PURPOSE: Nitrofurantoin (NITRO), a long-standing antibiotic to treat urinary tract infections, is activated by Nitro reductases. This activation mechanism has led to its exploration for repositioning applications in controlling and treating breast ca...
Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) plays a critical role in the development of various cancers. In this study, the dataset of 1810 collected inhibitors were divided into a training set and a test set by the self-organizing map (SOM) and random method, ...
BACKGROUND: Insect neuropeptide allatostatins (ASTs) play a vital role in regulating insect growth, development, and reproduction, making them potential candidates for new insect growth regulators (IGRs). However, the practical use of natural ASTs in...
