NovoMol: Recurrent Neural Network for Orally Bioavailable Drug Design and Validation on PDGFRα Receptor [PDF]
Longer timelines and lower success rates of drug candidates limit the productivity of clinical trials in the pharmaceutical industry. Promising de novo drug design techniques help solve this by exploring a broader chemical space, efficiently generating new molecules, and providing improved therapies.

Current trends in drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics. [PDF]
Pharmacokinetics (PK) is the study of the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) processes of a drug. Understanding PK properties is essential for drug development and precision medication.

Role of dopamine D1-like receptors in methamphetamine locomotor responses of D2 receptor knockout mice [PDF]
Behavioral sensitization to psychostimulants manifests as an increased locomotor response with repeated administration. Dopamine systems are accepted to play a fundamental role in sensitization, but the role of specific dopamine receptor subtypes has not

Gray-Matter Volume, Midbrain Dopamine D2/D3 Receptors and Drug Craving in Methamphetamine Users
Dysfunction of the mesocorticolimbic system has a critical role in clinical features of addiction. Despite evidence suggesting that midbrain dopamine receptors influence amphetamine-induced dopamine release and that dopamine is involved in ...

There are four principle protein targets with which drugs can interact: enzymes (e.g. neostigmine and acetyl cholinesterase), membrane carriers (e.g. tricyclic antidepressants and catecholamine uptake-1), ion channels (e.g. nimodipine and voltage-gated Ca2+ channels) and receptors.

High-throughput screening in larval zebrafish identifies novel potent sedative-hypnotics [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Many general anesthetics were discovered empirically, but primary screens to find new sedative-hypnotics in drug libraries have not used animals, limiting the types of drugs discovered.

Hydrocarbon molar water solubility predicts NMDA vs. GABAA receptor modulation. [PDF]
BackgroundMany anesthetics modulate 3-transmembrane (such as NMDA) and 4-transmembrane (such as GABAA) receptors. Clinical and experimental anesthetics exhibiting receptor family specificity often have low water solubility. We hypothesized that the molar

Neuropeptide receptors as potential antiepileptic drug targets : focus on the ghrelin axis [PDF]
Epilepsy is a very serious neurological disorder which is often underrepresented. Around 50 million individuals worldwide have active epilepsy with recurrent seizures and in spite of the medical advances over the years, 30% of these patients remain as ...
