Workflow

Target identification and validation: The first step in developing an anti-obesity drug involves identifying the molecular players that drive obesity. To achieve this, Protheragen utilizes computational biology, which allows us to sift through complex biological data to pinpoint the most relevant targets.

Lead compound discovery: Once the relevant targets have been identified, the next step is to find compounds that interact with these targets. Protheragen employs virtual screening technologies, which allow us to computationally screen large libraries of potential drug molecules to find those most likely to bind to the targets.

Lead optimization: After identifying potential lead compounds, the next challenge is to refine their structure to maximize their therapeutic potential. At Protheragen, we use molecular docking to simulate how these compounds interact with their targets, helping us understand the strength and stability of these interactions. In addition, we apply QSAR modeling to predict how changes in the chemical structure of a compound might affect its biological activity.

Preclinical testing: Before a drug candidate is tested in humans, it must undergo thorough preclinical testing. Protheragen conducts In Vitro studies using cell lines to evaluate how well a compound affects key metabolic processes. We also perform In Vivo studies in diet-induced obese (DIO) animal models such as mice or rats, assessing the drug's impact on fat reduction, Weight Loss, and metabolic improvements.

Research support: After successful preclinical trials, the drug candidate enters the clinical trial phase. The goal of each phase is to confirm that the drug is both effective and safe in treating obesity, and ultimately to obtain regulatory approval.

Applications

  • Protheragen's computer-aided drug discovery services allow for the precise identification of molecular targets involved in obesity. This process ensures that drug candidates are focused on the most relevant biological pathways affecting fat metabolism, appetite control, and energy balance.
  • Through virtual screening and structure-based drug design, Protheragen rapidly screens extensive chemical libraries to discover promising small molecules.
  • Using computational techniques like molecular docking and QSAR modeling, Protheragen optimizes lead compounds for improved efficacy, safety, and bioavailability.

Advantages

Results: The article focuses on the modeling of lipolysis in the human body and developing methodologies for supplements aimed at preventing obesity. It particularly emphasizes using food industry by-products to develop anti-obesity supplements. Various computational chemistry techniques and AI methods are utilized to model and optimize the lipolysis process, aiding in the reduction of costly experiments. Key strategies include inhibiting fat accumulation by targeting pancreatic lipase enzymes and using flavonoids, phenacyl esters, protein hydrolysates, and plant-based substances that facilitate weight loss. The study also explores how certain natural compounds such as glutathione disulfide and silibinin from milk thistle can inhibit pancreatic lipase, potentially providing natural solutions for obesity prevention.
