Using reverse docking to identify potential targets for ginsenosides
BACKGROUND Ginsenosides are the main ingredients of ginseng, which, in traditional Eastern medicine, has been claimed to have therapeutic values for many diseases. In order to verify the effects of ginseng that have been empirically observed, we utilized the reverse docking method to screen for target proteins that are linked to specific diseases. METHODS We constructed a target protein datab...
متن کاملDrugs acting on central nervous system (CNS) targets as leads for non-CNS targets
Out-of-the-box approaches are currently needed to replenish the souring pipelines of pharmaceutical companies across the globe. Here a theme is presented - the use of central nervous system (CNS) drugs as leads for non-CNS targets. The approach is related to the use of existing drugs for new indications. Suitable chemical modifications of the CNS drugs abolish their CNS penetration. These novel...
متن کاملChallenging New Targets for CNS–HIV Infection
THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM (CNS) REPRESENTS AN IMPORTANT TARGET FOR HIV INFECTION DURING MULTIPLE STAGES OF THE DISEASE: early, after invasion of the host, acting as a viral reservoir; lately, subverting its function and causing peripheral neuropathies and neurocognitive disorders; and lastly, during the final stage of NeuroAIDS, triggering opportunistic infections, cancers, and dementia. Highl...
متن کاملIdentifying MicroRNAs and their Targets
Identifying microRNAs and their targets Summary I will summarize what can be learned from predicting and analyzing microRNA targets. As an example, I will discuss the function of miR-150 in the immune system. Finally, I will present a new algorithm for the identification of microRNAs from deep sequencing data. Genomics. Computational modeling of gene expression. Decoding of gene regulatory netw...
متن کاملCoxsackievirus targets proliferating neuronal progenitor cells in the neonatal CNS.
Type B coxsackieviruses (CVB) frequently infect the CNS and, together with other enteroviruses, are the most common cause of viral meningitis in humans. Newborn infants are particularly vulnerable, and CVB also can infect the fetus, leading to mortality, or to neurodevelopmental defects in surviving infants. Using a mouse model of neonatal CVB infection, we previously demonstrated that coxsacki...
