New Platforms For Drug Screening And Toxicology: Necessity Or Need?
The liver is the largest internal organ in the human body that is responsible for more than 500 vital functions, including biosynthesis of major plasma proteins, immunity against infectious pathogens, balancing energy metabolism and xenobiotics biotransformation (1). One of the main functions of the liver is an important role in drug metabolism (2). Since developing new drug compounds into mark...
متن کاملNew strategies in ion channel screening for drug discovery: are there ways to improve its productivity?
INTRODUCTION From a drug discovery point of view, ion channels are very interesting and challenging targets. Over the past decade, great efforts have been made in developing platforms for patch clamp-based high-quality screening of ion channels in discovering new drug candidates as well for evaluating their safety profiles. Indeed, the automated patch clamp (APC) has recently reached the data t...
متن کاملNew approaches for NMR screening in drug discovery.
NMR spectroscopy has become a powerful and versatile tool in pharmaceutical research, particularly for studies of protein-ligand interactions. During the past few years, new NMR screening techniques have been developed. Some of them aim to increase sensitivity, which translates directly into higher throughput and/or decrease of protein consumption. Other approaches introduce completely new scre...
متن کاملEthnobotany, Ethnopharmacology and Drug Discovery
This manuscript is a review of a number of ethnobotany and ethnopharmacology texts and papers in order to arrive at current understanding and scope of ethnobotany and ethnopharmacology. It includes either a brief definition of both fields and presenting some examples on them. Also it has a glimpse on the geographical coverage of research works throughout the world, important issue of prope...
متن کاملPhosphorylation mediated structural and functional changes in pentameric ligand-gated ion channels: implications for drug discovery.
Pentameric ligand-gated ion channels (pLGICs) mediate numerous physiological processes, including fast neurotransmission in the brain. They are targeted by a large number of clinically-important drugs and disruptions to their function are associated with many neurological disorders. The phosphorylation of pLGICs can result in a wide range of functional consequences. Indeed, many neurological di...
