Drug Discovery in Epilepsy: A Synthetic Review
Although recurrent unprovoked seizures or epilepsy has been known for more than three thousand years, and even considering pivotal contributions like that of Hypocrates (circa 400 BC) establishing epilepsy as a brain disease instead of a religious or evil phenomenon, it was not until the 20th century that the first relatively effective antiepileptic drugs were discovered. Starting from phenobar...
متن کاملChemoinformatics: a tool for modern drug discovery
The exponential rise in costs despite numerous years of hard work has hampered the proficiency, productivity and efficiency of this research. Nevertheless, due to in silico and computational advances, databanks have accelerated the decoding of genes sequences to 3D complex biomolecules in a very short time span. The important advantage of a computational technique is its ability to eliminate un...
متن کاملNMR as a Tool in Drug Research Structure elucidation of peptidomimetics and pilicide-chaperone complexes by
In the last decades NMR spectroscopy has become an invaluable tool both in academic research and in the pharmaceutical industry. This thesis describes applications of NMR spectroscopy in biomedicinal research for structure elucidation of biologically active peptides and peptidomimetics as well as in studies of ligand-protein interactions. The first part of this thesis describes the theory and m...
متن کاملSynthetic biology for pharmaceutical drug discovery
Synthetic biology (SB) is an emerging discipline, which is slowly reorienting the field of drug discovery. For thousands of years, living organisms such as plants were the major source of human medicines. The difficulty in resynthesizing natural products, however, often turned pharmaceutical industries away from this rich source for human medicine. More recently, progress on transformation thro...
متن کاملChemical genetics approach to drug discovery by diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS) of peptidomimetics*
Chemical genetics, which relies on selecting small molecules for their ability to induce a biological phenotype or to interact with a particular gene product, is a new powerful tool for lead generation in drug discovery. Accordingly, diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS) of small-molecule peptidomimetics gives access to collections of new chemotypes bearing high structural diversity. Biological ev...
