Abstract
Cytochrome P450 isozymes (CYPs) from the CYP1 and CYP2 families located primarily in extra-hepatic tissues represent ideal candidates for chemotherapeutic drug development because: 1.) They are usually involved in the metabolism of endogenous substrates that are important for cell homeostasis and growth 2.) The over-expression of certain CYPs has been reported in various malignancies 3.) There has been much clinical success with inhibitors of CYPs involved in hormone synthesis. The most ideal candidates for chemotherapeutic drug development will be discussed in terms of their biological importance and relevant substrates. This review will focus on: 1.) CYP1A1 and CYP1B1 from the CYP1 family because of the dual role these enzymes play in the bioactivation of known carcinogens and endogenous compounds. 2.) The targeting of CYPs in hypoxic environments as a therapeutic strategy. 3.) CYP2J2 and its role in the metabolism of arachidonic acid to epoxyeicosatrienoic acids and angiogenesis will also be examined. While much progress has been made towards understanding the role of CYPs in extrahepatic tissue, future studies focused on the development of selective inhibitors coupled with appropriate delivery systems that would target the tumor micro-environments could lead to significant advancement in chemotherapeutic strategies.

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
