Abstract
Soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) is a cross-functional target, with the potential for therapeutic utility in the areas of hypertension, inflammation, and organ-protection [1]. Promising target validation has emerged around soluble epoxide hydrolase in recent years which suggests that small molecule inhibitors may have utility in cardio protection, glucose regulation, hypertension, inflammation, and organ protection. Based on the diversity of chemical classes of sEH inhibitors reported in the literature, there exists a real opportunity to definitively determine the best therapeutic utility for an sEH inhibitor. Recent advances in target validation and tool compounds from medicinal chemistry efforts will be described.
Keywords: Soluble epoxide hydrolase, epoxyeicosatrienoic acids, EETs, dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids, DHETs, P450 monooxygenase, Ephx2

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
