Exploring Natural Compounds as Potential CDK4 Inhibitors for Therapeutic Intervention in Neurodegenerative Diseases through Computational Analysis.
Article in Molecular biotechnology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
CDK4 is a member of the serine-threonine kinase family, which has been found to be overexpressed in a plethora of studies related to neurodegenerative diseases. CDK4 is one of the most validated therapeutic targets for neurodegenerative diseases. Hence, the discovery of potent inhibitors of CDK4 is a promising candidate in the drug discovery field. Firstly, the reference drug Palbociclib was identified from the available literature as a potential candidate against target CDK4. In the present study, the Collection of Open Natural Products (COCONUT) database was accessed for determining potential CDK4 inhibitors using computational approaches based on the Tanimoto algorithm for similarity with the target drug, i.e., Palbociclib. The potential candidates were analyzed using SWISSADME, and the best candidates were filtered based on Lipinski's Rule of 5, Brenk, blood-brain barrier permeability, and Pains parameter. Further, the molecular docking protocol was accessed for the filtered compounds to anticipate the CDK4-ligand binding score, which was validated by the fastDRH web-based server. Based on the best docking score so obtained, the best four natural compounds were chosen for further molecular dynamic simulation to assess their stability with CDK4. In this study, two natural products, with COCONUT Database compound ID-CNP0396493 and CNP0070947, have been identified as the most suitable candidates for neuroprotection.
