Abstract
Selective inhibition of COX-2 provided a new class of anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic drugs with significantly reduced side effects and could also be an important strategy for preventing or treating a number of cancers. This review illustrates the molecular modeling methods used for the knowledge of the molecular mechanism of inhibition as well as for the design of selective compounds.

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
Role of natural compounds as anti anti-cancer agents
Cancer is considered the leading cause of worldwide mortality, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2022. Cancer outcome can be improved through an appropriate screening and early detection and through an efficient clinical treatment. Chemotherapy remains an important approach in treatment o f several types of cancers, even though ...read more
