN: 1032943165 | 236 pages | True PDF,EPUB | 40.28 MB
This book comprehensively reviews the structure, optimization strategies, and functions of natural and synthetic peptides. The contents of this book present foundational aspects of therapeutic peptides, examining the potential of bioactive peptides derived from natural sources and providing insights into the structure–function relationship of therapeutic peptides.Therapeutic Peptides: Advances and Applicationsalso covers the de novo design, synthesis, modification, and mechanistic evaluation of therapeutic peptides, along with the generation and screening of peptide libraries for cell-binding peptides. The second section focuses on the practical applications of therapeutic peptides in combating cancer cells and treating neurological disorders using natural and synthetic neuropeptides. The book also covers the potential of peptides in addressing metabolic disorders and their roles in cardiovascular diseases through natriuretic peptides. The final section addresses the regulatory and safety aspects critical to the pharmaceutical development of therapeutic peptides. It covers quality specifications, regulatory considerations, and future prospects for therapeutic peptides. The discussion also covers the toxicity of biologically active peptides and safety aspects. This book is an invaluable source for researchers and students of pharmaceutical sciences, biotechnology, and biomedical sciences.FeaturesReviews the structure, optimization strategies, and functions of both natural and synthetic peptidesExplores de novo design, synthesis, modification, and mechanistic evaluation of therapeutic peptidesDiscusses the generation and screening of peptide libraries for cell-binding peptidesCovers conventional and advanced peptide-based targeted delivery systemsExamines the practical applications of therapeutic peptides in various diseasesPresents regulatory considerations, quality specifications, and toxicity of therapeutic peptides
