    Abstract Objective: This study aimed to identify phytocompounds that possess anti-chikungunya virus activity using computational docking and in vitro studies. Methods: A total of 6050 phytocompounds were retrieved from PubChem and other online databases. Compounds were virtually screened against E (3N42) and nsP2 (3TRK) proteins of CHIKV using iGEMDOCK. Molecular docking was performed for the screened compounds using the Maestro Glide module. Finally, screened lead compounds were studied for their in vitro antiviral activity against the Asian and African strains of CHIKV. Results: Among the three lead phytocompounds screened, astragaloside II showed the highest binding energy value of −10.603 kcal/mol, followed by astragaloside IV (-9.007 kcal/mol) and astragaloside III (-6.197 kcal/mol) against the 3TRK target protein whereas astragaloside II showed the highest binding energy value of −10.603 kcal/mol, followed by astragaloside IV (-10.548 kcal/mol) and astragaloside III (-9.539 kcal/mol) against the 3N42 target protein. ADMET analysis revealed that all three lead compounds have non-mutagenic and non-carcinogenic properties. Antiviral studies showed that astragaloside II exhibited antiviral activity at 1.56 µg/mL and 3.12 µg/mL, astragaloside IV at 3.12 µg/mL and 6.25 µg/mL, and astragaloside III at 3.12 µg/mL and 12.5 µg/mL against Asian and African strains of CHIKV, respectively. Conclusion: From the findings of this study, it is concluded that the phytocompounds such as astragaloside II, astragaloside III, and astragaloside IV possess promising in vitro antiviral activity against Asian and African strains of CHIKV.

    Abstract Objectives: This study was aimed to isolate and identify the biosurfactant producing marine bacteria from petroleum hydrocarbons contaminated sediments by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Methods: Soil sample was enriched with diesel (2%) as the sole source of carbon in minimal salt medium for 3 weeks at 28 °C ± 2. Enriched sample was plated on nutrient agar and the organisms are selected based on the colony morphology. Biosurfactant producing efficiency of the isolates was assessed using blood haemolysis, oil displacement test, microplate assay (drop collapse test) and emulsification activity. Identification of the efficient biosurfactant producing isolate was done by gram staining and biochemical tests. Molecular characterization was done using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Results: Totally seven isolates were selected based on colony morphology and among them, the isolate ADY2b was able to reduce surface tension significantly in the oil displacement test and also formed a stable emulsion. The emulsification index (E24) had shown a promising result of 58.33%. The isolate ADY2b was a motile, gram negative rod shaped bacterium and positive for catalase and oxidase. Sequence alignment of the 16S rRNA of the ADY2b strain and database search revealed 98% similarity to Pseudomonas mendocina by BLAST analysis. Conclusion: Seven bacteria were isolated from petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated sediments. Strain ADY2b had shown promising results on the production of biosurfactants and it is capable of increasing the bioavailability of poorly soluble petroleum hydrocarbons. The isolate Pseudomonas mendocina ADY2b obtained in the study had potential to be used in oil degradation purposes.

    Abstract This study was aimed to identify the phytocompounds possessing anti-dengue virus activity using in silico and in vitro approaches. A total of 7000 phytocompounds were virtually screened against protein targets (envelope, NS2b/NS3, and NS5) of dengue virus using iGEMDOCK and individually docked using Maestro 10.7 module of Schrödinger software. In vitro cytotoxicity and antiviral studies were performed using vero cell line. Finally, three phytocompounds namely astragaloside II, astragaloside III, and astragaloside IV were screened based on their highest binding energy values against protein targets. Astragaloside III exhibited the highest interaction energy value of -8.718 kcal/mol and -8.447 kcal/mol against envelope, and NS2b/NS3 targets, respectively. Astragaloside IV exhibited -7.244 kcal/mol against SAM site, and -9.179 kcal/mol against RNA cap site of NS5 targets. In silico ADMET analysis revealed that astragaloside II, III, and IV were non-mutagenic and non-carcinogenic in nature and these compounds were also non-toxic to vero cells upto 1000 μg/mL. Against dengue virus serotype 3, astragaloside II exhibited substantial antiviral activity at the concentration of 1.56 μg/mL followed by astragaloside III at 6.25 μg/mL and astragaloside IV at 12.5 μg/mL. Also, against dengue serotype 1, astragaloside II showed the maximum antiviral activity at 1.56 μg/mL followed by astragaloside III and IV at 3.125 μg/mL. This study concludes that astragaloside II, III, and IV compounds had potential in vitro anti-dengue virus activity.

    Abstract An outbreak of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 has been recognized as a global health concern. Since, no specific antiviral drug is proven effective for treatment against COVID-19, identification of new therapeutics is an urgent need. In this study, flavonoid compounds were analyzed for its inhibitory potential against important protein targets of SARS-CoV-2 using computational approaches. Virtual docking was performed for screening of flavonoid compounds retrieved from PubChem against the main protease of SARS-CoV-2 using COVID-19 docking server. The cut off of dock score was set to >-9 kcal/mol and screened compounds were individually docked against main protease, RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, and spike proteins using AutoDock 4.1 software. Finally, lead flavonoid compounds were subjected to ADMET analysis. A total of 458 flavonoid compounds were virtually screened against main protease target and 36 compounds were selected based on the interaction energy value >-9 kcal/mol. Furthermore, these compounds were individually docked against protein targets and top 10 lead compounds were identified. Among the lead compounds, agathisflavone showed highest binding energy value of -8.4 kcal/mol against main protease, Albireodelphin showed highest dock score of -9.8 kcal/mol and -11.2 kcal/mol against RdRp, and spike proteins, respectively. Based on the high dock score and ADMET properties, top 5 lead molecules such as Albireodelphin, Apigenin 7-(6″-malonylglucoside), Cyanidin-3-(p-coumaroyl)-rutinoside-5-glucoside, Delphinidin 3-O-beta-D-glucoside 5-O-(6-coumaroyl-beta-D-glucoside) and (-)-Maackiain-3-O-glucosyl-6″-O-malonate were identified as potent inhibitors against main protease, RdRp, and spike protein targets of SARS-CoV-2. These all compounds are having non-carcinogenic and non-mutagenic properties. This study finding suggests that the screened compounds include Albireodelphin, Apigenin 7-(6″-malonylglucoside), Cyanidin-3-(p-coumaroyl)-rutinoside-5-glucoside, Delphinidin 3-O-beta-D-glucoside 5-O-(6-coumaroyl-beta-D-glucoside) and (-)-Maackiain-3-O-glucosyl-6″-O-malonate could be the potent inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 targets.
