Direct synthesis of novel antivirals
Model of deactivated HIV-protease, an essential enzyme of HIV
12. December 2006 (Saarbruecken/Emden, Germany) - Endotherm and PharmaInformatic today announced a collaboration to develop and optimise novel antiviral agents. PharmaInformatic, a company specialising in cheminformatics, will use it´s expert systems to predict antiviral and pharmacokinetic properties of novel compounds based on computer calculations. Promising drug candidates will be identified and directly synthesised by Endotherm.
The average cost of developing a new medicine is about 900 million US dollars and the whole process can take more than 12 years. A large part of research costs are spent on compounds that never make it to market because of insufficient ADME/Tox-properties. ADME/Tox stands for absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity.
ADME/Tox-properties are determined years after synthesis of an agent in clinical trials. The prediction of compound properties allows selection of those compounds with the best ADME/Tox-properties to become useful drugs, whereby efficiency of drug research is considerably increased early in the drug development process.
