Abstract
For years, great efforts have been made by scientists to construct various novel interlocked supramolecular systems. A wide range of pseudorotaxanes and rotaxanes [1-7], full of challenging constructions and potential applications in areas such as nanostructured functional materials [8,9], molecular switches [10-14], molecular logic gates [15-19], molecular wires [20-22], memory devices Willner [23] and biomedical applications [24,25] have been reported recently. Cyclodextrin polyrotaxantes or polypseudorotaxanes there are not only nice and interesting supramolecular architectures but they also have a high interest for biomaterials application that allow to opened up new approaches for tissue regeneration, drug and gene delivery. The use of the supramolecular cyclodextrins complexes has given rise to interesting studies to design and develop new biomaterials with advanced properties. In this review we will update the recent advances in the use of CDs-supramolecular structures for develop new and advanced drug and gene delivery systems and for use in tissue engineering.

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

AI techniques are increasingly integrated and accelerating the drug discovery process. These developments have not only attracted the attention of academia and industry but also raised important questions regarding the selection ...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
