The emerging field of epigenetics has been driving glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) development and progression. Various epigenetic alterations involving tumor suppressor genes, oncogenes, and signaling pathways have been identified in GBM. These alterations contribute to the aggressive behavior, therapeutic resistance, and tumor heterogeneity observed in GBM.

Molecular docking is used to anticipate the optimal orientation of a particular molecule to a target to form a stable complex. It makes predictions about the 3D structure of any complex based on the binding characteristics of the ligand and the target receptor usually a protein. It is an exceptionally useful tool, which is used as a model to study how ligands attach to proteins.

Despite intense research in the field of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) therapeutics, the resistance against approved therapy remains an issue of concern. The resistance against the therapy is widely reported due to factors like clonal selection, involvement of multiple developmental pathways, and majorly defective mismatch repair (MMR) protein and functional O6- methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) repair enzyme. Phytotherapy is one of the most effective alternatives to overcome resistance.
