Antiviral Drug Design Platform

OVERVIEW

Acronym

AD2P-PTA

Partner institution

Aix-Marseille Université





Description

AD2P (also locally referred to as the “Plateforme de Criblage Marseille-Luminy” (PCML)) plays a significant role in the research field of antivirals against emerging viruses.

Indeed, the facility has developed and offers expertise in the screening of viral enzyme inhibitors, protein/protein interactions, clinical virus isolates, the supply of chemical libraries, as well as in the development of new technologies and drug design.

AMENITIES

Equipment

Here below are examples of the services AD2P can provide:

  • Screening of antivirals against emerging viruses (e.g., Dengue, Zika, WNV, Chik, VEEV, SARS, MERS, TBE, JEV).
  • Screening against clinical virus isolates; development of new antiviral strategies (e.g., HTRF, 2P2I).
  • Structure-based drug design; cheminformatics; and creation of chemolibraries.
