The gambier leaf from Uncaria gambir (W.Hunter) Roxb. is one of the promising natural agents as an antidiabetic candidate. Through in silico approach, study delves into mechanisms extract's potential compounds, aiming to comprehend molecular underlying its activity. Additionally, investigation was conducted determine most advantageous outcome extract and characteristics ideal extract. extraction method used ultrasound-assisted (UAE). Data analysis done using a full factorial design 23 modeling approach. process involved three key factors: time, temperature, material-solvent ratio. observed responses included yield, total flavonoid content (TFC), antioxidant activity (IC50). Optimal results for were achieved with 30-minute duration at 50°C ratio 1:10, which resulted yield value 11.87%; 467.51 mgCE/g (IC50) 66.01 µg/mL desirability 0.998. optimal are moisture 0.13% drying shrinkage 0.15. has been demonstrated contain phenolic flavonoids, tannins. validation condition obtained 95% PI low high. Network pharmacology identified five compounds target proteins associated treating type 2 diabetes mellitus. Molecular docking indicated that interactions between SRC receptor nicotiflorin, AKT1, well TNF procyanidin B2, have biological treatment

ADAMTS-5 (aggrecanase-2) is a major metalloprotease involved in regulating the cartilage extracellular matrix. Due to its role removing aggrecan progression of osteoarthritis (OA), often regarded as potential therapeutic target for OA. Punicalagin (PCG), polyphenolic ellagitannin found pomegranate (Punica grunatum L.), and ellagic acid (EA), hydrolytic metabolite PCG, have been widely investigated disease-modifying drugs (DMOADs) due their potent antioxidant anti-inflammatory properties, but interaction with has yet be determined. In this study, molecular docking simulations were used predict enzyme-inhibitor binding interactions. The results suggest that both compounds may able bind within active site via formation H bonds interactions between ligand's aromatic rings hydrophobic residue enzyme inhibition constants 183.3 µM 1.13 PCG EA, respectively. Biochemical activity against recombinant human was assessed using dimethylmethylene blue-based assay determine residual sulfated glycosaminoglycan (sGAG) porcine articular cartilage. Although loss could not attributed ADAMTS-5, sGAG effectively persevered by EA. conversion EA enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis then liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy use prodrug-proactive pair development drug delivery systems arthritic synovial joints.

Background: Inflammation represents the body's natural response to injury, which can be induced by chemical, physical, or biological agents. Current approaches managing inflammatory conditions involve addressing primary etiological factors and administering anti-inflammatory medications like Nonsteroid Anti Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) in inhibiting cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2). However, data from 2021 reveals that 78.8% of patients experience gastritis as a side effect such treatment. Licorice root extract (LRE)-an ayurvedic plants emerges promising alternative due its potent properties attributed presence glycyrrhizin, constituting between 2% 25% dry weight. Objectives: To find out determine molecular inhibition compound LRE against COX-2 enzyme. Method: The process involves isolating active constituents using pubchem BioVia application, isolation site exploring RCSB PDB isolate it PyMol engaging docking simulations PyRx. Results discussions: Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) pivotal enzymatic orchestrator intricately woven into fabric cascade. stands at forefront prospective candidates realm drug development, buoyed remarkable attributes. Regarding ∆Gbind value, tests show compounds inhibit better than arachidonic acid mefenamic acid. Six outperform reference compounds, indicating potential capabilities. Other activity, RMSD values affirm accuracy silico predictions. Conclusion: had oral topical drugs through with best anti-inflammation ability is 18β‐glycyrrhetic

Pomegranate molasses is a one of functional element that has generated extensive scientific attention in the search for effective bioactive natural compounds. The in-silico effects pomegranate on foodborne pathogens were investigated using molecular docking analysis, crystal structures E. coli topoisomerase II DNA gyrase B as target model. On ATP-active pocket gyrase, binding affinities and interactions alliance acid, gallic punicalagin, punicalin examined. According to findings, novobiocin had score -6.30 Kcal/mol, whereas components (punicalagin, punicalin, gallagic ellagic acid) adopted best style with -7.2 -9.8 Kcal/mol. Our findings suggested could provide powerful antibacterial agents inhibitors via unique structural properties address antimicrobial resistance. They are being further biocontrol agent.
