Rational design of new chemical drugs based on compounds that block the pores in cell membranes

Abstract

“Rational Drug Design” method is a new principle and methodology in producing pharmaceuticals based on precise and structure-oriented approach. The proposed method is based on principle of blocking the pores caused by Staphylococccus aureus (S. aureus) toxins in the membranes of host cells [1]. Design of β-cyclodextrin derivatives with precise geometry might be used for production of antibacterial and prophylactic pharmaceuticals against S. aureus infection.
