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.

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
