Short personal activity proposal for the COST Action CA15135 (max 1000 characters)
| We have in our research group in Caen (http://cermn.unicaen.fr) over the last five years created an interdisciplinary polypharmacoloy research program which includes expertise in organic, medicinal and analytical chemistry as well as in molecular modeling, data mining and in vitro (AChE, BuChE, 5-HTRs radiobinding) and drugability evaluation (PAMPA, logP…). The program aims at both improving by means of data mining the characterization of pharmacological networks that cause multifactorial pathologies and suggesting innovative therapeutic approaches such as pleiotropic molecules for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. This expertise could be proposed to other teams within the frame of the cost action as well as the screening (by us or by partner) of our original chemical library, containing more thant17,000 original compounds. Finally we will organize in July 2016 an international conference on drug design, the RICT, and a satellite meeting could be envisaged for the COST action. |
