Abstract
The application of NMR screening in drug discovery has recently attained heightened importance throughout the pharmaceutical industry. NMR screening can be applied at various points in a drug discovery program, ranging from very early in the program, when new targets can be screened long before an HTS enzymatic assay is developed, to later in the program, as in the case where no useful hits have been detected by HTS using biological assays. The binders determined in primary NMR screens are used to guide secondary screens, which can be either completely NMR driven or use NMR in combination with other biophysical techniques. In this review we briefly discuss the methods and techniques used in NMR screening. Then, we describe in detail the NMR screening strategies and their applications to specific targets, including successful examples from actual drug design programs at our own and other pharmaceutical companies.

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
