"This book series brings updated reviews to readers interested in advances in the development of anti-infective drug design and discovery. The scope of the book series covers a range of topics including rational drug design and drug discovery, medicinal chemistry, in-silico drug design, combinatorial chemistry, high-throughput screening, drug targets, recent important patents, and structure-activity relationships. Frontiers in Anti-Infective Drug Discovery is a valuable resource for pharmaceutical scientists and post-graduate students seeking updated and critically important information for developing clinical trials and devising research plans in this field. The sixth volume of this series features 6 chapters that cover the following topics: - Alternative anti-infective / anti-inflammatory therapeutic options for fighting Alzheimer’s disease - Microbial peptides that combat microbial biofilms - Malaria and its treatment - Tuberculosis drugs … and much more."
