Estrogens are structurally related steroids that regulate important physiological processes. 17beta-estradiol (E2) is reversibly oxidized to estrone (E1) and both E2 and E1 can be irreversibly converted to estriol (E3), which also... more
Background: Thioredoxin reductase is an important enzyme in antioxidant defense and regulation of cell function, its inhibition has cytotoxic effects. Aim: To predict if; there is correlation between the already in vitro... more
This study was performed to asses and establishes the prevalence of Polypharmacy in geriatric population in the Medicine ward of Rajah Muthaiya Medical College and Hospital, Annamalai University, during one year from January 2013 to... more
Virtual screening (VS) overcomes the limitations of traditional high-throughput screening (HTS) by applying computer-based methods in drug discovery. VS takes advantage of fast algorithms to filter chemical space and successfully select... more
The SARS-CoV-2 virus is the pathogenic agent that caused the COVID-19 disease. The epicenter of this disease is the city of Wuhan, China. It is already categorized as “pandemic” by WHO, as many countries already affected with the... more
Assessing whether a protein structure is a good target or not before actually doing structure-based drug design on it is an important step to speed up the ligand discovery process. This is known as the " druggability " or " ligandability... more
GTP-bound mutant form H-Ras (Harvey-Ras) proteins are found in 30% of human tumors. Activation of H-Ras is due to point mutation at positions 12, 13, 59 and/or 61 codon. Mutant form of H-Ras proteins is continuously involved in signal... more
This paper deals with a combination of work in the fields of artificial intelligence and computer security. It describes a decision model based on a new genetic algorithm approach for intrusion response system (NGAA-IRS). A brief survey... more
Mycobacterium tuberculosis dethiobiotin synthase (MtDTBS) is a crucial enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of biotin in the causative agent of tuberculosis, M. tuberculosis. Here, we report a binder of MtDTBS, cyclopentylacetic acid 2 (K... more
Calculating free energies of binding (ΔGbind) between ligands and their target protein is of major interest to drug discovery and safety, yet it is still associated with several challenges and difficulties. Linear interaction energy (LIE)... more
Better treatment of protein flexibility is essential in structure-based drug design projects such as virtual screening and protein-ligand docking. Diversity in ligand-binding mechanisms and receptor conformational changes makes it... more
The impact of invasive fungal infections on human health is a serious, but largely overlooked, public health issue. Commonly affecting the immunocompromised community, fungal infections are predominantly caused by species of Candida,... more
Computer methods can now be used on almost every stage of drug development, but the most common areas of computers application are virtual screening and lead generation/optimization stages. Accurate prediction of the protein-ligand... more
The apicomplexan family of pathogens, which includes Plasmodium spp. and Toxoplasma gondii, are primarily obligate intracellular parasites and invade multiple cell types. These parasites express extracellular membrane protein receptors,... more
A group of ligand molecules that possess high in silico affinity for Chitinase enzyme were screened to obtain the best ligand which have the highest fitting score and the relative energy. The conformational analysis of filariasis... more
HIV infected patients often take at least three anti-HIV drugs together in Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) and/or Ritonavir-Boosted Protease Inhibitor Therapy (PI/r) to suppress the viral replications. The potential drug–drug... more
Advances in bioinformatics and protein modeling algorithms, in addition to the enormous increase in experimental protein structure information, have aided in the generation of databases that comprise homology models of a significant... more

In this Letter, we provide the structure–activity relationships, optimization of design, testing criteria, and human half-life data for a series of selective COX-2 inhibitors. During the course of our structure-based drug design efforts,... more
Purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) catalyzes the phosphorolysis of the N-ribosidic bonds of purine nucleosides and deoxynucleosides. PNP is a target for inhibitor development aiming at T-cell immune response modulation and has been... more
