Abstract
Synthesis of genome level expression data related to human epilepsy and animal models of epileptogenesis is a challenge because of differences in the use of animal species and strains, brain regions, methods to trigger epileptogenesis, tissue sampling time-points, epilepsy phenotype assessment, array platforms, normalization algorithms, cutoff points for identifying differentially expressed genes etc. Nevertheless, a comprehensive review of reported analysis identifies chemokine signaling and toll-like receptor signaling as convergent epileptogenic pathways. This transcriptomic evidence is supported by genome-wide association analysis in epilepsy, known effect of small molecules on gene expression, and cellular and molecular studies. The present review thus demonstrates that synthesis of diverse genome level expression analysis in complex brain disorders can identify promising leads in understanding the mechanisms underlying them.

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
