Boshkayeva A.K., Head of the Department of Pharmaceutical and Toxicological Chemistry, Doctor of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Associate Professor, made a presentation on the topic «Search for new compounds and assessment of pharmacological activity «in silico» (conducting experiments or research using computer modeling).
Currently, the task of searching for new compounds of natural and synthetic origin, in the direction of which research is being conducted on the basis of the School of Pharmacy, does not lose its relevance to this day. This new direction is developing rapidly in the world. The range of medicinal substances is constantly expanding due to the multifaceted scientific research, the development of new active substances, the creation of combined drugs and the emergence of new dosage forms. Based on already known substances or their modifications, new drugs are being created aimed at treating specific diseases. Medicines containing several active substances that are used simultaneously to increase effectiveness or reduce side effects are being developed and included in the nomenclature. The development of technologies makes it possible to create new, more convenient and effective dosage forms, such as transdermal patches, new types of aerosols, injectable forms, etc.
Using computer methods, a database has been created containing well-known information about the structural formulas and biological activity of 1906 phytocomponents of 50 medicinal plants used in traditional Indian medicine, Ayurveda (ayurveda.pharmaexpert.ru ).
Ayurveda has become an integral part of modern medicine.
