Abstract
Biomarkers in the clinical oncology field can have tremendous therapeutic impact especially if the marker is detected before clinical symptoms. This impact can be extended to the evaluation of clinical oncology treatments allowing evaluation of potential compounds to determine their efficacy in the disease treatment. The discovery of clinical biomarkers can consume time, resources and costs. Therefore, it is important that the most effective strategies are employed to discover these biomarkers. These strategies may include the integration of available genomic, proteomic and histopathological technologies, which could reduce the costs and aid in the validation of the biomarker. Certainly the type of biomarker needed to address a particularly defined problem will drive the type of technology. However, a single biomarker to diagnose a specific cancer can be as elusive as relying on a single technology. This review examines some of the technologies used to discover biomarkers and presents the use of combinatorial technical synergies to discover and validate potential clinical oncology biomarkers.

Adaptogens—History and Future Perspectives
Adaptogens are pharmacologically active compounds or plant extracts that are associated with the ability to enhance the body’s stability against stress. The intake of adaptogens is associated not only with a better ability to adapt to stress and maintain or normalise metabolic functions but also with better mental and physical ...read more
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
