The liver function test is an imperative element in chemotherapy management due to the idiosyncratic reaction of chemotherapy drugs. This study primly aimed to replace the toxic fragments of known protein tyrosine kinases inhibitors (PTKi) to develop safe and effective chemotherapy. All the current PTKi's were docked with the tyrosine kinases and metabolic enzymes to study the affinities on the target.

Fungal extracellular vesicles (EVs) are released during pathogenesis and are found to be an opportunistic infection in most cases. EVs are immunocompetent with their host and have paved the way for new biomedical approaches to drug delivery and the treatment of complex diseases including cancer. With computing and processing advancements, the rise of bioinformatics tools for the evaluation of various parameters involved in fungal EVs has blossomed.

The conventional Drug Delivery System (DDS) has limitations such as leakage of the drug, toxicity to normal cells and loss of drug efficiency, while the stimuli-responsive DDS is non-toxic to cells, avoiding the leakage and degradation of the drug because of its targeted drug delivery to the pathological site. Thus nanomaterial chemistry enables - the development of smart stimuli-responsive DDS over the conventional DDS. Stimuliresponsive DDS ensures spatial or temporal, on-demand drug delivery to the targeted cancer cells.

Recent developments in nanomedicine have validated nanoceria as an antioxidant of therapeutic potential. However, its clinical application is far too limited in view of its poor stability and the use of hazardous solvents during its synthesis. There is a pertinent need for development of improved strategies for nanoceria to work better, especially by complexation with a matrix to improve upon its antioxidant property without toxicity.
