Overview

SELECTBIO is delighted to announce its 5th International "Drug Discovery India 2017" Conference and Exhibition on the theme "Natural Product based Drug Discovery-The Renaissance"

The origin of many modern drugs is derived from ethnopharmacology, traditional medicine, and reverse pharmacology. Natural products have been a boon for both organic as well as medicinal chemists and practitioners of traditional medicine in exploring new biosynthetic pathways, charting novel synthesis strategies, and finding cures for human diseases. However, there has been a de-emphasis on natural product–based drug discovery programs over the last 20 years by the pharmaceutical industry, in part because of a perceived promise of high-throughput screening and combinatorial chemistry which never came to fully meet heightened expectations. 

The wealth of chemical diversity that has evolved with biological diversity is underrepresented in the commercial chemical library offerings, but needs to be expanded to strategically cover available chemical space and include drug-like compounds with improved pharmacologic, pharmacodynamic, and pharmacokinetic properties as compared to their current nitrogen-rich counterparts. Many barriers do exist for the discovery and development of natural product based drugs. 

This conference is especially aimed to provide a forum to critically examine these barriers and revive interest in natural products to ease drug discovery bottleneck being experienced by the pharmaceutical industry in recent years. The need for renaissance in pharmacognosy is great and the time is now. 

The conference will feature outstanding talks by leading national and international experts in the field. Every year this event bring together about 200 drug discovery scientists together at a platform to discuss and share drug discovery related research and facilitates collaborations amongst scientists from across the globe. 

This meeting will be co-located with our International Conferences "MedChem India 2017" , "CellTech & Bioimaging" & "Metabolomics India 2017"Registered delegates will have unrestricted access to all co-located meetings ensuring a comprehensive learning and sharing experience as well as being financially beneficial for attendees.

Running alongside the Drug Discovery India 2017 conference will be an Exhibition covering the latest technological advances within these fields. We look forward to welcoming you at the Drug Discovery India 2017 Conference and Exhibition and hope that the two days will be both informative and enjoyable.
