SYMMETRY® − an ensemble of computational tools and methods aiming to replicate all the processes through which new drugs are discovered, developed and approved – supports several strategies to discover new drugs. Here we describe modifying the chemical structures of natural products to improve their pharmacological efficacy and ADMET profiles as well as identifying new indications....
