Scientometrics of drug discovery efforts: pain-related molecular targets
The aim of this study was to make a scientometric assessment of drug discovery efforts centered on pain-related molecular targets. The following scientometric indices were used: the popularity index, representing the share of articles (or patents) on a specific topic among all articles (or patents) on pain over the same 5-year period; the index of change, representing the change in the number o...
متن کاملNovel Molecular Strategies and Targets for Opioid Drug Discovery for the Treatment of Chronic Pain
Opioid drugs like morphine and fentanyl are the gold standard for treating moderate to severe acute and chronic pain. However, opioid drug use can be limited by serious side effects, including constipation, tolerance, respiratory suppression, and addiction. For more than 100 years, we have tried to develop opioids that decrease or eliminate these liabilities, with little success. Recent advance...
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 ...
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 کاملAiming drug discovery at lysophosphatidic acid targets
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA, 1-radyl-2-hydroxy-sn-glycero-3-phosphate) is the prototype member of a family of lipid mediators and second messengers. LPA and its naturally occurring analogues interact with G protein-coupled receptors on the cell surface and a nuclear hormone receptor within the cell. In addition, there are several enzymes that utilize LPA as a substrate or generate it as a produc...
