Rational drug discovery and development require a streamlined interdisciplinary effort from researchers working in a specialized area. From active collaboration, the drug discovery process can be and has been significantly shortened by addressing bottlenecks in drug discovery (off-target effects, polypharmacology, and chemoresistance). Our research focuses on some unaddressed questions that could contribute to chemotherapy.
Establishing the bioactivity of a lead molecule (of any origin) from an in vitro study is the start of a long journey in the drug discovery pipeline. The pharmacological effect of the lead molecule observed in vitro may not directly correlate with the in vivo results due to the molecule's physicochemical properties, bio-pharmacokinetics, or structural mimicry. Here, we try to design suitable study models (in silico, in vitro, and/or in vivo) that can progressively help develop a reliable formulation.
The following are the areas and related publications we presently focus on:
Drug Delivery of Poorly soluble Phytochemicals
Interdisciplinary approaches in the development of cancer therapeutics
Understanding cellular response to different ligands deriving its implications
