A novel medium-throughput biological assay system for HTLV-1 infectivity and drug discovery
Objective(s): Here, a reporter cell line containing two reporter vectors were developed, in order to monitor the Human T-Lymphotropic Virus type1(HTLV-1) infectivity and the cell viability simultaneously. Materials and Methods: The reporter cell line was constructed by stably transfected baby hamster's kidney cell line (BHK-21), with the genomes expressing two different reporters in separate pl...
متن کاملCurrent perspectives in drug discovery against tuberculosis from natural products.
Currently, one third of the world's population is latently infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), while 8.9-9.9 million new and relapse cases of tuberculosis (TB) are reported yearly. The renewed research interests in natural products in the hope of discovering new and novel antitubercular leads have been driven partly by the increased incidence of multidrug-resistant strains of MTB an...
متن کاملNovel targets for tuberculosis drug discovery.
Since the determination of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis genome sequence, various groups have used the genomic information to identify and validate targets as the basis for the development of new anti-tuberculosis agents. Validation might include many components: demonstration of the biochemical activity of the enzyme, determination of its crystal structure in complex with an inhibitor or a su...
متن کاملActive Learning for Fast Drug Discovery
The drug discovery always costs a lot of time and money. Chemists have to do many experiments to screen useful compounds. In this paper, we present active learning algorithms for fast drug discovery. The algorithms decrease the number of experiments required to find out the best performance compounds among plenty of possible trials. The problem is a traditional exploration vs. exploitation dile...
متن کاملNew Targets for Drug Discovery against Malaria
A mathematical model which predicts the intraerythrocytic stages of Plasmodium falciparum infection was developed using data from malaria-infected mice. Variables selected accounted for levels of healthy red blood cells, merozoite (Plasmodium asexual phase) infected red blood cells, gametocyte (Plasmodium sexual phase) infected red blood cells and a phenomenological variable which accounts for ...
