Despite great advances in cancer identification and treatment, malignancies remain the primary cause of high morbidity mortality worldwide. The drawbacks conventional chemotherapy, such as severe toxicity, lack specificity related to actively dividing cells, resistance, can warrant urgent need develop an alternative approach treat this disease. To overcome drawbacks, researchers are attempting deliver drugs site action (targeted delivery) or identify that specifically target tumor cells. In regard, highly cationic amphipathic antimicrobial peptides attracting attention due their potent anticancer activity, low cost manufacture, and, most critically, tumor-targeting activity. A growing number documents have shown some mentioned exhibited a broad spectrum cytotoxic activity against cells but not normal mammalian entitled peptides. Due solubility, strong penetration, selectivity, ability be used alone conjunction with other medications, potential become very successful treatments future. This review provided overview studies concerning peptide classification, modes action, also summarized developed for targeting different types malignancies. role silico methods artificial intelligence design discovery was briefly explained. Additionally, current addressed challenges utilizing therapy highlighted currently undergoing clinical trials.

Astrocytes are the major glial cells in human brain and provide crucial metabolic trophic support to neurons. The amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) alter morphological functional properties of astrocytes induce inflammation calcium dysregulation, contributing Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. Recent studies highlight role Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4/nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer activated B (NF-κB) signaling inflammation. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated due Aβ, apoptosis worsening AD progression. Astrocytic cell surface receptors, such as purinergic receptors (P2Y1 P2Y2), metabotropic glutamate (mGLUR)5, α7 nicotinic acetylcholine (α7nAChR), N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDARs), have been suggested interact with inositol trisphosphate (IP3R) on endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+ movement from ER cytoplasm, causing dysregulation. We found that citrus flavonoid nobiletin (NOB) protected primary Aβ42-induced cytotoxicity inhibited TLR4/NF-κB rat astrocytes. NOB was regulate ROS levels through Keap1-Nrf2 pathway. P2Y1, P2Y2, mGLUR5, α7nAChR, NMDARs induced intracellular by activating IP3R regulated them, thereby regulating levels. Molecular docking analysis revealed a possible interaction between regulation. Furthermore, RNA sequencing various NOB-mediated biological pathways, AD-presenilin, AD-amyloid secretase, Wnt pathway, suggesting neuroprotective roles NOB.
