🧪Is there still space today to conduct #drugdiscovery without relying on AI-driven tools?
We describe the integration of functional assays, #greenchemistry and late-stage functionalization to develop metabolically stable #PCSK9 modulators.

🧪 The registration deadline for the First #PANVIRIDE Antiviral Drug Discovery Conference in Gizzeria Lido, Italy, has been extended! Here: lnkd.in/d6dnB8cc
Don’t miss the opportunity to share your work, connect with peers, and showcase your research in a high-impact venue.
🧪 We are delighted to present this #Wiley #Special #Collection inspired by two #international #conferences which debuted this year:
📍The First International Conference on Anti-Infectives 2025 in Saarbrücken, Germany
📍The First #PANVIRIDE Antiviral Drug Discovery Conference in Gizzeria Lido, Italy
🧪Complex diseases don’t work like broken clock that can be fixed by replacing a single part
As an alternative to the reductionist approach, we present a #multitarget #polypharmacological strategy to reduce drug #burden & prevent pulmonary #exacerbations in #CF
www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
🧪 In this work, we challenged ourselves to look beyond conventional #Antiviral #Drug #Discovery approaches, exploring an #evolution-#inspired strategy rooted in #prebiotic #chemistry. It’s been an exciting journey of creativity, curiosity, and collaboration.

This is one of the reasons why #peer #review for Scientific Journals should not be treated as an unpaid service, but rather recognized and compensated as a highly professional fee-based activity.

Di sicuro sono più bravi di noi nell'inventare delle scuse populiste. Da noi ormai la caccia al barone universitario miliardario con casa alle Maldive a spese dei contribuenti è credibile come i vari decreti semplificazione...Ma i deputati bau bau possono ancora sorprenderci 😉

🧪Have you ever wondered whether targeting #PI4KB and #Src / #Abl host kinases could be the next big thing in broad-spectrum #antiviral strategies? 🧐 Well, so did we! But instead of just wondering, we dug deep into the literature and wrote a whole review about it
