A robot has discovered that a substance that fights hepatitis cancer also is very suitable for the fight against malaria. It proves that robotic researchers can help quickly - and cheap - to develop new medications.
The robotic scientist in question bears the name Eve and was developed by British researchers. hepatitis The robotic scientist can automatically develop hypotheses and tests, hepatitis experiments, analyze results, and - very important - repeat hepatitis to ensure that the outcome is reliable.
Malaria And Eve has now proven what she's hepatitis worth. The robotic researchers studied 1500 substances hepatitis that may already be administered to humans to fight diseases and discovered that one of them is also able to fight malaria. The respective fabric inhibits the DHFR molecule, in the malaria parasite. Drugs that inhibit this molecule have been used to protect people against malaria. Only more and more resistant parasites, so that drugs do not work correctly. It means that new drugs must be sought. "Despite great efforts, nobody has managed yet to find a new substance that combats malaria by inhibiting DHFR," says researcher Ross King. But Eve did succeed.
Tropical diseases "Neglected tropical diseases are a problem for humanity and infect hundreds of millions of people and cost millions of lives," hepatitis says researcher Steve Oliver. "We know what cause these diseases and parasites that - in theory -. The perpetrators can attack using certain fabrics" Tracing the fabrics is expensive and time consuming, and once they are found once, pharmaceutical hepatitis companies can relatively little profit Create. "That makes them unattractive for the pharmaceutical industry." hepatitis
Eve can possibly change into. The researchers show that the robotic scientist quickly hepatitis and may screen at a relatively hepatitis low price fabrics. Eve is also intelligent: they use the information they have collected during screening hepatitis during the screening of new substances. It enables her to make connections.

Especially troubling to this article: Tracing the fabrics is expensive and time consuming, and once they are found once, pharmaceutical companies can make relatively little profit.
