Journal ArticleDOI

DNA binding and Topoisomerase inhibition: How can these mechanisms be explored to design more specific anticancer agents?

TL;DR: The present review aims at showing through distinct biological tests the performance of different candidates to anticancer drugs and their respective chemical modifications, which are crucial and/or determinant for DNA affinity and inhibition of important enzymes in cells' vital processe to either separately or synergistically optimize anticancer activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

COVID-19 therapy: What weapons do we bring into battle?

TL;DR: In this review, the drugs that have been repurposed so far are grouped according to their chemical class to provide better understanding of their structural similarities and possible correlations with mechanisms of actions that can help identifying anti-SARS-CoV-2 promising therapeutic agents.
Journal ArticleDOI

Albumin roles in developing anticancer compounds

TL;DR: There is an increasing tendency to use albumin in analyses of absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) properties of anticancer molecules, which further demonstrated the promising character of this investigation for proposing new drugs.
