Due to the high prevalence of cancer, progress in the management of cancer is the need of the hour. Most cancer patients develop chemotherapeutic drug resistance, and many remain insidious due to overexpression of Multidrug Resistance Protein 1 (MDR1), also known as Permeability-glycoprotein (P-gp) or ABCB1 transporter (ATP-binding cassette subfamily B member 1). P-gp, a transmembrane protein that protects vital organs from outside chemicals, expels medications from malignant cells.

Glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK3β) is a pivotal protein kinase implicated in a spectrum of debilitating diseases, encompassing cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders. While the therapeutic potential of GSK3β inhibition is widely recognized, there remains an unmet need for a rigorous, systematic analysis probing the theoretical inhibition dynamics of a comprehensive library of indirubin derivatives against GSK3β using advanced computational methodologies. Addressing this gap, this study embarked on an ambitious endeavor, leveraging indirubin-a renowned scaffold-as a template to curate a vast library of 1000 indirubin derivatives from PubChem.

SD (solid dispersion) technology is one of the well-recognized solubility enhancement methods; but the use of versatile carriers in ASD (amorphous SD) to achieve the added advantage of modified release along with solubility improvement is an emerging area of exploration. Spray drying is a widely used technology with excellent scalability and product attributes. The SD carriers explored were Soluplus, possessing excellent solubilization properties that may enhance bioavailability and is suitable for innovative processing, and Gelucire 43/01, a lipid polymer utilized in a non-effervescent-based floating gastro-retentive DDS for the modified release of API.

Retention prediction through Artificial intelligence (AI)-based techniques has gained exponential growth due to their abilities to process complex sets of data and ease the crucial task of identification and separation of compounds in most employed chromatographic techniques. Numerous approaches were reported for retention prediction in different chromatographic techniques, and consistent results demonstrated that the accuracy and effectiveness of deep learning models outclassed the linear machine learning models, mainly in liquid and gas chromatography, as ML algorithms use fewer complex data to train and predict information. Support Vector machine-based neural networks were found to be most utilized for the prediction of retention factors of different compounds in thin-layer chromatography.
