Abstract
An overview of pharmacophore models, developed for different subtypes of serotonin receptors belonging to the GPCR family, is presented. Starting with early models for 5-HT1A and 5-HT2 receptor ligands, and ending with the latest ones for 5-HT6- and 5-HT7 receptors, as many as fifty others are briefly summarized. No models have been developed for 5-HT1F-, 5-HT2B- and 5-HT5B receptor ligands, and in the case of 5-HT1E- and 5-HT5ARs only single pilot studies with non-selective tryptamine derivatives are reported. For all the other subtypes of 5-HTRs, various pharmacophore hypotheses - either qualitative and/or quantitative - are characterized by sets of ligands used for their generation, a templates for alignment, the computational methods applied and, eventually, interfeature distances and/or statistical results - if available.

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
Current Trends in Drug Discovery Based on Artificial Intelligence and Computer-Aided Drug Design
Drug development discovery has faced several challenges over the years. In fact, the evolution of classical approaches to modern methods using computational methods, or Computer-Aided Drug Design (CADD), has shown promising and essential results in any drug discovery campaign. Among these methods, molecular docking is one of the most notable ...read more
Drug Discovery in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
In the age of artificial intelligence (AI), we have witnessed a significant boom in AI techniques for drug discovery. AI techniques are increasingly integrated and accelerating the drug discovery process. These developments have not only attracted the attention of academia and industry but also raised important questions regarding the selection ...read more
From Biodiversity to Chemical Diversity: Focus of Flavonoids
Flavonoids are the largest group of polyphenols, plant secondary metabolites arising from the essential aromatic amino acid phenylalanine (or more rarely from tyrosine) via the phenylpropanoid pathway. The flavan nucleus is the basic 15-carbon skeleton of flavonoids (C6-C3-C6), which consists of two phenyl rings (A and B) and a heterocyclic ...read more
