anti-malarial discovery from plant sources: chemo-informatics approach

Anti-inflammatory drugs from plant and marine sources.

Discovery of new anti-inflammatory drugs from plant origin

From traditional systems of medicine like Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine, herbs with (assumed) antiinflammatory properties are taken into study in order to isolate the active principles. The isolation is guided by biological activity in relevant bioassays. Here the background of several bioassays is discussed and some examples are presented, with special attention to apocynin, a lead...

Inductive Databases for Bio- and Chemo-Informatics

Inductive databases are a new form of databases in which one does not only store data but also patterns or regularities. A user can generate, manipulate and query for patterns of interest using an inductive query language. Data mining then becomes an interactive querying process. The inductive database framework is especially important for bioand chemoinformatics because of the existence of a l...

A Review on Anti-Malarial Activities of Selected Plant Species from the Rutaceae Family

Malaria is caused by a parasite called Plasmodium, which is transmitted via bites of infected mosquitoes. The parasites multiply in the liver of the human body and thereafter infect the red blood cells. Between 10-15 days after a mosquito bite, malaria symptoms such as fever, headache, and vomiting begin to manifest in an infected person. Untreated malaria disrupts the supply of blood to vital ...

Discovery Informatics: AI Opportunities in Scientific Discovery

Artificial Intelligence researchers have long sought to understand and replicate processes of scientific discovery. This article discusses Discovery Informatics as an emerging area of research that builds on that tradition and applies principles of intelligent computing and information systems to understand, automate, improve, and innovate processes of scientific discovery.
