The study investigates the inhibitory properties of Mangiferin and Friedelin against glucokinase, 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 T2DM therapeutic agents. Molecular docking studies' outcomes encouraged the evaluation of both compounds in in vitro enzymatic assays.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
