Beskrivning

This book presents applications of metabolomics and integrated computational systems modeling in the bioprospecting of novel chemical entities (NCEs) and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) from diverse natural sources. It bridges the gap between basic computational skills and advanced software development. The volume comprises original research articles, experimental protocols, case studies, and comprehensive reviews on computational approaches, including targeted and untargeted metabolomics, network pharmacology, molecular docking, density functional theory, and advanced molecular dynamics simulations, among others. It also covers:An introduction to computational tools, algorithms, and databases relevant to systems biology and their applications in bioprospectionA discussion of advanced approaches for the discovery of new bioactive compounds and therapeutic agentsInsights into how systems biology simulations of cellular pathways can assist in identifying potential drug targets and bioactive compounds with precise therapeutic effectsReviews of strategic advances in the characterization and application of secondary metabolites derived from plants, microbes, animals, and endophytesMapping of unexplored target spaces for therapeutic bioprospectionThis book is intended for researchers and students in bioengineering, natural products development, phytopharmacology, plant biotechnology, drug discovery and development, phytotherapeutics, and metabolomics.

Mer om författaren

Saheed Sabiu is a professor and leads the Computational and Systems Biology Research Group at the Durban University of Technology, South Africa. The Group bio prospects for new chemical entities (NCEs) and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) against communicable and non-communicable diseases for new small molecule targets discovery. Prof. Sabiu has over 100 scholarly papers (articles and book chapters) and one edited book to his credit, actively reviewing for more than 20 journals in his field and serving as an Academic Editor in six international journals. He has mentored several postgraduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Besides being an NRF (National Research Foundation) C1-rated researcher, Prof. Sabiu is a member of the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Focus Group on Vaccine Preventable Diseases (VPD). In 2024, he was announced as a finalist nominee for the South African National Science and Technology Forum (NSTF) awards
