Lymphoma is the sixth most prevalent cancer globally. Non‐Hodgkin's lymphomas are the majority group of lymphomas, with B cells accounting for approximately 95% of these lymphomas. A key feature of B‐cell lymphoma is the functional perturbations of essential biological pathways caused by genetic aberrations. These lead to atypical gene expression, providing cells with a selective growth advantage. Molecular analysis reveals that each lymphoma subtype has unique molecular mutations, which pose challenges in disease management and treatment. Substantial efforts over the last decade have led to the integration of this information into clinical applications, resulting in crucial insights into clinical diagnosis and targeted therapies. However, with the growing need for more effective medication development, we anticipate a deeper understanding of signaling pathways and their interactions to emerge. This review aims to demonstrate how the BCR, specific signaling pathways like PI3K/AKT/mTOR, NF‐kB, and JAK/STAT are diverse in common types of B‐cell lymphoma. Furthermore, it offers a detailed examination of each pathway and a synopsis of the approved or in‐development targeted therapies. In conclusion, finding the activated signaling pathways is crucial for developing effective treatment plans to improve the prognosis of patients with relapsed or refractory lymphoma.

Currently, statins, the β-hydroxy-β-methyl-glutaryl-CoA reductase (HMG-R) inhibitors, are widely used to lower cholesterol, nevertheless, they have several side effects. Consequently, the present study is designed to unravel the cardioprotective role of selected natural monoterpenoids (carvacrol and geraniol) via in-vitro targeting and molecular informatics study of HMG-R. Computational molecular informatics study revealed that carvacrol and geraniol efficiently occupies the catalytic site of HMG-R with the binding affinity (ΔG) of −4.60, and −1.99 Kcal/mol, respectively, and molecular mechanical-generalized Born surface area (MM-GBSA) free binding energy was depicted as −17.05 and −29.48 Kcal/mol, respectively. Further, molecular dynamics simulation was carried out for 100 ns. Carvacrol and geraniol potentially and competitively inhibit the in-vitro HMG-R activity with an IC50 value of 78.23 ± 2.21 µM, and 72.91 ± 2.92 µM, respectively. Thus, both carvacrol and geraniol exhibited significant anti-hypercholesterolemic activity while the molecular simulation studies depicted that the GR complex showed better stability than the carvacrol complex.
