1,3,4-Oxadiazole-based heterocyclic analogs (3a-3m) were synthesized cyclization of Schiff bases with substituted aldehydes in the presence of bromine and acetic acid. The structural clarification of synthesized molecules was carried out with variou...
Drug design has always been pursuing techniques with time- and cost-benefits. Virtual screening, generally classified as ligand-based (LBVS) and structure-based (SBVS) approaches, could identify active compounds in the large chemical library to reduc...
Machine learning (ML) has become an important tool for predicting the pharmaceutical properties of small molecules. Recent advancements in ML algorithms enable the rapid and accurate evaluation of solubility, activity, toxicity, pharmacokinetics, and...
Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in inflammation by converting arachidonic acid into prostaglandins. The overexpression of enzyme is associated with conditions such as cancer, arthritis, and Alzheimer's disease (AD), wh...
Small molecule machine learning aims to predict chemical, biochemical, or biological properties from molecular structures, with applications such as toxicity prediction, ligand binding, and pharmacokinetics. A recent trend is developing end-to-end mo...
Identifying interactions between drugs and targets is crucial for drug discovery and development. Nevertheless, the determination of drug-target binding affinities (DTAs) through traditional experimental methods is a time-consuming process. Conventio...
Interest in HDAC3 inhibitors (HDAC3i) for pharmacological applications outside of cancer is growing. However, concerns regarding the possible mutagenicity of the commonly used hydroxamates (zinc-binding groups, ZBGs) are also increasing. Considering ...
Drug function prediction is a crucial task in drug discovery, design, and development, which involves the prediction of the biological functions of a drug molecule based on its chemical structure. Misleading drug function is a common reason for adver...
The rediscovery of known drug classes represents a major challenge in natural products drug discovery. Compound rediscovery inhibits the ability of researchers to explore novel natural products and wastes significant amounts of time and resources. Th...
A key molecular dysfunction in heart failure is the reduced activity of the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca-ATPase (SERCA2a) in cardiac muscle cells. Reactivating SERCA2a improves cardiac function in heart failure models, making it a validated targ...
