Structure based pharmacophore Modelling of compounds against Neurodegenerative disorder – Amyotrophic Lateral sclerosis
Abstract: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease characterized by the progressive degeneration of motor neurons, leading to muscle dysfunction, paralysis, and eventually death. These diseases are classified as ALS variations because autopsies reveal abnormalities in both upper and lower motor neurons. These disorders account for only 10% of all adult-onset motor neuron disease cases. Despite extensive research efforts, effective therapeutic interventions for ALS remain limited. Structure-based pharmacophore modeling …
