In silico approaches have been studied intensively to assess the toxicological risk of various chemical compounds as alternatives to traditional in vivo animal tests. Among these approaches, quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) analysi...
Identification of drug-target interactions (DTIs) is vital for drug discovery. However, traditional biological approaches have some unavoidable shortcomings, such as being time consuming and expensive. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop no...
To greatly expand the druggable genome, fast and accurate predictions of cryptic sites for small molecules binding in target proteins are in high demand. In this study, we have developed a fast and simple conformational sampling scheme guided by norm...
In toxicity evaluation based on the nuclear receptor signalling pathway, in silico prediction tools are used for the detection of the early stages of long-term toxicities, the prioritization of newly synthesized chemicals and the acquisition of the s...
Drug-Target interaction (DTI) plays a crucial role in drug discovery, drug repositioning and understanding the drug side effects which helps to identify new therapeutic profiles for various diseases. However, the exponential growth in the genomic and...

The constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) plays pivotal roles in drug-induced liver injury through the transcriptional regulation of drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters. Thus, identifying regulatory factors for CAR activation is important for...
The identification of drug-target interactions has great significance for pharmaceutical scientific research. Since traditional experimental methods identifying drug-target interactions is costly and time-consuming, the use of machine learning method...
The farnesoid X receptor (FXR) emerges as a promising drug target involved in regulating various metabolic pathways, yet some xenobiotic compounds binding to FXR would be an important determinant to induce the receptor dysfunctions that lead to undes...
