An increased expression of UBE2C (Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2C) has been associated with high tumor grade and cancer progression. It is an essential indicator of the mitotic destruction events. Our microarray study on cervical cancers showed UBE2C to be over expressed in cervical cancer. Subsequent studies from our laboratory, showed that inhibition of UBE2C can enhance radiation and chemos...

MOTIVATION Human serum albumin (HSA), the most abundant plasma protein is well known for its extraordinary binding capacity for both endogenous and exogenous substances, including a wide range of drugs. Interaction with the two principal binding sites of HSA in subdomain IIA (site 1) and in subdomain IIIA (site 2) controls the free, active concentration of a drug, provides a reservoir for a lon...

ADME-Tox properties are very important in pharmaceutical research, determining the fate of many molecules in the drug design sequence. Knowledge of ADME-Tox properties in the earliest stages of drug design is therefore highly desirable. The aim of this investigation is to construct low throughput in silico QSAR models in which ADME-Tox properties of single compounds are predicted with high accu...

Background: Cancer is one of the biggest health problems worldwide, with lung cancer as first rank in number new cases and deaths. Non-small cell carcinoma (NSCLC) a type that accounts for about 85% all cases. Previous research identified role epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) most suitable target to treat NSCLC. This study aims identify potential compounds derived from mangrove plants ag...

Theobroma cacao is an economically important tropical-fruit tree where chocolate obtained, and it used as traditional medicine worldwide against several diseases. In the present study, in vivo model computational biology approaches were to elucidate potential mechanisms of T. in treatment diarrhea. The antidiarrheal intestinal motility activity was conducted using animal induce...

A series of quinazolin-4(3H)-one derivatives were synthesised and evaluated for their cytotoxicity against human Caucasian breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) ovarian carcinoma (A2780) cell lines. Cytotoxicity the most tested compounds was 2- to 30-fold more than positive control lapatinib (IC50 2j = 3.79 ± 0.96; 3j 0.20 0.02; 5.9 0.74) MCF7 lines except two 2 b 15.72 0.07 2e 14.88 0.99). On other ha...

Abstract: Aim: LK (B-lymphocyte kinase) is a protein from the family SRC (Proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase), an important cell signaling molecule that influences cellular response. The BLK kinase has been potential target for cancer therapy. As result, this could be initial step toward development of novel inhibitors to fight cancer. Materials and Methods: A homology model human tyrosine ...

Introduction: Present leishmaniasis treatment regimen has many limitations including severe adverse effects, toxicity, and Leishmania strains resistance. In the present study, objective is to perform QSAR, molecular docking ADME prediction studies on benzimidazolylchalcones in order select an antileishmanial drug candidate.Materials & methods: QSAR models were performed 12 with activities a...

Cannabis sativa L. (cannabis) is a medicinal plant and has been used for many years the treatment of epilepsy (EP), which common neurological disease. This study aimed to investigate mechanism cannabis action in EP, with emphasis on leading compounds, targets pathways. In this study, systematic pharmacology bioinformatics approaches were employed identify active ingredients potential treating E...
