Abstract
Diseases started even before the existence of human beings. Therefore, when the civilization began, the biggest threats for human were diseases. Man has made several sincere attempts for the search of new drugs in order to cure and control different diseases. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder that accounts for about 85-95% of all diagnosed cases of diabetes. It is characterized by abnormalities in glucose homeostasis in many organs, and is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. Extensive research has been carried out using rational drug design to identify and optimize new leads for molecular targets of T2DM, which include Heterocyclic compounds, metal complexes, H3 receptor antagonists, glucagon receptor antagonists and human incretin-degrading enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitors.

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
