Abstract

Residence time (RT) refers to the duration that a drug remains bound to its target, affecting its efficacy and pharmacokinetic properties. RTs are key factors in drug design, yet the structure-based design of ligands with desired RTs is still in its infancy. Here, we propose that a combination of cutting-edge molecular dynamics-based methods with classical computer-aided ligand design can help identify ligands that bind not only with high affinity to their target receptors but also with the required residence time to fully exert their beneficial action without causing undesired side effects.

期刊介绍： ACS Pharmacology & Translational Science publishes high quality, innovative, and impactful research across the broad spectrum of biological sciences, covering basic and molecular sciences through to translational preclinical studies. Clinical studies that address novel mechanisms of action, and methodological papers that provide innovation, and advance translation, will also be considered. We give priority to studies that fully integrate basic pharmacological and/or biochemical findings into physiological processes that have translational potential in a broad range of biomedical disciplines. Therefore, studies that employ a complementary blend of in vitro and in vivo systems are of particular interest to the journal. Nonetheless, all innovative and impactful research that has an articulated translational relevance will be considered. ACS Pharmacology & Translational Science does not publish research on biological extracts that have unknown concentration or unknown chemical composition. Authors are encouraged to use the pre-submission inquiry mechanism to ensure relevance and appropriateness of research.
