Abstract
The screening of large libraries in order to obtain hits for receptors of interest has been the mainstay of drug research for some time now. It is increasingly being recognised that this is a relatively inefficient way to achieve this end and the screening of libraries either designed or selected to hit particular targets is rapidly becoming the method of choice. The advantages in terms of success rate to achieve viable lead series are magnified by the cost and time savings achieved by screening more carefully selected groups of compounds. A number of approaches have been used for the design and production of such libraries or methods for selection of such focused sets from larger diverse collections. These range from combinatorially produced ligand-mimetic approaches through pharmacophore-based design to those methods based on statistical selection techniques. Most recently, progress in chemogenomic approaches has thrown new light on the relationship between receptor sequence and compounds that interact at particular receptors and this is also having an impact on the design of targeted libraries.

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
