Designing drugs optimized for both blood-brain barrier permeation and intra-cerebral partition.

Expert opinion on drug discovery
INTRODUCTION: With the increasing incidence and prevalence of neurological disorders globally, there is a paramount need for new pharmacotherapies. BBB effectively protects the brain but raises a profound challenge to drug permeation, with less than ...

An Effective Plant Small Secretory Peptide Recognition Model Based on Feature Correction Strategy.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Plant small secretory peptides (SSPs) play an important role in the regulation of biological processes in plants. Accurately predicting SSPs enables efficient exploration of their functions. Traditional experimental verification methods are very reli...

Mass-Spec, Cryo-EM and AI join forces for a close look at the transporter complex in cilia.

The EMBO journal
The intraflagellar transport (IFT) complex transports components between the cytoplasm and the ciliary tip. Two studies now report on the atomic structure of IFT-B, the core of IFT, using cutting-edge technology, such as cross-linking mass spectromet...

Exploring Deep Learning of Quantum Chemical Properties for Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Excretion Predictions.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Quantum mechanical (QM) descriptors of small molecules have wide applicability in understanding organic reactivity and molecular properties, but the substantial compute cost required for QM calculations limits their broad usage. Here, we investigate...

Trivariate Linear Regression and Machine Learning Prediction of Possible Roles of Efflux Transporters in Estimated Intestinal Permeability Values of 301 Disparate Chemicals.

Biological & pharmaceutical bulletin
A system for predicting apparent bidirectional permeability (P) across Caco-2 cells of diverse chemicals has been reported. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between in silico-generated P (from apical to basal side, P) for 301 s...

Biological Membrane-Penetrating Peptides: Computational Prediction and Applications.

Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology
Peptides comprise a versatile class of biomolecules that present a unique chemical space with diverse physicochemical and structural properties. Some classes of peptides are able to naturally cross the biological membranes, such as cell membrane and ...

Prediction of Blood-Brain Barrier Penetration (BBBP) Based on Molecular Descriptors of the Free-Form and In-Blood-Form Datasets.

Molecules (Basel, Switzerland)
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) controls the entry of chemicals from the blood to the brain. Since brain drugs need to penetrate the BBB, rapid and reliable prediction of BBB penetration (BBBP) is helpful for drug development. In this study, free-form ...

Quantum Artificial Neural Network Approach to Derive a Highly Predictive 3D-QSAR Model for Blood-Brain Barrier Passage.

International journal of molecular sciences
A successful passage of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is an essential prerequisite for the drug molecules designed to act on the central nervous system. The logarithm of blood-brain partitioning (LogBB) has served as an effective index of molecular B...

Towards Deep Neural Network Models for the Prediction of the Blood-Brain Barrier Permeability for Diverse Organic Compounds.

Molecules (Basel, Switzerland)
Permeation through the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is among the most important processes controlling the pharmacokinetic properties of drugs and other bioactive compounds. Using the fragmental (substructural) descriptors representing the occurrence num...
