Developing new drugs from marketed ones is a well-established and successful approach in drug discovery. We offer a unified view of this field, focusing on the new chemical aspects of the involved approaches: (a) chemical transformation of the origin...
Selective inhibitors of sirtuin-2 (SIRT2) are increasingly recognized as potential therapeutics for cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Derivatives of 5-((3-amidobenzyl)oxy)nicotinamides have been identified as some of the most potent and selectiv...

Deep learning has gained increasing attention in recent years, yielding promising results in hit screening and molecular optimization. Herein, we employed an efficient strategy based on multiple deep learning techniques to optimize Wee1 inhibitors, w...
Type II secretion System has been increasingly recognized as a key driver of virulence in many pathogenic bacteria including Achromobacter xylosoxidans. ATPase GspE is the powerhouse of the T2SS. It powers the entire secretion process by binding with...
Human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (hDHODH) is a flavin mononucleotide-dependent enzyme that can limit de novo pyrimidine synthesis, making it a therapeutic target for diseases such as autoimmune disorders and cancer. In this study, using the docking...
Arsenic contamination poses a significant health risk, particularly when it infiltrates water supplies. While current detection methods offer precise analysis, they often involve complex instrumentation not suitable for field use. This study presents...

Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a highly targeted, selective and effective technique to cure various types of cancers, with less harm to the healthy cells. In principle, BNCT treatment needs to distribute the boron (B) atoms inside the tumor ...
Immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting PD-L1 are crucial in cancer research for preventing cancer cells from evading the immune system. This study developed a screening model combining ANN, molecular similarity, and GNINA 1.0 docking to target PD-L1...

We present a computational scheme for predicting the ligands that bind to a pocket of a known structure. It is based on the generation of a general abstract representation of the molecules, which is invariant to rotations, translations, and permutati...
Schistosomiasis is a tropical disease that poses a significant risk to hundreds of millions of people, yet often goes unnoticed. While praziquantel, a widely used anti-schistosome drug, has a low cost and a high cure rate, it has several drawbacks. T...
