Cyclin Dependent Kinases CDKs unpredictable activity has been accounted for a wide assortment of human malignancies, so it might be conceivable to design pharmacologically relevant ligands that go about as specific and potent inhibitors of CDK2 action. In this respect, a series of novel pyrazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazine derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for CDK2 enzyme inhibitory and anticancer activity. Compounds 9f and 10c showed best CDK2 inhibition among the newly synthesized compounds, with percent inhibition at 82.38%, and 81.96% against CDK2 and IC of 1.85 and 2.09 µM, respectively. Additionally, the newly synthesized compounds were tested for their antiproliferative activity against 60 NCI cell lines. Molecular docking revealed the binding mode of these new compounds into the roscovitine binding site of CDK2 enzyme (PDB code: 3ddq). Conclusively, pyrazolotriazine derivatives represent a talented starting point for further study as anticancer drug.

Therapeutic Potential and Mechanistic Insights of a Novel Synthetic α-Lactalbumin-Derived Peptide for the Treatment of Liver Fibrosis.
J Clin Exp Hepatol

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Department, Theodor Bilharz Research Institute, Giza, Egypt.
Background: Liver fibrosis is a serious global health issue, but current treatment options are limited due to a lack of approved therapies capable of preventing or reversing established fibrosis.
Aim: This study investigated the antifibrotic effects of a synthetic peptide derived from α-lactalbumin in a mouse model of thioacetamide (TAA)-induced liver fibrosis.
Methods: analyses were conducted to assess the physicochemical properties, pharmacophore features, and docking interactions of the peptide.

Introduction: Glioma is the most common primary malignant brain tumor. Despite advances in surgical techniques and treatment regimens, the therapeutic effects of glioma remain unsatisfactory. Immunotherapy has brought new hope to glioma patients, but its therapeutic outcomes are limited by the immunosuppressive nature of the tumor microenvironment (TME).

Neutrophil elastase () mutations are the most common cause of cyclic (CyN) and congenital neutropenia (SCN), two autosomal dominant disorders causing recurrent infections due to impaired neutrophil production. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) corrects neutropenia but has adverse effects, including bone pain and in some cases, an increased risk of myelodysplasia (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is an alternative but is limited by its complications and donor availability.

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease in which macrophages produce cytokines that enhance inflammation and contribute to the destruction of cartilage and bone. Additive Sishen decoction (ASSD) is a widely used traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of RA; however, its active ingredients and the mechanism of its therapeutic effects remain unclear.
Methods: To predict the ingredients and key targets of ASSD, we constructed "drug-ingredient-target-disease" and protein-protein interaction networks.
As natural furocoumarins, psoralen and its isomer isopsoralen are widely distributed in various fruits including L., vegetables including celery, and medicinal herbs including L. Although psoralen and isopsoralen have been used as dietary supplements because of their bioactivities such as antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties; however, the potential mechanisms underlying the antioxidant activities of these two furocoumarins still need to be explored.
