Development of Scoring-Assisted Generative Exploration (SAGE) and Its Application to Enzyme Inhibitor Design | Chapter 11 | Pharmaceutical Research: Recent Advances and Trends Vol. 5

 In this study, an effective computational methodology named Scoring-Assisted Generative Exploration (SAGE) was devised by integrating the GEGL framework and multiple QSAR models. De novo molecular design, which involves exploring chemical space for drug-like molecules with desired properties, has been significantly advanced by deep learning techniques. Generative deep learning has revolutionized the field of de novo molecular design by enabling direct learning from input data without relying on human-made rules. This study introduces an innovative computational method, Scoring-Assisted Generative Exploration (SAGE), designed to enhance chemical diversity and optimize properties through virtual synthesis simulation, generation of bridged bicyclic rings, and application of multiple scoring models for drug-likeness. SAGE was tested on six protein targets and successfully generated high-scoring molecules within reasonable steps by optimizing for target specificity, synthetic accessibility, solubility, and metabolic stability. Additionally, SAGE identified a top-ranked molecule as a dual inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase and monoamine oxidase B, demonstrating its capability to optimize multiple properties simultaneously. These findings underscore the potential of SAGE and de novo design strategies in advancing drug discovery and development. With the ability to rapidly explore vast chemical spaces and generate novel molecules with desired properties, deep learning-based approaches like SAGE have the potential to revolutionize the field of drug discovery and development.

Drug Repurposing of Pharmaceutical Products and Antimicrobial Discovery | Chapter 2 | Advanced Concepts in Pharmaceutical Research Vol. 7

The process of identifying new therapeutic uses for existing medications is known as drug repurposing. It's a good way to find or develop new drug compounds with different pharmacological applications. In recent years, numerous pharmaceutical companies have used the drug reformulation technique in their Research and Development of pharmaceuticals programmes to produce new medications based on the identification of new biological drug targets. This technique is extremely efficient, saves time, minimal cost, and has a low risk of failure. It boosts a drug's therapeutic value and its success rate. As a result, drug repositioning is a viable alternative to the standard drug development procedure. Identifying novel molecular compounds by de novo approach of drug is challenging, tedious and costly endeavor. To identify novel use of drug molecules many laboratory and drug interactions is been done. It is thus thought to be a developing method in existing drug, which have previously been shown safe in people and are in turn used to tackle rare and complicated diseases. Biopharmaceutical businesses have struggled to get the anticipated results when aiming to boost productivity through novel discovery technologies. Repositioning existing medications for new indications could help the industry achieve productivity gains. More firms are looking for repositioning options in their existing pharmacopoeia, and the number of drug repurposing has many success stories.

Recent Advances on Natural Product Inspired Design and Synthesis of Medicinally Active Heterocycles | Book Publisher International

 Mother nature is a key source of treatment for practically all diseases, as well as inspiration for synthetic and medicinal chemists to explore new chemical spaces. Natural molecules have proven to play an important function in medicine and chemotherapy. These natural chemicals have gradually encouraged synthetic chemists to change natural product molecules in desired ways in order to incorporate medicinal potential. Natural product inspired synthesis is the result of this trend of modifying natural molecules in desirable ways. The proven importance of natural molecules and natural product inspired synthesis prompted us to write this book, which includes a comprehensive list of natural product derived molecules, extensive synthetic methodologies, and biological potential against various targets. The tiny synthetic compounds have been narrowed down and classified based on their biological activity and targets. Anticancer, antidiabetic, antifungal, antibacterial, antitubercular, antileishmanial, and other activities were included in the study. The pathway for derivatization of various pharmacophoric nuclei selected from bioactive natural compounds has been investigated. The molecule's detailed synthesis methodology is presented in an easy-to-understand format, allowing the structure and activity of the molecule to be linked to specific targets.
