Abstract
Thromboembolic disorders are still the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in developed societies. Therefore, prophylaxis and treatment of arterial and venous thrombosis are among the main therapeutic challenges nowadays. Simultaneous action on several targets involved in pathology of thrombosis offers potential advantages compared to existing drugs which were developed as selective modulators of single targets. The review focuses on dual inhibitors of coagulation enzymes, dual antiaggregatory compounds exerting their action on different combinations of platelet targets, as well as on anticoagulant/antiaggregatory compounds which interfere with at least one target involved in blood coagulation and at least one target engaged in the process leading to platelet aggregation.
Keywords: Anticoagulants, antiplatelet, antithrombotics, dual inhibitors, multitarget drugs, prophylaxis, anticoagulant/antiaggregatory compounds, haemostasis, antiplatelet activity, antiaggregatory drugs, calcium ions, coagulation factors, pharmacokineticproperties, predictable pharmacokinetics, thromboxane synthase

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

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
