Drugs from drugs: New chemical insights into a mature concept.

Drug discovery today
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...

Integration of 3D-QSAR, molecular docking, and machine learning techniques for rational design of nicotinamide-based SIRT2 inhibitors.

Computational biology and chemistry
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...

Wee1 inhibitor optimization through deep-learning-driven decision making.

European journal of medicinal chemistry
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...

Recursive dynamics of GspE through machine learning enabled identification of inhibitors.

Computational biology and chemistry
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...

Development of a machine learning-based target-specific scoring function for structure-based binding affinity prediction for human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase inhibitors.

Journal of computational chemistry
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...

Environmentally Sustainable Detection of Arsenic using Convolutional Neural Networks and Imidazole-Based Organic Probes: Application in Food Samples and Arsenic Album.

Chemical research in toxicology
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...

In silico assessments of the small molecular boron agents to pave the way for artificial intelligence-based boron neutron capture therapy.

European journal of medicinal chemistry
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 ...

Innovative virtual screening of PD-L1 inhibitors: the synergy of molecular similarity, neural networks and GNINA docking.

Future medicinal chemistry
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...

Predicting the Binding of Small Molecules to Proteins through Invariant Representation of the Molecular Structure.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
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...

GNN-DDAS: Drug discovery for identifying anti-schistosome small molecules based on graph neural network.

Journal of computational chemistry
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...
