Abstract
One-third of people will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives, making it the second leading cause of death globally each year after cardiovascular disease. The complex anticancer molecular mechanisms have been understood clearly with the advent of improved genomic, proteomic, and bioinformatics. Our understanding of the complex interplay between numerous genes and regulatory genetic components within cells explaining how this might lead to malignant phenotypes has greatly expanded. It was discovered that epigenetic resistance and a lack of multitargeting drugs were highlighted as major barriers to cancer treatment, spurring the search for innovative anticancer treatments. It was discovered that epigenetic resistance and a lack of multitargeting drugs were highlighted as major barriers to cancer treatment, spurring the search for innovative anticancer treatments. Many popular anticancer drugs, including irinotecan, vincristine, etoposide, and paclitaxel, have botanical origins. Actinomycin D and mitomycin C come from bacteria, while bleomycin and curacin come from marine creatures. However, there is a lack of research evaluating the potential of algae-based anticancer treatments, especially in terms of their molecular mechanisms. Despite increasing interest in the former, and the promise of the compounds to treat tumours that have been resistant to existing treatment, pharmaceutical development of these compounds has lagged. Thus, the current review focuses on the key algal sources that have been exploited as anticancer therapeutic leads, including their biological origins, phytochemistry, and the challenges involved in converting such leads into effective anticancer drugs.

Abstract
Heterocyclic compounds constitute the most important part of medicinal as well as organic chemistry. Most of the marketed drugs possess therapeutic activity because of the presence of heterocyclic scaffolds as part of their structure. A slight change in the structure of the heterocyclic moieties may result in a major change in the therapeutic response of the drug candidate. Among all heterocycle compounds, the compounds containing nitrogen and sulfur atoms serve as a unique resource for drug development, such as benzothiazoles. Benzothiazole is a benzofused heterocyclic that is widely reported as a constituent of naturally occurring chemicals and chiefly responsible for their pharmacological potential. It was also reported that the pharmacological activity of BTA may also be influenced by its coupling with aldehydes, ketones, or hydrazines to form respected benzothiazole-hydrazone derivatives. The present comprehensive review consists of various synthesis methods, biological activities, and structure-activity relationships of and targets of benzothiazole and benzothiazole-hydrazone derivatives to provide a wide range of information to medicinal chemists for future research work.

Abstract
The liver is a crucial organ that is involved in various kinds of metabolic activity and a very stable accessory gland for the digestive system. Long-term or persistent inflammation and oxidative stress due to any reasons have a substantial impact on the beginning and continuation of chronic diseases such as hepatocellular carcinoma, liver cirrhosis, liver fibrosis, and other hepatic conditions. There are many sources which can help the liver to be healthy and enhance its metabolic potential of the liver. Since the diet is rich origin of bioactive along with antioxidant chemicals including flavonoids and polyphenols, it can control different stages of inflammation and hepatic diseases. Numerous food sources, notably vegetables, nuts, fruits, cereals, beverages, and herbal medicinal plants, are rich in bioactive chemicals called flavonoids and their derivatives like Flavones, Anthocyanins, Iso-flavonoid, Flavanones, Flavanols, and Flavan-3-ols. Most recently occurred research on flavonoids has demonstrated that they can regulate hepatoprotective properties. This is because they are essential parts of pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products due to their hepatoprotective, antioxidative, and immune-modulating characteristics. However, the characteristics of their hepatoprotective impact remain unclear. The purpose of this comprehensive review is to survey the flavonoid structure and enriched sources for their hepatoprotective and antioxidant effects concerning liver toxicity or injury.

[PMID: 34515019 DOI: 10.2174/2772432816666210910104306] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2021] [Revised: 06/11/2021] [Accepted: 06/16/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
AIM The aim of the present work was to evaluate the neuroprotective potential of berberine, levetiracetam and their combination in lead acetate-induced neurotoxicity by applying a drug repositioning approach. BACKGROUND Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by impairment of memory, disturbances in reasoning, planning, language and perception. Currently, there are only four drugs approved by US-FDA for AD; therefore, there is an extensive need for new drug development. The drug repositioning approach refers to the development of new uses for existing or abandoned pharmaceuticals. Several studies support the neuroprotective abilities of anti-oxidants resulting in neuronal protection against neurotoxins, suppression of oxidative stress and promotion of memory, learning and cognitive functions. Many natural polyphenols are being investigated as a potential therapeutic option for AD. Levetiracetam (LEV), a second-generation antiepileptic drug, is a new molecule that is clearly differentiated from conventional antiepileptic drugs by its pharmacologic properties. LEV also has been previously demonstrated to protect against oxidative stress-induced neurotoxicity in several models of seizures. Berberine (BBR) is an anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant phytoconstituent. OBJECTIVE To study the therapeutic effect of berberine, levetiracetam and their physical mixture in lead acetate-induced neurotoxicity in Swiss albino mice for probable application in the management of Alzheimer's disease. METHODS Neurotoxicity was induced in Swiss albino mice by lead acetate. Behavioural parameters, such as transfer latency time and percentage alternation, were studied using Morris water maze (MWM), Elevated plus-maze test (EPM) and Y-maze for the assessment of improvement in learning and memory. Concentrations of acetylcholinesterase, MDA and GSH in the brain were also estimated. Brain samples were subjected to histopathological studies. RESULTS Results revealed that the combination of BBR and LEV exhibited a significant neuroprotective effect by decreasing escape latency time and increasing time spent in the target quadrant in MWM. The combination also decreases transfer latency time in EPM and acetylcholinesterase levels in the brain as compared to standard donepezil. Reduced neuronal damage was also confirmed by the histopathological report. CONCLUSION Leveteracitam, berberin and their combination resulted in the significant conservation of various behavioural, biochemical, enzymatic and anti-oxidant parameters that were evaluated. The neuroprotective effect of plain leveteracitam and berberin was significantly better than their combination. The anticipated synergism or additive effect was not observed with the combination of leveteracitam and berberin in lead acetate-induced neurotoxicity.

Abstract
One of the leading causes of death worldwide is cancer, which poses substantial risks to both society and an individual's life. Cancer therapy is still challenging, despite developments in the field and continued research into cancer prevention. The search for novel anticancer active agents with a broader cytotoxicity range is therefore continuously ongoing. The benzene ring gets fused to a pyridine ring at two carbon atoms close to one another to form the double ring structure of the heterocyclic aromatic nitrogen molecule known as quinoline (1-azanaphthalene). Quinoline derivatives contain a wide range of pharmacological activities, including antitubercular, antifungal, antibacterial, and antimalarial properties. Quinoline derivatives have also been shown to have anticancer properties. There are many quinoline derivatives widely available as anticancer drugs that act via a variety of mechanisms on various molecular targets, such as inhibition of topoisomerase, inhibition of tyrosine kinases, inhibition of heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90), inhibition of histone deacetylases (HDACs), inhibition of cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, and inhibition of tubulin polymerization.

Abstract
Abstract:
Terpenoids are naturally occurring secondary metabolites that consist of isoprene units (i.e., 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene). Terpenoids became recognized because of their diverse pharmacological benefits, such as anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, analgesic, antibacterial, antifungal, hepatoprotective, antiviral, and antiparasitic activities. But most of these compounds have limited lipophilicity, dissolution rate, aqueous solubility, and drug permeability, so they are not used effectively. The low bioavailability significantly interferes with the performance of terpenoids to cure diseases, and the absorption process of terpenoids also becomes disrupted; therefore, their bioavailability in the blood becomes insufficient to achieve optimal treatment activity. Thus, to overcome this limitation, some strategies are used, such as nanotechnology (nanoparticles, carrier complexation), cocrystal, and glycosylation. Thus, this review summarizes the chemistry of terpenoids, factors that limit the bioavailability of terpenoids, and strategies employed to date with their design principles and outcomes possibly increasing their bioactivity.

Abstract
Abstract:
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder, characterized by periodic and unpredictable seizures affecting the neurobiological, psychological, cognitive, economic, and social well-being of patients. It is one of the causes of concern in developed as well as in developing countries as currently marketed drugs are not capable to provide protection against it. Although several heterocyclic moieties have been frequently used as building blocks for the preparation of anticonvulsant drugs, more focused and consistent research on the synthesis of potential molecules with less adverse effects is needed of the hour. It can be concluded on the basis of available research reports that among several heterocyclic compounds, benzo-fused five-membered heterocyclic moieties (benzothiazole and benzimidazole) have been utilized far less than their great potential as building blocks for the synthesis of anticonvulsant drugs. Various reports clearly established that the required pharmacophore model could be easily achieved through benzothiazole and benzimidazole moieties as two hetero atoms and aryl rings are present in the structure. The present study highlights various synthetic approaches for anticonvulsant benzothiazole and benzimidazole derivatives with their structure-activity relationship studies, in order to provide a trove of knowledge to medicinal chemists for future research.

Abstract
Background:
Among Nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds, pyridazine derivatives serve as a necessary scaffold as they possess various pharmacological activities. Thus, in recent times, the design of novel synthetic schemes and the selection of a new target for the action of pyridazine derivatives have attracted the attention of researchers.
Objective:
This study has focused on synthesizing and evaluating the muscle relaxant activity of pyridazine analogs by in-silico screening and rotarod test.
Methods:
In the present work, pyridazine derivatives were synthesized from substituted pyridine and maleic anhydride yielding intermediates (1a-5a) which on reaction with hydrazine yielded final pyridazine derivatives(1b-5b). They were then screened for muscle relaxant action by an in-silico docking study against muscarinic acetylcholine receptors with protein data bank ID: 5CXV with the use of Autodock 4.2 and Biovia discovery studio tools. Compounds were further tested for muscle relaxant activity by the rotarod test
Results:
Synthesis of the designed compounds was carried out successfully. Obtained result showed that the final compounds (1b-5b) showed 1-3 interactions with acetylcholine muscarinic receptor with -7.2 to -7.9 Kcal/mole affinities. The findings were compared to the typical drug diazepam, which has one interaction with the target and binding energy of -7.7 Kcal/mole. Moreover, the result of the rotarod test showed that substitution by electron-withdrawing groups causes more muscle relaxant activity when compared with the electron releasing groups
Conclusion:
The results of the experimental study showed that pyridazine derivatives could serve as a promising template for the further design and development of muscle relaxant agents.

Various isomeric forms have been reported for oxadiazole, such as 1,3,4-oxadiazole, 1,2,4-oxadiazole, 1,2,5-oxadiazole, etc. In the current time, a considerable population worldwide is facing several mental problems due to a competitive lifestyle. The present status of available medicines doesn’t promise for complete cure without any adverse effects. So, these disorders are continuously challenging the researchers for coming with new molecules with superior efficacy and minimum side effects. All the isomeric forms of oxadiazole have numerous potential in treating various mental problems such as parkinsonism, alzheimer, schizophrenia, and epileptic disorders. In this review article, we summarize several recently reported synthetic strategies for preparing different oxadiazole and its derivatives which were found effective in psychological disorders. The researchers will get all the valuable information (synthesis strategies) for their future research in discovering new molecules with oxadiazole moiety. Furthermore, this review article will help the researchers in the fight against mental disorders and give a new light for mentally challenged people.

Abstract
Abstract:
Cytochrome P450s are a widespread and vast superfamily of hemeprotein monooxygenases that metabolize physiologically essential chemicals necessary for most species' survival, from protists to plants to humans. They catalyze the synthesis of steroid hormones, cholesterol, bile acids, and arachidonate metabolites and the degradation of endogenous compounds such as steroids, fatty acids, and other catabolizing compounds as an energy source and detoxifying xenobiotics such as drugs, procarcinogens, and carcinogens. The human CYP17A1 is one of the cytochrome P450 genes located at the 10q chromosome. The gene expression occurs in the adrenals and gonads, with minor amounts in the brain, placenta, and heart. This P450c17 cytochrome gene is a critical steroidogenesis regulator which performs two distinct activities: 17 alpha-hydroxylase activity (converting pregnenolone to 17-hydroxypregnenolone and progesterone to 17-hydroxyprogesterone, these precursors are further processed to provide glucocorticoids and sex hormones) and 17, 20-lyase activity (which converts 17-hydroxypregnenolone to DHEA). Dozens of mutations within CYP17A1 are found to cause 17-alpha-hydroxylase and 17, 20-lyase deficiency. This condition affects the function of certain hormone-producing glands, resulting in high blood pressure levels (hypertension), abnormal sexual development, and other deficiency diseases. This review highlights the changes in CYP17A1 associated with gene-gene interaction, drug-gene interaction, chemical-gene interaction, and its biochemical reactions; they have some insights to correlate with the fascinating functional characteristics of this human steroidogenic gene. The findings of our theoretical results will be helpful to further the design of specific inhibitors of CYP17A1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anticancer drug development is a tedious process, requiring several in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies. In order to avoid chemical toxicity in animals during an experiment, it is necessary to envisage toxic doses of screened drugs in vivo at different concentrations. Several in vitro and in vivo studies have been reported to discover the management of cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study focused on bringing together a wide range of in vivo and in vitro assay methods developed to evaluate each hallmark feature of cancer. RESULT This review provides detailed information on target-based and cell-based screening of new anticancer drugs in the molecular targeting period. This would help in inciting an alteration from the preclinical screening of pragmatic compound-orientated to target-orientated drug selection. CONCLUSION Selection methodologies for finding anticancer activity have importance for tumor- specific agents. In this study, advanced rationalization of the cell-based assay is explored along with broad applications of the cell-based methodologies considering other opportunities.
