Experimental validation and molecular docking to explore the active components of cannabis in testicular function and sperm quality modulations in rats.

Background: Data available support that ninety percent of male infertility cases are due to low sperm counts. There is a scarcity of data on the medicinal effects of cannabis on fertility. This study evaluated testicular function and sperm quality modulation with cannabis in rats.

In silico studies of selected multi-drug targeting against 3CLpro and nsp12 RNA-dependent RNA-polymerase proteins of SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV.

Unlabelled: An outbreak of a cluster of viral pneumonia cases, subsequently identified as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), due to a novel SARS-CoV-2 necessitates an urgent need for a vaccine to prevent infection or an approved medication for a cure. In our in silico molecular docking study, a total of 173 compounds, including FDA-approved antiviral drugs, with good ADME descriptors, and some other nucleotide analogues were screened. The results show that these compounds demonstrate strong binding affinity for the residues at the active sites of RNA-dependent RNA-polymerase (RdRp) modelled structures and Chymotrypsinlike cysteine protease (3CLpro) of the HCoV proteins.

Investigation of the reactivity indices for the formation of substituted dinitroanilines and correlations to their dockings on α-tubulin of Plasmodium falciparum.

The local and global reactivity descriptors of substituted dinitroaniline analogues were investigated using M06-2X/6-31 + G(d,p) method. It was observed that NH (m = 3.53 eV; p = 3.
