    Abstract Newcastle disease virus (NDV), a member of Paramyxoviridae family, is one of the most important pathogens in poultry. To ensure optimal environments for their replication and spread, viruses rely largely on host cellular metabolism. In the present study, we evaluated the small drug molecule niclosamide for its anti-NDV activity. Our study has shown that a sublethal dose of 1 μM niclosamide could drastically reduce NDV replication. The results showed that niclosamide has antiviral activity against NDV infection during in vitro, in ovo and in vivo assays. Pharmacologically inhibiting the glycolytic pathway remarkably reduced NDV RNA synthesis and infectious virion production. Our results suggest that the effect of niclosamide on cellular glycolysis could be the possible reason for the specific anti-NDV effect. This study could help us understand antiviral strategies against similar pathogens and may lead to novel therapeutic approaches through targeted inhibition of specific cellular metabolic pathways.

    Abstract Fibrillation of amyloid beta (Aβ) is the key event in the amyloid neurotoxicity process that induces a chain of toxic events including oxidative stress, caspase activation, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase cleavage, and mitochondrial dysfunction resulting in neuronal loss and memory decline manifesting as clinical dementia in humans. Herein, we report the development of a novel, biologically active supramolecular probe, INHQ, and achieve functional nanoarchitectures via a self-assembly process such that ultralong fibers are achieved spontaneously. With specifically decorated functional groups on INHQ such as imidazole, hydroxyquinoline, hydrophobic chain, and hydroxyquinoline molecules, these ultralong fibers coassembled efficiently with toxic Aβ oligomers and mitigated the amyloid-induced neurotoxicity by blocking the aforementioned biochemical events leading to neuronal damage in mice. These functional ultralong "Artificial Fibers" morphologically resemble the amyloid fibers and provide a higher surface area of interaction that improves its clearance ability against the Aβ aggregates. The efficacy of this novel INHQ molecule was ascertained by its high ability to interact with Aβ. Moreover, this injectable, ultralong INHQ functional "artificial fiber" translocates through the blood-brain barrier and successfully attenuates the amyloid-triggered neuronal damage and pyknosis in the cerebral cortex of wild-type mouse. Utilizing various spectroscopic techniques, morphology analysis, and in vitro, in silico, and in vivo studies, these ultralong INHQ fibers are proven to hold great promise for treating neurological disorders at all stages with a potential to replace the existing medications, reduce complications in the brain, and eradicate the amyloid-triggered neurotoxicity implicated in numerous disorders in human through a rare synergistic mechanism.

    Abstract The 2019 novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) outbreak has caused a large number of deaths, with thousands of confirmed cases worldwide. The present study followed computational approaches to identify B- and T-cell epitopes for the spike (S) glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2 by its interactions with the human leukocyte antigen alleles. We identified 24 peptide stretches on the SARS-CoV-2 S protein that are well conserved among the reported strains. The S protein structure further validated the presence of predicted peptides on the surface, of which 20 are surface exposed and predicted to have reasonable epitope binding efficiency. The work could be useful for understanding the immunodominant regions in the surface protein of SARS-CoV-2 and could potentially help in designing some peptide-based diagnostics. Also, identified T-cell epitopes might be considered for incorporation in vaccine designs.

    Abstract India is home for at least 18 indigenous pig breeds; however, the genetic diversity of Indian pig, Sus scrofa domesticus, population is poorly known. Here, the hypervariable region (HVR) of mitochondrial DNA D-loop (~487 bp) of 214 pigs representing five indigenous and three exotic breeds was sequenced and analysed with reference sequences from other countries. A total of 54 segregating sites among the sequences revealed 56 different haplotypes. Two, 11, eight, seven and six haplotypes were identified with some haplotype sharing in indigenous breeds: Doom, Ghungroo, Mali, Niang-Megha and Tenyi-Vo, respectively. Population pairwise differences (PhiST) (0.409) were found significant (P < 0.001), and variance within breeds (59.1%) was more than that of among breeds (40.9%). Similar topology was noted in phylogeny and median-joining network. Indian domestic pigs from this study were found to possess unique and highly differentiated haplotypes on network analysis. The diverse haplotypes and phylogenetic lineages identified here is the first report on Indian pig breeds that need to be further explored by complete mitochondrial DNA sequencing and analysis. These findings provide indicative insights for conservation and optimum utilization of the porcine genetic resources.
