In recent years, there has been a focus on developing and discovering novel Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors, as they offer an effective treatment strategy for B-cell malignancies. BTK plays a crucial role in B cell receptor (BCR)-mediated activation and proliferation by regulating downstream factors such as the NF-κB and MAP kinase pathways. To address this challenge and propose potential therapeutic options for B-cell lymphomas, researchers conducted 2D-QSAR and ADMET studies on pyrrolopyrimidine derivatives that act as inhibitors of the BCR site in cytochrome .

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a serious global health challenge that is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and has killed numerous people. This necessitated the urgent need for the hunt and development of more potent drugs against the fast-emerging extensively drug-resistant (XDR) and multiple-drug-resistant (MDR) M. tuberculosis strains.

The increasing problem of multi-drug resistant-tuberculosis has focused attention on developing new drugs that are not only active against drug-resistant tuberculosis, but also shorten the lengthy therapy. Therefore, this work employs the application of modeling technique to predict the inhibition activities of some prominent compounds which been reported to be efficient against . To accomplish the purpose of this work, multiple regression and genetic function approximation were adopted to create the model.

Diabetes and obesity have increased dramatically in recent decades worldwide. Diabetes mainly emerged as a major health care burden disease in both the US and other industrialized countries, among which type II diabetes is the most common. Discovering new and effective treatments for diabetes is currently a high international health priority.

Development of more potent antituberculosis agents is as a result of emergence of multidrug resistant strains of . Novel compounds are usually synthesized by trial approach with a lot of errors, which is time consuming and expensive. QSAR is a theoretical approach, which has the potential to reduce the aforementioned problem in discovering new potent drugs against .
