Towards the sustainable discovery and development of new antibiotics

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a strategic blueprint to substantially improve our ability to discover and develop new antibiotics, and propose both short-term and long-term solutions to overcome the most urgent limitations in the various sectors of research and funding.
Journal ArticleDOI

Indoloquinolines as Scaffolds for Drug Discovery

TL;DR: An overview of the potential of indoloquinolines as scaffolds in drug discovery is presented by reviewing the in vitro and in vivo biological activities of natural and synthetic analogues, as well as the proposed mechanisms of action and structure-activity relationships.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthetic organic chemistry driven by artificial intelligence

TL;DR: The underlying concepts of artificial intelligence are examined to demystify AI for bench chemists in order that they may embrace it as a tool rather than fear it as an competitor, spur future research by pinpointing the gaps in knowledge and delineate how chemical AI will run in the era of digital chemistry.
