Background: BACE1 (beta-site amyloid precursor protein (APP) cleaving enzyme) is a key target for Alzheimer's disease research because it catalyses the rate-limiting step in the formation of amyloid protein (Aβ). Natural dietary flavonoids have gained a lot of interest as potential Alzheimer's therapy candidates because of their anti-amyloidogenic, antioxidative, and anti-inflammatory properties. More research is needed, however, to learn more about the specific routes through which flavonoids may have neuroprotective benefits in Alzheimer's disease.

Introduction: The 1,3,4-thiadiazole, when equipped with other heterocyclic scaffolds, has displayed enhanced anticancer properties.
Ethnopharmacological Relevance: The prescription of Shenling Baizhu San (SLBZS) was derived from the Song Dynasty "Taiping Huimin Heji Ju Fang", which was a representative prescription for treating spleen asthenic diarrhea. The prescription comprised of 10 herbs for treating weak spleen and stomach. It describes symptoms like eating less, loose stools, cough, shortness of breath and tired limbs.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAromatase inhibitors are class of drugs that inhibit aromatase, a rate limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of estrogens from their corresponding androgens. Estrogens play a vital role in the development and growth of breast tumors especially in postmenopausal women apart from their important functions in cell homeostasis. The reduction of estrogen physiological concentration through aromatase inhibition is one of the most important therapeutic strategies against this cancer type.
