Ligand-based pharmacophore modeling to identify plant-derived acetylcholinesterase inhibitor natural compounds in Alzheimer’s disease
Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by decreased cognitive function in patients due to forming Aβ peptides and neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) in the brain. Therefore, the need to develop new treatments can reduce this risk. Acetylcholinesterase is one of the targets used in the design of new drugs for the treatment of AD. The researchers obtain new i...
متن کاملDiscovery of New Compounds Active against Plasmodium falciparum by High Throughput Screening of Microbial Natural Products
Due to the low structural diversity within the set of antimalarial drugs currently available in the clinic and the increasing number of cases of resistance, there is an urgent need to find new compounds with novel modes of action to treat the disease. Microbial natural products are characterized by their large diversity provided in terms of the chemical complexity of the compounds and the novel...
متن کاملNatural Compounds: Molecular Weapons against Leukemia’s
Nowadays cancer is one of the main reasons of death all over the world and it is estimated that deaths caused by cancer will grow dramatically in the next decades. Even if chemotherapy is the election therapy for solid tumors, as well as leukemias and lymphomas, cancer treatments are in continuous evolution trying to solve the problem of resistance mainly due to low accumulation of the drug in ...
متن کاملScreening of Natural/Synthetic Compounds for Antimalarial Activity
Plants have been used as a traditional medicine for the treatment of malaria. Plants may provide drugs directly such as quinine from cinchona bark or they may provide template molecules on which to base further new structures by organic synthesis—artemisinin from Artemisia annua. At the NIMR, efforts are being made to do primary screening of crude extracts of plant products to screen different ...
متن کاملScreening and identification of novel biologically active natural compounds
With the advent of very rapid and cheap genome analyses and the linkage of these plus microbial metabolomics to potential compound structures came the realization that there was an immense sea of novel agents to be mined and tested. In addition, it is now recognized that there is significant microbial involvement in many natural products isolated from "nominally non-microbial sources". This sho...
