Extraction of wood vinegar from bagasse and its application as bio-reducer to produce stable silver nanoparticles with enhanced antibacterial activity.

Global efforts have been made to address environmental and health concerns by promoting and adopting renewable natural resources. This study investigated the role of bagasse-based wood vinegar to synthesize and stabilize silver nanoparticles. We present a simple bottom-up approach to produce silver nanoparticles using the green reducing agent.

Assessment of the protective effect of vitamin E supplementation on oxidative damage of diabetic rat spleen induced by streptozotocin.

Aims: Increased oxidative stress in diabetes mellitus may lead to splenic damage, contributing to decreased immunity. This study aims to evaluate the potential of vitamin E supplements as a protective agent against spleen injury by examining physiological, hematological, biochemical, and histological changes in diabetic rat model.

Methods: Diabetes was induced in male wistar albino rats through an intraperitoneal injection of 50 mg/kg Streptozotocin, and the rats were randomly divided into five groups.

Repurposing of existing antibiotics for the treatment of diabetes mellitus.

Unlabelled: Proline specific serine protease enzyme, dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-4) has become a promising target for diabetes, as it stops glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) from becoming inactive, resulting in higher levels of active GLP-1. This lowers glucose levels by increasing insulin secretion and decreasing glucagon secretion. DPP-4 is also linked to a higher BMI and a 0.

GreenMolBD: Nature Derived Bioactive Molecules' Database.

Background: One of the essential resources for developing new drugs are naturally derived biologically active lead compounds. Biomedical researchers and pharmaceutical companies are highly interested in these plant-derived molecules to develop the new drug. In this process, collective information of the plants and their phytoconstituents with different properties and descriptors would greatly benefit the researchers to identify the hit, lead or drug-like compound.

Identification of bioactive metabolites and evaluation of in vitro anti-inflammatory and in vivo antinociceptive and antiarthritic activities of endophyte fungi isolated from Elaeocarpus floribundus blume.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Functional disability associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease is a challenging concern in healthcare systems. Along with environmental factors and epigenetic disorders, multiple pathways are reported as prominent mechanism for the progression of RA symptoms including; pain, swelling and stiffness of joints. Elaeocarpus floribundus Blume has been used as a folklore medicine for RA from ancient times.
