Curcumin, a potent plant polyketide in turmeric, has gained recognition for its outstanding health benefits, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer effects. Classical turmeric farming, which is widely used to produce curcumin, linked deforestation, soil degradation, excessive water use, reduced biodiversity. In recent years, the microbial synthesis of curcumin been achieved optimized through novel strategies, offering increased safety, improved sustainability, potential revolutionize production. Here, we discuss breakthroughs engineering fermentation techniques, as well their capacity increase yield, purity, cost-effectiveness The utilization systems not only addresses supply chain limitations but also helps meet growing demand various industries, pharmaceuticals, foods, cosmetics.

Curcumin is a natural product found in the rhizome of Curcuma longa (L.) and other spp. As lipophilic molecule, it has greater affinity for polar, non-polar, alkaline, or extremely acidic organic solvents. Several studies indicate that curcumin several benefits human health, example, against degenerative diseases, cancer, infectious diseases. To obtain quality with nutraceutical properties, necessary to know its physicochemical characteristics preserve from cultivation until ingestion by human. However, low solubility leads absorption; this context, nanotechnological systems can contribute increase bioavailability. This review aims highlight important issues all stages goes through: aspects related extraction association nanotechnology. Although process already well established, possible observe more research focused on increasing yield being environmentally friendly. Further, curcumin's absorption notable due characteristics, mainly aqueous solubility. nanotechnology shows be promising an increasingly growing trend because use "Indian solid gold" hope many patients.

Ischemic stroke (IS) is an acute cerebrovascular disease caused by sudden arterial occlusion, which characterized a high morbidity, mortality, and disability rate. It one of the most important causes nervous system morbidity mortality in world. In recent years, search for new medicine treatment IS has become attractive research focus. Due to extremely limited time window traditional treatment, some side effects may occur, accompanied occurrence adverse reactions, frequency exploration with natural significantly increased. Phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/Protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) signaling pathway classical cell metabolism, growth, apoptosis, other physiological activities. There considerable on that treats various diseases through this pathway. This review focuses how medicines (including herbs insects) regulate pathophysiological processes such as inflammation, oxidative stress, autophagy PI3K/Akt pathway, role it plays improving IS. We found many kinds herbal insect can alleviate damage Moreover, prescription after their combination also achieve certain results. Therefore, provides candidate category development

Central nervous system (CNS) disorders and diseases are expected to rise sharply in the coming years, partly because of world’s aging population. Medicines for treatment CNS have not been successfully made. Inadequate knowledge about brain, pharmacokinetic dynamic errors preclinical studies, challenges with clinical trial design, complexity variety human brain illnesses, variations species some potential scenarios. Neurodegenerative (NDDs) multifaceted lack identifiable etiological components, drugs developed treat them did meet requirements those who anticipated treatments. Therefore, there is a great demand safe effective natural therapeutic adjuvants. For NDDs other memory-related problems, many herbal items used Ayurvedic medical system. Anxiety, depression, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s (AD), as well plethora neuropsychiatric disorders, may benefit from use plant food-derived chemicals that antidepressant or antiepileptic properties. We summarized present level products based on topological evidence, bioinformatics analysis, translational research this review. also highlighted investigation will help us select neurological conditions. In review, we explored efficacy phytoconstituents against diseases. Various evidence-based studies extensive recent investigations included, which pharmacologists reduce progression neuronal disease.

Abstract Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor ( BDNF ) is a neurotrophin gene family that encodes proteins vital for the growth, maintenance, and survival of neurons in nervous system. The study aimed to screen natural compounds against variant (V66M), which affects memory, cognition, mood regulation. (V66M) as target structure was selected, Vitamin D, Curcumin, C, Quercetin ligands structures were taken from PubChem database. Multiple tools like AUTODOCK VINA, BIOVIA discovery studio, PyMOL, CB-dock, IMOD server, Swiss ADEMT, predict used analyze binding energy, interaction, stability, toxicity, visualize -ligand complexes. Compounds D3, with energies values − 5.5, 6.1, 4.5, 6.7 kj/mol, respectively, selected. bind active sites via hydrophobic bonds, hydrogen electrostatic interactions. Furthermore, ADMET analysis revealed they exhibited sound pharmacokinetic toxicity profiles. In addition, an MD simulation showed most ligand bound favorably dynamically protein, protein–ligand complex stability determined. finding this research could provide excellent platform discovering rationalizing novel drugs stress related (V66M). Docking, preclinical drug testing results suggest more potent inhibitor forming structurally stable complex.
