Abstract
Cancer kinome is now well organized as an important target for a new class of cancer drugs. There are more than 500 members in the kinase family in which some of them are clinically analysed, while the rest are under investigation for potential therapeutic applications. Phosphorylation, major function of kinases is one of the most significant signal transduction mechanism in which intercellular signals regulate intracellular processes like ion transport, hormone responses and cellular proliferation. Any deregulation of kinase function may lead to tumor progression and other disorders such as immunological, neurological , metabolic including also infectious diseases. This led to the necessity in the development of kinase inhibitors as therapeutic agent. Herein we discuss about different types of kinases and their inhibitors in various types of cancers. This review portrays a broad overview of the origin of kinases, discovery, the characterization and mode of action of kinase inhibitors in cancer therapy.
Keywords: Kinases, kinase inhibitors, cancer, small molecules, kinase family, anticancer therapy.

Drug-Targeted Approach with Polymer Nanocomposites for Improved Therapeutics
Polymer nanocomposites have been recognized as an advanced and cutting-edge technique in drug targeting administration. These materials combine the unique features of nanoparticles with the adaptability of polymers to produce highly personalized drug administration devices. Integrating nanoparticles containing pharmaceuticals into a polymer matrix enables researchers to regulate the rates at ...read more
RNA Molecules in the Treatment of Human Diseases
Messenger and non-coding RNAs, including long and small transcripts, are mediators of gene expression. Gene expression at the RNA level shows significant aberrations in human diseases, including cancer, leukemia, lymphoma, cardiovascular diseases, and neurological disorders. Human transcripts serve either as biomarkers of diagnosis, prognosis, prediction of treatment response, and/or therapy ...read more
Therapeutic Chemical and RNA Design with Artificial Intelligence
Computer-Aided Drug Design (CADD) has emerged as a fundamental component of modern drug discovery. Molecular docking facilitates virtual screening on a large scale through structural simulations. However, traditional CADD approaches face significant limitations, as they can only screen known compounds from existing libraries. PubChem, as the most widely used chemical ...read more
