Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a widespread metabolic disorder characterized by impaired regulation of blood glucose levels. Jamun (Syzygium cumini L.) fruits and seeds have been traditionally used in Ayurveda to manage diabetes. While fruit and ...
Non-ribosomal peptides (NRPs) are promising lead compounds for novel antibiotics. Bioinformatic mining of silent microbial NRPS gene clusters provide crucial insights for the discovery and de novo design of bioactive peptides. Here, we describe the e...
The purpose of this review is two-fold: (1) to summarize artificial intelligence and machine learning approaches and document the role of ligand-protein structures in directing drug discovery; (2) to present examples of drugs from the recent literatu...
Utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) in drug design represents an advanced approach for identifying targets and developing new drugs. Integrating AI techniques significantly reduces the workload involved in drug development and enhances the efficie...
The privileged structure binds to multiple receptors with high affinity, which is helpful to the development of new bioactive compounds. Indole is classified as a privileged structure, which may be one of the most important structural categories in d...
Morin is a vasorelaxant flavonoid, whose activity is ascribable to Ca1.2 channel blockade that, however, is weak as compared to that of clinically used therapeutic agents. A conventional strategy to circumvent this drawback is to synthesize new deriv...
Simple molecular descriptors of extensive series of 1,3,5-triazinyl sulfonamide derivatives, based on the structure of sulfonamides and their physicochemical properties, were designed and calculated. These descriptors were successfully applied as inp...
Subtype-selective drugs are of great therapeutic importance as they are expected to be more effective and with less side-effects. However, discovery of subtype selective inhibitors was hampered by the high similarity of the binding sites within subfa...
Two novel compounds were isolated for the first time from Calycotome spinosa (L.) Link, an alkaloid 5-Hydroxy-1H-indole (4) and a cyclitol D-pinitol (5), together with the three well-known flavonoids; Chrysin-7-O-(β-D-glucopyranoside) (1), Chrysin-7-...
Searching for new leads in the battle of cancer will never ends, we herein disclose the design and synthesis of new phthalazine derivatives and their in vitro and in vivo testing for their antiproliferative activity. Phthalazine was selected as a pri...
