| Cell cycle progression through mitosis and meiosis involves regulation by serine/threonine kinases from the aurora family. Aurora kinase b (Aurkb) is mainly involved in the proper segregation of chromosomes during mitosis as well as meiosis. However, over expression of Aurkb leads to the unequal distribution of genetic information creating aneuploid cells, a hallmark of cancer. Thus, Aurkb can be used as an effective molecular target for computer-aided drug discovery against cancer. Existing Aurkb inhibitors are less efficient, hence an in silico work was carried out to identify novel potent inhibitors. Three published inhibitors azd1152, zm447439 and N-(4-{[6-methoxy-7-(3-morpholin-4-ylpropoxy) quinazolin- 4-yl] amino} phenyl) benzamide were subjected to... |

| Human proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase YES (YES) is a non receptor kinase belongs to Src family. This gene lies in close proximity to thymidylate synthase gene on chromosome 18, and a corresponding pseudogene has been found on chromosome 22. In hepatocellular carcinoma and colorectal carcinoma elevated human YES activity was observed. Inhibitors of human YES reported till date are in clinical trials and associated with several side effects. The present study was mainly aimed in homology modeling of human YES and discovery of novel lead molecules that inhibit YES kinase more efficiently with fewer side effects. Virtual screening and docking techniques were applied to identify novel lead molecule of YES kinase. As there was no reported human YES... |

| PIM3 belongs to a family of proto oncogenes that encode serine/threonine protein kinases in human. Pim-3 is involved in cell cycle progression, suppression of apoptosis and proliferation of human hepatoma cell lines. During normal cell cycle progression, Bcl-2 associated death promoter (BAD protein) inactivates Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL there by promoting apoptosis. However, phosphorylation of BAD protein by Pim-3 leaves Bcl-2 free to inhibit Bax-triggered apoptosis. Thus, designing inhibitors against Pim-3 would stop BAD phosphorylation, hence would be highly useful for development of novel means of cancer therapeutics. Computer aided drug designing approach was followed here to explore lead molecules targeting human Pim-3. For this, proteomic nature and phylogeny... |

| P38δ Mitogen activated protein kinase is a serine/threonine protein kinase that participates in signaling cascades, mediating cellular responses to cytokinines, UV radiation, hyperosmotic stress, inducing keratinocyte differentiation and regulating apoptosis. Over expression of p38δ leads to tumor development by impairing the ERK1/2 –AP1 pathway that is critically linked to the control of cell proliferation and tumorigenesis on skin which was experimentally proven in knockout mice. Therefore, herein, a computational approach was undertaken to design novel inhibitors against p38delta for effective cancer therapy. The tertiary structure of p38δ was retrieved from a protein databank and active sites were predicted from... |

| Oncogenic constitutive enzyme human p38γ is a serine/threonine protein kinase, activated through phosphorylation by environmental stress and pro-inflammatory cytokines responses. Breast cancer, hepatoma, colon cancer, atherosclerotic lesion (coronary artery lesion / hardening of artery), hypertension and inflammations are some of the diseases caused by human p38γ due to over expression. Over expression of the protein in turn induces anti-apoptosis and inflammatory responses, increased malignant transformation and cell differentiation. Thus, designing potent inhibitors against p38γ would be highly practicable for development of novel means of breast cancer therapeutics. Extensive preclinical data and proteomic analysis support... |

| The first oncogene and the first non receptor tyrosine kinase, Src, plays a key role in cell morphology, motility, proliferation and survival. Over expression of Src kinase activity disrupts the RAS pathway in signaling pathway, where it loses its ability to hydrolyse GTP and thus, leads to cancer. A wide range of evidences indicated that Src-signaling was important in the oncogenesis of prostate cancer and other tumours. Src-signaling is involved in androgen-induced proliferation of prostate cancer in cancer tissue of patients having castration-refractory prostate cancer. Once prostate cancer becomes castration-resistant, bone metastases become significant problem for which treatment options are limited. As Src is involved in multiple signaling pathways,... |

| Human parvovirus B19, a member of the Parvoviridae family, is a pathogen associated with a wide variety of diseases. Most commonly, it causes childhood rash erythema infectiosum, but in some cases more serious symptoms such as persistent arthropathy, critical failures of red cell production causing transient aplastic crisis, this infection in pregnancy causes hydrops fetalis and myocarditis. Traditional immunosuppressive therapy being unsuccessful, anti-viral therapy might be worthy of consideration. Functional annotation would provide role of viral proteome in its survival and pathogenic mechanisms. SVMProt functional family annotations of VP2 protein had deciphered its zinc-binding, coat protein, outer membrane, chlorophyll biosynthesis, DNA repair and... |

| B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most prevalent B-cell malignancy in adults. Despite advances in treatment, the disease remains incurable, warranting further efforts to identify novel molecular targets and inhibitors. Spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) plays a pivotal role for B-lymphocyte development and maturation in the B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling pathway and hence represents a potential therapeutic target for CLL. The present study is directed towards finding novel inhibitors of SYK through ligand based virtual screening. The co-crystal structure of SYK was investigated to locate active site residues (Glu-449, Ala-451 Arg-498, Asn-499, Ser-511, and Asp-512). Five SYK specific published inhibitors (Gleevec, staurosporine, Bay61-3606, R-406... |

| The Ras-dependent Raf/MEK/ERK signaling pathway is a major regulator of cell proliferation and survival. Hyper activation of the pathway is frequently observed in human malignancies as a result of aberrant activation of receptor tyrosine kinases or mutations in RAF (V600E). MEK1 is dual-specificity tyrosine/threonine protein kinases found in the pathway. The RAF mutation (present in 50% of melanomas) have been shown to be highly dependent on MEK1 activity and also MEK1 is the only acknowledged activator of ERK, making them attractive targets for therapeutic intervention. In view of its importance, identification of potent inhibitor against MEK1 may be valuable to design effective drugs against melanoma. Inhibitors for human MEK1 reported till dates have... |

| p38α, a non-receptor serine/threonine kinase, plays an essential role in cell proliferation, cell differentiation, apoptosis, production of cytokines such as IL1β and TNFα, senescence and tumorigenesis. Over expression of p38α enhances the production of cytokines, leading to inflammation causing cancers. Therefore, the protein p38α is selected as a target for the inhibition of progression of inflammatory cancers. SB203580, BIRB796, 2H-quinolizine-2-one, 7-alkyl-1,5-bis–aryl-pyrazolo pyridinones, aML3403, N-pyrimidyl amides, Fused pyrazoles, SD0006, 4-3-(4-fluoro phenyl )-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)pyridine are the nine published inhibitors for the p38α, but they show side effects like liver... |

| Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease of global concern caused by Leptospira interrogans. Subtractive genomic approach, metabolic pathway analysis and multi strain genome comparisons of Leptospira interrogans serovars had proposed 88 common drug targets from 5,124 genes of serovar Copenhageni and 4,727 genes of serovar Lai. Three potential drug targets (lpxC, lpxD and lpxB) were identified from Lipid A biosynthesis process of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) biosynthesis pathway. Lipid A is one of the three components of LPS that contains multiple hydrophobic fatty acid chains which anchor the LPS into the bacterial membrane. Designing inhibitory drug molecules targeting Lipid A biosynthesis would dissolve the structural integrity of membrane structure leading to... |
