    Abstract Hispidin was initially discovered in basidiomycete Inonotus hispidus (Bull.) P. Karst and this extraordinary compound possesses immense potency and can be extracted from the wild mushroom through specialized bioreactor cultivation techniques. In our study, we isolated it from Inonotus hispidus (Bull.) P. Karst., with a yield of 3.6 %. We identified and characterized hispidin through the implementation of spectroscopic techniques such as FTIR, NMR, and MS. Additionally, we utilized Thermogravimetric Analysis for thermal characterization of the compound. Computational studies based on DFT were performed to investigate the molecular structure, electronic properties, and chemical reactivity of hispidin. PASS analysis for hispidin demonstrated that 19 of them are anti-neoplastic activities. The Pharmacology prediction of hispidin confirm that it is not toxic, non-carcinogenesis with a good human intestinal absorption. The effect of hispidin on the viability of bone cancer cells was evaluated by MTT assay. The results showed that hispidin significantly reduced SaoS2 cell viability in a dose-dependent manner. Molecular docking was carried out using five targets related to bone cancer to determine the interactions between hispidin and the studied proteins. The results demonstrate that hispidin is a good inhibitor for the five targets. Dynamic simulation shows a good stability of the complex hispidin-protein.

    Abstract There is a daunting public health emergency due to the emergence and rapid global spread of the new omicron variants of SARS-CoV-2. The variants differ in many characteristics, such as transmissibility, antigenicity and the immune system of the human hosts' shifting responses. This change in characteristics raises concern, as it leads to unknown consequences and also raises doubts about the efficacy of the currently available vaccines. As of March 2022, there are five variants of SARS-CoV-2 disseminating: the alpha, the beta, the gamma, the delta and the omicron variant. The omicron variant has more than 30 mutations on the spike protein, which is used by the virus to enter the host cell and is also used as a target for the vaccines. In this work, we studied the possible anti-COVID-19 effect of two molecules by molecular docking using Autodock Vina and molecular dynamic simulations using Gromacs 2020 software. We docked amoxicillin and clavulanate to the main protease (M

    Abstract Background and objective: Side effects of some drugs may be useful in certain cases. In this work, we studied the inhibitory effects on Lipases of some medications as: Folic Acid which is taken by pregnant women, Colchicine and Febuxostat which is used as treatment of gout disease. These cases are linked to obesity, where women (BMI ≥ 30) have twice higher odds of having an NTDaffected pregnancy than the normal weight women, and the Gout disease frequently occurs in combination of a Metabolic syndrome. The risk of gout increases with the increase of the mass index. In silico studies were aimed to determine the mechanism of inhibition and different interactions for two enzymes: Candida rugosa lipase and human pancreatic lipase.
    Methods: In the first part of this study, we studied the inhibition activity of these medications on lipase activity of Candida rugosa in vitro. Autodock vina was used for molecular docking with 50 runs and 1000 obtained solutions. The saved interactions were with His449 and Ser209 for the three molecules.
    Results: The results show that these drugs have an important inhibition activity with IC50 values 0.64 mg/ml for Folic acid and 0.66 mg/ml for Febuxostat. The results of in silico show competitive, Noncompetitive and uncompetitive inhibition for folic acid, febuxostat and colchicine respectively for two enzymes with different repetition ratios of hydrogen bonds.
    Conclusion: These observations support a higher intake of dietary folate, and febuxostat for losing weight to decrease NTD risk and prevent hyperuricemia and recurrent gout attacks.

    Abstract Background: 2019-nCoVis, a novel coronavirus was isolated and identified in 2019 in the city of Wuhan, China. On February 17, 2020 and according to the World Health Organization, 71, 429 confirmed cases worldwide were identified, among them 2162 new cases were recorded in the last 24 hours. One month later, the confirmed cases jumped to 179111, with 11525 new cases in the last 24 hours, with 7426 total deaths. No drug or vaccine is present at the moment for human and animal coronavirus.
    Methods: The inhibition of 3CL hydrolase enzyme provides a promising therapeutic principle for developing treatments against CoViD-19. The 3CLpro (Mpro) is known for involving in counteracting the host innate immune response.
    Results: This work presents the inhibitory effect of some natural compounds against 3CL hydrolase enzyme, and explains the main interactions in inhibitor-enzyme complex. Molecular docking study was carried out using Autodock Vina. By screening several molecules, we identified three candidate agents that inhibit the main protease of coronavirus. Hispidin, lepidine E, and folic acid are bound tightly in the enzyme, therefore strong hydrogen bonds have been formed (1.69-1.80Å) with the active site residues.
    Conclusion: This study provides a possible therapeutic strategy for CoViD-19.

    Abstract Objective: The present study is carried out to screen the anticholinesterase effect of the total alkaloids of L. sativum seeds and other plants, and studied the ability of Lepidine B & E to inhibit AChE, BuChE, BACE, and MAGL. Hence, determining the main interactions in the inhibitorenzyme complex.
    Methods: Inhibitory effect of Lepidium sativum, Juniperus phoenicea and Juniperus oxycedrus extracts on acetylcholinesterase using the Ellman method was investigated with Donepezil as the positive control. A molecular docking study is achieved using Autodock Vina. The structures of target molecules Lepidine B & E and the four enzymes were obtained from the PubChem database and Protein databank.
    Results: Alkaloidal extract of Lepidium sativum and ethyl acetate extracts of Juniperus phoenicea and Juniperus oxycedrus exhibit a strong acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity with IC
    Conclusion: Our current study indicates that Lepidine B & E are promising anti-AD drugs and might become drug candidates to prevent Alzheimer's disease due to their multiple roles as potent inhibitors for AChE, BuChE, BACE, and MAGL. Indeed, they could inhibit Aβ fibrillogenesis. No previous results about the inhibitory effect of Lepidine B & E on the AChE, BuChE, β secretase, and monoacylglycerol lipase were reported.
