Novel technologies for virtual screening.
There are several methods for virtual screening of databases of small organic compounds to find tight binders to a given protein target. Recent reviews in Drug Discovery Today have concentrated on screening by docking and by pharmacophore searching. Here, we complement these reviews by focusing on virtual screening methods that are based on analyzing ligand similarity on a structural level. Spe...
متن کاملVirtual Screening for Finding Novel COX-2 Inhibitors as Antitumor Agents
The cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme binds to arachidonic acid resulting in the release of metabolites that induce pain and inflammatory responses. Recent studies have shown that strong COX-2 expression is highly correlated with increased tumor risk. Therefore, the development of potent COX-2 inhibitors to relieve pain and treat cancers requires further investigation. We used virtual screening t...
متن کاملImproved Procedure for Screening Expression Libraries for Novel Autoantigens
The standard method for immunoscreening of a cDNA expression library is time-consuming becauseof the production of a large proportion of false positives during the first and second round of screening.This problem is more important when a sensitive chemiluminescence detection system is used. Due tothe high sensitivity of the detection system, there is a need to avoid false posi...
متن کاملThe Efficacy of N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) Supplementation in FST Model for Screening Antidepressants
Introduction: The model for screening antidepressant-like activity in pre-clinical drug studies include, rat forced swimming test (FST). The reports on N-acetylcysteine (NAC) as an antioxidant supplement in stress related disorder is well documented. This study was aimed at potential antidepressant mechanism of N- Acetyl Cysteine (NAC), a glutamate precursor on FST animal model for screening an...
متن کاملA Novel Screening Technique for Implementation of Intelligent Reservoir Technology
Throughout life cycle of oil production wells, it is imperative to have production optimization and real response time to rapid changes of well conditions and more understanding of subsurface otherwise it is the matter of expenditure losing. Smart well capabilities meet aforementioned issues. However there is a key concern in managers' mind that they have limited budget and several fields' docu...
