Abstract
Inspite of established symptomatic relief drug targets, a multi targeting approach is highly in demand to cure Alzheimer's disease (AD). Simultaneous inhibition of cholinesterase (ChE), β secretase-1 (BACE-1) and Dyrk1A could be promising in complete cure of AD. A series of 18 diaryl triazine based molecular hybrids were successfully designed, synthesized, and tested for their hChE, hBACE-1, Dyrk1A and Aβ aggregation inhibitory potentials. Compounds S-11 and S-12 were the representative molecules amongst the series with multi-targeted inhibitory effects. Compound S-12 showed hAChE inhibition (IC50 value = 0.486 ± 0.047 μM), BACE-1 inhibition (IC50 value = 0.542 ± 0.099 μM) along with good anti-Aβ aggregation effects in thioflavin-T assay. Only compound S-02 of the series has shown Dyrk1A inhibition (IC50 value = 2.000 ± 0.360 μM). Compound S-12 has also demonstrated no neurotoxic liabilities against SH-SY5Y as compared to donepezil. The in vivo behavioral studies of the compound S-12 in the scopolamine- and Aβ-induced animal models also demonstrated attanuation of learning and memory functions in rats models having AD-like characteristics. The ex vivo studies, on the rat hippocampal brain demonstrated reduction in certain biochemical markers of the AD brain with a significant increase in ACh level. The Western blot and Immunohistochemistry further revealed lower tau, APP and BACE-1 molecular levels. The drosophilla AD model also revealed improved eyephenotype after treatment with compound S-12. The molecular docking studies of the compounds suggested that compound S-12 was interacting with the ChE-PAS & CAS residues and catalytic dyad residues of the BACE-1 enzymes. The 100 ns molecular dynamics simulation studies of the ligand-protein complexed with hAChE and hBACE-1 also suggested stable ligand-protein confirmation throughout the simulation run.

Abstract
An efficient and promising method of treating complex neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the multitarget-directed approach. Here in this work, a series of quinazoline derivatives (AV-1 to AV-21) were rationally designed, synthesized, and biologically evaluated as multitargeted directed ligands against human cholinesterase (hChE) and human β-secretase (hBACE-1) that exhibit moderate to good inhibitory effects. Compounds AV-1, AV-2, and AV-3 from the series demonstrated balanced and significant inhibition against these targets. These compounds also displayed excellent blood-brain barrier permeability via the PAMPA-BBB assay. Compound AV-2 significantly displaced propidium iodide (PI) from the acetylcholinesterase-peripheral anionic site (AChE-PAS) and was found to be non-neurotoxic at the maximum tested concentration (80 μM) against differentiated SH-SY5Y cell lines. Compound AV-2 also prevented AChE- and self-induced Aβ aggregation in the thioflavin T assay. Additionally, compound AV-2 significantly ameliorated scopolamine and Aβ-induced cognitive impairments in the in vivo behavioral Y-maze and Morris water maze studies, respectively. The ex vivo and biochemical analysis further revealed good hippocampal AChE inhibition and the antioxidant potential of the compound AV-2. Western blot and immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis of hippocampal brain revealed reduced Aβ, BACE-1, APP/Aβ, and Tau molecular protein expressions levels. The pharmacokinetic analysis of compound AV-2 demonstrated significant oral absorption with good bioavailability. The in silico molecular modeling studies of lead compound AV-2 moreover demonstrated a reasonable binding profile with AChE and BACE-1 enzymes and stable ligand-protein complexes throughout the 100 ns run. Compound AV-2 can be regarded as the lead candidate and could be explored more for AD therapy.

Abstract
A series of some novel compounds (SD-1-17) were designed following a molecular hybridization approach, synthesized, and biologically tested for hAChE, hBChE, hBACE-1, and Aβ aggregation inhibition potential to improve cognition and memory functions associated with Alzheimer's disease. Compounds SD-4 and SD-6 have shown multifunctional inhibitory profiles against hAChE, hBChE, and hBACE-1 enzymes in vitro. Compounds SD-4 and SD-6 have also shown anti-Aβ aggregation potential in self- and acetylcholinesterase (AChE)-induced thioflavin T assay. Both compounds have shown a significant propidium iodide (PI) displacement from the cholinesterase-peripheral active site (ChE-PAS) region with excellent blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability and devoid of neurotoxic liabilities. Compound SD-6 ameliorates cognition and memory functions in scopolamine- and Aβ-induced behavioral rat models of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Ex vivo biochemical estimation revealed a significant decrease in malonaldehyde (MDA) and AChE levels, while a substantial increase of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, glutathione (GSH), and ACh levels is seen in the hippocampal brain homogenates. The histopathological examination of brain slices also revealed no sign of neuronal or any tissue damage in the SD-6-treated experimental animals. The in silico molecular docking results of compounds SD-4 and SD-6 showed their binding with hChE-catalytic anionic site (CAS), PAS, and the catalytic dyad residues of the hBACE-1 enzymes. A 100 ns molecular dynamic simulation study of both compounds with ChE and hBACE-1 enzymes also confirmed the ligand-protein complex's stability, while quikprop analysis suggested drug-like properties of the compounds.

The regulation of insulin receptor/insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor ratio, an important factor for breast cancer prognosis, by TRIP-Br1. J Hematol Oncol 2022; 15:82.

Abstract
Much higher risk of cancer has been found in diabetes patients. Insulin receptor (IR) and insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) have been extensively studied in both breast cancer and diabetes therapies. Interestingly, a recent study proposed that IR/IGF1R ratio is an important factor for breast cancer prognosis. Women with higher IR/IGF1R ratio showed poor breast cancer prognosis as well as hyperinsulinemia. Here, we propose a novel mechanism that oncogenic protein TRIP-Br1 renders breast cancer cells and insulin deficient mice to have higher IR/IGF1R ratio by positively and negatively regulating IR and IGF1R expression at the protein level, respectively. TRIP-Br1 repressed IR degradation by suppressing its ubiquitination. Meanwhile, TRIP-Br1 directly interacts with both IGF1R and NEDD4-1 E3 ubiquitin ligase, in which TRIP-Br1/NEDD4-1 degrades IGF1R via ubiquitin/proteasome system. TRIP-Br1-mediated higher IR/IGF1R ratio enhanced the proliferation and survival of breast cancer cells. In conclusion, current study may provide an important information in the regulatory mechanism of how breast cancer cells have acquired higher IR/IGF1R ratio.

Abstract
GLOBOCAN 2020 estimated more than 19.3 million new cases, and about 10 million patients were deceased from cancer in 2020. Clinical manifestations showed that several growth factor receptors consisting of transmembrane and cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase (TK) domains play a vital role in cancer progression. Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are crucial intermediaries of the several cellular pathways and carcinogenesis that directly affect the prognosis and survival of higher tumor grade patients. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are efficacious drugs for targeted therapy of various cancers. Therefore, RTKs have become a promising therapeutic target to cure cancer. A recent report shows that TKIs are vital mediators of signal transduction and cancer cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and apoptosis. In this review, we discuss the structure and function of RTKs to explore their prime role in cancer therapy. Various TKIs have been developed to date that contribute a lot to treating several types of cancer. These TKI based anticancer drug molecules are also discussed in detail, incorporating their therapeutic efficacy, mechanism of action, and side effects. Additionally, this article focuses on TKIs which are running in the clinical trial and pre-clinical studies. Further, to gain insight into the pathophysiological mechanism of TKIs, we also reviewed the impact of RTK resistance on TKI clinical drugs along with their mechanistic acquired resistance in different cancer types.

Abstract
Anti-breast cancer action of novel human carbonic anhydrase IX (hCA IX) inhibitor BSM-0004 has been investigated using in vitro and in vivo models of breast cancer. BSM-0004 was found to be a potent and selective hCA IX inhibitor with a Ki value of 96 nM. In vitro anticancer effect of BSM-0004 was analysed against MCF 7 and MDA-MA-231 cells, BSM-0004 exerted an effective cytotoxic effect under normoxic and hypoxic conditions, inducing apoptosis in MCF 7 cells. Additionally, this compound significantly regulates the expression of crucial biomarkers associated with apoptosis. The investigation was extended to confirm the efficacy of this hCA IX inhibitor against in vivo model of breast cancer. The results specified that the treatment of BSM-0004 displayed an effective in vivo anticancer effect, reducing tumour growth in a xenograft cancer model. Hence, our investigation delivers an effective anti-breast cancer agent that engenders the anticancer effect by inhibiting hCA IX.
