Major Phytoconstituents of were explored for their anti-viral potential against dengue virus (DENV). The docking of these phytoconstituents was performed on 7 viral targets- 4 DENV non structural protein (NS5-SAM binding domain, NS5 RdRp domain, NS3 helicase & NS2B-NS3 protease) and 3 DENV structural proteins (Envelope protein-β-OD domain, stem domain & Domain III). The analysis was done on the basis of binding affinity, type of interactions (bond type and distance) and interaction with amino acids significant in viral replication. The top 5 phytoconstituents with best docking score have been reported.

Unlabelled: Colorectal cancer is one of the most prevalent malignancies worldwide and a leading cause of mortality. Chemotherapy medications are often limited in use due to issues like drug resistance, P-glycoprotein efflux, and relapse of chemotherapy. In this study, we formulated a nanosuspension with curcumin and nimbin to address these limitations and assessed its anticancer potential using molecular docking and MTT assay.

Background: Amongst all neoplastic diseases, breast cancer represents a major cause of death among the female population in developed and developing countries. Since alkaloid drugs are commonly used in chemotherapy to manage this disease, this study investigated the anti-proliferative effectiveness of alkaloid-rich fractions of Senna didymobotrya leaves only and with laser irradiation against MCF-7 breast cancer cells.
Method And Materials: A powdered sample of the plant leaves was extracted with 50% ethanol, filtered and their pH was adjusted with acid and base solution followed by partitioning with chloroform and ethyl acetate solvents.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) can be treated with various medications. However, individuals in underdeveloped countries may face challenges in using these treatments due to side effects and high costs. Anti-diabetic medications can inhibit enzymes, such as α-amylase, which is responsible for breaking down carbohydrates.

Background: Extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 (ERK1) belongs to mitogen-activated protein kinases, which are essential for memory formation, cognitive function, and synaptic plasticity. During Alzheimer's disease (AD), ERK1 phosphorylates tau at 15 phosphorylation sites, leading to the formation of neurofibrillary tangles. The overactivation of ERK1 in microglia promotes the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which results in neuroinflammation.

Background & Aim: Hemolytic anemia is a blood disorder whose incidence is increasing in the world in recent years especially after the pandemic. Conventional treatments include use of steroids and immunosuppresants that are accompanied by numerous adverse effects. With growing interest in using complex multi-component formulations for multi-targeted therapy, the present study aims to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of a traditional herbomineral preparation, , which has been traditionally used as a supplement in iron-deficiency anemia, against phenylhydrazine-induced hemolytic anemia in rodent models.
