The thermostability of yeast alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) I is strongly dependent on the presence of NaCl, a salt that is almost neutral on the Hofmeister scale, which suggests that solvent-accessible electrostatic repulsion might play a role in the inactivation of the enzyme. Moreover, CaCl2 and MgCl2 are able to stabilize the enzyme at millimolar concentrations. Ca2+ stabilizes yeast ADH I by preventing the dissociation of the reduced form of the enzyme and by preventing the unfolding of the oxidized form of the enzyme. An analysis of several chimaeric ADHs suggests that Ca2+ is fixed by the Asp-236 and Glu-101 side chains in yeast ADH I, but that Ca2+ can be displaced by replacing Met-168 by an Arg residue, as suggested by a three-dimensional model of the enzyme structure. These results indicate that electrostatic repulsion can cause protein unfolding and/or dissociation. It is proposed that yeast ADH I binds Mg2+in vivo.

Background: Postprandial hyperglycemia considered to be a major risk factor for cerebrovascular complications. Objective: The current study was designed to elucidate the beneficial role of voglibose via in-silico in vitro to in-vivo studies in improving the postprandial glycaemic state by protection against strokeprone type 2 diabetes. Material and Methods: In-Silico molecular docking and virtual screening were carried out with the help of iGEMDOCK+ Pymol+docking software and Protein Drug Bank database (PDB). Based on the results of docking studies, in-vivo investigation was carried out for possible neuroprotective action. T2DM was induced by a single injection of streptozotocin (90mg/kg, i.v.) to neonates. Six weeks after induction, voglibose was administered at the dose of 10mg/kg p.o. for two weeks. After eight weeks, diabetic rats were subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion, and after 72 hours of surgery, neurological deficits were determined. The blood was collected for the determination of serum glucose, CK-MB, LDH and lipid levels. Brains were excised for determination of brain infarct volume, brain hemisphere weight difference, Na+-K+ ATPase activity, ROS parameters, NO levels, and aldose reductase activity. Results: In-silico docking studies showed good docking binding score for stroke associated proteins, which possibly hypotheses neuroprotective action of voglibose in stroke. In the present in-vivo study, pre-treatment with voglibose showed a significant decrease (p<0.05) in serum glucose and lipid levels. Voglibose has shown significant (p<0.05) reduction in neurological score, brain infarct volume, the difference in brain hemisphere weight. On biochemical evaluation, treatment with voglibose produced significant (p<0.05) decrease in CK-MB, LDH, and NO levels in blood and reduction in Na+-K+ ATPase, oxidative stress, and aldose reductase activity in brain homogenate. Conclusion: In-silico molecular docking and virtual screening studies and in-vivo studies in MCAo induced stroke, animal model outcomes support the strong anti-stroke signature for possible neuroprotective therapeutics.

Background: The pyrazolines give the reactions of aliphatic derivatives, resembling unsaturated compounds in their behavior towards permanganate and nascent hydrogen. This nucleus has been associated with various biological activities including inflammatory. Thiazolinone is a heterocyclic compound that contains both sulfur and nitrogen atom with a carbonyl group in their structure.Thiazolinone and their derivatives have attracted continuing interest because of their various biological activities, such as anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anti-proliferative, antiviral, anticonvulsant etc. The aim of the research was to club pyrazoline nucleus with thiazolinone in order to have significantanti-inflammatory activity. The synthesized compounds were chemically characterized for the establishment of their chemical structures and to evaluate as anti-inflammatory agent. Method: In the present work, eight derivatives of substituted pyrazoline (PT1-PT8) were synthesized by a three step reaction.The compounds were subjected to spectral analysis by Infrared, Mass and Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and elemental analysis data. All the synthesized were evaluated for their in vivo anti-inflammatory activity. The synthesized derivatives were evaluated for their affinity towards target COX-1 and COX-2, using indomethacin as the reference compound molecular docking visualization through AutoDock Vina. Results: Compounds PT-1, PT-3, PT-4 and PT-8 exhibited significant anti-inflammatory activity at 3rd hour being 50.7%, 54.3%, 52.3% and 57% respectively closer to that of the standard drug indomethacin (61.9%).From selected anti-inflammatory targets, the synthesized derivatives exhibited better interaction with COX-1 and COX-2 receptor, where indomethacin showed docking score of -6.5 kJ/mol, compound PT-1 exhibited highest docking score of -9.1 kJ/mol for COX-1 and compound PT-8 having docking score of 9.4 kJ/mol for COX-2. Conclusion: It was concluded that synthesized derivatives have more interaction with COX-2 receptors in comparison to the COX-1 receptors because the docking score with COX-2 receptors were very good. It is concluded that the synthesized derivatives (PT-1 to PT-8) are potent COX-2 inhibitors.

Background: ,2,3-Triazoles and imidazoles are important five-membered heterocyclic scaffolds due to their extensive biological activities. These products have been an area of growing interest to many researchers around the world because of their enormous pharmaceutical scope. Methods: The in vivo and in vitro enzyme inhibition of some thioglycosides encompassing 1,2,4- triazole N1, N2, and N3 and/or imidazole moieties N4, N5, and N6. The effect on the antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, glutathione S-transferase, glutathione peroxidase and catalase) was investigated as well as their effect on α-glucosidase and β-glucuronidase. Molecular docking studies were carried out to investigate the mode of the binding interaction of the compounds with α- glucosidase and β -glucuronidase. In addition, quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) investigation was applied to find out the correlation between toxicity and physicochemical properties. Results: The decrease of the antioxidant status was revealed by the in vivo effect of the tested compounds. Furthermore, the in vivo and in vitro inhibitory effects of the tested compounds were clearly pronounced on α-glucosidase, but not β-glucuronidase. The IC50 and Ki values revealed that the thioglycoside - based 1,2,4-triazole N3 possesses a high inhibitory action. In addition, the in vitro studies demonstrated that the whole tested 1,2,4-triazole are potent inhibitors with a Ki magnitude of 10-6 and exhibited a competitive type inhibition. On the other hand, the thioglycosides - based imidazole ring showed an antioxidant activity and exerted a slight in vivo stimulation of α-glucosidase and β- glucuronidase. Molecular docking proved that the compounds exhibited binding affinity with the active sites of α -glucosidase and β-glucuronidase (docking score ranged from -2.320 to -4.370 kcal/mol). Furthermore, QSAR study revealed that the HBD and RB were found to have an overall significant correlation with the toxicity. Conclusion: These data suggest that the inhibition of α-glucosidase is accompanied by an oxidative stress action.

Implant System

Here, we present a bone implant system of phase-oriented titanium dioxide (TiO2) fabricated by the micro-arc oxidation method (MAO) on β-Ti to facilitate improved osseointegration. This (101) rutile-phase-dominant MAO TiO2 (R-TiO2) is biocompatible due to its high surface roughness, bone-mimetic structure, and preferential crystalline orientation. Furthermore, (101) R-TiO2 possesses active and abundant hydroxyl groups that play a significant role in enhancing hydroxyapatite formation and cell adhesion and promote cell activity leading to osseointegration. The implants had been elicited their favorable cellular behavior in vitro in the previous publications; in addition, they exhibit excellent shear strength and promote bone–implant contact, osteogenesis, and tissue formation in vivo. Hence, it can be concluded that this MAO R-TiO2 bone implant system provides a favorable active surface for efficient osseointegration and is suitable for clinical applications.
