Abstract
The kidney plays an important role in the regulation of plasma glucose. It is estimated that greater than 99% of the renal glucose filtered by kidney glomerulus is resorbed by sodium-dependent glucose co-transporters (SGLTs), and that SGLT2 located in the proximal renal tubule achieves the most of this assignment. Studies of SGLT2 inhibitors indicate that raising renal glucose excretion by inhibiting SGLT2 helps effectively normalize the plasma glucose levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This review discusses the discovery of SGLT2 inhibitors and the related structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies. The clinical trial data of dapagliflozin is also involved.

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
