Novel paradigms for drug discovery: computational multitarget screening.
An established paradigm in current drug development is (i) to identify a single protein target whose inhibition is likely to result in the successful treatment of a disease of interest; (ii) to assay experimentally large libraries of small-molecule compounds in vitro and in vivo to identify promising inhibitors in model systems; and (iii) to determine whether the findings are extensible to huma...
متن کاملComputational Multitarget Drug Discovery
Pharmaceutical substances have been discovered by means ranging from serendipitous observation [1,2] to specific engineering [3]. The purpose is nearly always to combat one particular disease, and the approach is most often trial and error. The efficiency of these pharmaceutical hunts has been improved greatly by highthroughput pharmaceutical platforms, but the requirement of physical experimen...
متن کاملMultitarget Drug Discovery for Tuberculosis and Other Infectious Diseases
We report the discovery of a series of new drug leads that have potent activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis as well as against other bacteria, fungi, and a malaria parasite. The compounds are analogues of the new tuberculosis (TB) drug SQ109 (1), which has been reported to act by inhibiting a transporter called MmpL3, involved in cell wall biosynthesis. We show that 1 and the new compoun...
متن کاملA Novel Strategy for Mechanism Based Computational Drug Discovery
Glioma, the common brain tumor, which arises from the glial cells, offers worse prognosis and therapy than any other tumors. Despite the genetic and pathological diversities of malignant gliomas, common signaling pathways that drive cellular proliferation, survival, invasion and angiogenesis have been identified. Very often, various tyrosine kinase receptors are inappropriately activated in hum...
متن کاملA 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...
