Synthesis, biological profile and computational insights of new derivatives of benzo [B][1,4] diazepines as prospective anticancer agents for inhibiting the CDK-2 protein.

In the current work, a new series of benzo[b][1, 4] diazepines ( to was synthesized and screened against three different human cancer cell lines, HepG2 (hepatocellular carcinoma), HeLa (cervical cancer) and MCF-7 (breast cancer), by employing MTT (MTT 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-Diphenyltetrazolium Bromide) assay. The outcomes of screening revealed that all the compounds exhibited momentous anticancer activity, most notably against the MCF-7 cell line by compounds. Further, network pharmacology, UALCAN analysis, molecular docking, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and density functional theory calculations were conducted to explore expression analysis, pharmacokinetics, toxicity profiles and binding interactions of the compounds.

Emerging porcine Enterovirus G infections, epidemiological, complete genome sequencing, evolutionary and risk factor analysis in India.

The current study reports the in-depth analysis of the epidemiology, risk factors, and molecular characterization of a complete genome of Enterovirus G (EV-G) isolated from Indian pigs. We analysed several genes of EV-G isolates collected from various provinces in India, using phylogenetic analysis, recombination detection, SimPlot, and selection pressure analyses. Our analysis of 534 porcine faecal samples revealed that 11.

Epidemiological and Molecular Characterization of Isolated from Small Ruminants in Kashmir Valley, India.

Background: Cystic Echinococcosis (CE) is an emergent or re-emergent zoonosis and remains a public health and economic problem all over the world.

Methods: The present study was carried on the prevalence and genotypes of present in small ruminants in Kashmir valley. A total of 2100, sheep (2052) and goats (48), slaughtered or spontaneously dead, from various areas of Kashmir valley were screened for the presence of hydatidosis.

Therapeutic Potential of Medicinal Plant Proteins: Present Status and Future Perspectives.

Biologically active molecules obtained from plant sources, mostly including secondary metabolites, have been considered to be of immense value with respect to the treatment of various human diseases. However, some inevitable limitations associated with these secondary metabolites like high cytotoxicity, low bioavailability, poor absorption, low abundance, improper metabolism, etc., have forced the scientific community to explore medicinal plants for alternate biologically active molecules.

Amelioration of hyperglycaemia and modulation of antioxidant status by Alcea rosea seeds in alloxan-induced diabetic rats.

Context: Alcea rosea L. (Malvaceae) has various medicinal uses including anticancer, anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. However, there is no report on its antidiabetic activity.

A Current Perspective on the Inhibition of Cholinesterase by Natural and Synthetic Inhibitors.

Majority of the observed cognitive and behavioral changes in Alzheimer's disease are postulated to be due to the deficiencies in cholinergic pathways of the brain. Enhancement of cholinergic transmission may thus stimulate the cholinergic receptors or prolong the availability of acetylcholine in synaptic cleft and hence improve the Alzheimer's disease associated symptoms. Of these two, the inhibition of cholinesterases (Acetylcholinesterase and Butyrylcholinesterase) by cholinesterase inhibitors is suggested to be a promising strategy.

Unique Medicinal Properties of Withania somnifera: Phytochemical Constituents and Protein Component.

Withania somnifera is an important medicinal herb that has been widely used for the treatment of different clinical conditions. The overall medicinal properties of Withania somnifera make it a viable therapeutic agent for addressing anxiety, cancer, microbial infection, immunomodulation, and neurodegenerative disorders. Biochemical constituents of Withania somnifera like withanolideA, withanolide D, withaferin A and withaniamides play an important role in its pharmacological properties.

Antioxidant and hepatoprotective effects of Crataegus songarica methanol extract.

The protective activity of the methanolic extract of the Crataegus songarica leaves was investigated against CCl4- and paracetamol-induced liver damage. On folklore levels, this plant is popularly used to treat various toxicological diseases. We evaluated both in vitro and ex vivo antioxidant activity of C.

Soil-transmitted helminths in relation to hemoglobin status among school children of the Kashmir Valley.

Soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) remain a major threat to the health of children throughout the world, mostly in developing nations. The aim of the present study was to determine any relationship between STHs and hemoglobin status in school children of Kashmir Valley (India). Stool and blood samples were collected from 382 male and female school children in the age group of 5-15 yr from all 6 school districts of the Kashmir Valley.
