    Abstract Arsenic (As) traces have been reported worldwide in vegetables and crops cultivated in As-polluted soils. Being carcinogenic, the presence of As in edibles is of great concern as it ultimately reaches humans and animals through the food chain. Besides, As toxicity adversely affects the growth, physiology, metabolism, and productivity of crops. In the present study, Trigonella foenum-graecum (Fenugreek) was exposed to the As stress (0, 50, 100, and 150 μM sodium arsenate) for a week. Further, evaluation of As accumulation in roots and shoots, magnitude and visualization of oxyradicals, and thiol-based defence offered by Fenugreek was assessed. The root and leaf accumulated 258-453 μg g

    Abstract Arsenic (As) traces have been reported worldwide in vegetables and crops cultivated in As-polluted soils. Being carcinogenic, the presence of As in edibles is of great concern as it ultimately reaches humans and animals through the food chain. Besides, As toxicity adversely affects the growth, physiology, metabolism, and productivity of crops. In the present study, Trigonella foenum-graecum (Fenugreek) was exposed to the As stress (0, 50, 100, and 150 μM sodium arsenate) for a week. Further, evaluation of As accumulation in roots and shoots, magnitude and visualization of oxyradicals, and thiol-based defence offered by Fenugreek was assessed. The root and leaf accumulated 258–453 μg g⁻¹ dry wt (DW) and 81.4–102.1 μg g⁻¹ DW of As, respectively. An arsenic-mediated decline in the growth index and increase in oxidative stress was noted. Arsenic stress modulated the content of thiol compounds; especially cysteine content increased from 0.36 to 0.43 µmole g⁻¹ FW protein was noted. Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD)–based analysis showed DNA damage in As-treated plants. Health risk assessment parameters showed that As concentration in the consumable plant shoot was below the critical hazard level (hazard quotient < 1). Moreover, T. foenum-graecum showed varied responses to As-induced oxidative stress with applied concentrations (150 μM being more toxic than lower concentrations). In addition, the RAPD profile and level of thiol compounds were proved significant biomarkers to assess the As toxicity in plants. The conclusion of this study will help users of fenugreek to have a clue and create awareness regarding the consumption.

    Abstract Nanodrugs offer promising alternatives to conventionally used over the counter drugs. Compared to its free form, therapeutic benefits, and gastric tissue safety of naproxen sodium nanoformulation (NpNF) were recently demonstrated. Essential regulatory safety data for this formulation are, however, not available. To address this, male and female BALB/c mice were subjected to acute and 14-day repeated-oral dose assessments. Our data indicate that NpNF was well tolerated up to 2000 mg/kg b.w. A 14-day subacute toxicity testing revealed that the oral administration of low dose (30 mg/kg) NpNF did not produce any adverse effects on blood profile and serum biochemical parameters. Levels of oxidative stress markers and antioxidant enzymes neared normal. Histology of selected tissues also showed no evidence of toxicity. In contrast, a ten-fold increase in NpNF dosage (300 mg/kg), demonstrated, irrespective of gender, mild to moderate toxicity (p < 0.05) in the brain, stomach, and heart tissues, while ROS, LPO, CAT, SOD, POD, and GSH levels remained unaffected in the liver, kidney, spleen, testis, and seminal vesicles. No effect on serum biochemical parameters, overall indicated a no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) is 300 mg/kg. Further increase in dosage (1000 mg/kg) significantly altered all parameters demonstrating that high dose is toxic.

    Abstract Use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is one of the leading causes of gastric ulcers. Excellent therapeutic properties have made the use of NSAIDs widespread. Nano-drug delivery to reduce systemic toxicity through modulating drug pharmacokinetics may be a better choice. Presently, we investigated if naproxen nanoformulation (PVA capped NPRS-MgO NPs) is less toxic to be used as an alternative drug. Groups of mice were assigned to control, NPRS-treated, CNF-treated, UNF-treated, and MgO NPs-treated groups. Analyses included gross examination of gastric mucosa, calculation of ulcer and inhibition indices, determination of tissue levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and reduced glutathione (GSH), histological and immunohistochemical assessment of i-NOS, COX-2, and caspase-3 of stomach mucosa, q-PCR for the detection of mRNA expression of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α. Results were compared statistically at P < 0.05. Compared to NPRS-treated mice which developed multiple ulcers, had elevated MDA and ROS levels, and deceased CAT, POD, SOD, and GSH levels, significantly increased expression of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α mRNA, damaged surface epithelium with disrupted glandular architecture and leucocyte infiltration of lamina propria with a marked increase in mucosal COX-2, i-NOS, and caspase-3 expression, oral administration of coated and uncoated naproxen nanoformulations prevented the gross mucosal damage by a restoration of all biochemical, histological, and immunohistochemical alterations to near control levels. The present study demonstrates that naproxen sodium nanoformulation has a gastroprotective action and in the clinical setting can be a better alternative to conventional naproxen.

    Abstract Chikungunya fever is a mosquito-borne disease caused by the chikungunya virus (CHIKV) and has drawn substantial attention in recent years. So far, no effective treatment is available in the form of drugs or vaccines. In this study, we aimed to screen some drugs against the pathogenic Chikungunya virus through a molecular docking approach. As a fact, the spike E2 protein plays an important role in viral attachment to the human host cell, binding to a cell receptor MXRA8. The molecules screened for in-silico interaction against MXRA8 were selected with top hit based on binding affinity. The existing intermolecular bonds were investigated further in the active site of the protein that interacts with the top-hit ligands. Gambogic acid (guttic acid) was depicted as the furthermost potential inhibitor when compared to the others it had the lowest binding affinity (-10.9 kcal/mol). Gambogic acid, as a potential antiviral agent against the spike E2 protein, could be a promising candidate.

    Abstract In the present study, the selected rice (Oryza sativa cv. indica) was genetically modified to increase the amylose content in the seeds. The ‘CRISPR-Cas9’ genome-editing tool was used to knock out three isoforms of soluble starch synthase (SSS) viz. SSSII-1, SSSII-2 and SSSII-3. A genetic transformation vector designed with appropriate gRNAs, Cas9, and antibiotic resistance was used to create SSS knockout mutants to enrich the content of amylose. Putative rice mutants were developed with high amylose content in the seeds of up to 63% as compared to 23% in the wild types (control). Rice with a low Glycemic Index (GI) value and high amylose content rice is preferred to avoid a sudden rise in glucose in the bloodstream. The frequencies of bi-allelic or homozygous transgenic lines of SSSII-1, SSSII-2, and SSSII-3 in the first generation were tested via the Mendelian fashion of segregated bi-allelic lines in the T₁ generation of the putative rice mutants. The T₁ generation segregation showed a frame-shift mutation. A molecular characterization of the putative mutants successfully demonstrated the development of a Cas9-free rice mutant with a higher amount of amylose in the rice.
