Anticancer benzimidazole derivatives as inhibitors of epigenetic targets: a review article.

Cancer is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. One of the primary causes of cancer development and progression is epigenetic dysregulation, which is a heritable modification that alters gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. Therefore, targeting these epigenetic changes has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy.

Piperine solubility enhancement via DES formation: Elucidation of intermolecular interactions and impact of counterpart structure via computational and spectroscopic approaches.

The development of new forms of existing APIs with enhanced physicochemical properties is critical for improving their therapeutic potential. In this context, ionic liquids (ILs) and deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have gained significant attention in recent years due to their unique properties and potential for solubility enhancement. In this study, we explore the role of different counterparts in the formation of IL/DESs with piperine (PI), a poorly water-soluble drug.

Bioassay-guided isolation and in Silico characterization of cytotoxic compounds from Hemimycale sp. Sponge targeting A549 lung cancer cells.

Bioassay-guided fractionation approach led to identification of two novel compounds; (4-(hydroxymethyl)-3-methoxy-1H-pyrazol (1) and mycalene (2), alongside with four known metabolites; octadecane (3), hexatriacontane (4), 1-heneicosanol (5) and heptatriacontanoic acid (6) from the Red Sea marine sponge Hemimycale sp. The ethyl acetate fraction showed a noticeable cytotoxic activity against the lung cancer cell line (A549) with IC value of 75.54 µg/ mL.

Zingiber officinale Ameliorates Acute Toxoplasmosis-Induced Pathology in Mice.

Background: Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) infects one third of the world's population with significant illness, mainly among immunocompromised individuals and pregnant women. Treatment options for toxoplasmosis are limited which signifies the need for novel, potent, and safe therapeutic options.

Integrating Network Pharmacology and Molecular Docking Approach to Elucidate the Mechanism of for the Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is considered a notable prolonged inflammatory condition with no proper cure. Synovial inflammation and synovial pannus are crucial in the onset of RA. The "tumor-like" invading proliferation of new arteries is a keynote of RA.
