Abstract
The enzyme phospholipase A2 catalyzes the cleavage of the sn-2 acyl ester bond of phospholipids, leading to the production of free fatty acids and lysophospholipids, which leads to many inflammatory disorders. In view of its pharmaceutical interest, three phospholipase A2 + inhibitor (namely, (i) L-1-O-octyl-2-heptylphosphonyl-sn-glycero-3- phosphoethanolamine, Transition State Analogue, (ii) 1-Hexadecyl-3-(trifluoroethyl)-sn-glycero-2-phosphomethanol, MJ33 and (iii) p-methoxybenzoic acid, anisic acid) complex structures have already been solved and analysed, using the data obtained from X-ray diffraction. These structures provide insight on the mode of binding of the inhibitor molecules at the active site of phospholipase A2. The knowledge of the active site geometry in these inhibitor bound structures, yield valuable information in the design of more useful therapeutic agents. This report reviews only the inhibitor bound recombinant bovine pancreatic phospholipase A2 structures solved using X-ray crystallography.

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
