The Data-Driven Future of Drug Development

DrugBank

By utilizing high-resolution protein structures obtained through X-ray crystallography, researchers could design small molecules that potently inhibit the SARS-CoV-2 main protease, a key enzyme essential for viral replication. These complex molecules require precise engineering to ensure optimal efficacy and safety.

Game-changing pan-TEAD inhibitor for solid tumours

Drug Target Review

The current version of Chemistry42 uses over 40 generative models, including generative autoencoders and generative adversarial networks as well as both structure-based and ligand-based drug design to generate and optimise de novo small molecules. The novel molecules were further ranked based on their ADME and selectivity profiles.

N-glucuronidation: the human element

Metabolite Tales Blog

N -glucuronidation: the human element By Julia Shanu-Wilson In our last blog of the year, we look at why N -glucuronidation of drugs is important in human drug metabolism. Glucuronidation is the most common phase II reaction observed in the metabolism of drugs in humans.
