Article Abstract

Various azo compounds (Modified dyes) have been synthesised by chemical modification of areca nut extract (epicatechin), a plant-based Polyphenolic compound to get semi-synthetic dyes. Three different primary amines namely p- nitro aniline, p-anisidine and aniline, were diazotized to form their corresponding diazonium salts which were further coupled with an areca nut extract. Preliminary characterization of the areca nut extract and the resultant azo compounds (Modified dyes) was carried out in terms of melting point, solubility tests, thin layer chromatography, UV-Visible and FTIR spectroscopy. These modified dyes were further applied on polyester and nylon fabrics and % dye exhaustion was evaluated. Dyed fabrics were further tested for their fastness properties such as wash fastness, rubbing fastness, light fastness and sublimation fastness. The results of the fastness tests indicate that, all the three modified dyes have good dyeability for polyester and nylon fabrics. The dyed fabrics were also tested for ultraviolet protection factor which showed very good ultraviolet protection.

Background: Kyasanur forest disease virus (KFDV) is a tick-borne flavivirus causing debilitating and potentially fatal disease in people in the Western Ghats region of India. The transmission cycle is complex, involving multiple vector and host species, but there are significant gaps in ecological knowledge. Empirical data on pathogen-vector-host interactions and incrimination have not been updated since the last century, despite significant local changes in land use and the expansion of KFD to new areas.

Alkaloids and Nitrosamines in Betel Quid: A Biochemical Exploration of Carcinogenicity.

Chem Biol Interact

January 2025

Department of Community Dental Health, Faculty of Dental Sciences, University of Sri Jayewardenepura, Gangodawila, Nugegoda, Sri Lanka.

Betel quid contains two major ingredients; Areca catechu and Piper betel, often consumed with slaked lime, tobacco, certain flavouring agents, colouring agents, herbs, and spices according to personal preferences. The areca nut alkaloids (arecoline, arecaidine, guvacine, and guvacoline), and tobacco alkaloids (nicotine, nor-nicotine) undergo nitrosation during chewing in the oral cavity with the presence of nitrite and thiocyanate and endogenously. Among the nitrosation products generated areca nut-derived nitrosamine (ADNA): 3-(methylnitrosamino) Propionitrile (MNPN) and the two tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs); N'-nitrosonornicotine (NNN) and 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone) (NNK) are considered Group 1 human carcinogens.

Exosomes derived from human adipose mesenchymal stem cells act as a therapeutic target for oral submucous fibrosis.

J Stomatol Oral Maxillofac Surg

January 2025

Centre of Molecular Medicine and Diagnostics (COMManD), Department of Biochemistry, Saveetha Dental College & Hospitals, Saveetha Institute of Medical and Technical Sciences, Saveetha University, Chennai - 600077, Tamil Nadu, India. Electronic address:

Oral submucosal fibrosis is a highly malignant oral condition that necessitates the use of sophisticated therapeutic procedures. OSF is a multifactorial precancerous condition induced by areca nut chewing, deficiencies in vitamins and trace minerals, immunological aspects, and hereditary factors. Adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells possess the capability for multidirectional activation and are extensively distributed throughout the body.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the impact of areca nut chewing on oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) by examining protein expression in affected tissues.
  • Through advanced proteomic analysis, researchers identified 27 proteins that were differentially expressed in areca nut-related OSCC compared to non-areca nut-related cases and normal tissues.
  • The findings highlight key proteins (LZTS1, MMP10, MYH6, MB, and TNNC1) as potential biomarkers for disease progression and therapy in areca nut-related OSCC.
