Objectives: By 2030, prostate cancer is estimated to account for 1.7 million new cases and 499,000 deaths. The objectives of this research were to create a model revealing the activity of thiosemicarbazone-indole compounds as anticancer agents against the PC3 cell line; perform docking analysis between the compounds and the target enzyme; and predict the pharmacokinetics and drug-likeness of the compounds under investigation.

Previous studies have shown that 2-arylbenzimidazole derivatives have a strong anti-diabetic effect. To further explore this potential, we develop new analogues of the compound using ligand-based drug design and tested their inhibitory and binding properties through QSAR analyses, molecular docking, dynamic simulations and pharmacokinetic studies. By using quantitative structure activity relationship and ligand-based modification, a highly precise predictive model and design of potent compounds was developed from the derivatives of 2-arylbenzimidazoles.

PIP4K2A is a type II lipid kinase that catalyzed the rate-limiting step of the conversion of phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphate (PI5P) into phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI4,5P2). PIP4K2A has been intricately linked to the inhibition of various types of tumors reactive oxygen species-mediated apoptosis, making it an important therapeutic target. In the quest of finding biologically active substances with efficient PIP4K2A inhibitory activity, machine learning algorithms were used to investigate the quantitative relationship between structures and inhibitory activities of 1,7-naphthyridine analogues.

A dataset of seventy-two (72) cytotoxic compounds of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) was studied by QSAR and docking approaches to gain deeper insights into ligands selectivity on SK-MEL-2 cell line. The QSAR model was built using fifty (50) molecules and the best-generated model based on multiple linear regression showed, respectively good quality of fits ( (0.864), (0.
