Abstract
The majority of carbocyclic nucleosides are of synthetic origin; nature has provided two of the most interesting compounds, aristeromycin and neplanocin A. Aristeromycin and its modified derivatives are an important group of carbocyclic nucleosides that exhibits a wide range of pharmacological properties such as antiviral, anticancer and antitoxoplasma activities. Especially, aristeromycins are widely used as antiviral agents against human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B virus, herpes simplex virus, varicella-zoster virus, influenza virus and hepatitis C virus. These potential antiviral and other biological applications of aristeromycin have motivated new effort in search for novel modified aristeromycin derivatives with improved biological activities. Owing to the importance of aristeromycin and its derivatives, the aim of this review is to highlight the aspects reported on the chemistry and bioactivities of aristeromycins.

Chemistry Based on Natural Products for Therapeutic Purposes
The development of new pharmaceuticals for a wide range of medical conditions has long relied on the identification of promising natural products (NPs). There are over sixty percent of cancer, infectious illness, and CNS disease medications that include an NP pharmacophore, according to the Food and Drug Administration. Since NP ...read more
Current Trends in Drug Discovery Based on Artificial Intelligence and Computer-Aided Drug Design
Drug development discovery has faced several challenges over the years. In fact, the evolution of classical approaches to modern methods using computational methods, or Computer-Aided Drug Design (CADD), has shown promising and essential results in any drug discovery campaign. Among these methods, molecular docking is one of the most notable ...read more
Drug Discovery in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

AI techniques are increasingly integrated and accelerating the drug discovery process. These developments have not only attracted the attention of academia and industry but also raised important questions regarding the selection ...read more
From Biodiversity to Chemical Diversity: Focus of Flavonoids
Flavonoids are the largest group of polyphenols, plant secondary metabolites arising from the essential aromatic amino acid phenylalanine (or more rarely from tyrosine) via the phenylpropanoid pathway. The flavan nucleus is the basic 15-carbon skeleton of flavonoids (C6-C3-C6), which consists of two phenyl rings (A and B) and a heterocyclic ...read more
