Traditional drugs usually follow certain "rules" (like size and solubility), but new complex targets require larger, more flexible molecules that are rewriting the textbook. Medicinal Chemistry
Medicinal chemistry is currently entering a "post-Rule of 5" era where researchers are designing complex molecules that were once thought impossible to create. Depending on your interest level, here are some of the most compelling recent articles and themes in the field: 🧪 Cutting-Edge Research Highlights If you want to stay updated on the
Artificial intelligence is now being used to predict protein structures and design new macrocyclic and covalent frameworks, transforming how we "program" molecules. Learn about BMS-986165 , a highly selective inhibitor
Learn about BMS-986165 , a highly selective inhibitor for autoimmune diseases. Unlike traditional drugs that compete for energy (ATP) sites, this "allosteric" approach targets a different part of the protein for better precision. Read more on PMC .
With antibiotic resistance rising, the discovery of BT-33 —a fully synthetic antibiotic that targets the bacterial ribosome—is a major milestone in chemical synthesis. Find it in Nature . 🔬 Emerging Trends to Watch
