Theoretical Investigation of the Structural, Spectroscopic, Electronic, and Pharmacological Properties of 4-Nerolidylcathecol, an Important Bioactive Molecule by Renyer A. Costa, Earle Silva A. Junior, Jaqueline de A. Bezerra, Josiana Moreira Mar, Emerson S. Lima, Maria Lucia B. Pinheiro, Diego V. C. Mendonça, Guilherme Braule P. Lopes, Adjane Dalvana S. Branches, Kelson M. T. Oliveira

“…Molecular docking calculations with DNA topoisomerase I-DNA complex (TOPO-I), glyceraldehyde 3-phospate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), and Plasmodium falciparum lactate dehydrogenase (PfLDH) showed binding free energies of −6.3, −6.5, and −7.6 kcal/mol, respectively, which indicates that 4NRC is a good competitive inhibitor for these enzymes.…”

TOPBP1 as a potential predictive biomarker for enhanced combinatorial efficacy of olaparib and AZD6738 in PDAC by Xiao-Mei Tang, Min-Min Shi, Jia-Cheng Wang, Yi-Jin Gu, Yu-Ting Dai, Qin-Xin Yang, Jia Liu, Ling-Jie Ren, Xin-Yun Liu, Chun Yang, Fang-Fang Ma, Ji-Bing Liu, Hong Yu, Da Fu, Yun-Feng Wang

“…The DNA damage response (DDR) pathway is frequently altered during PDAC development, leading to an increased occurrence of DNA damage. DNA topoisomerase II-binding protein 1 (TOPBP1) plays a supportive role in regulating the DDR pathway, and its overexpression has been linked to the tumorigenesis of various cancers. …”
