The first public domain database for diabetes drugs.

In silico prediction methods represent an efficient approach for the prediction of diabetes drugs, aiming to explain preclinical drug development and therefore enabling the reduction of associated time, costs and experiments.

DIA-DB is a web application for the in silico prediction of diabetes drugs, which uses two different approaches:

1. comparison by similarity with a curated database of anti-diabetic drugs and experimental compounds
2. inverse virtual screening of the input molecules chosen by the users against a set of protein targets identified as key elements in diabetes.

The server is open to all users. registration is not necessary, and a detailed report with the prediction results is sent to the user by email.

The main scope of the ExploreOpuntia project is the exploitation of different genotypes of the Greek varieties of Opuntia (Opuntia ficus – indica) by implementing various processes in order to obtain higher value-added products.

Compared with other plants, Opuntia provides a wide range of exploitation potential due to the processing ability of various parts of the plant.

The present project focuses on the integrated use of Opuntia to produce powders, isolate different colorants, encapsulate mixtures of sugars/colorants, isolate edible oil, and to produce bio-products from the young cladodes (flattened stems) or nopalitos, from the cactus, seeds fruit, and the peels.
