Drug Repositioning Approaches and Applications for Neurotherapeutics

Repositioning existing drugs for new therapeutic uses is raising interest and expectation as a new efficient strategy to drug discovery. The use of launched or failed drugs that have already gone through several steps of the classical R&D up to National Agencies approvals, can reduce R&D timelines by several years, reduce development costs, improve probability of success and increase industry productivity. This book covers the main general topics on drug repositioning and focusing specifically on the state-of the-art in the field of neurotherapeutics.
