Phosphodiesterase-5 Inhibitors in Erectile Dysfunction: Human Penile Sexual Physiology and AI/ML Insights into CBAD and Sex-Chromosome Genetic Syndromes
type: item
description: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a multifactorial disorder with a vascular, endothelial, neurological, endocrine and psychological etiology. This review summarizes human physiology during penile sexual stimulation and of erection, focusing on the nitric oxide–cyclic guanosine monophosphate (NO–cGMP) pathway and the therapeutic potential of phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (PDE5Is). The efficacy and clinical significance of sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil and avanafil is discussed in detail, along with their safety information. The review also explores congenital bilateral absence of the vas (CBAVD), Jacobs syndrome (47, XYY), De la Chapelle syndrome (46, XX testicular DSD) and Klinefelter syndrome (47, XXY) as it relates to male sexual and reproductive health. Human evidence shows that the outcome of infertility and erectile function may be different. Emerging uses of AI/ML applications are also considered, with the most human evidence so far reported for Klinefelter syndrome, and with limited evidence for CBAVD and rarer sex-chromosome syndromes. The review underscores the need for a deeper exploration of the potential synergy between sexual medicine, reproductive genetics, and AI/ML to provide a more personalized assessment and management of the disease.

Structure-Activity Relationship and Molecular Docking-Guided Development of Andrographolide-Based Antidiabetic Agents
type: item
description: Andrographolide was a type diterpenoid lactone situated in Andrographis paniculata. It has gained attention because it might assist diabetics. Its application, on the other hand, is restricted due to its low oral bioavailability, rapid metabolism and very poor stability in vivo. In this report, we used a rational design strategy to generate semisynthetic andrographolide derivatives (SADRs) and tested for their potency toward targeted enzymes in the glucose metabolism. we synthesised two analogues (P-1 to P-4) and solved the three structures. Molecular docking studies with α-glucosidase and α-amylase reveal the binding mode of our compounds, showing how they inhibit both enzymes. The stable hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions of derivative P-2 and P-3 with component parts of the enzyme are responsible for their strong binding affenity. This means they inhibited the enzyme better than the other compound. The laboratory enzyme inhibition test supported this result, illustrating that P-2 andP-3 had the strong dual inhibitory effect as measuring the standard drug acarbose. In vivo: All experiments were performed on streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats (n=10 per group) versus untreated controls. Design pointed experiments randomised did contain blinded ANOVA confirmed significant, dose-dependent reductions in blood glucose, increased insulin secretion and large decreases in HbA1c were also statistically significant for P–2 at higher doses. The small sample size and lack of long-term follow-up are some significant limitations. Further structure–activity relationship analysis revealed that the maintenance of lactone ring, ideal positioning of hydroxyl groups and balanced hydrophobic–hydrophilic properties are essential for anti-diabitic effectiveness. In silico ADME and toxicity prediction suggested an attractive pharmacokinetic profile, high GI absorption, minimal inhibition of cytochrome P450 enzymes, and reasonably good safety margins for the most actives.

description: Hematologic disorders refer to a broad range of both genetic and non-genetic disorders involving the red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, coagulation factors, and bone marrow, such as sickle cell disease (SCD), thalassemia, leukemia, lymphoma, myelodysplastic disorders, hemophilia, anemia, eosinophilia, and thrombocytopenia. The review highlights contemporary evidence in humans about the etiology, pathophysiology, epidemiology, diagnosis, and computational implications of these disorders. Special attention is paid to the application of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), digital pathology, genomics, and multimodal data fusion to their diagnostics and prognosis. The review further describes three-dimensional (3D) morphologic and molecular fingerprinting as an alternative computational method to analyze the spatial morphology of cells and tissues beyond standard microscopy. While AI shows great promise when combined with clinical, laboratory, molecular, and imaging data, its broad application in the clinical setting is constrained by issues such as heterogeneous databases, insufficient multicenter validation, poor model interpretability, and inadequate reporting. Going forward, there needs to be standardization of human databases, explainable AI, prospective validation, and federated learning that protects patient privacy.

Advances in Herbal Nootropics for Dementia: Targeting Oxidative Stress, Neuroinflammation, and Cognitive Decline
type: item
description: Herbal nootropics are gaining attention for their multi-target strategy in dementia, which offers neuroprotection along with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions. The current therapies only provide symptomatic relief without halting or altering disease progression, which occurs due to a complex interplay of amyloid and tau pathology, oxidative stress, deficiency of neurotransmitters, neuroinflammation and vascular damage. The worldwide growing burden of dementia highlights the need for safer, affordable and mechanistically broader therapies. Herbal nootropics like Bacopa monnieri, Gingko biloba, Curcuma longa and many more acts on variety of targets such as acetylcholinesterase inhibition, modulation of signalling but primarily they enhance cognition by modulating neurotransmission, improve brain energy metabolism, support neuroplasticity and reduce oxidative and inflammatory stress. Preclinical research demonstrates improvements in learning and memory from herbal nootropics. However, the lack of standardization and large-scale trials restrict their clinical translation. Future work should focus on standardized extracts, interaction assessments and rational integration with conventional treatment for evidence-based roles of herbal nootropics in dementia.

Despite their promising therapeutic potential, the clinical application of many phytochemicals remains limited due to poor aqueous solubility, low bioavailability, rapid metabolism, chemical instability, and insufficient accumulation at target sites. Recent advances in nanotechnology have provided innovative strategies to overcome these challenges through the development of sophisticated nanocarrier systems capable of enhancing the delivery and therapeutic performance of plant-derived bioactive compounds. Various nanocarrier platforms, including lipid-based nanoparticles, polymeric nanoparticles, inorganic nanomaterials, and biomimetic delivery systems, have demonstrated significant potential in improving phytochemical solubility, stability, pharmacokinetics, and tissue-specific targeting. These nano systems protect bioactive molecules from premature degradation, facilitate controlled and sustained drug release, and enhance cellular uptake through passive and active targeting mechanisms. Nano formulations such as curcumin-loaded PLGA nanoparticles, quercetin-loaded lipid nanocarriers, and stimuli-responsive delivery systems have shown superior bioavailability, enhanced therapeutic efficacy, and improved biodistribution profiles in both preclinical and clinical investigations. In addition to improving therapeutic outcomes, multifunctional nanoplatforms enable the simultaneous delivery of multiple phytochemicals and diagnostic agents, paving the way for theragnostic applications and precision medicine approaches.

Prussian Blue (Radiogardase) in Nuclear Medicine: New Approaches to Treating Internal Radioactive Toxicity-Mechanisms and Efficacy in Radionuclide Contamination
type: item
description: Internal radioactivity pollution is a major issue in nuclear medicine and environmental protection since the radionuclides cesium and thallium can accumulate in the body. This review aims to discuss the application of Prussian Blue (Radiogardase) as a useful decorporation agent, but with reference to animal models alone. The analysis of rodents and livestock shows that Prussian Blue dramatically improves fecal excretion of radionuclides, decreases biological half-life, and restricts tissue absorption using its ion-exchange process in the gastrointestinal tract. Pharmacokinetic studies indicate that there is little absorption into the systemic circulation and that early administration is crucial to the best effect and species differences affect the metabolism and excretion of radionuclides. Also, novel modalities like nanostructured formulations and combination therapies have the potential to enhance the treatment outcomes. The application of animal studies also emphasizes its significant use in the environmental and agricultural context to minimize the transfer of radionuclides to milk and meat, hence food safety. Toxicological assessments assure high safety, low side effects and positive therapeutic index. Non-etheless, drawbacks as variability in dosing regimens and lack of long-term animal studies suggest the necessity of additional studies. In general, Prussian Blue is a very effective and safe approach to dealing with internal radioactive toxicity and radionuclide contamination.

Boundaries in flux: Climate Change's Impact on the Global Distribution of Vector-Borne Diseases(VBD), Histology, Pathogenesis, Modern Threats and Control
type: item
description: More and more, scientists are acknowledging that climate change is a major ecological factor that influences the spread and transmission of diseases carried by vectors in animals. The habitats of vectors, the length of the growing season, and the rate of disease growth in arthropod vectors are all being impacted by the changing climate. The effects of climate change on the disease systems of livestock, wildlife, and companion animals are summarized in this review, which draws on fifteen important studies. The results show that as temperatures rise, vectors have a better chance of survival and can spread to higher latitudes and higher elevations. Notable instances of redistribution caused by climate change include tick-borne diseases, ruminant bluetongue epidemics, and the extension of mosquito ranges. Estimating the future magnitude of diseases is fraught with uncertainty because to methodological heterogeneity and a lack of long-term data, even if models that forecast future weather conditions indicate that climate suitability zones will continue to expand. In order to protect animal health and ecological stability, it is crucial to implement climate-informed veterinary surveillance and enhance predictive modeling. The research suggests that climate change amplifies the transmission of illness in animal vector systems.

CRISPR Base-Editing for Correcting Monogenic Mutations: Optimization and Off-Target Profiling
type: item
description: CRISPR base-editing has now emerged as a fast, accurate, and least disruptive technology to correct monogenic mutations in animal models, demonstrating direct A-G and C-T base conversions, without formation of two-stranded breaks. This review summarizes recent advances in optimization of base-editing systems, delivery, and optimization of off-target profiling of mice, zebrafish, rabbits, and livestock. The major results are reported on the development of better versions of the EsCs: BE4max, ABE8e, and high-fidelity Cas9 enzymes can be used to obtain better on-target specificity, whereas AAV vectors, LNPs, and mRNA-based delivery are important in enabling tissue-specific editing. Species-specific variability in off-target studies due to chromatin context and deaminase behavior raises the importance of standardized profiling pipelines. Although it has not been used in therapeutic contexts, despite considerable demonstrated capabilities in metabolic, ocular, and neuromuscular disease models, there are still challenges, including limitations in the use of PAM by bystanders, mosaicism, and long-term safety. All in all, this review provides basis on the possibility of further refinement of editors, safer methods of delivery, and ethical biosafety systems to develop CRISPR base-editing into effective preclinical and translational practices.

From Docking to Bench: An Experimental Validation Pipeline for Top Docking Hits from Medicinal Plants
type: item
description: Computational biology methods, including virtual docking, which are a prediction of the interaction between phytochemicals and disease-relevant target proteins, can be used to speed up the discovery of bioactive compounds in medicinal plants. In silico predictions however need experimental validation to determine biological efficacy. This study provides a systematic pipeline, which combines molecular docking and in vivo validation to determine the interesting antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds. Phytochemicals of Curcuma longa, Withania somnifera, and Gymnema sylvestre were docked against oxidative stress-related and inflammatory target proteins, and the docking hits upon which the phytotoxins Curcumin, Withaferin A, and Gymnemic Acid ranked highest were investigated using Wistar rats. Findings indicated that oxidative stress markers (MDA) and pro-inflammatory cytokine (TNF- 6, IL- 6) were significantly reduced, and antioxidant enzyme activity (SOD) was elevated, as predicted by the affinities of docking. The results show that there is a high correlation between the computational predictions and experimental results, which confirms that the pipeline is a secure method to use plant-derived compounds to predict what they can be used in preclinical drug development. This combined approach provides a generalizable platform on which to connect in silico screening and in vivo validation to enable the identification of plant-based therapies to address oxidative stress and inflammation.

In Silico Screening and Molecular Docking of Phytochemicals Against SARS-Cov-2 Main Protease: Prioritizing Leads For In Vitro Testing
type: item
description: A particularly urgent need for safe and effective treatment medicines has been brought to light by the COVID-19 pandemic, which was caused by SARS-CoV-2. Because of their phytochemicals, medicinal plants have a long history of usage in traditional medicine and could serve as a suitable substitute due to their low toxicity and wide range of bioactivities. Using in silico screening and molecular docking, this study evaluates the inhibitory effect of 60 phytochemicals against SARS-CoV-2's major protease (Mpro), an enzyme necessary for virus replication. Potential candidates were identified by analyzing the chemicals' affinities, molecular interactions, and ADMET (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion, and Toxicity) properties. Findings indicated that Quercetin, Curcumin and Epigallocatechin have potentially good binding affinities and good interaction patterns with Mpro and high gastrointestinal absorption and low predicted toxicity which suggested that they could be used in further animal-based in vitro studies. These phytochemicals are emphasized in the study as possible lead compounds in the development of new, plant-based antiviral agents against SARS-CoV-2 and the study shows the usefulness of computational methodology in speeding up early-stage drug discovery.

Single-Cell Transcriptomics to Map Cellular Heterogeneity in Tissue Regeneration Models
type: item
description: Single-cell transcriptomics has also revolutionized regenerative biology by offering a resolution never before achieved into both the cellular and molecular pathways mediating tissue repair in different animal models. Through profiling of thousands of individual cells throughout the regenerative process, this technology has revealed widespread cell heterogeneity, lineage-biased progenitor subclusters, active dedifferentiation processes, and pivotal immune interactions between niche that have been lost by bulk estimates. Zebrafish, axolotl, planarian, and mammalian tissue studies demonstrating conservation and species-specificity of stem-cell plasticity, immune modulation and main signaling pathways, Wnt, Fgf, Notch and Tgf- beta, provide insights into conserved and species-specific mechanisms of these developmental changes. Recent methodological progress such as optimised dissociation-based assays, single-nucleus RNA sequencing and the ability to compute lineage relations and find uncommon regenerative cell states have facilitated the reconstitution of lineages and the recovery of rare regenerative cell states. In spite of issues associated with dissociation artifacts, the loss of spatial context, and the variation between studies, the single-cell technologies still transform the knowledge of the regeneration and promise a lucrative translational outlook on generating regenerative therapies that are more specific. This is a review that compiles the recent evidence, analyzes the methodology strengths and weaknesses, and reports the future prospects in bringing together multi-omics, spatial mapping, lineage tracing and cross-species comparisons to complement the mechanistic aspect and hastens the applications of regenerative medicine.

Structure-Based Docking to Identify Anti-Inflammatory Phytochemicals Binding to Cox-2 and 5-Lox
type: item
description: The process of inflammation is a complicated physiological reaction to noxious stimuli and is the work of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX), and is thought to be the cause of chronic inflammatory diseases, including arthritis, asthma, and inflammatory bowel disease. Phytochemicals such as flavonoids, terpenoids, alkaloids have been proposed to be a promising multi-target anti-inflammatory agent, which is safer than traditional NSAIDs because it is associated with gastrointestinal, renal, and cardiovascular side effects. The preclinical animal studies prove that such compounds are effective in reducing paw edema, leukocyte infiltration, and pro-inflammatory cytokines. The complementary structure-based molecular docking experiments identify that there is great hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic and high binding affinities with the important catalytic residues of COX-2 and 5-LOX, which support their dual-inhibitory capacity. Also, phytochemicals of various classes could be used with the help of combinatorics to obtain additive or synergistic effects, to increase efficacy with minimal doses and toxicity. The lack of bioavailability, species-specific differences, and long-term safety data are some challenges that require optimization of formulations and translation studies. The combination of in silico docking with in vivo preclinical models is, in general, a powerful platform of prioritization of phytochemical candidates and their progression to safe and effective multi-targeted anti-inflammatory drugs.

Structure-Based Drug Discovery Using Molecular Dynamics and Docking Techniques
type: item
description: Structure-based drug discovery (SBDD) has emerged as an important means of identifying novel therapeutic candidates using the 3-dimensional structure of target proteins. In this work, molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were applied to 1000 compounds against a target protein aiming to identify potential inhibitors with strong binding affinity and stable binding interactions with the target protein. The top 10 ranked compounds from the docking analysis were further evaluated by applying 100 ns MD simulations to investigate the dynamic stability of the selected compounds according to standard analysis protocols using root mean square deviation (RMSD) and calculation of stable hydrogen bonding interactions. Compound C-102 was identified as the most promising candidate with the lowest RMSD and the greatest average number of hydrogen bonds confirming better stability of the complex with the target protein. Statistical analyses confirmed persistence of significant differences in the stability of the compounds from the selected candidates. Overall study findings support concerns determined using the docking and MD simulation approaches used in this work can fit into the drug discovery process in the early stages and signify a robust, reproducible approach to lead identification and maturation.

Computational Drug Discovery: Integrating AI and Molecular Docking for Lead Optimization
type: item
description: The landscape of pharmaceutical research and development has undergone a paradigm shift from the application of artificial intelligence (AI), molecular docking and the Internet of Things (IoT) to the drug discovery process, creating computational fast pathways. This new computational path way creates the opportunity to overcome the problems associated with the traditional drug development process in terms of cost, timing and low probability of success by gaining speed in lead identification, optimization and validation. AI engines like deep learning and generative algorithms uniquely and rapidly analyze large human curated pharmaceutical datasets that evaluate ADMET properties as well as identify new drug-like small molecules. Molecular docking is synergistically aligned with AI because it can simulate drug-target interactions and allows researchers to rank candidate compounds based on binding affinities to a target of interest. Additionally, IoT acts in concert with AI and molecular docking to collect real-time monitoring data to capture accurate experimental baseline data in a preclinical setting, furthering the ability to improve accuracy, reduce reproducibility errors and raise ethical standards to a higher level using intelligent laboratory automation and continuous physiological monitoring of animal models. All three approaches are viable disruptive technologies for translation drug development in a substantially faster manner and it will strengthen data driven decision making; generate much less redundancy, and accelerate regulatory transparency. While challenges remain related to data quality and infrastructure challenges associated with AI, IoT and molecular docking presents early signaling therefore there is a presiding change in the direction of drug development towards greater speed and precision at a significantly lower cost.
