This study reports synthesis of flavone hydrazide Schiff base derivatives with diverse functionalities for the cure diabetic mellitus and their a-glucosidase inhibitor in silico studies. In this regard, Flavone 1–20 has synthesized characterized by various spectroscopic techniques. These compounds showed significant potential towards enzyme inhibition activity found to be many fold better active than standard Acarbose (IC50 = 39.45 ± 0.11 µM). The IC50values ranges 1.02–38.1 µM. Among these,...

Abstract. The study was undertaken from September 2018 to April 2019 determine the prevalence of cutaneous leishmaniasis in human beings living six districts Karachi. Suspected persons were screened for disease and positive cases identified on basis skin lesions blood samples. Samples observed by mounting their smear. A total 207 subjects different ages sex groups investigated, however, only 192 (92%) suspected found have 64% male which significantly high (p<0.05), than female 36%. lesion...

Identification of hotspot drug-receptor interactions through in-silico prediction methods (Pharmacophore mapping, virtual screening, 3DQSAR, etc), is considered as a key approach in drug designing and development process. In the current design study, advanced based computational techniques were used for identification lead-like molecules against targeted receptor β-glucuronidase. The binding pattern potent inhibitor ligand-receptor X-ray co-crystallize complex was to identify extract...

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) known as non-insulin dependent mellitus, is a chronic metabolic disorder caused by insulin deficiency or resistance. The incidence of T2DM increasing day day. According to data from World Health Organization (WHO), the number diabetic patients expected rise up 642 million 2040.This alarming situation needs proper treatment control diabetes. Physicians mostly prescribe based medications, but in this new medical era, α-glucosidase inhibitors (AGIs) drug therapy...
