Theoretical-Cheminformatic Study of Four Indolylphytoquinones, Prospective Anticancer Candidates.

Breast cancer is a disease with a high mortality rate worldwide; consequently, urgent achievements are required to design new greener drugs, leaving natural products and their derivatives as good options. A constant antineoplastic effect has been observed when the phytoproduct contains an indole fragment. Therefore, the objective of this work was to carry out a thoughtful computational study to perform an appropriate evaluation of four novel molecules of the class of the 3-indolylquinones as phytodrug candidates for antineoplastic activity: thymoquinone (TQ), 2,6-dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone (DMQ), 2,3-dimethoxy-5-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone (DMMQ), and 2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone (DHQ).

In Silico Study of Novel Cyclodextrin Inclusion Complexes of Polycaprolactone and Its Correlation with Skin Regeneration.

Three novel biomaterials obtained via inclusion complexes of β-cyclodextrin, 6-deoxi-6-amino-β-cyclodextrin and epithelial growth factor grafted to 6-deoxi-6-amino-β-cyclodextrin with polycaprolactone. Furthermore, some physicochemical, toxicological and absorption properties were predicted using bioinformatics tools. The electronic, geometrical and spectroscopical calculated properties agree with the properties obtained via experimental methods, explaining the behaviors observed in each case.
