In-silico Investigations of quinine and quinidine as potential Inhibitors of AKR1B1 and AKR1B10: Functional and structural characterization.

The aberrant expression of aldo keto reductases (AKR1B1 & AKR1B10) has been extensively studied in different types of cancer especially the colon cancer but a very few studies have yet been reported regarding the discovery of inhibitors for the treatment of colon cancer by targeting these isozymes. Therefore, there is a need of selective inhibitors of both targets for the eradication of colon cancer. Currently, the study is focused on the exploration of two quinolone compounds i.

In Silico Prospects and Therapeutic Applications of Ouabagenin and Hydroxylated Corticosteroid Analogues in the Treatment of Lung Cancer.

Lung cancer is the second most prevalent carcinoma around the world, and about 80% of patients are of non-small cell lung cancer (NS-CLC). Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is the most expressed protein kinases in lung cancer and hence can be used in target-related anti-cancer therapy. Here, computational approach is used for the exploration of the anti-cancer potential of new steroid derivatives as previously no in vitro data was available for them.
