Abstract
Pyridine and pyridine-fused ring systems are ubiquitous in medicinal research and demonstrate such diverse pharmacological benefits as anticonvulsant therapies, treatment for fungal and bacterial infections as well as chemotherapy agents. For example, imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines have exhibited a broad range of activity as antiviral, antibacterial, analgesic, antipyretic, and antiinflammatory agents. Indeed many advances in the development of novel synthetic approaches to the pyridines and their fused counterparts are designed around the relevance of these systems to pharmacological research. Moreover, pyridine-based natural products with interesting biological activity continue to be discovered each year. This article highlights recent (2004-2014) discoveries related to the medicinal and pharmacological significance of pyridines, imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines, quinolones and a few other pyridine-fused compounds and is organized around their type of biological activity.

AlphaFold in Medicinal Chemistry: Opportunities and Challenges
AlphaFold, a groundbreaking AI tool for protein structure prediction, is revolutionizing drug discovery. Its near-atomic accuracy unlocks new avenues for designing targeted drugs and performing efficient virtual screening. However, AlphaFold's static predictions lack the dynamic nature of proteins, crucial for understanding drug action. This is especially true for multi-domain proteins, ...read more
Artificial intelligence for Natural Products Discovery and Development
Our approach involves using computational methods to predict the potential therapeutic benefits of natural products by considering factors such as drug structure, targets, and interactions. We also employ multitarget analysis to understand the role of drug targets in disease pathways. We advocate for the use of artificial intelligence in predicting ...read more
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
