Drug designing and validation studies on human asthma disease gene NPSR1 using Cheminformatics tools
Journal Title: International Journal of Novel Trends in Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Asthma is defined by the Global Initiative for Asthma as a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways in which many cells and cellular elements play a role. The chronic inflammation is associated with airway hyper responsiveness that leads to recurrent episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness and coughing particularly at night or in the early morning. These episodes are usually associated with widespread, but variable airflow obstruction within the lung that is often reversible either spontaneously or with treatment". The primary aim of this study is to identify the mutational gene responsible for asthma and the potential drug candidate for the target. We finally conclude that the designed drug candidates would prove to be useful for patients affected by chronic inflammatory disease and general inflammatory disease. This work would be great use in the field of Clinical immunology and Pharmacoinformatics.

Drug Designing and Docking studies on PCOS and Hypothyroidism using advanced Cheminformatics tools and database
PCOs and hypothyroidism have many symptoms in common, such as “anovulation” i.e. menstruation without releasing an oocyte (egg cell). Some propose this is the cause of PCOs if anovulation is long term with its related lo...
