BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis is an infectious disease that has become endemic worldwide. The causative bacteria (Mtb) is targeted via several exciting drug targets. One newly discovered target is the Fatty Acyl-CoA synthase, which plays a significant ro...
The src-homology 2 domain-containing phosphatase 2 (SHP2) is a human cytoplasmic protein tyrosine phosphatase that plays a crucial role in cellular signal transduction. Aberrant activation and mutations of SHP2 are associated with tumor growth and im...
A comprehensive computational strategy that combined QSAR modelling, molecular docking, and ADMET analysis was used to discover potential inhibitors for β-secretase 1 (BACE-1). A dataset of 1,138 compounds with established BACE-1 inhibitory activitie...
Selective inhibitors of sirtuin-2 (SIRT2) are increasingly recognized as potential therapeutics for cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Derivatives of 5-((3-amidobenzyl)oxy)nicotinamides have been identified as some of the most potent and selectiv...
The increase in antimicrobial resistance presents a major challenge in treating bacterial infections, underscoring the need for innovative drug discovery approaches and novel inhibitors. Bacterial RNA polymerase (RNAP) has emerged as a crucial target...

Bioactive peptides from food sources offer a safe and biocompatible approach to enzyme inhibition, with potential applications in managing metabolic disorders such as hyperuricemia and gout, conditions linked to excessive xanthine oxidase activity. U...
The bacterial cell wall is crucial for maintaining the integrity of bacterial cells. UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 1-carboxyethylene transferase (MurA) is an important enzyme involved in bacterial cell wall synthesis. Therefore, it is an important target f...
Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterised by a complex array of motor, psychiatric, and gastrointestinal symptoms, many of which are linked to disruptions in neuroactive metabolites. Dysregulated activity of tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO), a key en...
