Anti-Prostate Cancer Agents walks the readers through the anti-prostate cancer drug development pipeline from early discovery/design to clinical studies/applications. This book covers discovery/design, synthetic studies, preclinical evaluation, mechanism of action, structure-activity relationships, clinical studies/applications of anti-prostate cancer agents. This book provides insight on how the design and discovery process of anti-prostate cancer agents have evolved from androgen deprivation therapy to current androgen receptor antagonists/degraders. So far, no book focusing on the topic has been published.
