Computational insights into the identification of a potent matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor from to control cancer metastasis.

Unlabelled: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are the major proteolytic enzymes which assist in regulating the metastatic process by degrading the extracellular matrix proteins. In this study, we have investigated the anti-metastatic potential of major bioactive compounds in the medicinal plant targeting matrix metalloproteinases (MMP2 & MMP9) and it's in silico pharmacokinetic profiles using computational studies. (Sivanar vembu in Tamil) is a renowned medicinal herb in traditional Indian medicine which contains indigocarpan, mucronulatol, indigocarpan diacetate, erythroxydiol X and erythroxydiol Y as the major constituents.

Computational exploration of vicine - an alkaloid glycoside mediated pathological hallmark of adenosine kinase to promote neurological disorder.

Epilepsy disease is characterized by the neuronal dysfunction or abnormal neuronal activity of the brain which is regulated by astrocytes. These are glial cells and found to be the major regulators of the brain which are guided by the occurrence of adenosine kinase (ADK) enzyme in the central nervous system (CNS). During the normal physiological environment, ADK maintains the level of adenosine in the CNS.
