Human T-cell leukemia virus 1 (HTLV-1) associated lymphoma is a devastating malignancy triggered by HTLV-1 infections. We employeda comprehensive drug design and computational strategy in this work to explore the inhibitory activitiesof Astilbin derivatives against HTLV-1-associated lymphoma. We evaluated the stability, binding affinities, and various computational analysis of Astilbin derivatives against target proteins, such as HTLV-1 main protease and HTLV-1 capsid protein.

This bacterium is directly linked to chronic gastritis, leading to a heightened risk of duodenal and gastric ulcer diseases, and is the predominant risk factor for gastric cancer - the second most common cause of cancer-related deaths globally. The increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance necessitates the exploration of innovative treatment alternatives to mitigate the menace.

Tick-borne Babesiosis is a parasitic infection caused by that can infect both animals and humans and may spread by tick, blood transfusions, and organ transplantation. The current therapeutic options for are limited, and drug resistance is a concern. This study proposes using computational drug design approaches to find and design an effective drug against .

It is a protozoan parasitic infection transmitted by numerous species of the genus Babesia. Second, monkeypox has recently emerged as a public health crisis, and the virus has spread around the world in the post-COVID-19 period with a very rapid transmission rate.
