To enhance the clinical effect of antifungal medications for treating deadly fungal infections there is an increasing demand for novel treatments. Exploration of multiple-drug targeting in antifungal therapeutics is the need of the present era. In this pursuit, we identified potent antifungal compounds that were directed towards the multiple virulent targets in . Quinoxaline di-N-oxide and piperazine derivatives were identified to exhibit antifungal activities. 03 bioactive compounds were identified from the docking results and antifungal activity. Furthermore, these compounds which were combined with the alkaline extract of to make the aqueous phase, an oil phase containing cinnamon oil or clove oil and a combination of surfactants was made to prepare a bioactive composite emulsion. A significant antimycotic activity was seen for the bioactive composite emulsion when compared with the clinically used antifungal drugs. Our results indicate the synergy and potentiation of antimycotic drugs based on integrative medicine.

Skeletal muscle (SKM) has crucial roles in locomotor activity and posture within the body and also functions have been recognized as an actively secretory organ. Numerous bioactive molecules are secreted by SKM and transported by extracellular vesicles (EVs), a novel class of mediators of communication between cells and organs that contain various types of cargo molecules including lipids, proteins and nucleic acids. SKM-derived EVs (SKM-EVs) are intercellular communicators with significant roles in the crosstalk between SKM and other organs.

As a complex and dynamically regulated process, wound healing is collaboratively carried out by multiple types of cells. However, the precise mechanisms by which these cells contribute to immune regulation are not yet fully understood. Although research on bone regeneration has been quite extensive, the application of bioactive glass (BG) in skin tissue repair remains still relatively underexplored.

Background: In recent years, depression has become a global public health concern, and one of the common concomitant symptoms are diminished sexual motivation and impaired sexual performance. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential effects of oligosaccharides (MOO) on depression and its concomitant symptom, sexual dysfunction.
Methods: Chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS)-induced depression model was constructed, and the effects of MOO on depression and sexual abilities were evaluated.

Macroalgae growing in the polar regions are exposed to extreme environment conditions and may induce differences in the structural and bioactive properties of their polysaccharides. Six brown macroalgae viz. kelp species - Saccharina latissima, Laminaria digitata, and Alaria esculenta; rockweed Fucus distichus; and filamentous macroalgae - Chorda filum and Chordaria flageliformis, from the Arctic were investigated for polysaccharides and their bioactivity.
