Drug Discovery: Overview01:26

Drug Discovery: Overview

Drug discovery is a multifaceted process involving extensive screening, testing, and optimization of lead compounds to identify potential new drugs for therapeutic use. It combines several approaches, including screening large numbers of natural products, chemical modification of known active molecules, identification of new drug targets, and rational design based on biological mechanisms and drug-receptor structure. These approaches are carried out in both academic research laboratories and...

Pharmacogenomics: Identification of New Drug Targets

Advances in genomics have profoundly influenced drug discovery by increasing both the speed and accuracy of pharmaceutical development. Pharmacogenomics, which examines how genetic variation influences drug response, facilitates the identification of novel therapeutic targets and enables patient stratification for personalized treatment. These strategies contribute to improved drug efficacy, minimized adverse effects, and more efficient clinical trial design.Mapping genetic differences...
Inductive Effects on Chemical Shift: Overview01:27

Inductive Effects on Chemical Shift: Overview

The protons in unsubstituted alkanes are strongly shielded with chemical shifts below 1.8 ppm. Methine, methylene, and methyl protons appear at approximately 1.7, 1.2 and 0.7 ppm, while the proton signal from methane appears at 0.23 ppm. An electronegative substituent, such as chlorine, withdraws the electron density from the protons, increasing their chemical shift. Progressive substitution of the hydrogens in methane by chlorine shifts the proton signals increasingly downfield, to 3.05 ppm in...
Ligand Binding Sites02:40

Ligand Binding Sites

Proteins are dynamic macromolecules that carry out a wide variety of essential processes; however, the activities of most proteins depend on their interactions with other molecules or ions, known as ligands.
Protein-ligand interactions are quite specific; even though numerous potential ligands surround a cellular protein at any given time, only a particular ligand can bind to that protein. Moreover, a ligand binds only to a dedicated area on the surface of the protein, known as the...
Structure-Activity Relationships and Drug Design01:28

Structure-Activity Relationships and Drug Design

Drug design is a dynamic field that involves discovering and developing new medications based on specific biological targets. This process heavily relies on structure-activity relationships (SAR) and quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) to guide the design and optimization of efficient drugs.
SAR studies the intricate relationship between a drug's chemical structure and biological activity. It focuses on understanding how modifications to a drug's structure can influence its...

Area of Science:

  • Computational chemistry
  • Bioinformatics
  • Semantic Web Technology

Background:

  • Semantic Web Technology (SWT) facilitates integration and searching of life science datasets.
  • Existing tools like WENDI aggregate compound-disease-gene information into evidence paths.
  • Large networks of information are created by integrating these datasets.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the utility of automatically inferring new compound-disease associations.
  • To leverage semantically marked-up evidence paths, rule-sets, and inference engines.
  • To create new links within biological information networks.

Main Methods:

  • Implemented a semantic inference algorithm and rule set.
  • Utilized Semantic Web methods (RDF, OWL, SPARQL) and new interfaces.
  • Developed the Chemogenomic Explorer tool for deductive reasoning on annotated RDF statements.

Main Results:

  • Chemogenomic Explorer infers new associations between query structures, genes, and diseases from WENDI results.
  • The tool uses networks of ontologically annotated RDF statements and deductive reasoning.
  • Interactive clustering and filtering of evidence paths are permitted.

Conclusions:

  • Presents an aggregate approach for inferring compound-disease links via semantic inference.
  • Identifies and clusters multiple evidence paths using rule-sets and annotated data.
  • Enables ranking of compound-disease relationships by the strength of supporting evidence.
