Abstract
In recent years, research on the roles of TRP channels in vascular function and disease has undergone a rapid expansion from tens of reports published in the early 2000s to several hundreds of papers published to date. Multiple TRP subtypes are expressed in vascular smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells, where they form diverse non-selective cation channels permeable to Ca2+. These channels mediate Ca2+ entry following receptor stimulation, Ca2+ store depletion and mechanical stimulation of vascular myocytes and endothelial cells. The complex molecular composition and signalling pathways leading to the activation of various vascular TRP channels and the growing evidence for their involvement in various vascular disorders, including dysregulation of vascular tone and hypertension, impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilatation, increased endothelial permeability, occlusive vascular disease, vascular injury and oxidative stress, are summarised and discussed in this review.

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
Drug Discovery in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
In the age of artificial intelligence (AI), we have witnessed a significant boom in AI techniques for drug discovery. 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
