Growth vs Diversity: A Time-Evolution Analysis of the Chemical Space It is well-known that the number of compounds (both synthesized and theoretical ones) is rapidly increasing. Hence, it would be obvious to affirm that the chemical space is expanding. However, is the ...

Is the chemical space diversifying or just growing?👀👉✨ To answer this question, I invite you to read our latest work!

Design, Synthesis, and Biological Activity of Amine-Type Cyclopentanepyridinone Derivatives as HIV-1 Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) targeting human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) frequently exhibit suboptimal pharmacological properties and are often compromised by drug-resista...

Sharing the synthesis of 20 new amine-type cyclopentanepyridinone derivatives as HIV-1 NNRTIs. Lead compound 9 showed potent anti-HIV activity and low cytotoxicity, with docking and MD studies suggest strong RT binding. #HIVresearch #DrugDiscovery @pubs.acs.org pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Very excited about this!

I feel truly blessed and deeply honored to have been selected as a "Nobel Alumni" at the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting 2025 (#LINO25).

I am also excited to have had the opportunity to present my research during the "Open Next Generation Science" sessions—it has been an extraordinary experience!

Latin American Natural Product Database (LANaPDB): An Update Natural product (NP) databases are crucial tools in computer-aided drug design (CADD). Over the past decade, there has been a worldwide effort to assemble information regarding natural products (NPs) ...
