Abstract
This review aims to give an overview of current good practice in the prosecution of Lead Generation. It will assess experiences across the field as judged from the contents of the limited number of peer-review disclosures to date. It will also rely heavily on the experiences of the authors from many campaigns within this organisation. Its focus will be on the assembly of an appropriate compound collection for application in High Throughput Screening (HTS), the prosecution of HTS, the profiling of HTS output and, lastly the Hit-to-Lead optimisation of selected HTS output. Excluded from the scope are detailed aspects of library design [1], parallel synthesis [2], virtual library applications [3], virtual screening [4] and fragment screening [5] approaches, all of which have been the subject of recent reviews.

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
Chronic Kidney Disease
The scope of the special thematic issue includes but not limited to the mechanism of chronic kidney disease (CKD), the treatment of renal fibrosis and early diagnosis of CKD and so on.
