Purine analogues were discovered to be inhibitors of CDK2, suggesting a potential therapeutic scaffold. This paper addresses the design, synthesis, and anticancer evaluation of purine analogues as kinase inhibitors. In the early stages of the investigation, the designed compounds demonstrated a promising docking score and greater protein-ligand stability in MD simulation than the standard, indicating a higher affinity against CDK2.

Objective: This systematic review critically evaluates the evidence for psilocybin, a Schedule I substance, in the treatment of chronic pain.
Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a chronic, recurrent condition that demonstrates significant heterogeneity in treatment response to first-line agents. Ketamine may have a therapeutic role in substance use disorders; however, research on this topic is limited. The objective of this systematic review is to qualitatively synthesize the current evidence of ketamine treatment for alcohol use disorder and evaluate its efficacy.

Lack of proper therapeutic management has accelerated the researchers to repurpose existing drugs with known preclinical and toxicity profiles, which can easily enter Phase 3 or 4 or can be used directly in clinical settings. Vitamins are necessary nutrients for cell growth, function, and development.

While organ transplants have been monumental in treatment for these conditions, the ten year survival and long-term outcome for these patients is poor. After receiving the transplant, patients receive a multi-drug regimen of immunosuppressants.
