Structural Features of Organic Medicinal Agents
نویسنده
چکیده
Organic medicinal agents are compounds (molecules) composed of individual atoms linked via chemical bonds. The primary elements of OMAs are carbon (C) and hydrogen (H). Other elements found in lesser abundance in OMA structures include nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), sulfur (S), phosphorous (P) and halogens (F, Cl, Br, I). Examples of the contributions of these atoms in various drug molecules are shown in the Functional group Tutorials

Spiro compounds are of interest due to their interesting conformational features and their structural implications on biological systems. The asymmetric characteristic of the molecule due to the chiral spiro carbon is one of the important criteria of the biological activities. These structures are a widespread structural motif found as key elements of numerous drugs and designed medicinal agent...

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizure attacks which are caused by an abnormal electrical discharge in the brain. Currently, there is a need for improved medicinal agents to treat epilepsy, since the currently available drugs are effective only in 60-80% of epileptic patients. So the indirect type of molecular modeling study was carried out to find out th...
متن کاملQuantitative Structure-Activity Relationship Study on Thiosemicarbazone Derivatives as Antitubercular agents Using Artificial Neural Network and Multiple Linear Regression
Background and purpose: Nonlinear analysis methods for quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) studies better describe molecular behaviors, than linear analysis. Artificial neural networks are mathematical models and algorithms which imitate the information process and learning of human brain. Some S-alkyl derivatives of thiosemicarbazone are shown to be beneficial in prevention and...
