Neurohormon Analogs as Future Therapeutic Tools for the Treatment of Neurological Disorders

In addition to their pivotal physiologic roles the hypothalamic neurohormones and their analogs offer a huge therapeutic potential for the treatment of diverse pathologies especially the disorders of the endocrine and urogenital systems. The Nobel-prize winner Prof. Dr. A. V. Schally's research group contributed to this field with exceptional achievements such as the description of several hypothalamic neurohormones and the development of a multitude of agonist antagonist and cytotoxic compound analogs. In this book the authors give a glimpse at their new experimental results which promise new possibilities in the therapy of neurological diseases with special emphasis on Alzheimer's disease and central nervous system malignancies.
