The 90% ethanol-aqueous extract of C. asiatica whole plant, which was prepared at room temperature, contained ten bioactive compounds including rutin, quercetin, kaempferol, chlorogenic acid, fisetin, apigenin, asiatic acid, fumaric acid, betulinic acid and ursolic acid identified by UHPLC method. As our findings, rutin was identified as a promising PLK-1 inhibitor that exhibited significant docking score -13.07 and high stability within the binding pockets of PLK-1 protein as compared to control drug onvansertib. Furthermore, experimental validation is urgently needed for future translational research to develop rutin as potent PLK-1 inhibitor for treating cancer.

There were 61 drugs with significant differences in IC50 between the high and low risk groups, such as BI.2536 and PD-173074...We identified three prognostic genes associated with efferocytosis in HCC and integrated them into a risk prognostic model. These genes not only serve as signatures for predicting HCC prognosis but also offer insights into the treatment of HCC.

Our predictive model offers a novel perspective on the stemness landscape of TNBC. These core genes play key roles in maintaining stemness and also serve as potential molecular targets for personalized therapies aimed at TNBC stem-like cells.

Through bioinformatics analysis, it was discovered that DLX5 exerts an oncogenic role in HPSCC through co-amplification with TP63 and activation of the MAPK signaling pathway, with functional assays further confirming its promotion of malignant phenotypes. High expression of DLX5 correlates positively with immunosuppressive cells, such as M2 macrophages, and negatively with antitumor CD8+ T cells, indicating an association with an immunosuppressive microenvironment. These findings highlight DLX5 as a key determinant of poor prognosis in HPSCC.

Targeting the ATM/PLK1/GPI axis through combinational treatment with rigosertib may therefore represent a therapeutic strategy. Moreover, PLK1 expression and GPI pT215 levels may serve as potential candidate markers for GBM. Collectively, activation of the ATM/PLK1/GPI axis plays a critical role in regulating PPP flux and TMZ resistance in GSCs.

BI-2536 in combination with β-glucan exhibits synergistic anticancer effects in vitro, suggesting a promising strategy for treating colon and gastric cancers.

PKD2 plays a crucial role in human neutrophil survival. Minimizing PKD2 inhibition during small-molecule drug design could be essential to reduce the risk of neutropenia in patients under anti-cancer treatment.

By synergizing genetic epidemiology with network pharmacology, this study delineates shared genetic architecture among thyroid disorders and nominates seven high-confidence targets with therapeutic potential. The integrative framework advances precision medicine by bridging causal plasma protein identification, mechanistic pathway mapping, and drug repurposing, offering a blueprint for multi-omics-driven drug discovery in endocrine pathologies.

The pharmacokinetics study strengthened our results that the identified drugs can be used as a therapeutic for PDAC as they obey Lipinski's rule. In conclusion, identified genes can act as prognostic markers, and drugs could be used as potential therapeutics for PDAC.
