The mpox (previously monkeypox) outbreak in more than 100 non-endemic countries 2022 posed a serious global health concern. Mpox is emerging as public threat from seemingly neglected disease. A42R profilin-like protein virus (PDB ID: 4QWO) could be preferred target lead. binding affinity of commonly used drugs/mAbs (tecovirimat, brincidofovir, cidofovir) for was examined silico through molecular docking. Further, the results were compared with those phytochemicals curcumin, rutin, and theaflavin. Tecovirimat (−7.31 kcal/mol, IC50 = 4.39 µM) theaflavin (−6.99 7.54 had highest affinities. Molecular dynamics simulation theaflavin–4QWO complex performed to ascertain stability ligand–protein interactions natural charge, electrostatic potential, frontier orbital analyses. predicted QSAR pharmacokinetic properties all compounds evaluated find suitable candidate designing developing new drugs. log P values brincidofovir tecovirimat higher other drugs study. Theaflavin an impressive 4.77, which hints at its high biological activity. findings recommend further vitro experimental validation develop potential low-cost therapies.

Over the centuries, cancer has been considered one of significant health threats. It holds position in list deadliest diseases over globe. In women, breast is most common among many cancers and second all world, while lung first. Cyclin-dependent kinase 8 (CDK8) identified as a critical oncogenic driver that found associated with tumor progression. Flavonoids were virtually screened against CDK8 using molecular docking, drug-likeness, ADMET prediction, dynamics (MD) simulation approach to determine potential flavonoid structure CDK8. The results indicated ZINC000005854718 showed highest negative binding affinity -10.7 kcal/mol targeted protein passed drug-likeness parameters. Performed docked complex systems have good conformational stability 100 ns different temperatures (298, 300, 305, 310, 320 K). comparison between calculated free energy via MM/PB(GB)SA methods docking suggested tight protein. concluded drug-like properties stable

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic hormonal and metabolic disorder in which our body cannot generate necessary insulin or does not act response to it, accordingly, ensuing discordantly high blood sugar (glucose) levels. can lead systemic dysfunction the multiorgan system, including cardiac dysfunction, severe kidney disease, lowered quality of life, increased mortality risk from diabetic complications. To uncover possible therapeutic targets treat diabetes mellitus, silico drug design technique widely used, connects ligand molecules with target proteins construct protein-ligand network. identify new for type 2 Azadirachta indica subjected phytochemical screening using molecular docking, pharmacokinetic behavior analysis, simulation-based dynamic analysis. This study has analyzed around 63 compounds, initial selection compounds was made by analyzing their properties comparing them Lipinski’s rule 5. The selected were docking. top four reported along control nateglinide based on highest negative binding affinity. interaction been understand better how interact targeted protein structure. results analysis revealed that 7-Deacetyl-7-oxogedunin had docking score −8.9 Kcal/mol also demonstrated standard stability 100 ns simulation performed receptor ectodomain. It found these substances may rank among essential supplementary antidiabetic drugs treating mellitus. suggested more vivo vitro research studies be carried out support conclusions drawn this strategy.
