Pharmacological Applications of Nrf2 Inhibitors as Potential Antineoplastic Drugs

PARP1 in Carcinomas and PARP1 Inhibitors as Antineoplastic Drugs

Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1), the best-studied isoform of the nuclear enzyme PARP family, plays a pivotal role in cellular biological processes, such as DNA repair, gene transcription, and so on. PARP1 has been found to be overexpressed in various carcinomas. These all indicate the clinical potential of PARP1 as a therapeutic target of human malignancies. Additionally, multiple precli...

Virtual Screening of CDK9 Inhibitors as Potential Anti Cancer Drugs

Cell cycle inhibition is important hallmark of anti cancer research. CDKs are divided into two types based on their Cell cycle controlling and transcriptional control. CDK 9, a transcriptional regulator serves as potential drug target. Only few drugs are under clinical trials phase 1/2/3 of CDK 9 inhibitory potential. 3BLR (pdb id) is used as docking target. Virtual screening is carried out bas...
