Abstract
Breast cancer is the most frequent female cancer and one of the leading causes of cancer death in women. There are many chemotherapy agents available for the treatment of breast cancer. Still, the current therapeutic options have not fulfilled the desired outcomes, especially for drug-resistant breast cancer therapy. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop novel anti-breast cancer agents. Coumarin is ubiquitous in natural and synthetic bioactive compounds, and coumarin derivatives readily interact with a variety of enzymes and receptors in breast cancer cells. Moreover, the coumarin-based irosustat as the first-generation steroid sulfatase inhibitor in breast cancer is under clinical evaluation, revealing the potential of coumarin derivatives as novel anti-breast cancer agents. This review aims to describe the recent development of natural and synthetic coumarin derivatives with anti-breast cancer potential, covering the articles published from 2015 to 2020.

AlphaFold in Medicinal Chemistry: Opportunities and Challenges
AlphaFold, a groundbreaking AI tool for protein structure prediction, is revolutionizing drug discovery. Its near-atomic accuracy unlocks new avenues for designing targeted drugs and performing efficient virtual screening. However, AlphaFold's static predictions lack the dynamic nature of proteins, crucial for understanding drug action. This is especially true for multi-domain proteins, ...read more
Artificial intelligence for Natural Products Discovery and Development
Our approach involves using computational methods to predict the potential therapeutic benefits of natural products by considering factors such as drug structure, targets, and interactions. We also employ multitarget analysis to understand the role of drug targets in disease pathways. We advocate for the use of artificial intelligence in predicting ...read more
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
