Alhamdulillah. Great news! The paper of my PhD student Muhammad Shah has been accepted in the highly prestigious European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, which has an impact factor of 7.088. This journal is ranked in the top quartile (Q1) and falls under the W-category, emphasizing the significance of our research. We have identified for the first time thiazolidinedione-based potential multitarget antidiabetic therapeutic drug candidates having strong binding affinity towards DPP-4, PTP-1B, α-Amylase, and α-Glucosidase. The work was done by Muhammad Shah during his MS / M. Phil research.
I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation to my exceptional MS student (now in PhD), whose remarkable work played a crucial role in the success of this publication. I am also immensely grateful to my collaborators Dr. Abdul Sadiq and Dr. Muhammad Saeed Jan who contributed to this achievement.
