    Abstract COVID-19 was a global pandemic in the year 2020. Several treatment options failed to cure the disease. Thus, plant-based medicines are becoming a trend nowadays due to their less side effects. Bioactive chemicals from natural sources have been utilised for centuries as treatment options for a variety of ailments. To find out the potent bioactive compounds to counteract COVID-19, we use systems pharmacology and cheminformatics. They use the definitive data and predict the possible outcomes. In this study, we collected a total of 72 phytocompounds from the medicinally important plants such as Garcinia mangostana and Cinnamomum verum, of which 13 potential phytocompounds were identified to be active against the COVID-19 infection based on Swiss Target Prediction and compound target network analysis. These phytocompounds were annotated to identify the specific human receptor that targets COVID-19-specific genes such as MAPK8, MAPK14, ACE, CYP3A4, TLR4 and TYK2. Among these, compounds such as smeathxanthone A, demethylcalabaxanthone, mangostanol, trapezifolixanthone from Garcinia mangostana and camphene from C. verum were putatively target various COVID-19-related genes. Molecular docking results showed that smeathxanthone A and demethylcalabaxanthone exhibit increased binding efficiency towards the COVID-19-related receptor proteins. These compounds also showed efficient putative pharmacoactive properties than the commercial drugs ((R)-remdesivir, favipiravir and hydroxychloroquine) used to cure COVID-19. In conclusion, our study highlights the use of cheminformatics approach to unravel the potent and novel phytocompounds against COVID-19. These phytocompounds may be safer to use, more efficient and less harmful. This study highlights the value of natural products in the search for new drugs and identifies candidates with great promise.

    Abstract Dengue virus (DENV) non-structural protein 1 (NS1) is a versatile quasi-protein essential for the multiplication of the virus. This study applied high-throughput virtual screening (HTVS) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation to detect the potential marine natural compounds against the NS1 of DENV. The structure of the NS1 protein was retrieved from Protein Data Bank with (PDB ID: 4O6B). Missing residues were added using modeler software. Molecular operating environment (MOE) programme was used to prepare the protein before docking. Virtual screening was performed on PyRx software to identify natural compounds retrieved from Comprehensive Marine Natural Products Database (CMNPD) against the NS1 protein, and best-docked compounds were examined by molecular docking and molecular dynamic (MD) simulation. Out of 31,561 marine compounds, the top 10 compounds showed docking scores lesser than -8.0 kcal/mol. One of the best hit compounds, CMNPD6802, was further analyzed using MD simulation study at 100 nanoseconds and Molecular Mechanics with Generalized Born and Surface Area Solvation (MM/GBSA). Based on its total binding energy, determined using the MM/GBSA approach, CMNPD6802 was ranked first. Its pharmacokinetic properties concerning the target protein NS1 were also evaluated. The results of the MD simulation showed that CMNPD6802 remained in close contact with the protein throughout the activation period, mapped using principal component analysis. These findings suggest that CMNPD6802 could serve as an NS1 inhibitor and may be a potential candidate for treating DENV infections.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

    Abstract Probiotics play a critical role in supporting a healthy gut microbiome, which significantly impacts overall health and well-being. While there has been an increase in the availability of probiotic foods in recent years, there may still be limited options and accessibility in certain regions. This study focused on formulating a traditional Indian sweet called laddu enriched with millet and Lactobacillus acidophilus. The formulation of laddu ingredients was optimized using Design Expert software to create an optimal product for testing. The probiotic Lactobacillus acidophilus culture was incorporated into the laddu in three forms: lyophilized, microencapsulated powder, and natural curd. The probiotic foxtail laddu was selected based on specific criteria such as color, odor, and texture. The nutritional analysis revealed that the laddu contained approximately 64.46 g of carbohydrates, 15.13 g of protein, and 5.06 g of fat per 100 g of laddu. A microbial count analysis was performed over a two-month storage period to assess the viability of the incorporated Lactobacillus acidophilus. The results showed that the lyophilized and microencapsulated culture demonstrated good viability, with counts of 6.10 ± 0.09 log CFU/g and 7.43 ± 0.02 log CFU/g, respectively, when stored at 4 °C. In comparison, storage at room temperature resulted in counts of 5.41 ± 0.08 log CFU/g and 6.97 ± 0.02 log CFU/g at the end of the storage period. Based on the findings, the probiotic millet laddu developed in this study has the potential to be a value-added food product that can enhance the overall health of consumers. Incorporating probiotics into traditional food items like laddu offers a convenient and enjoyable way to promote gut health and improve the product's nutritional value.

    Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is a rapidly growing health care emergency across the world. One of the viral proteases called main protease or Mpro, plays a crucial role in the replication of SARS-CoV-2. As the structure of Mpro of SARS-CoV-2 is similar to the Mpro of SARS-CoV-1 (responsible for SARS outbreak between 2002 and 2004), we hypothesize that the inhibitors of SARS-CoV-1 Mpro can also inhibit the Mpro of SARS-CoV-2. To test this hypothesis, a total of 79 isatin derivatives, which inhibited Mpro activity under
