Short personal activity proposal for the COST Action CA15135 (max 1000 characters)
|
Our team has much experience in virtual and biological screening of indolic compounds for therapy of chronic diabetic complications. Several compounds showed multi-target effect towards proteins important in development of other chronic diseases. We offer our experience in design and testing of new indole compounds acting as aldo-keto reductase inhibitors and radical scavengers for development of potential drugs for chronic diseases. On the other hand, we would appreciate collaboration with teams possessing experience in testing for other multi-target properties, mainly towards the proteins involved in inflammation, cancer and neurodegenerative processes. We have also compiled the database of compounds with indole moiety (several hundreds) with ADMET parameters involved.
