Molecular insights into the discovery of corilagin from as a potential dual inhibitor of SARS-CoV-2 structural proteins.

The spike (S) glycoprotein and nucleocapsid (N) proteins are the crucial pathogenic proteins of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS CoV-2) virus during its interaction with the host. Even FDA-approved drugs like dexamethasone and grazoprevir are not able to curb the viral progression inside the host and are reported with adverse effects on body metabolism. In this context, we aim to report corilagin a novel, potential dual inhibitor of S and N proteins from The bioactive compounds of were subjected to a series of computational investigations including molecular docking simulations, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, binding free energy calculations, and PASS pharmacological analysis.

Plants and endophytes - a partnership for the coumarin production through the microbial systems.

Plant-based secondary metabolite production system is well established. However, host-endophyte interaction in the production of secondary metabolite is a new less exploited area that is overcoming barriers and evolving as one of the prospective fields. Endophytes such as bacteria or fungi have the ability to produce some of the secondary metabolites that mimic the plant metabolites therefore escaping the host defence system.

Overall Survival Prediction of Docetaxel-based Second-line Treatment for Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Objectives: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for 75-85% of all lung cancer diagnoses. This meta-analysis sought to estimate the overall survival (OS) of NSCLC based on randomized control trials which had compared docetaxel with kinase inhibitors, antineoplastic agents, and monoclonal antibodies as second-line chemotherapy for advanced NSCLC.

Methods: We selected 18 randomized control trials which used docetaxel as the standard treatment arm, while kinase inhibitors, antineoplastic agents, and monoclonal antibodies constituted the experimental arm.

Salicylic acid-mediated enhancement of resistance in tomato plants against .

The advancements in the field of cancer research indicate the need for direction towards the development of new drug candidates that are instrumental in a tumour-specific action. The pool of natural compounds proves to be a promising avenue for the discovery of groundbreaking cancer therapeutics.

Eco-Friendly Synthesis of MnO Nanorods Using Fruit Extract and Its Anticancer Potency Against MCF-7 Breast Cancer Cell Line.

Introduction: Cancer disease is known due to its unregulated proliferation of cells that have evolved from the body's regular cells. The disease develops as a result of epigenetic and genetic modifications, tumor suppressor gene inactivation, and oncogene activation. The present work describes an environmentally benign approach for the synthesis of manganese oxide nanoparticles (MnO NPs) using fruit extract (GAE) in an aqueous medium.

Molecular docking analysis of phytocompounds from Acacia farnesiana with protein targets linked to bronchitis.

Acute bronchitis is a lower respiratory tract lung infection that causes bronchial inflammation. The known protein drug targets are peptidoglycan D, D-transpeptidase, and DNA topoisomerase 4 subunit A for bronchitis linked infections. These are the membrane associated macromolecules which takes a major role in the formation of cell wall membrane by synthesising the cross-linked peptidoglycan.

Synthesis, Computational Pharmacokinetics Report, Conceptual DFT-Based Calculations and Anti-Acetylcholinesterase Activity of Hydroxyapatite Nanoparticles Derived From Plant Extract.

Over the years, Alzheimer's disease (AD) treatments have been a major focus, culminating in the identification of promising therapeutic targets. A herbal therapy approach has been required by the demand of AD stage-dependent optimal settings. Present study describes the evaluation of anti-acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles derived from an rhizome extract (AC-HAp NPs).

Synonymous codon usage pattern among the S, M, and L segments in Crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever virus.

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) virus is one among the major zoonosis viral diseases that use the Hyalomma ticks as their transmission vector to cause viral infection to the human and mammalian community. The fatality of infectious is high across the world especially in Africa, Asia, Middle East, and Europe. This study regarding codon usage bias of S, M, and L segments of the CCHF virus pertaining to the host Homo sapiens, reveals in-depth information about the evolutionary characteristics of CCHFV.

Virtual screening of potential phyto-candidates as therapeutic leads against SARS-CoV-2 infection.

The outbreak of novel coronavirus strain (Covid-19) with a high pandemic threat has predict grave public health and economic concerns.
