    Abstract Monkeypox virus (MPXV) outbreak in non-endemic countries is a worldwide public health emergency. An enveloped double-stranded DNA virus belongs to the genus Orth poxvirus. A viral zoonotic infection known as monkeypox has been a serious risk to public health, especially in Africa. However, it has recently spread to other continents, so it might soon become a worldwide problem. There is an increased risk of transmission of the virus because there is a lack of effective treatment that cures the disease. To stop the multi-country outbreak from spreading, it is important to discover effective medications urgently. The objective of the current study is to swiftly find new treatments for the monkeypox virus using advanced computational approaches. By investigating five potential MPXV targets (DNA ligase, Palmytilated Extracellular Enveloped Virus (EEV) membrane protein, Scaffold protein D13, Thymidylate Kinase, and Viral core cysteine proteinase), this research was carried out using cutting-edge computational techniques against human monkeypox virus infection. Here we present the accurate 3D structures and their binding cavities of the selected targets with higher confidence using AlphaFold 2 and SiteMap analysis. Molecular docking and MD simulation analysis revealed the top five potential lead compounds with higher binding affinity and stability toward selected targets. Binding free energy calculations and other essential dynamics analysis supports the finding. The selected lead compounds utilizing virtual screening and drug repurposing approach reported in this study are beneficial for medical scientists and experimental biologists in drug development for the treatment of human MPXV.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

    Abstract Flavanone compounds are naturally occurring phytochemicals present in most of citrus fruits reported to be a potential anticancer moiety as it majorly participates in the inhibition of the cell cycle, apoptosis, and angiogenesis. Because of poor bioavailability, natural flavanones were not used as therapeutic targets so flavanone congeners were prepared by modifying at B-functional group using compound libraries such as PubChem Database. Cyclin-dependent kinase is primarily activating the cell cycle and potentiating the M phase, in order to control the cell cycle in cancer cyclin-dependent pathway was targeted and potential cyclin D/CDK4 receptor protein was retrieved from Protein Data Bank (PDBID:2W9Z). The binding site was determined using FlexX docking. Flavanone and its congeners were docked against the 2W9Z receptor protein with the docking software FlexX. For validation of docking results, molecular dynamics simulations of the best-fitting molecule were carried out using Desmond Package. Noncovalent interactions like hydrogen bonds, electrostatic interaction, and Van der walls potentials for stable conformations were calculated. Thus, upon docking and molecular dynamics studies, we discovered the potential flavanone derivatives such as Flavanone 20, Flavanone 25, and Flavanone 29, will become a potential drug target in controlling cell cycle arrest and may become a futuristic candidate in targeting cancer.

    Abstract Tropical calcific pancreatitis (TCP) is a juvenile form of non-alcoholic chronic pancreatitis seen exclusively in tropical countries. The disease poses a high risk of complications, including pancreatic diabetes and cancer, leading to significant mortality due to poor diagnosis and ineffective treatments. This study employed whole exome sequencing (WES) of 5 TCP patient samples to identify genetic variants associated with TCP. Advanced computational techniques were used to gain atomic-level insights into disease progression, including microsecond-scale long MD simulations and essential dynamics.

    Abstract Background: Breast cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancer types among women worldwide. Cytochrome P450 aromatase (CYP19A1) is an enzyme in vertebrates that selectively catalyzes the biosynthesis of estrogens from androgenic precursors. Researchers have increasingly focused on developing non-steroidal aromatase inhibitors (NSAIs) for their potential clinical use, avoiding steroidal side effects.
    Objectives: The objective of the present work is to search for potential lead compounds from the ZINC database through various in silico approaches.
    Methods: In the present study, compounds from the ZINC database were initially screened through receptor independent-based pharmacophore virtual screening. These screened molecules were subjected to several assessments, such as Lipinski rule of 5, SMART filtration, ADME prediction using SwissADME and lead optimization. Molecular docking was further applied to study the interaction of the filtered compounds with the active site of aromatase. Finally, the obtained hit compounds, consequently represented to be ideal lead candidates, were escalated to the MD simulations.
    Results: The results indicated that the lead compounds might be potential anti-aromatase drug candidate.
    Conclusion: The findings provided a valuable approach in developing novel anti-aromatase inhibitors for the treatment of ER+ breast cancer.

    Abstract Aurora kinase is a group of enzymes that belongs to a serine-threonine family and plays a critical role in cellular division. Aurora Kinase A is overexpressed and distributed beyond the nucleus and is involved in tumorigenesis. Flavones are a class of flavonoids that are present in plants that show anticancer activity. Similar compounds of 2'Fluoroflavones are retrieved from the PubChem database. Then drug-like filters viz. REOS and PAINS were applied to remove toxic compounds using Canvas software, resulting in 3882 compounds being subjected to Glide docking with Aurora kinase A. The lead compounds were selected on the merit of hydrogen bonding, salt bridge, as well as pi-pi interactions, 4-(6-Fluoro-4-oxychromen-2yl) benzoic acid, has been found one of the best molecules from docking studies. The binding mode of the lead compound with AURKA reveals that the amino acid residues viz, Lys162, Ala213, and His280 are more important for binding with the binding affinity of -11.760 kcal/mol. The molecular dynamics simulations of 100 ns were done, which shows the mean RMSD value of 1.77 Å for all 3 complexes of the protein and Fluoroflavone and its analogs. This shows that Fluoroflavone and its 2 best analogs are tightly attached to the active sites and thus have conformational stability. Our finding suggests that 4-(6-fluoro-4-oxochromen-2-yl)benzoic acid and 4-(4-Oxochromen-2-yl)benzoate can be further used

    Abstract Background: Flavanone compounds and their related derivatives are reported in controlling cell cycle, angiogenesis, and metastasis. Phosphoinositide 3-kinases is a major drug target.
    Methods: Crystalize structure of Phosphoinositide 3-kinases-Akt complex obtained from Protein Data Bank (PDBID: 3CQW) was selected as receptor protein and the binding site has been identified with PDBSum Database. Flavanone and its derivatives were retrieved using freely available existing drug databases like Drug Bank, Zinc, and PubChem. New derivatives were modified by altering the flavanone at Beta ring position. This modification would help in maintaining stable structural conformation and retaining better anticancer activity. Retrieved Flavanone derivatives from the drug database were docked against 3CQW Protein with the advanced docking tool FlexX. MD simulations of the best molecule were performed with the Desmond package by calculating nonbonding interactions such as electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bond stable and favorable conformations were calculated.
    Results: These interaction studies would help identify new potential drug candidates with the help of computer-aided drug designing techniques.
    Conclusion: Natural chemicals have received a lot of attention because of their vast range of applications in human health and disease prevention without creating any negative side effects. Molecular docking is an essential approach for drug development since it allows for effective screening of potential therapeutics in a short time. We hypothesized in this paper that natural flavanone and its derivatives may be effective as Akt-1 inhibitors.
