Piper sylvaticum Roxb. is traditionally used by the indigenous people of tropical and subtropical countries like Bangladesh, India, and China for relieving the common cold or a variety of chronic diseases, such as asthma, chronic coughing, piles, rheumatic pain, headaches, wounds, tuberculosis, indigestion, and dyspepsia. This study tested anxiolytic and antioxidant activities by in vivo, in vitro, and in silico experiments for the metabolites extracted (methanol) from the leaves and stems of P. sylvaticum (MEPSL and MEPSS). During the anxiolytic evaluation analyzed by elevated plus maze and hole board tests, MEPSL and MEPSS (200 and 400 mg/kg, body weight) exhibited a significant and dose-dependent reduction of anxiety-like behavior in mice. Similarly, mice treated with MEPSL and MEPSS demonstrated dose-dependent increases in locomotion and CNS simulative effects in open field test. In addition, both extracts (MEPSL and MEPSS) also showed moderate antioxidant activities in DPPH scavenging and ferric reducing power assays compared to the standard, ascorbic acid. In parallel, previously isolated bioactive compounds from this plant were documented and subjected to a molecular docking study to correlate them with the pharmacological outcomes. The selected four major phytocompounds displayed favorable binding affinities to potassium channel and xanthine oxidoreductase enzyme targets in molecular docking experiments. Overall, P. sylvaticum is bioactive, as is evident through experimental and computational analysis. Further experiments are necessary to evaluate purified novel compounds for the clinical evaluation.

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic condition characterized by elevated blood glucose levels in the bloodstream. It occurs due to the inadequate amount of insulin secreted in the body or resistance of insulin receptors. Objective: In the present study, for its effect on alpha-amylase and alpha-glucosidase enzymes, Oroxylum indicuma flavone glycoside was assessed using in-vitro assays by removing the respective enzymes from whole wheat and barley in conjunction with in-silico analysis. Method: in-vitro alpha amylase inhibitory activity and in-vitro alpha glucosidase inhibitory activity was performed using acarbose as a standard drug. The molecular docking study was performed using Schrodinger (Maestro V 11.5) software. The parameters glide score, Lipinski rule for drug likeliness, bioactive scoring and ADME properties were assessed in the docking study. In addition, baicalein's antioxidant function was assessed using DPPH assay, nitric oxide scavenging activity. The cytotoxicity of Oroxylum indicumwas evaluated using the Brine shrimp lethality assay. Results: The alpha-amylase assay performed showed IC50 value of 48.40 µg/ml for Oroxylum indicumwhereas alpha-glucosidase assay showed an IC50 value of 16.03 µg/ml. Oroxylum indicumshows the glide score of-5.565 with 5EOF and glide score of -5.339 with 5NN8 in the molecular docking study. The highest percentage of DPPH radical scavenging activity and nitrous oxide scavenging activity were found to be.27% at160 µg/ml and 50.02% at the concentrations of 160 µg/ml respectively. Conclusion: Based on further in vivo and clinical trials, Oroxylum indicummay be used for the management of hyperglycaemia.

ABSTRACTPropolis is a multi-functional bee product with a rich in polyphenols. In this study, the inhibition effect of Anatolian propolis against SARS coronavirus-2 (SARS CoV-2) was investigated asin vitroandin silico. Raw and commercial of propolis samples were used in the study and it was found that both of were rich in caffeic acid, p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, t-cinnamic acid, hesperetin, chrysin, pinocembrin and caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) by HPLC-UV analysis. The ethanolic propolis extracts (EPE) were used in the screening ELISA test against the spike S1 protein (SARS Cov-2): ACE-2 inhibition KIT forin vitrostudy. Binding energy constants of these polyphenols to the CoV-2 Spike S1 RBD and ACE-2proteinwere calculated separately as molecular docking study using AutoDock 4.2 molecular docking software. In addition, pharmacokinetics and drug-likeness properties of these eight polyphenols were calculated according to the SwissADME tool. Binding energy constant of pinocembrin was the highest for both of the receptors, followed by chrysin, CAPE and hesperetin.In silicoADME behavior of the eight polyphenols were found potential ability to work effectively as novel drugs. The findings of both studies showed that propolis has a high inhibitory potential against Covid-19 virus. However, further studies are needed.

Pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines 5a–c, 9a–c and 13a–i were synthesized for evaluation of their in vitro antimicrobial properties against some microorganisms and their immunomodulatory activity. The biological activities of pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines showed that the pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines (5c, 9a, 9c, 13a, 13c, 13d, 13e and 13h) displayed promising antimicrobial and immunomodulatory activities. Studying the in silico predicted physicochemical, pharmacokinetic, ADMET and drug-likeness properties for the pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines 5a–c, 9a–c and 13a–i confirmed that most of the compounds (i) were within the range set by Lipinski’s rule of five, (ii) show higher gastrointestinal absorption and inhibition of some CYP isoforms, and (iii) have a carcinogenicity test that was predicted as negative and hERG test that presented medium risk. Moreover, the molecular docking study demonstrated that the compounds 5c, 9a, 9c, 13a, 13c, 13d, 13e and 13h are potent inhibitors of 14-alpha demethylase, transpeptidase and alkaline phosphatase enzymes. This study could be valuable in the discovery of a new series of drugs.

Background: Melanogenesis is a process of melanin synthesis, which is a primary response for the pigmentation of human skin. Tyrosinase is a key enzyme, which catalyzes a ratelimiting step of the melanin formation. Natural products have shown potent inhibitors, but some of these possess toxicity. Numerous synthetic inhibitors have been developed in recent years may lead to the potent anti– tyrosinase agents. Objective: A number of 4-hydroxy-N'-methylenebenzohydrazide analogues with related structure to chalcone and tyrosine were constructed with various substituents at the benzyl ring of the molecule and evaluate as a tyrosinase inhibitor. In addition, computational analysis and metal chelating potential have been evaluated. Methods: Design and synthesized compounds were evaluated for activity against mushroom tyrosinase. The metal chelating capacity of the potent compound was examined using the mole ratio method. Molecular docking of the synthesized compounds was carried out into the tyrosine active site. Results: Novel 4-hydroxy-N'-methylenebenzohydrazide derivatives were synthesized. The two compounds 4c and 4g showed an IC50 near the positive control, led to a drastic inhibition of tyrosinase. Confirming in vitro results were performed via the molecular docking analysis demonstrating hydrogen bound interactions of potent compounds with histatidine-Cu+2 residues with in the active site. Kinetic study of compound 4g showed competitive inhibition towards tyrosinase. Metal chelating assay indicates the mole fraction of 1:2 stoichiometry of the 4g-Cu2+ complex. Conclusion: The findings in the present study demonstrate that 4-Hydroxy-N'- methylenebenzohydrazide scaffold could be regarded as a bioactive core inhibitor of tyrosinase and can be used as an inspiration for further studies in this area.

Background: Antimicrobial resistance is major global health problem, which is being rapidly deteriorating the quality of human health. Series of substituted N-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-2-(4-(6-fluorobenzo[d]isoxazol-3-yl)piperidin-1-yl)acetamide (3a-j) were synthesized from substituted N-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-2-chloroacetamide/bromopropanamide (2a-j) and 6-fluoro-3-(piperidin-4-yl)benzo[d]isoxazole (2) and further evaluated for their docking properties and antimicrobial activity. Methods: All synthesized compounds were characterized by FT-IR, NMR and Mass spectral analysis. All compounds were allowed to dock against different antimicrobial targets having PDB ID: 1D7U and against common antifungal target having PDB ID: 1EA1. Results: The compounds 3d and 3h were showed good activity against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA, resistance Gram-positive bacteria). All synthesized compounds showed good to moderate activity against selected bacterial and fungal microbial strains. If we compared the actual in-vitro antimicrobial activity and in-silico molecular docking study, we found that molecules 3i and 3h were more potent than the others. Conclusion: Our current study would definitely pave the new way towards designing and synthesis of more potent 2-aminobenzothiazoles derivatives.
