Neglected tropical diseases (NTD) affect more than one billion people and new targets and drugs are needed to tackle these infections. The multi-disciplinary NMTrypI consortium has identified a number of different compound classes which could be effective against these diseases. This article reviews some of these compounds...
A significant amount of selectivity and potency data originating from screening of drug targets is generated each year and deposited in public databases. This can be exploited to accelerate drug discovery, in particular, for a variety of repurposing activities...
Drugs exert therapeutically meaningful effects if they bind with appropriate selectively and potency to their respective targets. Although many of the assay techniques employed in early-stage drug discovery provide evidence that a drug is acting upon the target under investigation, this is often indirect and the site of action and…
