Cancer is one of the leading causes of an increasing number of deaths in modern society. As the population increases, there is an increased thrust for screening newer anticancer (phytoconstituents) agents to manage cancers. Around 35000 herbal phytoconstituents are obtained from plants, animals and marine sources to create awareness of green therapy in managing, reducing, and minimizing side effects of modern chemotherapeutics and radiation therapy. The herbal plants are the richest sources of natural remedies and bioactive compounds that promote medicines' alternative systems as a green approach for managing various cancers. The terpenoids, saponins, volatile oils, and flavonoid phytoconstituents are most efficiently used to manage cancer with minimal side effects.

The objectives of the present study are to investigate the efficacious, potent and safe use of herbal phytoconstituents extracts in the management of cancers and study their mechanism of action through alteration of transcription proteins, blosures for scientific studies of newer anticancer agents in herbal industries.

The phytoactive moieties having herbal extracts help improve the compromised immunity status of affected patients and provide measures for scientific studies of newer anticancer agents in herbal industries.Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can initiate a very complex disease of the central nervous system (CNS), starting with the primary pathology of the inciting trauma and subsequent inflammatory and CNS tissue response. Delirium has long been regarded as an almost inevitable consequence of moderate to severe TBI, but more recently has been recognized as an organ dysfunction syndrome with potentially mitigating interventions. The diagnosis of delirium is independently associated with prolonged hospitalization, increased mortality and worse cognitive outcome across critically ill populations. Investigation of the unique problems and management challenges of TBI patients is needed to reduce the burden of delirium in this population. In this narrative review, possible etiologic mechanisms behind post-traumatic delirium are discussed, including primary injury to structures mediating arousal and attention and secondary injury due to progressive inflammatory destruction of the brain parenchyma. Other potential etiologic contributors include dysregulation of neurotransmission due to intravenous sedatives, seizures, organ failure, sleep cycle disruption or other delirium risk factors. Delirium screening can be accomplished in TBI patients and the presence of delirium portends worse outcomes. There is evidence that multi-component care bundles including an analgesia-prioritized sedation algorithm, regular spontaneous awakening and breathing trials, protocolized delirium assessment, early mobility and family engagement can reduce the burden of ICU delirium. The aim of this review is to summarize the approach to delirium in TBI patients with an emphasis on pathogenesis and management. Emerging CNS-active drug therapies that show promise in preclinical studies are highlighted.Pain is a prevalent biopsychosocial condition that poses a significant challenge to healthcare providers, contributes substantially to a disability, and is a major economic burden worldwide. An overreliance on opioid analgesics, which primarily target the μ-opioid receptor, has caused devastating morbidity and mortality in the form of misuse and overdose-related death. Nafamostat Thus, novel analgesic medications are needed that can effectively treat pain and provide an alternative to opioids. A variety of cellular ion channels contribute to nociception, the response of the sensory nervous system to a noxious stimulus that commonly leads to pain. Ion channels involved in nociception may provide a suitable target for pharmacologic modulation to achieve pain relief. This narrative review summarizes the evidence for two ion channels that merit consideration as targets for non-opioid pain medications ryanodine receptors (RyRs), which are intracellular calcium channels, and hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels, which belong to the superfamily of voltage-gated K+ channels. The role of these channels in nociception and neuropathic pain is discussed and suitability as targets for novel analgesics and antihyperalgesics is considered.

Cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) and the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) are two of the most promising targets in oncology research. Thus, a series of computational approaches have been applied to the search for more potent inhibitors of these cancerrelated proteins. However, current approaches have focused on chemical analogs while predicting the inhibitory activity against only one of these targets, but never against both.

We report the first perturbation model combined with machine learning (PTML) to enable the design and prediction of dual inhibitors of CDK4 and HER2.

Inhibition data for CDK4 and HER2 were extracted from ChEMBL. The PTML model relied on artificial neural networks to allow the classification/prediction of molecules as active or inactive against CDK4 and/or HER2.

The PTML model displayed sensitivity and specificity higher than 80% in the training set. The same statistical metrics had values above 75% in the test set. We extracted several molecular fragments and estimated their quantitative contributions to the inhibitory activity against CDK4 and HER2. Guided by the physicochemical and structural interpretations of the molecular descriptors in the PTML model, we designed six molecules by assembling several fragments with positive contributions. Three of these molecules were predicted as potent dual inhibitors of CDK4 and HER2, while the other three were predicted as inhibitors of at least one of these proteins. All the molecules complied with Lipinski's rule of five and its variants.

The present work represents an encouraging alternative for future anticancer chemotherapies.

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma characterized by the mutation and overexpression of the cyclin D1 protein by the reciprocal chromosomal translocation t(11;14)(q13q32).

The present study aims to identify potential inhibition of MMP9, Proteasome, BTK, and TAK1 and determine the most suitable and effective protein target for the MCL.

Nine known inhibitors for MMP9, 24 for proteasome, 15 for BTK and 14 for TAK1 were screened. SB-3CT (PubChem ID 9883002), oprozomib (PubChem ID 25067547), zanubrutinib (PubChem ID 135565884) and TAK1 inhibitor (PubChem ID 66760355) were recognized as drugs with high binding capacity with their respective protein receptors. 41, 72, 102 and 3 virtual screened compounds were obtained after the similarity search with compound (PubChem ID102173753), PubChem compound SCHEMBL15569297 (PubChem ID72374403), PubChem compound SCHEMBL17075298 (PubChem ID136970120) and compound CID 71814473 with best virtual screened compounds.

MMP9 inhibitors show commendable affinity and good interaction profile of compound holding PubChem ID102173753 over the most effective established inhibitor SB-3CT. The pharmacophore study of the best virtual screened compound reveals its high efficacy based on various interactions. The virtual screened compound's better affinity with the target MMP9 protein was deduced using toxicity and integration profile studies.

Based on the ADMET profile, the compound (PubChem ID 102173753) could be a potent drug for MCL treatment. Similar to the established SB-3CT, the compound was non-toxic with LD50 values for both the compounds lying in the same range.

COVID-19 is caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which belongs to the genus Betacoronavirus (β-CoVs), which is of greatest clinical importance since it contains many other viruses that cause respiratory disease in humans, including OC43, HKU1, SARS-CoV, and MERS. The spike (S) glycoprotein of β-CoVs is a key virulence factor in determining disease pathogenesis and host tropism, and it also mediates virus binding to the host's receptors to allow viral entry into host cells, i.e., the first step in virus lifecycle. Viral entry inhibitors are considered promising putative drugs for COVID-19. Herein, we mined the biomedical literature for viral entry inhibitors of other coronaviruses, with special emphasis on β-CoVs entry inhibitors. We also outlined the structural features of SARS-CoV-2 S protein and how it differs from other β-CoVs to better understand the structural determinants of S protein binding to its human receptor (ACE2). This review highlighted several promising viral entry inhibitors as potential treatments for COVID-19.Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disorder. Although the pathological hallmarks of AD have been identified, the derived therapies cannot effectively slow down or stop disease progression; hence, it is likely that other pathogenic mechanisms are involved in AD pathogenesis. Intracellular calcium (Ca2+) dyshomeostasis has been consistently observed in AD patients and numerous AD models and may emerge prior to the development of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. Thus, intracellular Ca2+ disruptions are believed to play an important role in AD development and could serve as promising therapeutic intervention targets. One of the disrupted intracellular Ca2+ signaling pathways manifested in AD is attenuated storeoperated Ca2+ entry (SOCE). SOCE is an extracellular Ca2+ entry mechanism mainly triggered by intracellular Ca2+ store depletion. Maintaining normal SOCE function not only provides a means for the cell to replenish ER Ca2+ stores but also serves as a cellular signal that maintains normal neuronal functions, including excitability, neurogenesis, neurotransmission, synaptic plasticity, and gene expression. However, normal SOCE function is diminished in AD, resulting in disrupted neuronal spine stability and synaptic plasticity and the promotion of amyloidogenesis. Mounting evidence suggests that rectifying diminished SOCE in neurons may intervene with the progression of AD. In this review, the mechanisms of SOCE disruption and the associated pathogenic impacts on AD will be discussed. We will also highlight the potential therapeutic targets or approaches that may help ameliorate SOCE deficits for AD treatment.Alzheimer disease is the dominant form of elderly dementia. Today all clinical trials that target β-amyloid have failed to indicate that β-amyloid may not be a causative agent in AD pathogenesis. Thus there is a need to search for alternative ways to treat AD patients. Neuronal store-operated calcium entry is a fine-tuning mechanism that regulates intracellular Ca2+ content. Recent evidence suggests that store-operated calcium channels may be targeted with pharmacological agents in order to prevent synapse loss, recover long-term potentiation and change behavior. Current mini-review discusses basic chemical structures that modulate intracellular calcium dysbalance via targeting store-operated calcium channels and their applicability as anti-AD pharmacological agents.
