Objective: The significant drawbacks of chemotherapy are that it destroys healthy cells, resulting in adverse effects. Hence, there is a need to adopt new techniques to develop cancer-specific chemicals that target the molecular pathways in a non-toxic fashion. This study aims to screen pyrazole-condensed heterocyclics for their anticancer activities and analyse their enzyme inhibitory potentials EGFR, ALK, VEGFR and TNKS receptors. Methods: The structures of the compounds were confirmed by IR, NMR and Mass spectral studies. The in silico techniques applied in this study were molecular docking and pharmacophore modeling to analyse the protein-ligand interactions, as they have a significant role in drug discovery. Drug-likeness properties were assessed by the Lipinski rule of five and ADMET properties. Anticancer activity was performed by in vitro MTT assay on lung cancer cell lines. Results: The results confirm that all the synthesised pyrazole derivatives interacted well with the selected targets showing docking scores above-5 kcal/mol. Pyrazole 2e interacted well with all the four lung cancer targets with its stable binding mode and was found to be potent as per the in vitro reports, followed by compounds 3d and 2d. Pharmacophore modeling exposed the responsible features responsible for the anticancer action. ADMET properties reported that all the compounds were found to have properties within the standard limit. The activity spectra of the pyrazoles predicted that pyrazolopyridines (2a-2e) are more effective against specific receptors such as EGFR, ALK and Tankyrase. Conclusion: Thus, this study suggests that the synthesised pyrazole derivatives can be further investigated to validate their enzyme inhibitory potentials by in vivo studies.

Carcinogenic mutations allow cells to escape governing mechanisms that commonly inhibit uncontrolled cell proliferation and maintain tightly regulated homeostasis between cell death and survival. Members of the inhibition of growth (ING) family act as tumor suppressors, governing cell cycle, apoptosis and cellular senescence. The molecular mechanism of action of ING genes, as well as their anchor points in pathways commonly linked to malignant transformation of cells, have been studied with respect to a variety of cancer specimens. This review of the current literature focuses specifically on the action mode of ING family members in lung cancer. We have summarized data from in vitro and in vivo studies, highlighting the effects of varying levels of ING expression in cancer cells. Based on the increasing insight into the function of these proteins, the use of ING family members as clinically useful biomarkers for lung cancer detection and prognosis will probably become routine in everyday clinical practice.

Phymatosorus scolopendria (Burm.F.) Pic. Serm. is a medicinally important fern which is used traditionally by various people all over the World. The aim of this research focuses on the docking against lung cancer protein (2ITO) with bioactive compounds of Phymatosorus scolopendria (Burm.F.) Pic. Serm. which is obtained by using Gas Chromatography Mass Spectroscopy.  The same compounds were analysed using Lipinski’s rule of five for its pharmacological prediction. The bioactive compounds were further referred for ADMET property to find its pharmacokinetic potency and prediction towards its potential as drug in future.   Among the four compounds docked with the Lung cancer protein (2ITO) 4-Nitrophenyl laurate shows high docking score followed by Hexadecanoic acid, 4 Nitrophenyl ester and Myristic acid Vinyl ester. Out of four compounds studied three compounds satisfied the  drug-likeliness based on Lipinski’s rule of five. The present work suggests the bioactive compounds of Phymatosorus scolopendria (Burm.F.) Pic. Serm.  for further in vitro and in vivo studies for its anticancer benefits especially related to lung cancer.

AbstractLung cancer is one of very important malignancies which are related to high mobility and mortality in the world. Despite several efforts for improving diagnosis and treatment strategies of lung cancer, finding and developing new and effective therapeutic and diagnostic are needed. A variety of internal and external factors could be involved in lung cancer pathogenesis. Among internal factors, epigenetic mechanisms have been emerged as very important players in the lung cancer. Non-coding RNAs is known as one of epigenetic regulators which exert their effects on a sequence of cellular and molecular mechanisms. P-element induced wimpy testis (PIWI)-interacting RNAs (piRNAs or piR) is one of small non-coding RNAs that the deregulation of these molecules is associated with initiation and progression of different cancers such as lung cancer. Several activities are related to PIWI/piRNA pathway such as suppression of transposons and mobile genetic elements. In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated the upregulation or downregulation of PIWI proteins and piRNAs could lead to the increasing of cell proliferation, apoptosis reduction and promoting tumor growth in the lung cancer. Hence, PIWI proteins and piRNA could be introduced as new diagnostic and therapeutic biomarkers in the lung cancer therapy. Herein, we have focused on PIWI proteins and piRNA functions and their impact on the progression of lung cancer.

ABSTRACT Astaxanthin (ASX) is a naturally occurring xanthophyll carotenoid. Both in vitro and in vivo studies have shown that it is a potent antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide, whereas other lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema, and asthma are of high prevalence. In the past decade, mounting evidence has suggested a protective role for ASX against lung diseases. This article reviews the potential role of ASX in protecting against lung diseases, including lung cancer. It also summarizes the underlying molecular mechanisms by which ASX protects against pulmonary diseases, including regulating the nuclear factor erythroid 2–related factor/heme oxygenase-1 pathway, NF-κB signaling, mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling, Janus kinase–signal transducers and activators of transcription-3 signaling, the phosphoinositide 3-kinase/Akt pathway, and modulating immune response. Several future directions are proposed in this review. However, most in vitro and in vivo studies have used ASX at concentrations that are not achievable by humans. Also, no clinical trials have been conducted and/or reported. Thus, preclinical studies with ASX treatment within physiological concentrations as well as human studies are required to examine the health benefits of ASX with respect to lung diseases.
