Evaluating methods targeting Protein-Protein Interactions

pharmaphorum

Understanding the mechanism of PPIs and developing methods to target aberrant ones has been a key strategy in drug development. In comparison with the classic, small molecule drug discovery approach, the modulation of PPIs is more challenging. The interface is highly hydrophobic, hence any compounds containing water would be repelled.

Addressing the challenge of salt forms in drug discovery

Drug Discovery World

This has an important knock-on effect if the compound’s MF and MW are calculated algorithmically from the structure diagram, as they may no longer accurately reflect the effective MF value which has been normalised to the version of the salt/hydrate that contains a single molecule of the parent compound. Suppose you want to makeup a 0.1

Can artificial intelligence help craft new medicines?

Drug Discovery World

Professor Sonika Bhatnagar explores how artificial intelligence is enabling drug discovery at rates never seen before. Here started the story of drug discovery. The magic bullet was the drug, while the specific mark it would reach in the syphilis causing bacteria to eliminate the disease was the drug target.

Reflecting on PEGS Europe 2023 

Drug Discovery World

This conditional activation is intended to focus immune attack more specifically against tumour cells and minimise damage to healthy cells, a major challenge for current oncology drugs and development efforts. The post Reflecting on PEGS Europe 2023 appeared first on Drug Discovery World (DDW).
