    Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD), a progressive degenerative disorder first identified by Alois Alzheimer in 1907, poses a significant public health challenge. Despite its prevalence and impact, there is currently no definitive ante mortem diagnosis for AD pathogenesis. By 2050, the United States may face a staggering 13.8 million AD patients. This review provides a concise summary of current AD biomarkers, available treatments, and potential future therapeutic approaches. The review begins by outlining existing drug targets and mechanisms in AD, along with a discussion of current treatment options. We explore various approaches targeting Amyloid β (Aβ), Tau Protein aggregation, Tau Kinases, Glycogen Synthase kinase-3β, CDK-5 inhibitors, Heat Shock Proteins (HSP), oxidative stress, inflammation, metals, Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) modulators, and Notch signaling. Additionally, we examine the historical use of Estradiol (E2) as an AD therapy, as well as the outcomes of Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) that evaluated antioxidants (e.g., vitamin E) and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids as alternative treatment options. Notably, positive effects of docosahexaenoic acid nutriment in older adults with cognitive impairment or AD are highlighted. Furthermore, this review offers insights into ongoing clinical trials and potential therapies, shedding light on the dynamic research landscape in AD treatment.

    Abstract Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the life-threatening infectious diseases with prehistoric origins and occurs in almost all habitable parts of the world. TB mainly affects the lungs, and its etiological agent is Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). In 2022, more than 10 million people were infected worldwide, and 1.3 million were children. The current study considered the in-silico and machine learning (ML) approaches to explore the potential anti-TB molecules from the SelleckChem database against Enoyl-Acyl Carrier Protein Reductase (InhA). Initially, the entire database of ∼ 119000 molecules was sorted out through drug-likeness. Further, the molecular docking study was conducted to reduce the chemical space. The standard TB drug molecule's binding energy was considered a threshold, and molecules found with lower affinity were removed for further analyses. Finally, the molecules were checked for the pharmacokinetic and toxicity studies, and compounds found to have acceptable pharmacokinetic parameters and were non-toxic were considered as final promising molecules for InhA. The above approach further evaluated five molecules for ML-based toxicity and synthetic accessibility assessment. Not a single molecule was found toxic and each of them was revealed as easy to synthesise. The complex between InhA and proposed and standard molecules was considered for molecular dynamics simulation. Several statistical parameters showed the stability between InhA and the proposed molecule. The high binding affinity was also found for each of the molecules towards InhA using the MM-GBSA approach. Hence, the above approaches and findings exposed the potentiality of the proposed molecules against InhA.

    Abstract Tuberculosis is a prominent aliment throughout the world and a leading cause of mortality among infectious diseases. Drug development for multi-drug resistance and reducing the current therapy time is the top priority. Mycobacterial membrane protein large 3 (MmpL3) is a promising target with high potential, however, it has not been explored to its greatest potential. It is a membrane transporter that translocates trehalose-monomycolate which is a precursor for the synthesis of mycolic acid that is essential for the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall and is pathogenic in nature. In this review, we have discussed the current development of MmpL3 inhibitors, different scaffolds, their derivatives, and their synthetic schemes and provide insight into the challenges in developing these inhibitors.

    Abstract To alleviate metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), enzalutamide, a non-steroidal antiandrogen, is employed. Following androgen deprivation therapy or anti-androgen treatment, compensatory mechanisms in prostate cancer have been identified, leading to increased expression and function of steroidal receptors. Comparative studies involving individuals with CRPC have demonstrated enzalutamide's superior efficacy compared to its predecessor, bicalutamide. Currently, there are four nonsteroidal antiandrogens approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, with two investigational medications undergoing clinical trials. Enzalutamide effectively slowed prostate cancer growth by preventing nuclear translocation and gene expression that are dependent on the AR, according to preclinical research. Its effectiveness in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer was supported by clinical trials like ARCHES, which also showed an improvement in radiographic progression-free survival with an acceptable safety profile. Resistance to enzalutamide can occur due to the F786L mutation. Recent research has shown that analogues of enzalutamide can overcome this resistance, enhancing anticancer activity and improving male survival rates. We will explore various enzalutamide analogues, including those with trifluoromethyl, trifluoromethoxy, diarylhydantoin, benzothiazole or benzoxazole, and 1-hydroxy-2,2,2-trifluoro-1-ethyl moieties, primarily used to address the resistance issue. Additionally, we will highlight the structural activity relationships of these analogues, which may enhance their antiproliferative effects and increase male survival rates. Notably, imidazolidine derivatives exhibit the most significant antiproliferative activity.

    Abstract There are thousands of compounds shown to interact with G-quadruplex DNA, yet very few which target i-motif (iM) DNA. Previous work showed that tobramycin can interact with iM- DNA, indicating the potential for sugar-molecules to target these structures. Computational approaches indicated that the sugar-containing natural products baicalin and geniposidic acid had potential to target iM-DNA. We assessed the DNA interacting properties of these compounds using FRET-based DNA melting and a fluorescence-based displacement assay using iM-DNA structures from the human telomere and the insulin linked polymorphic region (ILPR), as well as complementary G-quadruplex and double stranded DNA. Both baicalin and geniposidic acid show promise as iM-interacting compounds with potential for use in experiments into the structure and function of i-motif forming DNA sequences and present starting points for further synthetic development of these as probes for iM-DNA.

    Abstract The on-going coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused a very high number of infections and deaths around the globe. The absence of vaccine/drugs to counter COVID-19 has scrambled scientific communities to repurpose available medicines/vaccines. As the virus is known to mutate, using the whole genome sequences, the transmission dynamics and molecular evolutionary models were evaluated for South Asian countries to determine the evolutionary rate of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Phylogenetic analyses were done using the data available on National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). Different nucleotide substitution models and molecular evolutionary models were analyzed to see how SARS-CoV-2 was transmitted in the populations. Models for the viral 'S' and 'N' protein from selected strains were constructed, validated, and analyzed to determine the mutations and discover the potential therapeutics against this deadly viral disease. We found that the Hasegawa-Kishino-Yano (HKY) nucleotide substitution model was the best model with the lowest Bayesian information criterion (BIC) scores. Molecular clock RelTime analysis showed the evolutionary rate of SARS-CoV-2 substitutions in the genome was at 95% confidence interval, and heterogeneity was observed. Several mutations in the viral S-protein were found with one in the receptor-binding domain concerning SARS-CoV-2/Wuhan-1/S-Protein. Nucleocapsid protein also showed mutations in the strains from India and Sri Lanka. Our analysis suggests that SARS-CoV-2 is evolving at a diverse rate. The mutation leading to substitution in the nucleotide sequence occurred in the genome during the transmission of COVID-19 among individuals in the South Asian countries.

    Abstract Enoyl acyl carrier protein reductase (InhA) is a key enzyme involved in fatty acid synthesis mainly mycolic acid biosynthesis that is a part of NADH dependent acyl carrier protein reductase family. The aim of the present literature is to underline the different scaffolds or enzyme inhibitors that inhibit mycolic acid biosynthesis mainly cell wall synthesis by inhibiting enzyme InhA. Various scaffolds were identified based on the screening technologies like high throughput screening, encoded library technology, fragment-based screening. The compounds studied include indirect inhibitors (Isoniazid, Ethionamide, Prothionamide) and direct inhibitors (Triclosan/Diphenyl ethers, Pyrrolidine Carboxamides, Pyrroles, Acetamides, Thiadiazoles, Triazoles) with better efficacy against drug resistance. Out of the several scaffolds studied, pyrrolidine carboxamides were found to be the best molecules targeting InhA having good bioavailability properties and better MIC. This review provides with a detailed information, analysis, structure activity relationship and useful insight on various scaffolds as InhA inhibitors.
