Repurposing FDA approved drugs against monkeypox virus DNA dependent RNA polymerase: virtual screening, normal mode analysis and molecular dynamics simulation studies.

Zoonotic monkeypox disease, caused by the double-stranded DNA monkeypox virus, has become a global concern. Due to the absence of a specific small molecule drug for the disease, this report aims to identify potential inhibitor drugs for monkeypox. This study explores a drug repurposing strategy using virtual screening to evaluate 1615 FDA approved drugs against the monkeypox virus DNA dependent RNA polymerase subunit A6R.

Theabrownin: a dietary nutraceutical with diverse anticancer mechanisms.

Cancer, a highly deadly disease, necessitates safe, cost-effective, and readily accessible treatments to mitigate its impact. Theabrownin (THBR), a polyphenolic pigment found in Pu-erh tea, has garnered attention for its potential benefits in memory, liver health, and inflammation control. By observing different biological activities of THBR, recently researchers have unveiled THBR's promising anticancer properties across various human cancer types.

Vitamin K: A novel cancer chemosensitizer.

Cancer incidences are growing rapidly and causing millions of deaths globally. Cancer treatment is one of the most exigent challenges. Drug resistance is a natural phenomenon and is considered one of the major obstacles in the successful treatment of cancer by chemotherapy.

A comprehensive review on anticancer mechanism of bazedoxifene.

Cancer is counted as a second leading cause of death among nontransmissible diseases. Identification of novel anticancer drugs is therefore necessary for the effective treatment of cancer. Conventional drug discovery is time consuming and expensive process.
