    Flavonols as cancer preventive agents: Recent updates
    (Nova Science Publishers, Inc., 2021-06-20T00:00:00) Kumar, Shashank; Singh, Pushpendra
    This book describes primary results on the leading edge of in silico and in vitro cancer research and summarizes the anticancer activity of pharmacologically important flavonols such as quercetin, morin, kaempferol, fisetin, galangin, diosmetin, and cianidanol. Natural products are a prime source of lead compounds suitable for further modification during drug development. Cancer drug discovery is a risky, costly, and resource-consuming process. In the modern arena, molecular computer modeling in anticancer drug development is utilized to speed up hit identification and optimization of the pharmacological profile. The first chapter of this book deals with computer-aided drug discovery and anticancer drug design using pharmacological active flavonols. In further chapters, the authors discuss the in vitro and in vivo advancement in anticancer research on important flavonols such as quercetin, morin, kaempferol, fisetin, galangin, diosmetin, and cianidanol. Anticancer advancement research related to various cancers is summarized and discussed, giving special emphasis on the effect on apoptosis, migrations, and growth via various signaling pathways. The book encompasses the literature as well as target identification for the selected flavonols for their in silico anticancer potential. Moreover, it also contains experimentation results and discussion on the pharmacological properties, including ADME/T, of the flavonols. Overall, this book can lay a good basis for the subsequent rise for its application as a therapeutic drug in the near future. � 2021 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc. All rights reserved.

    Natural Compounds Are Smart Players in Context to Anticancer Potential of Receptor Tyrosine Kinases: An In Silico and In Vitro Advancement
    (Springer, 2017) Singh, Pushpendra; Kumar, Shashank; Bast, Felix
    Cancer is the ruling cause of mortality worldwide. Chemotherapeutic toxicity and drug resistance have provided impulsion for the formulation of new anticancer agents. Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are the most activated cell surface receptors for copious polypeptide growth factors, cytokines, and hormones that play a considerable role in cancer initiation, promotion, and progression. Natural products are a prime source of new anticancer drugs and their leads. The objective of computer-aided drug design (CADD) is to enhance the set of compounds with prudent active drug-like properties and eliminate inactive, toxic, poor absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion toxicity (ADME/T) compounds. In the present chapter, in silico advancement of anticancer natural compounds and molecular mechanisms of action of flavonoids, viz., genistein, myricetin, quercetin, luteolin, morin, kaempferol, catechin, and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), on RTK and PI3K signaling pathway attributing to their potential anticancer activity have been discussed.
