Abstract
Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death in women worldwide. Initially, it develops in the epithelium of the ducts or lobules of the breast glandular tissues with limited growth and the potential to metastasize. It is a highly heterogeneous malignancy; however, the common molecular mechanisms could help identify new targeted drugs for treating its subtypes. This study uses computational drug repositioning approaches to explore fresh drug candidates for breast cancer treatment. We also implemented reversal gene expression and gene expression-based signatures to explore novel drug candidates computationally. The drug activity profiles and related gene expression changes were acquired from the DrugBank, PubChem, and LINCS databases, and then in silico drug screening, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, replica exchange MD simulations, and simulated annealing molecular dynamics (SAMD) simulations were conducted to discover and verify the valid drug candidates. We have found that compounds like furosemide, gold, and dopamine showed significant outcomes. Furthermore, the expression of genes related to breast cancer was observed to be reversed by these shortlisted drugs. Therefore, we postulate that combining furosemide, gold, and dopamine would be a potential combination therapy measurement for breast cancer patients.

Abstract
Dengue is a major worldwide problem in tropical and subtropical areas; it is caused by four different viral serotypes, and it can manifest as asymptomatic, mild, or severe. Many factors interact to determine the severity of the disease, including the genetic profile of the infected patient. However, the mechanisms that lead to severe disease and eventually death have not been determined, and a great challenge is the early identification of patients who are more likely to progress to a worse health condition. Studies performed in regions with cyclic outbreaks such as Cuba, Brazil, and Colombia have demonstrated that African ancestry confers protection against severe dengue. Highlighting the host genetics as an important factor in infectious diseases, a large number of association studies between genetic polymorphisms and dengue outcomes have been published in the last two decades. The most widely used approach involves case-control studies with candidate genes, such as the HLA locus and genes for receptors, cytokines, and other immune mediators. Additionally, a Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) identified SNPs associated with African ethnicity that had not previously been identified in case-control studies. Despite the increasing number of publications in America, Africa, and Asia, the results are quite controversial, and a meta-analysis is needed to assess the consensus among the studies. SNPs in the MICB, TNF, CD209, FcγRIIA, TPSAB1, CLEC5A, IL10 and PLCE1 genes are associated with the risk or protection of severe dengue, and the findings have been replicated in different populations. A thorough understanding of the viral, human genetic, and immunological mechanisms of dengue and how they interact is essential for effectively preventing dengue, but also managing and treating patients.
