    Abstract Elevated circulating glucose level due to β-cell dysfunction has been a key marker of Type-II diabetes. Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) has been recognized as an enzyme involved in the control of glycogen metabolism. Consequently, inhibitors of GSK-3 have been explored for anti-diabetic effects in vitro and in animal models. Further, the mechanisms governing the regulation of this enzyme have been elucidated by means of a combination of structural and cellular biological investigations. This review article examines the structural analysis of GSK-3 as well as molecular modeling reports from numerous researchers in the context of the design and development of GSK-3 inhibitors. This article centers on the signaling pathway of GSK-3 relevant to its potential as a target for diabetes and discusses advancements till date on different molecular modification approaches used by researchers in the development of novel GSK-3 inhibitors as potential therapeutics for the treatment of Type II diabetes.

    Abstract The SARS-CoV-2 virus has been identified as a causative agent for COVID-19 pandemic. About more than 6.3 million fatalities have been attributed to COVID-19 worldwide to date. Finding a viable cure for the illness is urgently needed in light of the present pandemic. The prominence of main protease in the life cycle of virus shapes the main protease as a viable target for design and development of antiviral agents to combat COVID-19. The current study presents the fragment linking strategy to design the novel Mpro inhibitors for COVID-19. A total of 293,451 fragments from diversified libraries have been screened for their binding affinity towards Mpro enzyme. The best 1600 fragment hits were subjected to fragment joining to achieve 100 new molecules using Schrödinger software. The resulting molecules were further screened for their Mpro binding affinity, ADMET, and drug-likeness features. The best 13 molecules were selected, and the first 6 compounds were investigated for their ligand-receptor complex stability through a molecular dynamics study using GROMACS software. The resulting molecules have the potential to be further evaluated for COVID-19 drug discovery.

    Abstract Historically, plants have been sought after as bio-factories for the production of diverse chemical compounds that offer a multitude of possibilities to cure diseases. To combat the current pandemic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), plant-based natural compounds are explored for their potential to inhibit the SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2), the cause of COVID-19. The present study is aimed at the investigation of antiviral action of several groups of phytoconstituents against SARS-CoV-2 using a molecular docking approach to inhibit Main Protease (Mpro) (PDB code: 6LU7) and spike (S) glycoprotein receptor binding domain (RBD) to ACE2 (PDB code: 6M0J) of SARS-CoV-2. For binding affinity evaluation, the docking scores were calculated using the Extra Precision (XP) protocol of the Glide docking module of Maestro. CovDock was also used to investigate covalent docking. The OPLS3e force field was used in simulations. The docking score was calculated by preferring the conformation of the ligand that has the lowest binding free energy (best pose). The results are indicative of better potential of solanine, acetoside, and rutin, as Mpro and spike glycoprotein RBD dual inhibitors. Acetoside and curcumin were found to inhibit Mpro covalently. Curcumin also possessed all the physicochemical and pharmacokinetic parameters in the range. Thus, phytochemicals like solanine, acetoside, rutin, and curcumin hold potential to be developed as treatment options against COVID-19.

    Abstract Cancer is one of the most prevalent diseases and affects a large proportion of the population worldwide. Conventional treatments in the management include chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery. Although being well-accepted, they have many lacunas in the form of severe side effect resulting from lack of targeted delivery. Antibody biopolymer conjugates are a novel method which is an add-on to older methods of immunization. It is used in various diseases and disorders. It ensures the targeted delivery of molecules to increase its efficacy and reduce unwanted effects of the molecule/drug to normal cells. It shows miraculous results in the treatment and management of several cancers even in advanced stages. Herein, we present the chemistry between biopolymer and antibody, their effects on cancer as well as the basic differences between antibody-drug conjugates and antibody-biopolymer conjugates.

    Abstract Diabetes is a widespread epidemic that includes a number of comorbid conditions that greatly increase the chance of acquiring other chronic illnesses. Every year, there are significantly more people with diabetes because of the rise in type-2 diabetes prevalence. The primary causes of illness and mortality worldwide are, among these, hyperglycemia and its comorbidities. There has been a lot of interest in the creation of peptide-based hydrogels as a potentially effective platform for the treatment of diabetes and its consequences. Here, we emphasize the use of self-assembled hydrogel formulations and their unique potential for the treatment/management of type-2 diabetes and its consequences. (i.e., wounds). Key aspects covered include the characteristics of self-assembled peptide hydrogels, methods for their preparation, and their pre-clinical and clinical applications in addressing metabolic disorders such as type-2 diabetes.

    Abstract A significant portion of brain-tumor patients suffer from 'brain-tumor-related epilepsy (BTE)' which results in depression, anxiety and hampered quality of life. Conventional anti-epileptic drugs indicate negative interaction with other drugs augmenting the poor outcome of overall therapy. Levetiracetam (LVM) has evidenced effectiveness for BTE but its hydrophilicity restricts the passage into blood-brain barrier. The majority of lipid nanoparticles fails to load hydrophilic drug sufficiently. Therefore, lipid-drug conjugates (LDC) were synthesized using stearic acid via amide bond formation confirmed by FTIR and NMR. The nanoparticles of synthesized LDC were prepared by solvent injection method followed by functionalization with Apolipoprotein E3 (ApoE3@LDC-NP). The nanoparticles were characterized by DSC, XRD, particle size (131.6 ± 1.24 nm), zeta potential (-15.6 ± 0.09 mV), and for storage stability. In-vitro release study indicated initial burst release of 20 ± 0.63 % followed by sustained release up to 30 h (66 ± 1.40 %) for ApoE3@LDC-NP. The cell-line study on HEK293 indicated no significant cytotoxic effect and greater cell uptake through U87MG cell line. The pharmacokinetic and bio-distribution study indicated 2.5-fold greater brain-targeting of ApoE3@LDC-NP as compared to LVM solution. It proved safe in the haemolysis study and exhibited the absence of tissue necrosis. Thus, ApoE3@LDC-NP might be a promising approach for effective brain-targeting of LVM for improved clinical response in BTE.

    Abstract The Corona virus Disease (COVID-19) is caused because of novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) pathogen detected in China for the first time, and from there it spread across the globe creating a worldwide pandemic of severe respiratory complications. The virus requires structural and non-structural proteins for its multiplication that are produced from polyproteins obtained by translation of its genomic RNA. These polyproteins are converted into structural and non-structural proteins mainly by the main protease (Mpro). A systematic screening of a drug library (having drugs and diagnostic agents which are approved by FDA or other world authorities) and the Asinex BioDesign library was carried out using pharmacophore and sequential conformational precision level filters using the Schrodinger Suite. From the screening of approved drug library, three antiviral agents ritonavir, nelfinavir and saquinavir were predicted to be the most potent Mpro inhibitors. Apart from these pralmorelin, iodixanol and iotrolan were also identified from the systematic screening. As iodixanol and iotrolan carry some limitations, structural modifications in them could lead to stable and safer antiviral agents. Screenings of Asinex BioDesign library resulted in 20 molecules exhibiting promising interactions with the target protein Mpro. They can broadly be categorized into four classes based on the nature of the scaffold, viz. disubstituted pyrazoles, cyclic amides, pyrrolidine-based compounds and miscellaneous derivatives. These could be used as potential molecules or hits for further drug development to obtain clinically useful therapeutic agents for the treatment of COVID-19.

    Abstract The inadequate clinical efficacy of the present anti-Alzheimer's disease (AD) drugs and their low impact on the progression of Alzheimer's disease in patients have revised the research focus from single targets to multitarget-directed ligands. A novel series of substituted triazinoindole derivatives were obtained by introducing various substituents on the indole ring for the development of multitarget-directed ligands as anti-AD agents. The experimental data indicated that some of these compounds exhibited significant anti-AD properties. Among them, 8-(piperidin-1-yl)-
