    Abstract Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) is a promising drug target for the discovery of cancer chemotherapeutics. EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors become resistant due to mutation after a certain period of clinical application. The objective of the present study is to identify edible mushrooms as EGFR inhibitors. Structure-based VS of mushroom compounds using Autodock Vina in PyRx, re-docking of top scored hits using Autodock 4.2 were performed. Molecular dynamics (MD) was carried out with top hits to investigate the dynamic nature of the active site followed by MMPBSA binding energy calculation and ADME study. Analysis of MD results revealed the stability of Ag_76, Ag_77, Ag_88 and Ag_340 in the active site of EGFR as potential binders. Comparison of docking and MD results with known inhibitors also claimed the effectiveness of these hits. The sources of these potential hits are

    Abstract Cancer is one of the life-threatening diseases and the second leading cause of death in the world. The estrogen receptor can be considered as one of the significant drug targets for cancer. A large number of clinically used anticancer drugs were identified from phytochemicals. Multiple literatures suggested that extracts of Datura sp. significantly inhibit estrogen receptors associated with human cancer. In the present study, all reported natural products present in Datura sp. were subjected to molecular docking against estrogen receptors. The top hits were shortlisted based on binding orientation and docking score and subjected to molecular dynamics simulation to explore the conformational stability followed by binding energy calculation. The ligand [(1S,5R)-8-Methyl-8-Azabicyclo [3.2.1] Octan-3-yl] (2R)-3-Hydroxy-2-Phenylpropanoate depicts highly acceptable MD simulations outcomes and drug-likeness profile. Knowledge-based de novo design and similar ligand screening were executed using the structural information. The designed ligand DL-50 exhibited satisfactory binding, drug-likeness profile, and well-accepted ADMET profile followed by easy synthetic accessibility which further requires experimental validation.

    Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has created huge social, economic and human health crises globally. Discovery of specific drugs has become a new challenge to the researcher. Structure-based virtual-screening of our in-house databank containing1102 phytochemicals of Zingiberaceae family was performed with main protease(Mᵖʳᵒ), a crucial enzyme of SARS-CoV-2. Rigorous docking and ADME study of top-scored twenty hits resulted from VS was performed. Then 100 ns molecular dynamics followed by MMPBSA binding free energy(ΔGbᵢₙd) calculation of A280 and KZ133 was also performed. These two hits showed good interactions with crucial amino acid residues of Mᵖʳᵒ HIS-41 and CYS-145, excellent ADME properties, fair ΔGbᵢₙd values (> ‒188.03 kj/mol), and average protein-ligand complex RMSD < apo-protein RMSD. Therefore, the seed extracts of Alpinia blepharocalyx and rhizome extracts Kaempferia angustifolia containing A280 and KZ133, respectively, may be useful against COVID-19 after the proper biological screening. These two novel scaffolds could be exploited as potent SARS-CoV-2-Mᵖʳᵒ inhibitors.

    Abstract Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) is a protein kinase containing threonine or serine amino acid residues. GSK-3 was first discovered in 1980 as a regulatory protein kinase, Glycogen synthase (GS) enzyme, which is responsible for the conversion of glycogen from glucose with the help of uridine diphosphate glucose (UDP-Glu) residue. GSK-3 has two isoforms present in human beings, namely GSK-3 α (serine residue at 21 position) and GSK-3 β (serine residue at 9 position). GSK-3 has two terminals, namely C- terminal and N- terminal. C-terminal of GSK-3 resembles α- helix conformation, which acts as an activator loop and is responsible for positioning residues in ATP binding and catalysis of substrates. On the other hand, the N- terminal of GSK-3 resembles β- strand conformation, which acts as an inhibitory loop; having a tyrosine molecule at 216 positions, it is essential for the complete GSK-3 activity. N- terminal of GSK-3 is responsible for ATP binding activity and exhibits various biological activities like cell signaling, gene induction following activation of T cell receptor, apoptosis, protein translation, glycogen metabolism, and inflammatory process. Activation of GSK-3 leads to pro-inflammatory actions, i.e. an increase in the binding activity of NF-kB (pro-inflammatory genes), increase in the transactivation activity of NF-kB, increase in the phosphorylation of p105, and a decrease in the transactivation activity of C/EBPβ (anti- inflammatory genes), resulting in a large number of prevalent diseases such as diabetes, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, psychiatric diseases, mood disorders, etc. Glycogen synthase kinase inhibitors (GSK-3 inhibitors) are various chemotypes and have different mechanisms of actions. They are obtained from different sources such as natural products, synthetic ATP as well as non-ATP competitive inhibitors along with substrate-competitive inhibitors. The inhibitors of GSK3 have proven to possess very potent anti-inflammatory action. GSK-3 inhibitors are useful for treating different prevalent disorders, such as neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, hyperglycemia, cancer disease, and mood disorders like depression, etc. In this review, we have highlighted the evidence regarding the description and types of GSK, inflammation process, and the factors affecting inflammation, the relationship between inflammation and GSK, GSK3 inhibitors, and finally, the impact of various natural as well as synthetic GSK3 inhibitors having anti-inflammatory activity.

    Abstract Background: Metastasis has been a cause of the poor prognosis and cancer relapse of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients. The metastatic nature of TNBC is contributed by the breast cancer stem cells (CSCs) which have been implicated in tumorigenesis. Higher expression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in breast CSCs has been used as a molecular target for breast cancer therapeutics. Thus, it necessitates the design and generation of efficacious EGFR inhibitors to target the downstream signaling associated with the cellular proliferation and tumorigenesis of breast cancer.
    Aim: To generate efficacious EGFR inhibitors that can potentiate the chemotherapeutic-mediated mitigation of breast cancer tumorigenesis.
    Methods and results: We identified small molecule EGFR inhibitors using molecular docking studies. In-vitro screening of the compounds was undertaken to identify the cytotoxicity profile of the small-molecule EGFR inhibitors followed by evaluation of the non-cytotoxic compounds in modulating the doxorubicin-induced migration, in-vitro tumorigenesis potential, and their effect on the pro-apoptotic genes' and protein markers' expression in TNBC cells. Compound 1e potentiated the doxorubicin-mediated inhibitory effect on proliferation, migration, in-vitro tumorigenesis capacity, and induction of apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 cells, and in the sorted CD24
    Conclusion: Thus, the study suggests that EGFR inhibition-mediated sensitization of the aggressive and metastatic breast CSCs in TNBCs toward chemotherapeutics may reduce the relapse of the disease.

    Abstract Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is highly pathogenic to humans and has created health care threats worldwide. This urgent situation has focused the researchers worldwide towards the development of novel vaccine or small molecule therapeutics for SARS-CoV-2. Although several vaccines have already been discovered and are in use for the masses, no therapeutic medication has yet been approved by FDA for the treatment of COVID-19. Keeping this in view, in the present study, we have identified promising hits against the main protease (M
