Unlocking the potential of natural products in drug discovery

Drug Target Review

Between 2000 and 2020, approximately 30 percent of the newly introduced small molecule drugs were derived from natural products. Why focus on natural products and phytochemicals? 3 This indicates there is a large pool of undiscovered natural products with therapeutic promise waiting to be mined.

Biochemical assays and deep cyclic inhibition in cancer treatment

Drug Target Review

Once a new drug target is identified, a proprietary deep learning artificial intelligence (AI) platform we call Fluency can rapidly identify small molecules that selectively bind to a target of interest. We are pleased that to date our lead product candidate has aligned DCI profiles as expected.

Reaching cruising altitude: New discovery tools to target RNA

Dark Matter Blog

The majority of small molecule drugs induce their therapeutic effects by seeking out and binding to their intended target while avoiding most other molecules in the dense milieu of the cell interior. Our overall mission at Arrakis is to expand the set of “druggable” targets for small-molecule medicines to include RNA.

AI in Drug Discovery - A Highly Opinionated Literature Review (Part II)

Practical Cheminformatics

It would be far more productive to privately or publicly fund an effort to generate large, relevant datasets and make the data publicly accessible. In each example, the authors use a modified version of their open source package MolPAL to design molecules with a specified selectivity profile.

Defense-Forward Biosecurity

Extra pieces of data, including proteins, lipids, or small molecules, are helpful when a particular DNA sequence is difficult to amplify or isolate from a sample, or when sequencing results don’t point squarely at a single disease-causing organism. But DNA alone is not always enough to identify a pathogen.
