Introduction: Prostate cancer (PCa) remains a significant global health challenge despite advancements in treatment strategies. There is a need to explore the molecular heterogeneity of PCa to facilitate the development of personalized treatment approaches. This study investigates the molecular heterogeneity of PCa by combining genomic and transcriptomic data using a systems biology approach.

However, the precise molecular mechanisms underlying SC protective effects have yet to be elucidated. This research suggests that SC reduces the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) by activating the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPAR-γ) in mice suffering from AP.

Researchers have been studying protein domain mutations to understand how they affect the progression and treatment of cancer. These mutations can significantly impact the development and spread of cancer by changing the protein structure, function, and signalling pathways.

Though numerous agents have enriched the literature, still there exist challenges, with the availability of different targets and possible cross-reactivity. Herein we have chosen the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) as the target of interest and investigated the potential of pyrido fused imidazo[4,5-]quinoline derivatives to bind strongly to the active site, thereby inhibiting the progression of various types of tumors.
