Abstract
The invading microbial pathogens are controlled by the rapid and effective innate immune responses sequentially formation of the long-lasting adaptive memories. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play a vital role in innate and adaptive immune response by function as a bridge to modulate the immune response. Further, genetic studies in human or animals showed that regulation of TLR signaling contributes to the antibacterial efficacy, and developing novel reagent to modulate TLR related immune response becomes an interesting therapy method to against bacterial infections. Herein we review the recent developments of this area, focusing on the reagent of synthetic molecules, natural products and peptides (or proteins), as TLR-related antibacterial drugs.

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

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
