Molecular docking as a tool for the discovery of molecular targets of nutraceuticals in diseases management

This review explains how scientists use computer simulations to understand how natural food compounds (called nutraceuticals) interact with disease-causing molecules in the body. By using molecular docking software, researchers can predict which compounds might fight diseases like cancer and heart disease before conducting expensive laboratory tests. The review shows that many common foods like turmeric, grapes, and green tea contain compounds that could potentially treat various diseases by targeting specific proteins and pathways involved in disease development.

Identification of (Z)-2-benzylidene-dihydroimidazothiazolone derivatives as tyrosinase inhibitors: Anti-melanogenic effects and in silico studies

Scientists developed new chemical compounds that can block tyrosinase, an enzyme that produces skin pigment (melanin). These new compounds, called DHIT derivatives, work much better than existing skin lightening agents like kojic acid and appear to be safer. The best compound tested was 100 times more effective at stopping melanin production than kojic acid in laboratory tests and showed no toxicity to cells.
