Abstract
In spite of tremendous advancement in the field of cancer therapy, it is still one of the leading causes of death worldwide. One of the newest targets in the field of cancer therapeutics is 5’Adenosine Mono Phosphate activated protein kinase (AMPK). In vitro and in vivo evidences suggest anti-cancer activity of AMPK. AMPK activation may promote catabolism while preventing the anabolic processes of cell. Thus it may modulate cellular protein and lipid metabolism and affect the growth and division of cell. Here we review the mechanisms of action of AMPK modulators as future anti-cancer agents.
Keywords: AMPK, anti-cancer, diabetes, natural, synthetic.

Induction of cell death in cancer cells by modulating telomerase activity using small molecule drugs
Telomeres are distinctive but short stretches present at the corners of chromosomes and aid in stabilizing chromosomal makeup. Resynthesis of telomeres supported by the activity of reverse transcriptase ribonucleoprotein complex telomerase. There is no any telomerase activity in human somatic cells, but the stem cells and germ cells undergone telomerase ...read more
