  • From Biological Spectra (multiple protein binding data) to pharmacological profiling!

    From Biological Spectra (multiple protein binding data) to pharmacological profiling!

    An ideal drug cures a decease and does not kill a patient (or even lab animals in the course of preclinical testing). Usual drug discovery paradigm is based on studying a compound’s properties against a specific, normally decease-related (protein) target. The ability of a compound...

    From binding data to pharmacokinetics: a novel approach to active drug absorbtion prediction

    Oral administered drugs are mainly absorbed in the small intestine. Here, depending on drug composition and size, absorption can happen through a variety of processes . Through the epithelial cells and the lamina pro- pria the drug passes from the lumen into the blood stream...

  • Drug likeness: what do bioavailability and toxicity properties tell us about druglikeness?

    Drug likeness: what do bioavailability and toxicity properties tell us about druglikeness?

    Druglikeness is a qualitative concept used in drug design for an estimate on how “druglike” a prospective compound is. Usually it is estimated from the molecular structure, often even before the substance is synthesized and tested. A good drug should show good availability, low toxicity...
