Abstract
This review aims to give an overview of current good practice in the prosecution of Lead Generation. It will assess experiences across the field as judged from the contents of the limited number of peer-review disclosures to date. It will also rely heavily on the experiences of the authors from many campaigns within this organisation. Its focus will be on the assembly of an appropriate compound collection for application in High Throughput Screening (HTS), the prosecution of HTS, the profiling of HTS output and, lastly the Hit-to-Lead optimisation of selected HTS output. Excluded from the scope are detailed aspects of library design [1], parallel synthesis [2], virtual library applications [3], virtual screening [4] and fragment screening [5] approaches, all of which have been the subject of recent reviews.

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
