In-vitro evaluation of synergism in antioxidant efficiency of Quercetin and Resveratrol

In-vitro evaluation of synergism in antioxidant efficiency of Quercetin and Resveratrol

Plants serve as an excellent source of therapeutic molecules that help in medicinal treatments. The production of large amounts of pure phytocompounds from plant sources for human consumption and the nature of phytocompounds exhibiting toxicity issues at higher dosages lead to the challenge of increasing the therapeutic effect by using low dosages. This current study focuses on extracting two active antioxidant compounds, quercetin (Q) and resveratrol (R), from plant sources and evaluating their ability to exhibit antioxidant synergism through in vitro models. Quercetin and resveratrol were extracted using an ethanol-solvent extraction procedure from Allium cepa, and Vitis vinifera peels, respectively. The extracts were subjected to qualitative and quantitative analysis, column chromatography and then High-Performance Liquid chromatography for purification. DPPH, ABTS+, SOS, and cellular antioxidant assays evaluated the synergistic antioxidant activity of the quercetin and resveratrol complex. The results showed synergistic antioxidant efficacy values approximately as follows: 5.37 % in DPPH, 15.26 % in ABTS+, 11.99 % in SOS, and 19.13 % in cellular antioxidant assays when both molecules were used combinedly. The results promisingly pave the way for a new dimension in nutraceuticals formulation parameters which could trigger combined molecular usage to achieve better results at low dosages.

Deciphering the role of c-MET in Metabolic reprogramming of Head and Neck squamous cell Carcinoma via In Silico analysis

Deciphering the role of c-MET in Metabolic reprogramming of Head and Neck squamous cell Carcinoma via In Silico analysis

Targeting of epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFRs) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFRs) has become a major strategy for the control of head and neck cancer. c-MET, a receptor tyrosine kinase is known to be expressed in many cancers including the head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The c-MET activity has been correlated with many signaling pathways that help the cancer cells to proliferate, migrate and invade into the normal, healthy tissues. The association of c-MET with glycolytic pathway in HNSCC has not been elucidated yet. Since, increased glycolysis has emerged as a major hallmark for cancer cell proliferation, targeting c-MET could bring an impact to inhibit HNSCC progression. In the present study we use various In-silico tools available to identify the association of c-MET with the major metabolic genes such as HK-II (Hexokinase-II), GLUT-1 (Glucose transporter-I), LDH-A (Lactate dehydrogenase-A), PFK-II (Phosphofructokinase-II) and MCT-1 (Monocarboxylate transferase-1) in HNSCC patient datasets available from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Protein networking analysis was used to determine the correlation of c-MET with the metabolic genes. Retrieved sequenced data pathway analysis gives the network of genes associated in the activation of glycolytic pathway. Gene ontology and Enrichr studies provide an insight into c-MET activity in metabolism through molecular, functional and pathway basis in HNSCC. Furthermore, we also have shown a negative correlation of c-MET with immune cell infiltration, suggesting c-MET might have a role in immune suppression in HNSCC patients. Further validation on this study could possibly make c-MET as a potential target to inhibit HNSCC.

Oxidative stress and antioxidants in reproductive health and disorders – Special Issue

Infertility affects 15% of couples worldwide and is a major health issue. One of the primary reasons for infertility is oxidative stress (OS), which is defined as an imbalance in the amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidants. In case of male reproduction, physiological functions of sperm, especially capacitation, hyperactivation, and acrosomal reaction, require a modest level of ROS. However, excessive ROS generation can inactivate vital enzymes and oxidize proteins in spermatozoa, lipid peroxidation or DNA damage, leading to infertility. Major sources of ROS include immature spermatozoa, inflammatory agents, genetic mutations, and altered sex hormone levels. In case of female reproduction, existing literature suggest that ROS affect oocyte development, maturation, follicular atresia, corpus luteum function, and luteolysis. Mechanisms of OS-mediated female reproductive tract disorders resemble those of male infertility to a substantial extent. Since OS is caused by deficiency in antioxidants, adopting a healthier lifestyle and taking antioxidant supplements are used as conventional treatment for OS-mediated infertility.
This special issues aims to highlight the physiological ROS generation, genetic and epigenetic influences on OS and infertility; and also to present an updated in-depth insight on the mechanism involved in OS-induced infertility, including lipid peroxidation, DNA damage, hormone profile imbalance, inflammation, etc. Finally, the special issue intends to discuss the beneficial impacts and limitations of using antioxidants in treating male and female infertility.

Themes:
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
● Oxidative stress in male and female infertility
● Systemic diseases and reproduction: oxidative stress as the key player
● Endocrine disruption, oxidative stress and reproduction
● Infection, inflammation and oxidative stress in reproductive pathophysiology
● Antioxidants in the mitigation of oxidative stress induced reproductive disorders

Regioselective synthesis of indole-thiazolidine-2,4-dione coupled isoxazoles as in vitro tubulin polymerization inhibitors

Herein we synthesized new indole-thiazolidine-2,4-dione coupled isoxazoles (7a-n) via simple reactions like N-propargylation, Knoevenagel condensation and copper (I) catalysed one pot regioselective reactions. All the newly synthesized compounds were characterized by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and Mass spectra and they were screened for in vitro anticancer activity against three human cancer cell lines like A549 (lung), MCF-7 (breast), and SKOV3 (ovarian) using MTT assay and etoposide was used as the standard drug. As per the results the compounds 7e, 7f and 7g where shown selectivity towards A549 cell line with IC50 values of 5.27 µM, 3.14 µM and 6.25 µM respectively and they are high active than etoposide. Further in vitro tubulin polymerization assay on three potent compounds (7e, 7f and 7g) revealed that compounds 7e and 7f have exhibited potency than standard combretastatin A-4 with IC50 values 0.82 and .044 mM respectively.

In Silico Docking Studies of Yucca gloriosa L. Phytoconstituents with TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-13 Receptor Against Asthma

In Silico Docking Studies of Yucca gloriosa L. Phytoconstituents with TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-13 Receptor Against Asthma

Yucca gloriosa L. has been comprehensively assessed in vitro and in vivo for its action against asthma. Y. gloriosa L. is a rich source of phenolic compounds such as gloriosaols A-E and yuccaols A-E, which exhibit potent antioxidant activity. Gloriosaols A-E and yuccaols A-E are structurally related to corticosteroids. The current study describes the in silico docking of some important anti-asthmatic phytoconstituents from the plant Y. gloriosa L. with molecular targets of asthma. Toward the recognition of the binding methods of these pharmacologically dynamic components, molecular modelling studies were carried out with target proteins, i.e., interleukin (IL)-6 (1N26), IL-13 (3LB6) and TNF-α (2AZ5), using in silico molecular docking. The components demonstrated encouraging binding interactions with the amino acid residues at the active sites of these proteins, authenticating their verified efficiency as anti-asthmatic agents. The current research, in addition, provides insight into the possible herbal drug-receptor interaction and synthetic drug montelukast sodium receptor interaction, for the possible management of asthma.

Nanoemulsion of Mentha piperita essential oil active against Mycobacterium strains

Nanoemulsion of Mentha piperita essential oil active against Mycobacterium strains

Present investigation aimed to study the antimycobacterial potential of Mentha piperita essential oil fractions, identify its active constituents by GC-MS and preparation of nanoemulsion from biologically active fraction. Four oil fractions (R1, R2, R3, R4) were collected during hydrodistillation of Mentha piperiata leaves and tested in the two of mycobacterial strains by conventional disc diffusion method. Oil fractions R2 and R3 demonstrated maximum zone of inhibition of 39 mm and 36 mm in Mycobacterium smegmatis, 33 mm and 31 mm in Mycobacterium bovis BCG respectively at a dilution of 75% in DMSO compared to standard drug isoniazid (23 mm in 4 µg/ml). GC-MS analysis of the most active fraction R2 reveals the presence of menthol (70.69%), isomenthone (14.63%) and neomenthol (6.82%) as major constituents. To enhance bioavailability of oil fraction, the nanoemulsions were prepared from R2 by sonication method. Nanoemulsions, N1 and N2 prepared by varying surfactant concentrations were tested in Mycobacterium bovis BCG using quantitative and colorimetric resazurin microtiter assay (REMA). Nanoemulsions, N1 and N2 have shown 97-100 % bacterial growth inhibition at 3.125 % concentration in the culture medium compared with the culture control.
