Naphthoquinone derivatives exert their antitrypanosomal activity via a multi-target mechanism [PDF]
Recently, we reported on a new class of naphthoquinone derivatives showing a promising anti-trypanosomatid profile in cell-based experiments. The lead of this series (B6, 2-phenoxy-1,4-naphthoquinone) showed an ED(50) of 80 nM against Trypanosoma brucei ...

Prediction of drug–target binding affinity using similarity-based convolutional neural network
Identifying novel drug–target interactions (DTIs) plays an important role in drug discovery. Most of the computational methods developed for predicting DTIs use binary classification, whose goal is to determine whether or not a drug–target (DT) pair ...

DGDTA: dynamic graph attention network for predicting drug–target binding affinity
Background Obtaining accurate drug–target binding affinity (DTA) information is significant for drug discovery and drug repositioning. Although some methods have been proposed for predicting DTA, the features of proteins and drugs still need to be ...
