Abstract
Prostate cancer is the most common male cancer in the world. The diagnosis, staging, prognosis and monitoring are usually done with Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA). Biosensors are emerging as a novel analytical technology for PSA detection. They provide several advantages for clinical applications and will benefit clinicians, patients and forensic workers in the future. Among them, electrochemical immunosensors have gained growing interests. Hence, their sensitivity is often improved by modifying them with nanoparticles especially iron oxide (IONP). Functionalized IONP attracted much attention in the fabrication of biosensing systems, due to their multiple properties, such as biocompatibility and signal amplification, and their ability to bind covalently to antibodies via their functional groups. In the present study, two electrochemical immunosensors were investigated for PSA detection. The first one was functionalized with 3- glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane self-assembled monolayer, while the second one was based on iron oxide nanoparticles functionalized with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane. Square wave voltammetry (SWV) has been investigated to follow-up the PSA detection in a phosphate buffer solution, in an artificial serum and in a human serum. The limit of detection (LOD) of both immunosensors was found of order of 10 fg/ml. When estimated in human serum this value increases up to 50 pg/ml.

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
