In silico toxicity profiling of natural product compound libraries from African flora with anti-malarial and anti-HIV properties.

Computational biology and chemistry
This paper describes an analysis of the diversity and chemical toxicity assessment of three chemical libraries of compounds from African flora (the p-ANAPL, AfroMalariaDb, and Afro-HIV), respectively containing compounds exhibiting activities against...

Development and validation of an LC-MS/MS method for quantification of NC-8 in rat plasma and its application to pharmacokinetic studies.

Journal of food and drug analysis
ent-16-Oxobeyeran-19-N-methylureido (NC-8) is a recently synthesized derivative of isosteviol that showed anti-hepatitis B virus (HBV) activity by disturbing replication and gene expression of the HBV and by inhibiting the host toll-like receptor 2/n...

Obituary: Toshio Fujita, QSAR pioneer.

Journal of computer-aided molecular design
This is the obituary for Toshio Fujita, pioneer of the quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) paradigm.

Novel cationic chitosan derivative bearing 1,2,3-triazolium and pyridinium: Synthesis, characterization, and antifungal property.

Carbohydrate polymers
In this paper, novel cationic chitosan derivative possessing 1,2,3-triazolium and pyridinium groups was synthesized conveniently via cuprous-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) and methylation. FTIR, H NMR, and elemental analysis examined th...

Structural characterization and osteogenic bioactivity of a sulfated polysaccharide from pacific abalone (Haliotis discus hannai Ino).

Carbohydrate polymers
Bone morphogenic protein-2 (BMP-2) is known to promote osteogenesis. To find novel adjuvants to enhance the activity of BMP-2, the present study investigated the structure BMP-2-induced osteogenic activity of a water-soluble polysaccharide from the g...

The Liver Toxicity Knowledge Base (LKTB) and drug-induced liver injury (DILI) classification for assessment of human liver injury.

Expert review of gastroenterology & hepatology
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is challenging for drug development, clinical practice and regulation. The Liver Toxicity Knowledge Base (LTKB) provides essential data for DILI study. Areas covered: The LTKB provided various types of data that can b...

Convex-PL: a novel knowledge-based potential for protein-ligand interactions deduced from structural databases using convex optimization.

Journal of computer-aided molecular design
We present a novel optimization approach to train a free-shape distance-dependent protein-ligand scoring function called Convex-PL. We do not impose any functional form of the scoring function. Instead, we decompose it into a polynomial basis and ded...

Deep learning methods for protein torsion angle prediction.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Deep learning is one of the most powerful machine learning methods that has achieved the state-of-the-art performance in many domains. Since deep learning was introduced to the field of bioinformatics in 2012, it has achieved success in a...

Identifying novel factor XIIa inhibitors with PCA-GA-SVM developed vHTS models.

European journal of medicinal chemistry
There currently is renewed interest in blood clotting Factor XII as a potential target for thrombosis inhibition. Historically untargeted, there is little drug information with which to start drug candidate searches. Typical high-throughput screening...
