COVID-19, a rapidly spreading new strain of coronavirus, has affected more than 150 countries and received worldwide attention. The lack efficacious drugs or vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 further worsened the situation. Thus, there is an urgent need to boost up research for development effective therapeutics affordable diagnostic COVID-19. crystallized form main protease (Mpro) was demonstrated by Chinese researcher Liu et al. (2020) which novel therapeutic drug target. This study conducted...

Eupatilin (5,7-dihydroxy-3',4',6-trimethoxyflavone) is a pharmacologically active flavone which has been isolated from variety of medicinal plants. known to possess various pharmacological properties such as anti-cancer, anti-oxidant, and anti-inflammatory. It speculated that eupatilin could be subjected structural optimization for the synthesis derivative analogs reinforce its efficacy, minimize toxicity, optimize absorption profiles, will ultimately lead towards potent drug candidates....

Pyruvate kinase (PK), a key enzyme that determines glycolytic activity, has been known to support the metabolic phenotype of tumor cells, and specific pyruvate isoform M2 (PKM2) reported fulfill divergent biosynthetic energetic requirements cancerous cells. PKM2 is overexpressed in several cancer types an emerging drug target for during recent years. Therefore, this study was carried out identify inhibitors from natural products treatment. Based on objectives study, firstly, plant extract...

Nature has provided prodigious reservoirs of pharmacologically active compounds for drug development since times. Physcion and physcion 8-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (PG) are bioactive natural anthraquinones which exert anti-inflammatory anticancer properties with minimum or no adverse effects. Moreover, also exhibits anti-microbial hepatoprotective properties, while PG is known to have anti-sepsis as well ameliorative activities against dementia. This review aims highlight the sources...

Resistance development against some frequently used insecticides, i.e., deltamethrin (1.5% EC), cypermethrin (10% SC), permethrin (0.5% WP) and DDVP (50% EC) was evaluated Musca domestica L. Insecticide bioassays were carried out susceptible resistant strains at 2.5, 5, 10, 20 40 µg/µl concentrations.Mortality data recorded after 24, 48 72 hours.Resistance monitored up to three generations the flies with higher LD 50 values than F1 generation considered resistant.LD for Permethrin increased...

The reliance of tumor cells on aerobic glycolysis is one the emerging hallmarks cancer. Pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2), an important enzyme glycolytic pathway, highly expressed in a number cancer cells. Tumor heavily depend PKM2 to fulfill their divergent energetic and biosynthetic requirements, suggesting it as novel drug target for therapies. Based this context, we performed enzymatic-assay-based screening in-house phenolic compounds library identification inhibitors. This identified silibinin,...
