Unlabelled: High level of exogenous ROS in the circulation affects RBC membrane integrity which facilitates the generation of endogenous RBC ROS, implicated in series of physiological changes primarily associated with thrombosis and vital tissue damage. Although, (pearl millet stores abundance of proteins, their therapeutic potential is least explored. Thus, the purpose of this study is to examine the role of Protein Extract (PGE) on oxidative stress induced cell/tissue damage and thrombosis.

The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV-Vis, and NMR spectroscopy. The crystal structures of three Schiff bases were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction.

Currently, antioxidants from natural sources are in high demand due to their beneficial role in the management of said diseases.
Aim: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the protective effect of sorghum protein buffer extract (SBE) on sodium nitrite-induced oxidative stress and thrombosis.
The current study deals with the purification and characterization of non-enzymatic glycoprotein (NEGp) from flax seed buffer extract. Sephadex G-100 and DEAE-A25 column chromatography techniques were employed to isolate NEGp. NEGp showed single sharp band at 29 kDa region on 10% SDS-PAGE, and under reduced and non-reduced conditions revealed its monomeric nature.

RBC-protecting activity of MECCC was evaluated using assays, such as DPPH, level of lipid peroxidation, protein carbonyl content, superoxide dismutase and catalase as a marker of oxidative stress whereas, platelet aggregation inhibition was performed using human platelet-rich plasma (PRP). MECCC showed about 76% of DPPH-scavenging activity, with an IC50 value of 71.

These derivatives are synthesized and characterized using spectroscopy (FT-IR, H NMR, and mass spectroscopy) and single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. The inhibitory effects of these compounds were evaluated by the α-glucosidase inhibitory assay and shows the activity in the range of IC = 0.
