Interstitial cystitis (IC) is the principal unwanted effect associated with the use of cyclophosphamide (CYP). It results in increased oxidative stress, overexpression of proinflammatory cytokines, and bladder overactivity. Patients receiving CYP treatment had severely depreciated quality of life, as the treatment available is not safe and effective.

Methods: To achieve the goal, a molecular docking study of analogues was carried out on a specific molecular target, such as the alpha-2δ receptor (PDB ID: 6ND9); which revealed the significant binding affinity of the analogs to their respective target. Based on the docking information, all pregabalin derivatives were synthesized and antiepileptic effect was confirmed by applying the PTZ model that prioritized the most crucial significant points responsible for biological activity.
Apigenin is a phytochemical obtained from Its role in interstitial cystitis is not yet known. The present study is aimed at understanding the uroprotective and spasmolytic effects of apigenin in cyclophosphamide-induced interstitial cystitis. The uroprotective role of apigenin was analyzed by qRT-PCR, macroscopic analysis, Evans blue dye leakage, histological evaluation, and molecular docking.

The current study was designed to evaluate the anti-tumor activity of 2,4,6 tris-methyphenylamino1,3,5-triazine compound (MPAT) in N-nitroso, N-methyl urea (NMU)-induced mammary gland cancer.
Methods: Molecular docking and in-vitro studies were conducted before the in-vivo analysis.
In the current study, a series of Schiff base derivatives of lamotrigine are complexed with zinc, copper, silver, and tin and characterized by spectroscopic techniques and biological assays. Docking analyses revealed six complexes with favorable binding interactions, which were further subjected to anticancer activity. The complexes and displayed the most potent antiproliferative activity against MCF-7 cell lines with an IC value of 11.

Lamotrigine [6-(2,3-Dichlorophenyl)-1,2,4-triazine-3,5-diamine] shows certain adverse effects at small doses, to evaluate its efficacy lamotrigine schiff based metal complexes were screened in-silico at voltage gated sodium channel for antiepileptic effect and dihydrofolate reductase enzyme for anticancer activity.
