Eugenol, a phenolic natural product with diverse pharmacological activities, remains unexplored in liver cancer. Using network pharmacology, we investigated eugenol's therapeutic mechanisms in liver cancer. We obtained eugenol's molecular structure from PubChem and screened its targets using similarity ensemble approach in Swiss Target Predictiondatabases.

Seizures are a frequent complication in glioma. Incidence of brain tumor-related epilepsy (BTRE) in high-grade glioma (HGG) is an estimated > 25% and in low-grade glioma (LGG) is approximately 72%. Two first-line antiseizure medications (ASMs) for BTRE include levetiracetam (LEV) and valproic acid (VPA).

This study investigated whether the neddylation inhibitor MLN4924 induces aberrant DNA methylation patterns in acute myeloid leukemia and contributes to the reactivation of tumor suppressor genes. DNA methylation profiles of Kasumi-1 and KU812 acute myeloid leukemia cell lines before and after MLN4924 treatment were generated using the 850K Methylation BeadChip. RNA sequencing was used to obtain transcriptomic profiles of Kasumi-1 cells.

The development of small molecule-based drugs emerged as a cornerstone of modern drug discovery. Structural activity relationship (SAR) studies in medicinal chemistry are crucial for lead optimization, where a subtle change in the substituent can significantly alter its binding affinity with the biological target. Herein, a highly efficient single-atom substitution (SAS) approach has been developed, where sulfur for oxygen strategy is utilized as a powerful molecular editing technique to identify N-vinyl Indole-thiobarbituric acid (6a) as a novel small molecule-based scaffold with tunable photophysical and antiproliferative activities.

The aim of this study was to present a nationwide survey on the specialist's attitudes towards stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) combined with poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) with oligometastatic/oligoprogressive/oligorecurrent ovarian cancer (oMPR-OC) patients. The 19-item questionnaire was developed by specialists and distributed online. Replies were stratified by categories and analyzed using descriptive statistics.
