Exploring cyclopropylamine containing cyanopyrimidines as LSD1 inhibitors: Design, synthesis, ADMET, MD analysis and anticancer activity profiling.

In this series we report the structure-based design, synthesis and anticancer activity evaluation of a series of eighteen cyclopropylamine containing cyanopyrimidine derivatives. The computational predictions of ADMET properties revealed appropriate aqueous solubility, high GI absorption, no BBB permeability, no Lipinski rule violations, medium total clearance and no mutagenic, tumorigenic, irritant and reproductive toxic risks for most of the compounds. Compounds VIIb, VIIi and VIIm emerged as the most potent anticancer agents among all compounds evaluated against 60 cancer cell lines through the one-dose (10 µM) sulforhodamine B assay.

A Quinquennial Review of Potent LSD1 Inhibitors Explored for the Treatment of Different Cancers, with Special Focus on SAR Studies.

Cancer bears a significant share of global mortality. The enzyme Lysine Specific Demethylase 1 (LSD1, also known as KDM1A), since its discovery in 2004, has captured the attention of cancer researchers due to its overexpression in several cancers like acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), solid tumours, etc. The Lysine Specific Demethylase (LSD1) downregulation is reported to have an effect on cancer proliferation, migration, and invasion.

SAR based Review on Diverse Heterocyclic Compounds with Various Potential Molecular Targets in the Fight against COVID-19: A Medicinal Chemist Perspective.

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) was reported to be transmitted from bats to humans and, became a pandemic in 2020. COVID-19 is responsible for millions of deaths worldwide and still, the numbers are increasing. Further, despite the availability of vaccines, mutation in the virus continuously poses a threat of re-emergence of the more lethal form of the virus.

Intestinal ascariasis: the commonest cause of bowel obstruction in children at a tertiary care center in Kashmir.

Background: Ascariasis is the commonest intestinal nematodal infestation in man. Ascariasis commonly inhabits small bowel although it can migrate to biliary tree and other orifices. The aim of this study is to analyze the presentation, diagnosis, management of bowel obstruction caused by Ascaris lumbricoides and to study various surgical complications.
