Abstract
Structure activity relationship (SAR) and mechanism of paclitaxel and its analogues in recent years are discussed in the following areas: SAR of paclitaxel analogues toward “normal” and multi-drug resistance tumors; paclitaxel prodrugs with improved water solubitily and specificity; mechanism of paclitaxel related to tubulin binding and quest for its pharmacophore.
Keywords: anticancer drugs, paclitaxel, structure-activity relationship (sar), multi-drug resistance (mdr), prodrugs, microtubule, pharmacophore

Bioprospecting of Natural Products as Sources of New Multitarget Therapies
According to the Convention on Biological Diversity, bioprospecting is the exploration of biodiversity and indigenous knowledge to develop commercially valuable products for pharmaceutical and other applications. Bioprospecting involves searching for useful organic compounds in plants, fungi, marine organisms, and microorganisms. Natural products traditionally constituted the primary source of more than ...read more
Drugs and mitochondria
Mitochondria play a central role in the life and death of cells. They are not merely the center for energy metabolism but are also the headquarters for different catabolic and anabolic processes, calcium fluxes, and various signaling pathways. Mitochondria maintain homeostasis in the cell by interacting with reactive oxygen-nitrogen species ...read more
Mitochondria as a Therapeutic Target in Metabolic Disorders
Mitochondria are the primary site of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production in mammalian cells. Moreover, these organelles are an important source of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in virtually any nucleated cell type. The modulation of a myriad of cellular signaling pathways depends on the mitochondrial physiology. Mitochondrial dysfunction is observed ...read more
