GPCRs: From Deorphanization to Lead Structure Identification

Part of the book series: Ernst Schering Foundation Symposium Proceedings ((SCHERING FOUND,volume 2006/2))

Abstract

The design of compound libraries targeting GPCRs is of primary interest in pharmaceutical research because of their important role as signaling receptors and the herewith linked dominant place in the discovery portfolios. In the present symposium chapter, we outline GPCR compound library design strategies recently followed by our group and discuss them in a more general context.
