Abstract
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a devastating disease without effective drugs available for its treatment. An in-depth exploration of the pathogenesis of PAH, as well as inquiry into potential therapeutic targets, remains an urgent issue. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have arisen as key players in malignant tumors, cardiovascular diseases and more recently in PAH progression and development. Network pharmacology is a new discipline based on system biology, which can predict potential therapeutic targets in diseases regulated by multiple genes. In this review, we discuss the current knowledge of ncRNAs and network pharmacology regulated genes involved in PAH, as well as the search for potential drug targets for PAH.

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
