Abstract
Herein is described in silico repositioning, design, synthesis, biological evaluation and structure-activity relationship (SAR) of an original class of anti-inflammatory agents based on a polyaromatic pharmacophore structurally related to bisacodyl (BSL) drug used in therapeutic as laxative. We describe the potential of TOMOCOMD-CARDD methods to find out new anti-inflammatory drug-like agents from a diverse series of compounds using the total and local atom based bilinear indices as molecular descriptors. The models obtained were validated by biological studies, identifying BSL as the first anti-inflammatory lead-like using in silico repurposing from commercially available drugs. Several biological in vitro and in vivo assays were performed in order to understand its mechanism of action. A set of analogues of BSL was prepared using low-cost synthetic procedures and further biologically investigated in zebrafish models. Compound 5c and 7e exhibited the best antiinflammatory activities and represent new promising anti-inflammatory agents for further preclinical development.

Adaptogens—History and Future Perspectives
Adaptogens are pharmacologically active compounds or plant extracts that are associated with the ability to enhance the body’s stability against stress. The intake of adaptogens is associated not only with a better ability to adapt to stress and maintain or normalise metabolic functions but also with better mental and physical ...read more
Addressing the Most Common Causes of Death with Niacin/NAD and Inositol Polyphosphates
The most common causes of death in the world are cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer. These are perhaps best addressed by reducing lipodystrophy and blockages with niacin and inositol polyphosphates (e.g., IP6+inositol) respectively when addressing CVD. Niacin serves as a vitamin by virtue of its role as a skeletal precursor ...read more
AlphaFold in Medicinal Chemistry: Opportunities and Challenges
AlphaFold, a groundbreaking AI tool for protein structure prediction, is revolutionizing drug discovery. Its near-atomic accuracy unlocks new avenues for designing targeted drugs and performing efficient virtual screening. However, AlphaFold's static predictions lack the dynamic nature of proteins, crucial for understanding drug action. This is especially true for multi-domain proteins, ...read more
Artificial intelligence for Natural Products Discovery and Development
Our approach involves using computational methods to predict the potential therapeutic benefits of natural products by considering factors such as drug structure, targets, and interactions. We also employ multitarget analysis to understand the role of drug targets in disease pathways. We advocate for the use of artificial intelligence in predicting ...read more
