Abstract
To reduce the high attrition rates of NCEs in preclinical and clinical development uncovering pharmacokinetics, toxicokinetics, drug metabolism, and drug-drug interactions early in drug discovery would be highly valuable. There have been many in vitro screens developed for these areas that have higher sample throughput, which is consistent with the iterative cycle of a typical drug discovery research project. We have presented the present status and given detailed descriptions of biotransformation, metabolic stability assays, identification of drug metabolizing P450 enzymes, prediction of pharmacokinetic parameters from in vitro metabolism data, structure elucidation of metabolites, CYP450 inhibition assays and CYP450 induction assays from a drug discovery perspective. Strategies for the proper sequencing of primary and secondary assays employed for drug metabolism and CYP450 inhibition & induction is discussed.

Chemistry Based on Natural Products for Therapeutic Purposes
The development of new pharmaceuticals for a wide range of medical conditions has long relied on the identification of promising natural products (NPs). There are over sixty percent of cancer, infectious illness, and CNS disease medications that include an NP pharmacophore, according to the Food and Drug Administration. Since NP ...read more
Current Trends in Drug Discovery Based on Artificial Intelligence and Computer-Aided Drug Design
Drug development discovery has faced several challenges over the years. In fact, the evolution of classical approaches to modern methods using computational methods, or Computer-Aided Drug Design (CADD), has shown promising and essential results in any drug discovery campaign. Among these methods, molecular docking is one of the most notable ...read more
Drug Discovery in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
In the age of artificial intelligence (AI), we have witnessed a significant boom in AI techniques for drug discovery. AI techniques are increasingly integrated and accelerating the drug discovery process. These developments have not only attracted the attention of academia and industry but also raised important questions regarding the selection ...read more
From Biodiversity to Chemical Diversity: Focus of Flavonoids
Flavonoids are the largest group of polyphenols, plant secondary metabolites arising from the essential aromatic amino acid phenylalanine (or more rarely from tyrosine) via the phenylpropanoid pathway. The flavan nucleus is the basic 15-carbon skeleton of flavonoids (C6-C3-C6), which consists of two phenyl rings (A and B) and a heterocyclic ...read more
