Addressing a long-standing challenge for medicinal chemists, this practical reference provides the concepts and tools for developing drug-like small molecules that selectively modulate non-coding RNAs. The introductory parts describes the wide range of druggable RNAs, available techniques for their characterization, binding assay development as well privileged structures in small molecule RNA binders. The main part systematically covers different RNA targets and how to approach them from a drug discovery angle, from splice modulation to riboswitches to targeted degradation, translation...
