Article Abstract
Background: Alkaloids are important phytoconstituents obtained from various plant sources. The study's primary goal is to assess the anti-Alzheimer potential of alkaloids using a molecular docking study. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is considered a gradual decline in memory, reasoning, decision-making, orientation to one's physical surroundings, and language.
Materials And Methods: The main target i.e. acetylcholinesterase proteins was selected for the molecular docking study.
Results: The structures of various alkaloids were drawn using Chem Draw Software, PDB was retrieved from the RCSB PDB database, and molecular docking study was performed on Molergo Virtual Docker. The potential alkaloids were identified with anti-Alzheimer potency.
Conclusion: Reserpine, vinblastine, ergotamine, and tubocurarine were found to exhibit potential anti-Alzheimer potency.

Argemone mexicana is one of the known herbaceous plants hosting bioactive isoquinoline alkaloids. In the current study, an endophytic fungal isolate was studied for anti-inflammatory potential and the identification of its bioactive molecule. An endophytic fungus AMEF-14 was obtained from this plant and identified as Cladosporium ramotenellum based on microscopy and molecular tools.

Background: Opioid use disorder (OUD) is commonly treated in specialized care settings with long-acting opioid agonists, also known as opioid agonist therapy, or OAT. Despite the rise in opioid use globally and evidence for a 50% reduction in mortality when OAT is employed, the proportion of people with OUD receiving OAT remains small. One initiative to improve the access and uptake of OAT could be to offer OAT in a primary care setting; primary care clinics are more numerous, might reduce the visibility and potential stigma of receiving treatment for OUD, and may facilitate the care of other medical conditions that are unrelated to OUD.

Gastric cancer (GC) is the third leading cause of cancer mortality globally, often presenting with insidious symptoms that lead to late-stage diagnoses, underscoring the critical need for innovative diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. One such avenue is the exploration of ferroptosis, a regulated form of cell death implicated in various pathological conditions and malignancies. In this study, we demonstrate that brucine, an alkaloid derived from Strychnos nux-vomica, exerts significant antitumor effects on GC cells both in vitro and in vivo.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) has caused tremendous economic losses in the swine industry since emerging in the late 1980s. Although vaccination has been widely used to control PRRS epidemics in Chinese pig farms, they provided limited protection against PRRSV transmission; moreover, no effective therapeutic drugs are available. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop novel antiviral strategies to control PRRSV epidemics.

Unlabelled: Oxymatrine is a quinolizidine alkaloid derived from roots that has demonstrated significant antitumor activity against various cancers, including lung cancer. Recently, combination therapies involving anticancer agents and targeted interventions for dysregulated genes have emerged as a promising strategy to enhance treatment efficacy and overcome drug resistance. This study investigates the synergistic effects of oxymatrine and GIMAP8 in modulating the progression of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD).
