Machine Learning–Driven Bioprospecting of Cholinergic Medicinal Plants for Putative Leads Against Butyrylcholinesterase Towards Alzheimer’s Care

Biochemistry Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) plays a key role in preserving appropriate cholinergic neurotransmission that is essentially altered in the brains of advanced Alzheimer’s disease (AD), hence a therapeutic target. This study employed a machine learning (ML) bioactivity predictive model to explore the chemical space of potential BChE inhibitors.

Molecular Mechanisms of Anti‐Inflammatory and Immunomodulatory Activities of Key Phytochemicals: A Comprehensive Review

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Phytochemicals derived from medicinal plants represent a rich and largely underexploited source of anti‐inflammatory and immunomodulatory agents. Chronic inflammation and dysregulated immune responses underpin many tropical and global diseases, including infectious, autoimmune, and metabolic disorders. This review examines the spectrum of plant‐derived
