Background: Since time immemorial the ethnic community of Mayrubhanj District, Odisha, India has preferred to Olecophylla smaragdina as traditional medicine for their multiple ailments. Hence, the objective of the investigation is to scientifically examine the myth behind ethno-zoological claims using chemometric analysis as well as in vitro and in silico study. Methods: The maceration method was used for the extraction of O. smaragdina using hexane and methanol. In this study, various bioactive compounds of O. smaragdina were identified through GC MS analysis followed by an antimicrobial activity. The species was further studied for their binding modes for in silico inhibition of a choice of bacterial proteins using Biovia Discovery studio software. Results: Tetradecanoic acid, hexadecanoic acid, methyl ester, hexadecenoic acid, n-hexadecanoic acid, 9-octadecenoic acid, methyl ester, oleic acid, 9-octadecenamide are some important bioactive constituents identified through GCMS analysis. The hexane extract was found to be maximum inhibitory activity against Staphyllococus aureus. The % inhibitory activity of hexane and methanolic extract against S. aureus at a concentration of 400 μg/mL was found to be 90 and 83%, respectively. The high inhibitory capacity of the n-hexane extract was comparable to the standard drug Gentamycin which further supported the high receptor binding affinity of identified compound Octadecanoic acid towards Tyrosol-t RNA synthetase of staphylococcus aureus (PDB ID: 1JIK). Conclusion: Interestingly, this is probably the first report that the obtained bioactive molecules from O. smaragdina showed that binding site identification to carry out molecular docking studies and results showed that the better affinity to bind with suitable targeted moiety.

LC-MS-assisted metabolomic profiling of the Red Sea-derived brown algae Sargassum cinereum “Sargassaceae” dereplicated eleven compounds 1–11. Further phytochemical investigation afforded two new aryl cresol 12–13, along with eight known compounds 14–21. Both new metabolites, along with 19, showed moderate in vitro antiproliferative activity against HepG2, MCF-7, and Caco-2. Pharmacophore-based virtual screening suggested both 5-LOX and 15-LOX as the most probable target linked to their observed antiproliferative activity. The in vitro enzyme assays revealed 12 and 13 were able to inhibit 5-LOX more preferentially than 15-LOX, while 19 showed a convergent inhibitory activity toward both enzymes. Further in-depth in silico investigation revealed the molecular interactions inside both enzymes’ active sites and explained the varying inhibitory activity for 12 and 13 toward 5-LOX and 15-LOX.

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), overexpressed in many types of cancer, has been proved as a high potential target for targeted cancer therapy due to its role in regulating proliferation and survival of cancer cells. In the present study, a series of designed vinyl sulfone derivatives was screened against EGFR tyrosine kinase (EGFR-TK) using in silico and in vitro studies. The molecular docking results suggested that, among 78 vinyl sulfones, there were eight compounds that could interact well with the EGFR-TK at the ATP-binding site. Afterwards, these screened compounds were tested for the inhibitory activity towards EGFR-TK using ADP-Glo™ kinase assay, and we found that only VF16 compound exhibited promising inhibitory activity against EGFR-TK with the IC50 value of 7.85 ± 0.88 nM. In addition, VF16 showed a high cytotoxicity with IC50 values of 33.52 ± 2.57, 54.63 ± 0.09, and 30.38 ± 1.37 µM against the A431, A549, and H1975 cancer cell lines, respectively. From 500-ns MD simulation, the structural stability of VF16 in complex with EGFR-TK was quite stable, suggesting that this compound could be a novel small molecule inhibitor targeting EGFR-TK.

Drug repurposing is commonly employed in the search for potential therapeutic agents. Andrographis paniculata, a medicinal plant commonly used for symptomatic relief of the common cold, and its phytoconstituent andrographolide, have been repeatedly identified as potential antivirals against SARS-CoV-2. In light of new evidence emerging since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, this rapid review was conducted to identify and evaluate the current SARS-CoV-2 antiviral evidence for A. paniculata, andrographolide, and andrographolide analogs. A systematic search and screen strategy of electronic databases and gray literature was undertaken to identify relevant primary articles. One target-based in vitro study reported the 3CLpro inhibitory activity of andrographolide as being no better than disulfiram. Another Vero cell-based study reported potential SARS-CoV-2 inhibitory activity for both andrographolide and A. paniculata extract. Eleven in silico studies predicted the binding of andrographolide and its analogs to several key antiviral targets of SARS-CoV-2 including the spike protein-ACE-2 receptor complex, spike protein, ACE-2 receptor, RdRp, 3CLpro, PLpro, and N-protein RNA-binding domain. In conclusion, in silico and in vitro studies collectively suggest multi-pathway targeting SARS-CoV-2 antiviral properties of andrographolide and its analogs, but in vivo data are needed to support these predictions.
