Abstract
In drug discovery, a hit series, with the desired primary and secondary activities, as well as physiochemical properties is identified such that the final agent will be useful when administered to real patients [1]. Medicinal chemistry can improve recognition and the binding geometries (pharmacophores) of candidate compounds, and their target’s affinity. Medicinal chemistry, in a modern view, is dedicated to understanding molecular mechanisms, chemical relationships, and the pharmacological activities involved in drug action thru pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic factors. The introduction of new technologies has become a prime concept in medicinal chemistry, expanding its interdisciplinary character. Most drugs are small bioactive molecules that interact with specific macromolecules or receptors, resulting in therapeutic effects. Modern computational methods determine...

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
