In Silico Screening and Molecular Docking of Cynodon dactylon phytochemicals against COPD-Associated Proteins
Abstract: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease or COPD is a pulmonary disease that obstructs airways and alveoli accompanied by respiratory issues like emphysema and bronchitis. This disease is caused mainly by inflammatory responses of the body to foreign particles that enter the respiratory path including tobacco smoke, air pollutants and irritants. The hallmark of COPD is excessive inflammation caused by imbalance in protease anti-protease activity. Proteases like elastase breakdown the ECM of …

Studies on the antioxidant content and antimicrobial activity of cucumber (cucumissativus) peel collected from bagmari, kolkata, west bengal, india
Abstract: Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) is widely consumed across the globe, yet its peels are commonly discarded as waste, despite possessing a wealth of bioactive compounds. Recent studies have highlighted that these peels contain substantial amounts of antioxidants, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-carcinogenic properties, making them a promising candidate for value-added applications. In this study, methanolic extracts (80% v/v) of cucumber peels were systematically analyzed to assess their total phenolic content (TPC), total …

Enhancement of Lycopene Content in Tomato Pulp by the Addition of Tomato Peel Paste—Optimization and Utilization
Abstract: In tomato processing industry tomato peel is discarded as waste, it is rich in lycopene which is a phytochemical. This paper was focused on the utilization of tomato peel in tomato paste and optimization of the process using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The levels of skin paste and pulp were taken as independent variables whereas lycopene content and Overall Acceptability (OAA) were taken as responses. Numerical optimization was used to …

Exploring the Bioactive Potential of Himalayan Lichens: Phytochemical and Antimicrobial Profiling of Xanthoparmelia tinctina and Pyxine subcinerea Extracts
Abstract: The symbiotic association that develops between cyanobacteria, algae, and fungi results in the composite organism known as lichens, which has traits similar to those of plants but differs in its separate parent organisms. Lichens can have a variety of morphological characteristics, including foliose structures that resemble flat leaves, crustose structures that resemble flake crystals, fruticose branches that have short, leafless branches, and leprose-powder-like appearances. Due to their therapeutic potential, lichens …

Evaluating Andrographis paniculata Phytochemicals as Potential Glioma Therapeutics via Molecular Docking Approach
Abstract: Evaluating Andrographis paniculata Phytochemicals as Potential Glioma Therapeutics via Molecular Docking ApproachGlioneuronal tumors and gliomas are grade I tumors classified by the World Health Organization (WHO). They typically grow slowly and primarily affect infants, children, and teenagers, but can also occur in adults. They mostly cause seizures caused by gangliomas. Most current treatments include surgery and radiotherapy. Since this disease affects children, the current treatments may cause complications. Andrographis paniculata …

Analysis of Phenotypic and Genotypic Coefficient of Variance, Heritability and Genetic Advance Estimates in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
Abstract: The present investigation was conducted to estimate the genotypic coefficient of variance (GCV) and phenotypic coefficient of variance (PCV). It was revealed that PCV was higher than GCV. This result indicated less effect of environment on the expression of character studies. High amount of genotypic and phenotypic variation was observed for the characters such as biological yield per plant, Harvest index, number of grain per ear and productive tillers per …
