The Nudix hydrolase from Bacillus paranthracis MBBL1 was investigated using in silico approaches. Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent environmental contaminants associated with serious health and ecological risks because of their stable chemical nature and strong resistance to breakdown. The enzyme sequence was retrieved from NCBI (Accession No. MFQ6175622.1), and its secondary structure revealed 33 alpha-helices, 50 beta-strands, and 66 coil regions, suggesting a balanced structural conformation. Tertiary structure prediction using AlphaFold3 achieved a high-confidence model with 94.5 % residues in the most favored regions of the Ramachandran plot and an ERRAT quality score of 96.99 %, validating its stereochemical reliability. Physicochemical profiling indicated a molecular weight of 17 kDa, a theoretical pI of 4.86, and a GRAVY index of −0.245, confirming its hydrophilic and slightly acidic nature. Two active-sites were predicted by PrankWeb, with Pocket 1 showing a high binding score of 6.46. Molecular docking against twelve PFAS derivatives showed favorable binding affinities ranging from −6.4 to −9.5 kcal/mol. Perfluorodecanoic acid demonstrated the strongest interaction (−9.5 kcal/mol), followed by H-PFOS (−9.0 kcal/mol) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (−8.8 kcal/mol). Interaction analysis identified key residues such as ALA22, THR40, ASP42, and ASN133 forming multiple hydrogen, halogen, and electrostatic bonds. These findings suggest that Nudix hydrolase may have structural and functional attributes relevant to PFAS biodegradation. Acknowledging the computational nature of this study, experimental validation will be required to confirm biodegradation activity.

The zinc oxide nanoparticle (ZnONPs) used in this study were synthesized using Artemisia roxburghiana extract (aerial part). The absorption peak at 353 nm in UV spectroscopy indicates the production of zinc oxide nanoparticles. The synthesis of ZnONPs using extracts of the aerial part of A . roxburghiana is also supported by FTIR peaks around 622 cm −1 . DLS analysis showed the synthesis of A-ZnONPs (zinc oxide nanoparticle synthesized by extracts of aerial part A. roxburghiana ) with a particle size of 6–10 nm. XRD pattern’s detection of a hexagonal crystal structure of A-ZnONPs. HRTEM image confirming the preparation of irregularly shaped A-ZnONPs. The preparation, capping, and stabilization of A-ZnONPs are facilitated by bioactive compounds in the plant’s aerial parts. This gives a plant with high total phenol content (TPC) of 93.4 ± 0.53 μg GAE/mg and total flavonoid content (TFC) of 23.22 ± 0.23 μg CE/mg, both of which are responsible for antioxidant activities. A-ZnONPs exhibited more significant antioxidant activity (IC50 = 147.4 μg/mL) and antibacterial activity against Salmonella abony , Escherichia coli , Bacillus subtilis , and Staphylococcus aureus . A-ZnONPs exhibited improved inhibition as their concentration increased. A maximum inhibition zone of 23 mm is observed for E. coli , suggesting that it has antibacterial and antioxidant properties to combat illnesses.

This study investigates the phytochemical composition, antibacterial efficacy, and molecular interactions of Anthocleista vogelii stem barks extracts. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, triterpenes, phenols, saponins, and other bioactive compounds in 95 % ethanol and hydro-ethanol extracts, while coumarins, steroids, and anthraquinones were absent in aqueous extracts. The 95 % ethanol extract demonstrated significant antibacterial activity against Esherichia coli (MIC: 64 μg/mL) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (MIC: 8 μg/mL), with moderate effects against Staphylococcus aureus , A. baumannii , and Salmonella Spp. (MIC: 512 μg/mL). Bactericidal activity (MBC/MIC ≤ 4) paralleled ciprofloxacin, particularly against Gram-positive pathogens. LC-MS analysis identified nine bioactive flavone derivatives, including fabiatrin, kaempferitrin, quercitrin, and naringin. Molecular docking revealed these compounds exhibited superior binding affinities (−6.6 to −11.7 kcal mol −1 ) to S. aureus and Salmonella typhi targets compared to ciprofloxacin (−3.6 to −5.4 kcal mol −1 ), forming hydrogen bonds and π -interactions critical for inhibition. ADMET predictions indicated poor gastrointestinal absorption and AMES toxicity risks but favorable plasma protein binding and cardiac safety. Frontier Molecular Orbital (FMO) analysis highlighted quercetin’s high reactivity (ΔEgap: 3.70 eV) and naringin’s stability. These findings position A. vogelii as a rich source of antimicrobial phytochemicals, though further optimization is needed to address pharmacokinetic limitations.

Staphylococcus warneri is a Gram-positive bacterium increasingly associated with urinary tract and skin infections and shows emerging multidrug resistance. In this study, S. warneri was cultured, and the virulence-associated fmhA gene was amplified, sequenced, and submitted to GenBank, representing the first reported molecular characterization of fmhA in this species. An ethnobotanical approach guided the selection of Calliandra harrisii for antimicrobial evaluation. Methanolic Soxhlet extraction followed by GC-MS analysis identified multiple bioactive phytochemicals. The three-dimensional structure of the Aminoacyl-transferase FemA ( fmhA ) protein was modeled and validated, showing acceptable structural quality. Selected phytochemicals were screened using ADME criteria, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations. Among them, spiro[1,3-dioxolane-2,2′-[6,7] diazabicyclo[3.2.2] non-6-ene] demonstrated favorable binding affinity, structural stability during 100 ns simulations, and energetically favorable MM/GBSA and MM/PBSA profiles. Density functional theory analysis revealed a moderate HOMO–LUMO gap, supporting balanced chemical reactivity and stability. Pharmacophore modeling and in silico toxicity prediction further suggested acceptable drug-likeness and low oral toxicity. Collectively, this integrated ethnobotanical and in silico framework identifies C. harrisii as a promising source of antibacterial agents and highlights spiro[1,3-dioxolane-2,2′-[6,7]diazabicyclo[3.2.2] non-6-ene] as a potential lead compound targeting fmhA in S. warneri . Experimental validation is warranted to confirm its therapeutic potential.

This study explored the chemical composition and antifungal properties of the essential oil extracted from the fruits of Schinus molle L. (Anacardiaceae), focusing on its activity against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides , a phytopathogenic fungus responsible for anthracnose in several economically important crops, causing pre- and postharvest losses. Essential oils were obtained from fruits collected in preserved (PAEO) and urbanized (UAEO) areas by hydrodistillation, and their chemical composition was determined by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. The antifungal activity was assessed by calculating the mean mycelial growth inhibition of the fungus treated with essential oils, compared to the growth in the control. The major compounds identified were terpinen-4-ol (28.61 %), α -pinene (15.26 %), and γ -terpinene (12.45 %) in PAEO and limonene (39.12 %) and sabinene (35.70 %) in UAEO. At a concentration of 250 μL mL −1 , PAEO completely inhibited fungal growth. For UAEO, the inhibition of mycelial growth was 64.7 %, 48.4 %, and 42.3 % at concentrations of 500, 250, and 125 μL mL −1 , respectively.

Diabetes mellitus remains a global health challenge, necessitating novel therapeutic strategies to manage postprandial hyperglycemia. Inhibition of carbohydrate-hydrolyzing enzymes represents a key approach. This study investigates the inhibitory potential of phytochemicals from Combretum fragrans , a Cameroonian medicinal plant traditionally used for diabetes, against these enzymes. Five triterpenoids fragransinic acid ( 1 ), betulin ( 2 ), betulinic acid ( 3 ), bellericagenin B ( 4 ), and a mixture of β -sitosterol ( 5 ) and stigmasterol ( 6 ) were evaluated via molecular docking using HYBRID and FRED protocols. The crystal structures of α -amylase (PDB ID: 1B2Y) and α -glucosidase (PDB ID: 2QMJ) were prepared, and acarbose served as a reference inhibitor. Docking validation confirmed the reliability of the protocols (RMSD < 2 Å). Compounds 1 and 4 exhibited notable binding affinities, with HYBRID scores of −5.6 and −3.7 kcal/mol for α -glucosidase, and −8.1 and −7.3 kcal/mol for α -amylase, respectively. Key interactions included hydrogen bonds with catalytic residues (ASP443, THR205) and extensive Pi–alkyl interactions with aromatic residues (TYR299, TRP539, PHE575). All the compounds demonstrated selective binding modes, suggesting competitive inhibition. This study highlights the potential of C. fragrans triterpenoids as α -amylase and α -glucosidase inhibitors, providing a structural basis for further phytochemical optimization in antidiabetic drug discovery.

Dasatinib (DAS) exhibits therapeutic potential for the treatment of lung cancer. However, its clinical utility is marred owing to poor solubility, low oral bioavailability, and rapid systemic clearance. Therefore, the current investigation is aimed to develop and optimize a polymeric nanoparticulate delivery system for DAS to increase its physicochemical properties and anticancer potential. Herein, pullulan was used as a stabilizer and encapsulating agent because of its biocompatibility and structural flexibility, allowing for effective DAS entrapment and controlled release. DAS-loaded nanoparticles were optimized employing a Box–Behnken design. The formulation was characterized for particle size, entrapment efficiency (% EE), zeta potential, in vitro drug release, and cytotoxicity against A549 lung cancer cells. The optimized formulation exhibited the particle size of 135.3 nm, EE of 92.8 %, and a zeta potential of −7.9 mV. FTIR and DSC analyses confirmed no significant drug-excipient incompatibility and corroborated successful drug encapsulation. The in vitro release studies demonstrated sustained release of DAS over 48 h at pH 7.4 (71.84 ± 3.12 %) and 6.8 (84.65 ± 4.10 %) . DAS-loaded nanoparticles exhibited significantly higher cytotoxicity (65.49 %) compared to plain DAS (42.23 %). Overall, a pullulan-based nanoparticulate system offers a promising technique for improving DAS delivery and therapeutic efficacy in lung cancer treatment.

Thymidine phosphorylase (TP) is a key enzyme involved in pyrimidine nucleoside metabolism and plays a significant role in angiogenesis, tumor progression, and metastasis. In this study, we synthesized 12 pyrazole-based thiadiazole and thiazole derivatives and evaluated their in vitro TP inhibitory activity. The compounds exhibited IC 50 values ranging from 36.67 ± 3.50 μM to 61.23 ± 3.20 μM, with several derivatives showing comparable or superior activity to the standard inhibitor 7-deazaxanthine (IC 50 = 38.68 ± 1.12 μM). Structure–activity relationship (SAR) analysis revealed that electron-withdrawing halogen substituents on the aromatic ring enhanced TP inhibition, likely due to increased binding affinity at the TP active site. Molecular docking studies highlighted interactions, such as hydrogen bonding, π–π stacking, and hydrophobic interactions, which support the observed inhibitory activity. Density Functional Theory (DFT) studies revealed electronic properties consistent with the observed activity, showing that compounds with smaller energy gaps exhibited higher reactivity. These findings suggest that pyrazole-based thiadiazole/thiazole hybrids are lead candidates for the development of novel TP inhibitors with anticancer applications.

Microglial dysfunction plays a critical role in the pathophysiology of several neurodegenerative diseases, including multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease. Emerging evidence suggests that targeting microglial activation could be a promising therapeutic strategy. This review critically examines recent studies investigating the effects of medicinal plant extracts and their bioactive compounds on microglial function. Relevant data from experimental and preclinical studies were analyzed to assess their neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory potential. Phytochemicals that are found in plants, especially flavonoids, alkaloids, and terpenoids, demonstrate important modulatory effects on microglials. These compounds control microglial polarization, inhibit the release of proinflammatory cytokines, and alleviate oxidative stress, thus, alleviating neuroinflammation and enhancing neuro-restoration. The results suggest that medicine plant extracts have effects on major molecular pathways associated with neuroinflammation, which provide new adjunctive treatment to neurodegenerative diseases. Nevertheless, there are still problems in the translation of these preclinical successes into clinical practice. The limited bioavailability, variability in phytochemical composition, and the absence of standardized formulations are some of the challenges that discourage clinical use. Also, thorough safety assessments should be conducted to achieve therapeutic effectiveness with no adverse effects. The medicinal plants and their bioactive compounds hold potential promise in regulating the dysfunction of microglia and in decreasing neuroinflammation. Future studies are needed to enhance the pharmacokinetic characteristics, to provide consistency in formulations, and to perform stringent clinical studies that would substantiate these findings and allow their use in therapeutic regimens of neuroinflammatory disorders.

This study investigates the in vivo hepatoprotective, antidiabetic, and anti-inflammatory properties of the methanolic extract of the whole plant Neptunia prostrata (NPME) using the Wistar albino rat model. Acute toxicity evaluation confirmed the safety of the extract, with no behavioral or physiological abnormalities observed. In the paracetamol-induced hepatotoxicity model, treatment with NPME significantly lowered serum levels of AST, ALT, ALP, total bilirubin, and direct bilirubin in a dose-dependent manner, comparable to silymarin. The antidiabetic activity of NPME was evaluated in streptozotocin-nicotinamide-induced diabetic rats, where NPME significantly reduced fasting blood glucose levels and improved oral glucose tolerance over a 21-day period. Restoration of serum α-amylase, SGPT, SGOT, creatinine, and alkaline phosphatase levels further supported its metabolic efficacy. Histopathological studies of liver, kidney, and heart tissue in treated rats revealed improved cellular architecture and reduced pathological alterations. Anti-inflammatory effects were confirmed by significantly inhibiting carrageenan-induced paw edema, indicating possible modulation of cyclooxygenase-mediated pathways. Treatment with NPME downregulated IL-6 and upregulated IL-10. Overall, the findings highlight the broad-spectrum pharmacological activity of N. prostrata in the rat model, supporting its potential use as a plant-based therapeutic for managing metabolic and inflammatory conditions such as diabetes mellitus, hepatotoxicity, and inflammation.

The escalating projected demand to battle antibiotic resistant bacteria and Candida infestation guarantee public safety has led focus on development of advanced antimicrobial nanomaterials. Owing to their special qualities and prospectives in a variety of fields, doped titania nanotextured fibers especially those implanted with rare earth elements like cerium, lanthanum, and neodymium have attracted a lot of attention. In current research rare earth (Ln = La, Ce and Nd) doped titania nanofibers have been formulated using facile sol-gel electrospinning, illustrated by XRD, SEM, EDX and TEM. Antibacterial action of doped nanofibers was appraised against representative organism Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans . XRD assessment established that pristine and doped TiO 2 nanofibers possess anatase and rutile phase at 700 °C. It also confirmed that Ln doped TiO 2 probably supports phase alteration. The diameter range of all doped nanofibers spans between 200 and 700 nm. Conclusively, current study demonstrated that Ln@TiO 2 nanofibers possess better antimicrobial activity than pristine TiO 2 . The order of antimicrobial activity was observed as Ce@TiO 2 > Nd@TiO 2 > La@TiO 2 > TiO 2. The Ce@TiO 2 nanofibers demonstrated highest activity among tested Ln@ TiO 2 nanofibers. The mechanism of action is likely interceded by inducing oxidative stress that targets components of bacterium and C. albicans .

This study investigated the anti - dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and anti-dengue virus (DENV) properties of an extract containing six Vietnamese medicinal plants (HemoShield – HE ). HE in water (WE) and in 25 % ethanol (EE) exhibited anti-DENV activity against all four tested DENV serotypes (1, 2, 3, and 4), with the strongest effect observed with DENV2. Moreover, HE demonstrated apparent inhibitory activity against NS2B-NS3 pro enzyme responsible for viral replication with an IC 50 value of 48.5 ± 2.3 μg/mL. In the thrombocytopenia rats, HE -treated group showed a significant increase in platelet count (approximately 33.62 %; p < 0.05). Additionally, the bleeding time of 0.74  g/kg treatment group was significantly reduced by 33.4 % (p < 0.05). Antipyretic activity of HE in rabbits after 3-h treatment showed a significant reduction in body temperature (38.8 %; ΔT: 0.4 ± 0.1 °C) at a dose of 0.31 g/kg.

Engineered living material (ELM) is a new paradigm in biomaterials science that merges synthetic biology with materials engineering to create dynamic, responsive systems with living functionalities. This review explores to what extent ELMs can be developed as novel therapeutic agents for dermal complications including chronic wounds, burns, infections, and dermatological disorders. By integrating engineered microorganisms, such as bacteria or fungi, within biocompatible matrices, ELMs offer unprecedented capabilities for real-time sensing, adaptive responses, and localized therapeutic delivery. These materials can be formulated to release bioactive compounds, including antimicrobial, growth, or immunomodulatory peptides, in response to well defined environmental cues that address the underlying complexity of the pathophysiology of skin related conditions. ELMs have self-healing features and can remodel their structure to induce tissue regeneration and repair dynamically. This review summarizes recent progress in ELM design, including genetic circuit engineering, scaffold optimization, and biocompatibility enhancements that collectively enable precise control over their therapeutic functions. The clinical translation challenges including biosafety, scalability, and regulatory issues have been outlined. ELMs bridge the gap between synthetic biology and dermatology, by which ELMs have potential to be used as the next generation therapy platforms, empowered with personalized, sustainable, and efficacious treatments for dermal complications.

The genus Lysimachia is of great interest to the scientific community, especially in terms of its potential anticancer effects. In this study, the aerial parts and roots of Lysimachia atropurpurea L. were collected and extracted by maceration using solvents of ethyl acetate (EA), ethanol (EtOH), ethanol/water, and water. The biological activities of the extracts, including antioxidant, enzyme inhibition, and anticancer effects, were evaluated using various assays. High-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) analysis revealed a total of 32 compounds in the extracts of L . atropurpurea . The roots showed significantly the highest antioxidant activity compared to the aerial part. In case of cholinesterase inhibition, the aerial parts of the EtOH extract showed the highest acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition activity, measuring 3.05 mg galatamine equivalent (GALAE)/g. The EtOH and EtOH/water extracts exhibited the strongest cytotoxicity, reducing the viability of human neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y) and human hepatocarcinoma (HepG2) cancer cells to as low as 4.86–6.33 %. The results of network pharmacology and molecular docking suggest that the extract of L . atropurpurea exerts inhibitory effects on hepatocellular carcinoma through the modulation of SRC, PI3K, and HSP90, while it demonstrates potential inhibitory activity against neuroblastoma by targeting SRC, PI3K, HSP90, ESR1, AKT, and other related targets. In conclusion, the L . atropurpurea extracts showed potential antioxidant, enzyme inhibition, and selective anticancer effects, which support their potential for further research as therapeutic agents in drug development.

A new unusual C-methylated chalcone was successfully isolated from the leaves of Syzygium dyerianum (King) Chantaran. & J.Parn, identified as syzydyerin A ( 1 ), together with β -sitosterol, friedelin and lupeol. The characterisation and structural elucidation of the isolated compounds were established by extensive spectroscopic data analysis and comparison with literature data. Compound 1 exhibited inhibitory activity against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and lipoxygenase (LOX) with IC50 values of 50.4 ± 0.2 µm and 30.7 ± 0.25 µm, respectively, compared to the reference inhibitors galantamine (IC50 = 40.7 ± 0.12 µm) for AChE and quercetin (IC50 = 3.5 ± 0.13 µm) 5-LOX. Molecular docking analysis revealed that compound 1 exhibits strong binding affinities toward AChE (−11.0 kcal/mol) and 5-LOX (−9.1 kcal/mol), comparable to standard inhibitors, with key π – π stacking and hydrogen bonding interactions stabilizing its binding at both active sites, highlighting its promising dual inhibitory potential. The study underscores the value of S. dyerianum as a source of bioactive compounds with potential applications in treating neuroinflammatory diseases.

Natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) have emerged as a green, sustainable alternative to conventional organic solvents due to their biocompatibility and non-toxicity. This review highlights the composition and structural diversity of NADES. The various techniques of NADES preparation are discussed, along with the critical factors that influence their stability and functionality. A wide range of NADES applications was discussed, such as their role in the extraction of bioactive compounds, food analysis, biocatalysis, and cryoprotection. Additionally, the review examines the potential applications of NADES in pharmaceutical and biomedical sciences, including their role in drug delivery, burn injury management, and wound treatment. Despite these potentials, there are certain limitations of NADES, such as high viscosity and difficulty in product recovery. Thus, there is a need for a standardized methodology to understand NADES interactions at the molecular level and to develop cost-effective commercial processes for product recovery.

Synthetic medicinal products are expensive and may have serious side effects. In addition, other antimicrobial agents have become increasingly required due to antibiotic resistance. To overcome these problems, people have used medicinal plants for years as a source of medication. Milk thistle ( Silybum marianum L.) has been used for decades to treat various chronic illnesses. This study aimed to verify the chemical profile of S. marianum using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and evaluate the plant extracts’ anti-inflammatory, anticoagulant, and antioxidant activities. Results revealed that extracts from the plant contain significant amounts of triterpenes, tetraterpenes, oxygenated hydrocarbons, and small amounts of hydrocarbons. Results also showed that at a dose of 0.5 mg/ear, the seed extract significantly reduced xylene-induced edema in mice; however, the water extracts reduced croton oil-induced edema with a percent inhibition of 84.61 ± 4.61 % at the same dose. Moreover, the results showed that the methanolic seed extract was the most potent in anticoagulant activity. In contrast, the n -butanol extract showed the highest DPPH free radical scavenging activity (IC 50 = 0.021 ± 0.006 mg/mL). This study highlighted the anti-inflammatory, anticoagulant, and antioxidant potential of S. marianum L. and the medicinal importance of natural phytochemicals isolated from this medicinal plant.

Gemcitabine (GEM) serves as a first-line chemotherapeutic agent for pancreatic cancer (PC), but its clinical efficacy is significantly limited by the emergence of drug resistance, necessitating in-depth exploration of the underlying molecular mechanisms. This study employed the TCGA database to analyze ST8SIA4 expression, revealing consistent downregulation in PC tumor tissues compared to matched normal adjacent tissues. A GEM-resistant cell model (SW1990/GEM) was generated from SW1990 cells through incremental dose induction to further investigate resistance pathways. Experimental analyses included qPCR and Western blotting for gene and protein expression, CHX chase assays for protein stability, CO-IP for protein-protein interactions, CCK-8 tests for cellular proliferation, and flow cytometry for apoptotic rates. Results demonstrated that ST8SIA4 downregulation was prevalent in both PC tissues and the SW1990/GEM model. Overexpression of ST8SIA4 suppressed GEM resistance in SW1990/GEM cells and upregulated hENT1 protein expression; however, this effect was attenuated by an N-linked glycosylation inhibitor. Crucially, silencing hENT1 counteracted the resistance inhibition induced by ST8SIA4 overexpression. Collectively, these findings indicate that ST8SIA4 regulates N-linked glycosylation of hENT1, thereby stabilizing hENT1 protein expression and reversing GEM resistance in PC, offering a potential therapeutic target for overcoming chemotherapy resistance.

Inula viscosa is a common medicinal plant and is mostly spread in Mediterranean countries. The current study analyses I. viscosa extracts for antimicrobial capacity, phenolic content, antioxidant, enzyme inhibition, and molecular modeling. The extracts’ anticancer potential in prostate and breast cancer cells was evaluated, and their anti-metastatic and molecular activities were analyzed through gene expression. The most prevalent substances in the methanol extract of I. viscosa are phenolic acids, which include derivatives of caffeic acid and mono-, di-, and tri-caffeoylquinic acids. Dicaffeoylquinic acids represented 88 % of the quantified phenolics. The methanol extract showed a 50 % inhibitor concentration (IC 50 ) of 101.4 μg/mL at 48 h in PC3 cells. Autophagy-related genes were found to be down-regulated in all three cancer cells. Regarding antimetastatic activity, the wound width remained ∼96 % at 48 h after ethyl acetate treatment in MCF-7 cells. The water extract had the highest total phenolic content and the strongest antioxidant capacity, followed by the methanol extract. Modest binding potential to B-cell leukemia-2 (Bcl-2) was observed with caffeoylquinic acid and caffeic acid derivatives, which may be related to pro-apoptotic/anticancer effects. Our results suggested that I. viscosa can be considered as an effective raw material for designing health-promoting applications.
