Abstract
4-Thiazolidinone is a promising scaffold for the search of new potential antibacterial, antiviral, antidiabetic and anticancer agents etc. SAR analysis of the most potent compounds and different activities evaluation provide a solid background for de novo design of novel drugs. Current review summarizes recent QSAR studies on the 4-thiazolidinones making the emphasis on both technical and interpretative sides of reported models. Several papers among them are devoted to the anticancer activity of 4-thiazolidinone derivatives and are reporting QSAR models that were obtained via multiple linear regressions (MLR). Additionally, a non-linear approach, namely Gaussian processes, has been applied to identify the relationships between 4-thiazolidinones structure and tumor cell growth inhibition. The interpretation of the reported model highlights the core template for the design of new highly-potent anticancer agents and proposes a hypothesis about key role of Hydrogen at the N-atom three bonds away from thiazolidine in the interaction with biotarget.

Chemistry Based on Natural Products for Therapeutic Purposes
The development of new pharmaceuticals for a wide range of medical conditions has long relied on the identification of promising natural products (NPs). There are over sixty percent of cancer, infectious illness, and CNS disease medications that include an NP pharmacophore, according to the Food and Drug Administration. Since NP ...read more
Current Trends in Drug Discovery Based on Artificial Intelligence and Computer-Aided Drug Design
Drug development discovery has faced several challenges over the years. In fact, the evolution of classical approaches to modern methods using computational methods, or Computer-Aided Drug Design (CADD), has shown promising and essential results in any drug discovery campaign. Among these methods, molecular docking is one of the most notable ...read more

From Biodiversity to Chemical Diversity: Focus of Flavonoids
Flavonoids are the largest group of polyphenols, plant secondary metabolites arising from the essential aromatic amino acid phenylalanine (or more rarely from tyrosine) via the phenylpropanoid pathway. The flavan nucleus is the basic 15-carbon skeleton of flavonoids (C6-C3-C6), which consists of two phenyl rings (A and B) and a heterocyclic ...read more
