In Silico Exploration of Podophyllum Hexandrum-Derived Phytocompounds as Potential Therapeutics Against Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC): A Molecular Docking Approach
Abstract: Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) is a fast-growing and aggressive type of lung cancer that spreads quickly strongly associated with smoking. It is characterized by symptoms, such as persistent cough, breathing difficulties, or hoarseness, though it can sometimes be asymptomatic which makes early detection challenging. The tumor suppressor gene TP53 is critical in regulating the cell cycle and preventing uncontrolled cell division. Mutations in TP53 result in the loss of …

Repurposing Approved Immunomodulatory Drugs for Target Proteins in the Pancreas of European eel: A Molecular Docking Approach
Abstract: Leishmaniasis is a disease caused by tiny parasites called Leishmania, which spread to humans through the bite of an infected female sand fly. The disease manifests in three different forms, and the protein calcitonin promotes the disease’s spread. By reducing blood calcium levels, inhibiting osteoclast activity, increasing calcium excretion, and possibly playing a role in neurotransmitter modulation, calcitonin, a hormone released by vertebrates, promotes the progression of pathogenesis and lessens …

Computational Identification of Antigenic Proteins and Epitopes in Hantavirus sp. for Drug Repurposing
Abstract: Hantavirus is an emerging virus that spreads from animals to humans and can cause serious illnesses like hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) and hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS). there are no FDA-approved treatments available for these diseases. This study explores in-silico drug repurposing as a strategy to identify potential therapeutic candidates. The physicochemical, secondary structure, antigenicity, and post-translational modification analysis of hantavirus proteins – specifically the glycoprotein precursor, N protein, …

Computational Analysis of Tinospora Cordifolia Phytochemicals as Potential Inhibitors of BRCA1-BRCT Domain Interaction in Breast Cancer
Abstract: Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, accounting for a significant proportion of mortality rates among women. Despite current therapeutic approaches, the disease remains characterized by molecular heterogeneity, making it challenging to develop effective treatments. This study explores the potential of Tinospora cordifolia, a medicinal plant, in breast cancer therapy. Guduchi, scientifically known as Tinospora cordifolia, boasts a centuries-long history of use in traditional medicine, with a …

In Silico Analysis and Molecular Docking Studies of COX-2 Inhibitors for Anti-Inflammatory Activity
Abstract: Although nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are frequently used to treat pain, lower fevers, and control inflammation, they frequently cause gastrointestinal side effects because they inhibit the COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes. Despite their effectiveness and lack of gastrointestinal side effects, selective COX-2 inhibitors have been linked to cardiovascular risks. To find new COX-2 inhibitors that are safer and more effective, this study uses in silico techniques, such as molecular docking and …
