ADME, Toxicity, Molecular Docking, Molecular Dynamics, Glucokinase activation, DPP-IV, α-amylase, and α-glucosidase Inhibition Assays of Mangiferin and Friedelin for Antidiabetic Potential.

Today the alarming situation of diabetes seeks innovative antidiabetic medications, especially those derived from natural sources, as natural substances are safer than manufactured pharmaceuticals. Therefore, this study investigated the inhibitory properties of mangiferin and friedelin against glucokinase (GK), dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV), α-amylase, and α-glucosidase using computational methods, in vitro enzyme assays, and in-depth ADMET analysis. The study utilized a computer-aided drug design approach to assess the potential therapeutic properties of mangiferin and friedelin as Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) therapeutic agents.

Novel Pyrazole-Chalcone Hybrids: Synthesis and Computational Insights Against Breast Cancer.

More women die of breast cancer than of any other malignancy. The resistance and toxicity of traditional hormone therapy created an urgent need for potential molecules for treating breast cancer effectively. Novel biphenyl-substituted pyrazole chalcones linked to a pyrrolidine ring were designed by using a hybridization approach.

Molecular docking and molecular dynamic simulation-based phytoconstituents against SARS-CoV-2 with dual inhibition of the primary protease targets.

A novel coronavirus has caused major health problems and is spreading globally. The main protease enzyme plays a significant role in the number of copies of ss-RNA produced during the proteolytic cleavage of polypeptides. This work aims to find possible dual inhibitors of the 3-Chymotrypsin-like proteases PDB-6W63 and 6LU7 which increase efficiency and faster inhibition activity.

Discovery of Novel Pyrimidine Based Small Molecule Inhibitors as VEGFR-2 Inhibitors: Design, Synthesis, and Anti-cancer Studies.

Background: Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are potent oncoproteins in cancer that, when mutated or overexpressed, can cause uncontrolled growth of cells, angiogenesis, and metastasis, making them significant targets for cancer treatment. Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2), is a tyrosine kinase receptor that is produced in endothelial cells and is the most crucial regulator of angiogenic factors involved in tumor angiogenesis. So, a series of new substituted N-(4-((2-aminopyrimidin-5-yl)oxy)phenyl)-N-phenyl cyclopropane- 1,1-dicarboxamide derivatives as VEGFR-2 inhibitors have been designed and synthesized.

Natural polymers as potential P-glycoprotein inhibitors: Pre-ADMET profile and computational analysis as a proof of concept to fight multidrug resistance in cancer.

P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is known as the "" because it contributes to tumor resistance to several different classes of anticancer drugs. The effectiveness of such polymers in treating cancer and delivering drugs has been shown in a wide range of and experiments. The primary objective of the present study was to investigate the inhibitory effects of several naturally occurring polymers on P-gp efflux, as it is known that P-gp inhibition can impede the elimination of medications.

Dual targeting in prostate cancer with phytoconstituents as a potent lead: a computational approach for novel drug discovery.

Prostate Cancer (PCa) is an abnormal cell growth within the prostate. This condition is the second most widespread malignancy in elderly males and one of the most frequently diagnosed life-threatening conditions. The Androgen receptor signaling pathway played a crucial role in the initiation and spread to increase the risk of PCa.

Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles mediated Azadirachta indica extract and study of their characterization, molecular docking, and antibacterial activity.

The green production of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) produces AgNPs with minimum influence on the environment by using plant components such as alkaloids, carbohydrates, lipids, enzymes, flavonoids, terpenoids, and polyphenols as reducing agents. In the present investigation, Azadirachta indica leaf extract was used to form AgNPs from a 1 mM silver nitrate solution. The plan proved to be incredibly straightforward, cost-effective, and effective.

Discovery of New Quinazoline Derivatives as VEGFR-2 Inhibitors: Design, Synthesis, and Anti-proliferative Studies.

Background: In cancer, Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are powerful oncoproteins that can lead to uncontrolled cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and metastasis when mutated or overexpressed, making them crucial targets for cancer treatment. In endothelial cells, one of them is vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2), a tyrosine kinase receptor that is produced and is the most essential regulator of angiogenic factors involved in tumor angiogenesis. So, a series of new N-(4-(4-amino-6,7-dimethoxyquinazolin-2-yloxy)phenyl)-N-phenyl cyclopropane-1,1- dicarboxamide derivatives as VEGFR-2 inhibitors have been designed and synthesized.

Design, Synthesis, Molecular Docking, and Preliminary Pharmacological Screening of some New Benzo[d]thiazol-2-ylamino Containing Chromen-2- one Derivatives with Atypical Antipsychotic Profile.

Introduction: Mental disorders are very serious complicated disorders. Schizophrenia is one of the most baffling mental disorders. The new series 7-(2-(benzo[d]thiazol-2- ylamino)ethoxy)-4-methyl-2H-chromen-2- synthesized in search of newer compounds for Schizophrenia.

The Design, Synthesis, and Evaluation of Diaminopimelic Acid Derivatives as Potential F Inhibitors Preventing Lysine Biosynthesis for Antibacterial Activity.

We created thiazole and oxazole analogues of diaminopimelic acid (DAP) by replacing its carboxyl groups and substituting sulphur for the central carbon atom. Toxicity, ADME, molecular docking, and in vitro antimicrobial studies of the synthesized compounds were carried out. These compounds displayed significant antibacterial efficacy, with MICs of 70-80 µg/mL against all tested bacteria.

Targeting Small Molecule Tyrosine Kinases by Polyphenols: New Move Towards Anti-tumor Drug Discovery.

Background: Cancer is a complex disease involving genetic and epigenetic alteration that allows cells to escape normal homeostasis.
