Abstract The success or failure of a potential drug depends on its absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity (ADMET) characteristics, these features are usually rate-limiting in the development process. Hence, it is essential to know about predicted ADMET properties most promising leads avoid risk late-stage attrition. This project focuses silico screening phytochemicals found Dakshina Kannada's medicinal plants, which include Tinospora cordifolia, Azadirachta indica,...
5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is widely used in chemotherapy but poses serious risks of cardiotoxicity, which can significantly affect treatment outcomes. Identifying interventions that prevent these adverse effects without undermining anticancer efficacy crucial. This study investigates the Thymoquinone (TQ) and Hesperidin (HESP) preventing cardiotoxicity induced by 5-FU Wistar rats elucidates molecular interactions through docking studies. We employed an experimental design involving multiple...
Nitrogen heterocyclic compounds such as pyrazolines have been found to possess a broad spectrum of biological activities anticancer, antitubercular, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antidepressant activities.
