A better comprehension of the metabolisms and regulation of diseases, the increase in knowledge based on the study of disease-born microorganisms’ genomes, the development of more representative disease models and improvement of techniques, technologies, and computation applied to biology are advances that will foster drug discovery in upcoming years. In this paper, several aspects of current methodologies for drug discovery of antibacterial and antifungals, anti-tropical diseases, antibiofilm and antiquorum sensing, anticancer and neuroprotectors are considered.

    An Emerging Strategy for Rapid Target and Drug Discovery

    R E V I E W S CHEMOGENOMICS: AN EMERGING STRATEGY FOR RAPID TARGET AND DRUG DISCOVERY Markus Bredel*‡ and Edgar Jacoby§ Chemogenomics is an emerging discipline that combines the latest tools of genomics and chemistry and applies them to target and drug discovery. Its strength lies in eliminating the bottleneck that currently occurs in target identification by measuring the broad, conditional effects of chemical libraries on whole biological systems or by screening large chemical libraries quickly and efficiently against selected targets. The hope is that chemogenomics will concurrently identify and validate therapeutic targets and detect drug candidates to rapidly and effectively generate new treatments for many human diseases. Over the past five decades, pharmacological compounds however, that owing to the emergence of various sub- TRANSCRIPTIONAL PROFILING The study of the transcriptome have been identified that collectively target the products specialties of chemogenomics (discussed in the next — the complete set of RNA of ~400–500 genes in the human body; however, only section) and the involvement of several disciplines, it is transcripts that are produced by ~120 of these genes have reached the market as the tar- currently almost impossible to give a simple and com- the genome at any one time — gets of drugs1,2.
