    Abstract Alpha-glucosidase (maltase, sucrase, isomaltase and glucoamylase) activities which are involved in carbohydrate metabolism are present in human intestinal maltase-glucoamylase (MGAM) and sucrase-isomaltase (SI). Hence, these proteins are important targets to identify drugs against postprandial hyperglycemia thereby for diabetes. To find natural-based drugs against MGAM and SI, Artocarpus heterophyllus leaf was explored for MGAM and SI inhibition in in vitro and in silico. A. heterophyllus leaf aqueous active fraction (AHL-AAF) was prepared using Soxhlet extraction followed by silica column chromatography. The phytoconstituents of AHL-AAF were determined using LC-ESI-MS/MS. AHL-AAF showed dose-dependent and mixed inhibition against maltase (IC50 = 460 µg/ml; Ki = 300 µg/ml), glucoamylase (IC50 = 780 µg/ml; Ki = 480 µg/ml), sucrase (IC50 = 900 µg/ml, Ki = 504 µg/ml) and isomaltase (IC50 = 860 µg/ml, Ki = 400 µg/ml). AHL-AAF phytoconstituents interaction with N-terminal (Nt) and C-terminal (Ct) subunits of human MGAM and SI was analyzed using induced-fit docking, molecular dynamics (MD), and binding free energy calculation. In docking studies, rhamnosyl hexosyl methyl quercetin (RHMQ), P-coumaryl-O-16-hydroxy palmitic acid (PCHP), and spirostanol interacted with active site amino acids of human MGAM and SI. Among these RHMQ stably interacted with all the subunits (Nt-MGAM, Ct-MGAM, Nt-SI and Ct-SI) whereas PCHP with Ct-MGAM and Nt-SI during MD analysis. In molecular docking, the docking score of RHMQ with NtMGAM, CtMGAM, NtSI and CtSI was -8.48, -12.88, -11.98 and -11.37 kcal/mol. The docking score of PCHP for CtMGAM and NtSI was -8.59 and -8.4 kcal/mol, respectively. After MD simulation, the root mean square deviation (RMSD) and root mean square fluctuation (RMSF) values further confirmed the stable protein-ligand interaction. The RMSD value of all the complexes were around 2.5 Å and the corresponding RMSF values were also quite low. In MM/GBSA analysis, the involvement of Van der Waals and lipophilic energy in the protein/ligand interactions are understood. Further binding free energy for Nt-MGAM-PCHP, Nt-MGAM-RHMQ, Nt-SI-PCHP, Nt-SI-RHMQ, Ct-MGAM-PCHP, Ct-MGAM-RHMQ and Ct-SI-RHMQ complexes was found to be -24.94, -46.60, -46.56, -44.48, -40.3, -41.86 and -19.39 kcal/mol, respectively. Altogether, AHL-AAF showed inhibition of α-glucosidase activities of MGAM and SI. AHL-AAF could be further studied for its effect on diabetes in in vivo.

    Abstract In recent years, derivatives of natural compounds are synthesized to increase the bioavailability, pharmacology, and pharmacokinetics properties. The naphthoquinone, plumbagin (PLU), is well known for its anticancer activity. However, the clinical use of PLU is hindered due to its toxicity. Previous reports have shown that modification of PLU at 5'-hydroxyl group has reduced its toxicity towards normal cell line. In accordance, in the present study, 5'-hydroxyl group of PLU was esterified with S-allyl cysteine (SAC) to obtain PLU-SAC ester. The drug-likeness of PLU-SAC was understood by in silico ADME analysis. PLU-SAC was characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Molecular docking and dynamics simulation analysis revealed the interaction of PLU-SAC with proteins of interest in cancer therapy such as human estrogen receptor α, tumor protein p53 negative regulator mouse double minute 2, and cyclin-dependent kinase 2. MMGBSA calculation showed the favorable binding energy which in turn demonstrated the stable binding of PLU-SAC with these proteins. PLU-SAC showed apoptosis in breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) by inducing oxidative stress, disturbing mitochondrial function, arresting cells at G1 phase of cell cycle, and initiating DNA fragmentation. However, PLU-SAC did not show toxicity towards normal Vero cell line. PLU-SAC was synthesized and structurally characterized, and its anticancer activity was determined by in silico and in vitro analysis.

    Abstract In recent years, derivatives of natural compounds are synthesized to increase the bioavailability, pharmacology, and pharmacokinetics properties. The naphthoquinone, plumbagin (PLU), is well known for its anticancer activity. However, the clinical use of PLU is hindered due to its toxicity. Previous reports have shown that modification of PLU at 5ʹ-hydroxyl group has reduced its toxicity towards normal cell line.

    Abstract Neuroprotective effect of astaxanthin-s-allyl cysteine diester (AST-SAC) against high glucose (HG)-induced oxidative stress in in vitro and cognitive decline under diabetes conditions in in vivo has been explored. Pretreatment of AST-SAC (5, 10 and 15 μM) dose-dependently preserved the neuronal cells (SH-SY5Y) viability against HG toxicity through i) decreasing oxidative stress (decreasing reactive oxygen species generation and increasing endogenous antioxidants level); ii) protecting mitochondrial function [oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) complexes activity and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP)]; and iii) decreasing p53 level thereby subsequently decreasing the level of apoptotic marker proteins. Male Spraque-Dawley rats were orally administered AST-SAC (1 mg/kg/day) for 45 days in streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus (DM) rats. AST-SAC administration prevented the loss of spatial memory in DM rats as determined using the novel object location test. AST-SAC administration alleviated the DM-induced injury in brain such as increased cholinesterases activity, elevated oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. Altogether, the results from the present study demonstrated that AST-SAC averted the neuronal apoptosis and preserved the cognitive function against HG toxicity under DM conditions.

    Abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) pathogenesis is initiated by the binding of SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein with the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptor (ACE2R) on the host cell surface. The receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the S protein mediates the binding and is more prone to mutations resulting in the generation of different variants. Recently, molecules with the potential to inhibit the interaction of S protein with ACE2R have been of interest due to their therapeutic value. In this context, the present work was performed to identify potential RBD binders from the Indian medicinal plant's phytochemical database through virtual screening, molecular docking, and molecular dynamic simulation. Briefly, 1578 compounds filtered from 9596 phytochemicals were chosen for screening against the RBD of the native SARS-CoV-2 S protein. Based on the binding energy, the top 30 compounds were selected and re-docked individually against the native and five variants of concern (VOCs: alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and omicron) of SARS-CoV-2. Four phytochemicals, namely withanolide F, serotobenine, orobanchol, and gibberellin A51, were found to be potential RBD binders in native and all SARS-CoV-2 VOCs. Among the four, withanolide F exhibited lower binding energy (- 10.84 to - 8.56 kcal/mol) and better ligand efficiency (- 0.3 to - 0.25) against all forms of RBD and hence was subjected to a 100 ns MD simulation which confirmed its stringent binding to the RBDs in native and VOCs. The study prioritizes withanolide F as a prospective COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease) therapeutic agent based on the observations. It warrants deeper investigations into the four promising leads for understanding their precise therapeutic value.

    Abstract Increased accumulation of endogenous neurotoxin quinolinic acid has been found in various neurodegenerative diseases. Oxidative stress caused by quinolinic acid is considered as imperative factor for its toxicity. Asiatic acid, a natural triterpene is widely studied for its various medicinal values. In the present study the effects of asiatic acid in preventing the cognitive impairment and oxidative stress caused by quinolinic acid was investigated. Male Spraque-Dawley rats were orally administered asiatic acid (30 mg/kg/day) for 28 days, while quinolinic acid toxicity-induced animals received quinolinic acid (1.5 mmol/kg/day) from day 15 to day 28 for 14 days. Asiatic acid administration prevented the loss of spatial memory caused due to quinolinic acid-induced toxicity as determined using the novel object location test. In addition, asiatic acid administration alleviated the deleterious effect of quinolinic acid in brain such as increased oxidative stress, decreased antioxidant status and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation dysfunction. These data demonstrate that asiatic acid through its potent antioxidant and cognition enhancement property prevented the neuronal impairments caused by quinolinic acid.

    Abstract s-allyl glutathione (SAG) an analogue of glutathione is explored for its antioxidative and liver protection property in recent years. Selenium nanoparticles (Sh-SeNPs) were synthesized using medicinal plant Spermacoce hispida and conjugated with SAG (SAG-Sh-SeNPs). SAG-Sh-SeNPs and Sh-SeNPs were characterized using by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Transmission electron microscopy, Energy dispersive X-ray analysis, X-ray diffraction analysis and zeta potential analysis. SAG-Sh-SeNPs and Sh-SeNPs were evaluated against acetaminophen (APAP)-induced liver and kidney injury in rat. Pretreatment of NPs attenuated the APAP toxicity-induced elevation of kidney and liver injury markers in the blood circulation. Histological observation showed that NPs pretreatment protected the morphology of liver and kidney tissue. SAG-Sh-SeNPs showed enhanced protection against APAP toxicity in comparison to Sh-SeNPs due to synergistic effect of SAG and Sh-SeNPs. SAG-Sh-SeNPs protected the liver and kidney against APAP toxicity through reducing oxidative stress, enhancing endogenous antioxidants and protecting mitochondrial functions.
