Abstract
This article describes recent advances in the development of subtype-selective, noncompetitive modulators of metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 1 (mGluR1). mGluR1 plays an important role in modulating synaptic transmission and neuronal excitability via intracellular signal transduction pathways and has been implicated in a number of CNS disorders. Allosteric modulation of mGluR1 by potentiation and antagonism occurs through binding to the seven transmembrane domain. In addition to blocking agonist-dependent responses, many of the antagonists also show inverseagonist activity by blocking constitutive receptor activity. Highly potent and selective mGluR1 radioligands have been used to evaluate receptor binding in vivo and in vitro. Some of these novel agents have demonstrated high levels of CNS exposure and receptor occupancy in vivo, as well as efficacy in a number of preclinical models of neurological disorders.

AlphaFold in Medicinal Chemistry: Opportunities and Challenges
AlphaFold, a groundbreaking AI tool for protein structure prediction, is revolutionizing drug discovery. Its near-atomic accuracy unlocks new avenues for designing targeted drugs and performing efficient virtual screening. However, AlphaFold's static predictions lack the dynamic nature of proteins, crucial for understanding drug action. This is especially true for multi-domain proteins, ...read more
Artificial intelligence for Natural Products Discovery and Development
Our approach involves using computational methods to predict the potential therapeutic benefits of natural products by considering factors such as drug structure, targets, and interactions. We also employ multitarget analysis to understand the role of drug targets in disease pathways. We advocate for the use of artificial intelligence in predicting ...read more
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
