Abstract
With the dawn of new century, major technological advances in the drug discovery field have revolutionized absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity (ADME/T) profiling of new chemical entities (NCEs) among others. The progress made in the in vitro experimental determination of the ADME/T properties fueled the growth in the so-called predictive ADME/T. The process of in silico model development improved significantly with the availability of high quality data as well newer, more accurate statistical methods of analysis. Even several such models appear in the literature regularly, the prediction accuracy is limited to ‘local’ rather than ‘global’ applicability domain in majority of the cases. Majority of the efforts are still needed to address several issues such as data quality, accuracy of the results, etc., to increase the usefulness of these models. The ultimate aim is to develop in silico ADME/T models which will largely replace their in vitro experimental counterparts. The current review article discusses the two-dimensional (2D) approaches used in the predictive ADME/T model development and their limitations and usefulness in the discovery process.

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

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
