Article Abstract
The unique geographic features of Taiwan are attributed to the rich indigenous and endemic plant species in Taiwan. These plants serve as resourceful bank for biologically active phytochemicals. Given that these plant-derived chemicals are prototypes of potential drugs for diseases, databases connecting the chemical structures and pharmacological activities may facilitate drug development. To enhance the utility of the data, it is desirable to develop a database of chemical compounds and corresponding activities from indigenous plants in Taiwan. A database of anticancer, antiplatelet, and antituberculosis phytochemicals from indigenous plants in Taiwan was constructed. The database, TIPdb, is composed of a standardized format of published anticancer, antiplatelet, and antituberculosis phytochemicals from indigenous plants in Taiwan. A browse function was implemented for users to browse the database in a taxonomy-based manner. Search functions can be utilized to filter records of interest by botanical name, part, chemical class, or compound name. The structured and searchable database TIPdb was constructed to serve as a comprehensive and standardized resource for anticancer, antiplatelet, and antituberculosis compounds search. The manually curated chemical structures and activities provide a great opportunity to develop quantitative structure-activity relationship models for the high-throughput screening of potential anticancer, antiplatelet, and antituberculosis drugs.

5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is a widely used chemotherapeutic agent, but its hepatotoxic potential poses clinical challenges, as it induces oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis in liver tissue. Butein, a natural chalcone flavonoid that possesses varied biological activity, such as anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antiplatelet effects. This study aimed to evaluate the possible protective effects of Butein against 5-FU-induced hepatotoxicity in rats.

Cancer remains a leading cause of death worldwide, mainly due to chemo resistance and the limited chemotherapy options. 1,8-Naphthyridine (NP) is a promising scaffold in medicinal chemistry, recognized for its wide range of biological activities, including anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antimalarial, antibacterial, antiprotozoal, anti-mycobacterial, and antiplatelet effects. In addition, these synthetic derivatives have been shown to exhibit a wide range of activities, including anti-osteoporotic (α(v)β(3) antagonists), antioxidant, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibition, protein kinase inhibition, ionotropic effects, β-3 antagonism, anti-allergic, antimalarial, gastric anti-secretory, bronchodilator, anticonvulsant, anti-hypertensive, platelet aggregation inhibition, MDR modulation, adenosine receptor agonist, adrenoceptor antagonist, and pesticide activities.

Introduction: Cyclooxygenase, an enzyme that occurs in at least two distinct variants (COX-1 and COX-2), is the target of classical inhibitors, which lack selectivity and inhibit both types of COX. However, a recent approach focuses explicitly on inhibiting COX-2, commonly found in inflamed tissue, resulting in fewer adverse effects than COX-1 inhibitors.
Methods: A series of 4-(4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl)-6-phenylpyrimidin-2-amine derivatives were synthesized through a two-step process.
