The dysregulation of kinases has emerged as a major class of targets for anticancer drug discovery given its node roles in the etiology of tumorigenesis, progression, invasion, and metastasis of malignancies, which is validated by the FDA approval of 28 small molecule kinase inhibitor (SMKI) drugs for cancer treatment at the end of 2015. While the preclinical and clinical data of these drugs are widely presented, it is highly essential to give an updated review on the medical indications, design principles and binding modes of these anti-tumor SMKIs approved by the FDA to offer insights for the future development of SMKIs with specific efficacy and safety.

Lysine demethylases (KDMs) catalyze the oxidative removal of the methyl group from histones using earth-abundant iron and the metabolite 2-oxoglutarate (2OG). KDMs have emerged as master regulators of eukaryotic gene expression and are novel drug targets; small-molecule inhibitors of KDMs are in the clinical pipeline for the treatment of human cancer. Yet, mechanistic insights into the functional heterogeneity of human KDMs are limited, necessitating the development of chemical probes for precision targeting.

Novichok nerve agents, such as A-230, A-232, and A-234, were classified as Schedule 1 chemicals under the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) following poisoning incidents in 2018. As a result, the production, storage, and use of these chemicals are strictly prohibited by CWC signatory nations. The identification of biomarkers indicating Novichok exposure in humans is crucial for prompt detection and response to potential incidents involving these banned chemical weapons.

Purpose: Ocular rosacea is a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting the ocular surface, often associated with cutaneous rosacea. This review aims to explore its pathogenesis, treatment approaches, and future directions for management.
Methods: A review of current literature on the pathophysiology, clinical features, and treatment strategies of ocular rosacea in adults and children (pediatric blepharokeratoconjunctivitis) was conducted.

Understanding cytokine-related therapeutic protein-drug interactions (TP-DI) is crucial for effective medication management in conditions characterized by elevated inflammatory responses. Recent FDA and ICH guidelines highlight a systematic, risk-based approach for evaluating these interactions, emphasizing the need for a thorough mechanistic understanding of TP-DIs. This study integrates the physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model for TP (specifically interleukin-6, IL-6) with small-molecule drug PBPK models to elucidate cytokine-related TP-DI mechanistically.

Exploring highlyefficient electrocatalysts for overall water splitting is a challenging butnecessary task for development of green and renewable energy. Herein, PtIrFeCoNi high-entropy alloy nanoflowers (HEA NFs) withstrong 3d-5d orbital hybridization were fabricated to achieve highly efficientoverall water splitting at high current density. The PtIrFeCoNi HEA NFs achieved a 57.
