"Drug Repurposing: Molecular Aspects and Therapeutic Applications" ed. by Shailendra K. Saxena

This book focuses on various aspects and applications of drug repurposing, the understanding of which is important for treating diseases. A major focus of this book is understanding the role of drug repurposing to develop drugs for infectious diseases, including antivirals, antibacterial and anticancer drugs, as well as immunotherapeutics.

Due to the high costs and time associated with the new drug discovery process, the inclination toward drug repurposing is increasing for common as well as rare diseases.
