Abstract
Binding kinetics are the rates of association and dissociation of a drug-protein complex and are important molecular descriptors for the optimization of drug binding to G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). There are now many examples of binding kinetics in GPCR drug discovery. In this report, the first principles and examples of binding kinetics in GPCR drug discovery are reviewed. Addressed are the influence of binding kinetics on the translation of binding to the therapeutic window in the context of the equilibrium state of the system and molecular mechanisms of slow binding including induced fit, displacement of water, rebinding and heterovalency.
Keywords: Association rate, Binding kinetics, Dissociation rate, GPCR, PK/PD, Rebinding, Residence time.

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
In the age of artificial intelligence (AI), we have witnessed a significant boom in AI techniques for drug discovery. 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
