Drug-likeness Analysis of Traditional Chinese Medicines: Prediction of Drug-likeness Using Machine Learning Approaches

open access: yes, 2016
Quantitative or qualitative characterization of the drug-like features of known drugs may help medicinal and computational chemists to select higher quality drug leads from a huge pool of compounds and to improve the efficiency of drug design pipelines ...

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

Fundamental physical and chemical concepts behind "drug-likeness" and "natural product-likeness"

open access: yes, 2019
The discovery of a drug is known to be quite cumbersome, both in terms of the microscopic fundamental research behind it and the industrial scale manufacturing process.

Computational evaluation of potent 2-(1H-imidazol-2-yl) pyridine derivatives as potential V600E-BRAF inhibitors

open access: yesEgyptian Journal of Medical Human Genetics, 2020
Background V600E-BRAF is a major protein target involved in various types of human cancers. However, the acquired resistance of the V600E-BRAF kinase to the vemurafenib and the side effects of other identified drugs initiate the search for efficient ...

New antimalarial hits from Dacryodes edulis (Burseraceae)--part I: isolation, in vitro activity, in silico "drug-likeness" and pharmacokinetic profiles. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
The aims of the present study were to identify the compounds responsible for the anti-malarial activity of Dacryoedes edulis (Burseraceae) and to investigate their suitability as leads for the treatment of drug resistant malaria.

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Determination of drug sensitivity subgroups in acute myeloid leukemia to increase treatment efficacy by imatinib and its analog imatinib B

open access: yesMedicine Science, 2021
While chemotherapeutics without any selective properties were used in cancer treatment in the past, they are now replaced by targeted drugs. Imatinib has common use in the treatment of acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL) and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) but ...

On the Origins of Three-Dimensionality in Drug-Like Molecules [PDF]

open access: yesFuture Medicinal Chemistry, 2016
Many medicinal chemistry-relevant structures and core scaffolds tend toward geometric planarity, which hampers the optimization of physicochemical properties desirable in drug-like molecules. As challenging drug target classes emerge, the exploitation of molecular three-dimensionality in lead optimization is becoming increasingly important.

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.

Natural product-likeness score revisited: an open-source, open-data implementation

open access: yesBMC Bioinformatics, 2012
Background Natural product-likeness of a molecule, i.e. similarity of this molecule to the structure space covered by natural products, is a useful criterion in screening compound libraries and in designing new lead compounds.
