Abstract
D&MD?s Transmembrane Transporters: High Sales, High Potential as Drug Targets market report comprehensively reviews transmembrane transporters (including ion channels) and assesses their importance as drug targets. Data presented in this report demonstrates that among the top 100 best-selling drugs in the United States in 2004, transporters represent the most abundant class of targets. This report will help readers assess or reassess their strategies with respect to this target class. An online survey conducted specially for this report shows that transporters (alongside protein kinases), are regarded as commercially the most promising targets available to the drug industry. Although much has been learned about transporters as drug targets, only recently have scientists been able to directly examine three-dimensional ion channel and other integral membrane transporter structures.
