SWATH-MS based quantitative proteomics analysis to evaluate the antileishmanial effect of Commiphora wightii- Guggul and amphotericin B on a clinical isolate of Leishmania donovani.

Drug resistance and relapse after treatment of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) with the chemotherapeutic drugs has impeded the VL elimination programme especially, in the endemic region of Bihar, India. Currently, Antimonials (Sb) have been rendered obsolete (Bihar) as frequent treatment failure and relapse in Sb treated patient's warrants greater vigilance and attention to the limited drugs. A clinical isolate of L.

SWATH-MS based quantitative proteomics analysis to evaluate the antileishmanial effect of Commiphora wightii- Guggul and Amphotericin B on a clinical isolate of Leishmania donovani.

The present study provides comprehensive proteomics analyses of the response of L. donovani parasite to pharamacological stress in vitro. Identification of differentially expressed proteins with associated molecular functions and metabolic pathways, clearly provides an insight into the potential mechanism of the antileishmanial effects as well as a comparative response of the parasite to Guggul and AmB.

High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography Method for Simultaneous Determination of Antipsychotic and Medicinally Important Five β-Carboline Alkaloids.

This is the first report on the development and validation of high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) method for simultaneous analysis of five antipsychotic and medicinally important β-carboline alkaloids (βCAs), namely, harmalol, harmaline, harmine, harmane and norharmane. These βCAs occurs in both plant and animal system including human being. In the present investigation, their best separation was achieved using an optimized mobile phase, chloroform: methanol: glacial acetic acid (7.
