An improved DNA extraction method in okra for rapid PCR detection of Okra enation leaf curl virus from diverse Indian regions.

The extraction of DNA from okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) is challenging due to its high mucilage and polysaccharide content, which can hinder both the yield and quality of DNA. In this study, an improved DNA isolation method is described incorporating a key modification being the use of solution I (1 M NaCl and 2% Sarcosyl) as a pre-treatment before applying the CTAB buffer, resulting in high-purity genomic DNA in just 1 h and 45 min., making it suitable for handling large sample sizes due to its rapid processing capabilities.

Therapeutic Potential of Herbal Compounds in Curing Dysmenorrhea Naturally: A Review.

Dysmenorrhea being an effect of uterine contractions in the endometrium is a consequential health concern that may hamper a woman quality of life and disrupt everyday activities. It is described as pain throughout the menstrual cycle which is one of the most prominent causes of pelvic pain in women. Traditional medicine and Ayurveda has for centuries stipulated and employed herbs to treat a variety of illnesses.

Design, synthesis, molecular dynamics and gene silencing studies of novel therapeutic HIF-1α siRNAs in hypoxic cancer cells.

Hypoxia inducible factors (HIFs) are heterodimeric proteins that belong to a small group of transcription factors, which mainly regulates transcription of genes under hypoxic conditions. Particularly, oxygen sensing subunit of HIF-1α is a predominant subtype that heterodimerizes with oxygen-independent HIF-1β subunit, to trigger the transcription of hypoxia responsive genes. Due to poor supply of blood and rapid division of cancerous cells, tumor microenvironment exhibits low oxygen condition and therefore increased levels of HIF-1α.

Asiatic acid impedes NSCLC progression by inhibiting COX-2 and modulating PI3K signaling.

Non-small cell lung cancer comprises up to 85% of lung cancer cases and has a poor prognosis. At present, there are still no effective treatments for this illness. Evidence suggests that the prostaglandin [cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)] and leukotriene [lipoxygenase-5 (5-LOX)] pathways are involved in lung cancer carcinogenesis.

The P(III)-Amidite Based Synthesis of Stable Isotope Labeled mRNA-Cap-Structures Enables their Sensitive Quantitation from Brain Tissue.

The 5' cap structure is crucial to mRNA function, with its diverse methylation patterns depending on the cellular state. Sensitive analytical methods are sought after to quantify this cap variety also referred to as cap epitranscriptome. To address a bottleneck for accurate and precise quantitation, we report a facile and fast access to high-quality synthetic standards via a new route, involving P(III)-amidite chemistry.

Green enrichment of argan oil ( L.) with thyme ( L.) and oregano ( L.) leaves: Evaluating quality and stability improvements.

Effect of different blanching methods on kinetics of physico-chemical, functional properties, and enzyme inactivation in baby corn.

Baby corn, characterized by its high water activity and elevated respiration rate, poses a formidable obstacle to prolonged storage under standard ambient conditions and necessitates specialized treatments for transportation to distant locations. One of the primary postharvest challenges associated with baby corn is the occurrence of brown pigment formation because of enzymatic browning at the apex of its immature ovules, cut surfaces, and silk attached to the young ears. The present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of different blanching treatments on peroxidase inactivation, physicochemical properties, and functional properties of baby corn.

Alkaloid-based modulators of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway for cancer therapy: Understandings from pharmacological point of view.

This review aims to summarize the role of alkaloids as potential modulators of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR (PAMT) pathway in cancer therapy. The PAMT pathway plays a critical role in cell growth, survival, and metabolism, and its dysregulation contributes to cancer hallmarks. In healthy cells, this pathway is tightly controlled.
