Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) has been declared as a health emergency due to emergence of resistant strains of M. tuberculosis, multidrug resistant (MDR), extensively drug resistant (XDR) TB strains and totally drug resistant tuberculosis (TDR-TB) reported recently in some parts of the world. Therefore, the current situation necessitates developing new antitubercular agents acting on novel targets for effectively controlling TB. Thymidine Monophosphate Kinase (TMPKmt) enzyme is one such target, which is being explored. This review focuses on Structure Activity Relationship studies (SARs) and computational studies of various nucleotide and nucleoside derivatives of pyrimidine analogs reported as TMPKmt inhibitors.

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
