Recent Advances in Drug Design and Drug Discovery for Androgen-Dependent Diseases
This article summarizes the importance of different targets such as 5α-reductase, 17β-HSD, CYP17A, androgen receptor and protein kinase A for the treatment of prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia. It is a well known fact that dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is associated with the development of androgen-dependent afflictions. At the present time, several research groups are attempting to ...
متن کاملRecent advances in computer-aided drug design
Modern drug discovery is characterized by the production of vast quantities of compounds and the need to examine these huge libraries in short periods of time. The need to store, manage and analyze these rapidly increasing resources has given rise to the field known as computer-aided drug design (CADD). CADD represents computational methods and resources that are used to facilitate the design a...
متن کاملRecent advances in combinatorial biosynthesis for drug discovery
Because of extraordinary structural diversity and broad biological activities, natural products have played a significant role in drug discovery. These therapeutically important secondary metabolites are assembled and modified by dedicated biosynthetic pathways in their host living organisms. Traditionally, chemists have attempted to synthesize natural product analogs that are important sources...
متن کاملRecent Advances in Antimalarial Drug Discovery — Challenges and Opportunities
Malaria drug discovery is a challenging and difficult task due to the unavailability of the vaccine and lack of newer drugs. The most potent artemisinin and its deriva‐ tives, widely used in combination therapies for curing malaria worldwide are also now falling to resistance in some parts of the world. Thus, to combat malaria, new drugs possessing high therapeutic value, minimal toxicity, rapi...
متن کاملRecent Advances in Biotherapeutics Drug Discovery and Development
Biotherapeutics drugs, such as antibodies, Fc-like fusion proteins, and therapeutic replacement enzymes, constitute the most rapidly growing drug class, and have become a major clinical success of human therapeutics over the past decade. These therapeutics of large-molecule have revolutionized the treatment of a variety of diseases in areas such as oncology, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases...
