Article Abstract

Anti-inflammatory phytocompounds from DC leaf extracts were identified by GCMS analysis and its anti-inflammatory potential was evaluated by molecular docking study against inflammatory molecular targets. Three different (Aqueous, Methanol and Petroleum ether) dried leaf extracts of were obtained from soxhlet extraction method. Preliminary phytoconstituents analysis of three different leaf extracts of confirmed the presence of various major classes of bioactive phytoconstituents such as polyphenols (tannins and flavonoids), steroids, alkaloid, coumarin, carbohydrate and terpenoids Among three leaf extracts, methanolic leaf extract possess highest total phenolic content of 77 ± 1.65 µg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g of dry weight of leaf extract, subsequently methanolic leaf extract also shows maximal antioxidant activity (DPPH scavenging activity) of 71.22 ± 1.32% among three different leaf extracts. GC-MS analysis of petroleum ether leaf extract revealed the presence of nine phytocompounds representing 95.43% peak area percentage, among nine identified phytocompounds three phytocompounds of possess anti-inflammatory property namely phytol, 1-Hexyl-2-Nitrohexane and 2-Isopropyl-5-Methylcyclohexyl 3-(1-(4-Chlorophenyl)-3-Oxobutyl)-Coumarin-4-Yl Carbonate were chosen for molecular docking study against four inflammatory receptor targets (COX-2, TNFα, IL-1β and IL-6) and they shows less binding energy with highest docking score ranging from -15.9500 to 5.0869. The present study substantially indicated and proven that anti-inflammatory potential of phytocompounds from leaf extracts which can be exploited for commercial designing of novel anti-inflammatory drug to treat various inflammatory disorders.

Introduction: is a medicinal plant that produces silymarin, which has been demonstrated to possess antiviral, anti-neurodegenerative, and anticancer activities. Silybin (A+B) are two major hepatoprotective flavonolignans produced predominantly in fruits. Several attempts have been made to increase the synthesis of silymarin, or its primary components, silybin (A+B).

In the field of agriculture, particularly within the context of machine learning applications, quality datasets are essential for advancing research and development. To address the challenges of identifying different mango leaf types and recognizing the diverse and unique characteristics of mango varieties in Bangladesh, a comprehensive and publicly accessible dataset titled "BDMANGO" has been created. This dataset includes images essential for research, featuring six mango varieties: Amrapali, Banana, Chaunsa, Fazli, Haribhanga, and Himsagar, which were collected from different locations.

Extracts of plants have been used to manage various insect pests, but little information is available about how effective they are in reducing crop damage or how they affect crop yield and beneficial insects in rice. Extracts from leaves, leaves, leaves, leaves, cloves, and fruits, known to have insecticidal properties, were compared with two checks, viz., Azadirachtin 1% EC and standard insecticide Acephate 95 SG, for their efficacy against yellow stem borer (YSB), (Walk.
