Abstract
The aim of the presented work involves the isolation, characterization, and evaluation of hepatoprotective potential of Clerodendrum paniculatum flower extracts. For this purpose, petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate, alcohol, and water extracts of C. paniculatum flower were screened for the flavonoid and phenolic content and quantified. Various antioxidant activity assays including 2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), nitric oxide (NO) radical scavenging, 2,2-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), and reducing ability were carried out. Of the above methods, the alcoholic extract exhibited high antioxidant potential and was selected further for the hepatoprotective evaluations. Hepatoprotective evaluation of the alcoholic extract was carried out for carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-intoxicated model systems. Enzymes associated with liver functions were estimated, and histopathological evaluations were carried out to monitor the liver architecture. Prominently, reduced levels of various associated enzymes along with increased protein content were observed when the liver specimen was pretreated with the extract. Moreover, the liver architecture was almost comparable to that of the normal control group. The column chromatographic analysis of the extract revealed 13 fractions to possess high phenolics and flavonoid contents. The best two fractions were identified for in vitro hepatoprotective evaluation in the goat liver model. Furthermore, the GC-MS analyses of the fractions were carried out followed by a library search, to identify the constituents responsible for the hepatoprotective activity which revealed the presence of four major constituents-pilocarpine, glyceric acid, pangamic acid, and gallic acid. An in vitro hepatoprotective study of the isolated fractions showed better activity compared to the whole alcoholic extract, and the results were comparable to the normal group taken as a control. The investigations with an in vitro model suggest that the isolated fraction with rich flavonoid content showed better hepatoprotective activity. GC-MS analysis of the fractions that displayed good hepatoprotective activity suggested the presence of pilocarpine, glyceric acid, pangamic acid, and gallic acid, while HPTLC analysis revealed the presence of quercetin.

Abstract
In the field of drug discovery, isoxazole is a five-membered heterocyclic moiety commonly found in many commercially available drugs. In view of their enormous significance, it is always imperative to unleash new eco-friendly synthetic strategies. Among various novel synthetic techniques in use for isoxazole synthesis, most synthetic methods employ Cu(i) or Ru(ii) as catalysts for (3 + 2) cycloaddition reaction. The particular disadvantages associated with metal-catalyzed reactions are high costs, low abundance, toxicity, a significant generation of waste, and difficulty to separate from the reaction mixtures. In view of these drawbacks, it is always imperative to develop alternate metal-free synthetic routes. This review article highlights a comprehensive overview on the potential application of metal-free synthetic routes for the synthesis of isoxazoles with significant biological interests.

Abstract
Drug resistance in tuberculosis is major threat to human population. In the present investigation, we aimed to identify novel and potent benzimidazole molecules to overcome the resistance management. A series of 20 benzimidazole derivatives were examined for its activity as selective antitubercular agents. Initially, AutodockVina algorithm was performed to assess the efficacy of the molecules. The results are further enriched by redocking by means of Glide algorithm. The binding free energies of the compounds were then calculated by MM-generalized-born surface area method. Molecular docking studies elucidated that benzimidazole derivatives has revealed formation of hydrogen bond and strong binding affinity in the active site of Mycobacterium tuberculosis protein. Note that ARG308, GLY189, VAL312, LEU403, and LEU190 amino acid residues of Mycobacterium tuberculosis protein PrpR are involved in binding with ligands of benzimidazoles. Interestingly, the ligands exhibited same binding potential to the active site of protein complex PrpR in both the docking programs. In essence, the result portrays that benzimidazole derivatives such as 1p, 1q, and 1 t could be potent and selective antitubercular agents than the standard drug isoniazid. These compounds were then subjected to molecular dynamics simulation to validate the dynamics activity of the compounds against PrpR. Finally, the inhibitory behavior of compounds was predicted using a machine learning algorithm trained on a data collection of 15,000 compounds utilizing graph-based signatures. Overall, the study concludes that designed benzimidazoles can be employed as antitubercular agents. Indeed, the results are helpful for the experimental biologists to develop safe and non-toxic drugs against tuberculosis.

Abstract
The emergence of more virulent SARS virus has made scientists look back at other so-called neglected diseases such as dengue, Zika, and chikungunya, etc. Until recently these neglected diseases have not received much attention for their control or elimination from society. Over the past decade several attempts to investigate the pathogenicity, diagnostic, and therapeutic strategies for flavivirus caused diseases have been made. Herein we have reviewed the progress made toward the detection and treatment of two diseases-dengue and Zika. The above flavivirus related pathogenesis is concerned with the host immune system and known to be mediated through various receptors along with antibody-mediated disease enhancement. Moreover, researchers have been progressing toward discovering new drugs and therapeutic methods that target various stages of the flavivirus life cycle to minimize the above caused mortality and morbidity. The available diagnostics are based on serological, small molecule detection systems and point-of-care sensing devices. In this work, we have reviewed the advancements made toward understanding the pathogenesis, diagnostics, and therapeutics of the viral diseases caused by dengue and Zika.

Abstract
Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) as termed by WHO include twenty different infectious diseases that are caused by bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Among these NTDs, Chagas disease and leishmaniasis are reported to cause high mortality in humans and are further associated with the limitations of existing drugs like severe toxicity and drug resistance. The above hitches have rendered researchers to focus on developing alternatives and novel therapeutics for the treatment of these diseases. In the past decade, several target-based drugs have emerged, which focus on specific biochemical pathways of the causative parasites. For leishmaniasis, the targets such as nucleoside analogs, inhibitors targeting nucleoside phosphate kinases of the parasite’s purine salvage pathway, 20S proteasome of Leishmania, mitochondria, and the associated proteins are reviewed along with the chemical structures of potential drug candidates. Similarly, in case of therapeutics for Chagas disease, several target-based drug candidates targeting sterol biosynthetic pathway (C14-ademethylase), L-cysteine protease, heme peroxidation, mitochondria, farnesyl pyrophosphate, etc., which are vital and unique to the causative parasite are discussed. Moreover, the use of nano-based formulations towards the therapeutics of the above diseases is also discussed.

Abstract
This cross sectional comparative study was conducted in the Nephrology and Medicine outdoor and in-patients department of Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Bangladesh from April 2014 to March 2015. A total of 100 patients with CKD and 100 healthy subjects were included in the study. Data were collected by interview of the patients, clinical examination and laboratory investigations using a semi-structured case record form. Among all subjects, 50.0% had no CKD and 50.0% patients had CKD: Stage 3 CKD were 8.5%, CKD Stage 4 CKD were 21.0%, CKD Stage 5 CKD were 20.5%. Serum creatinine was 4.32±3.08mg/dl in patients with CKD and 1.00±0.22mg/dl was in healthy subjects. Mean±SD of CCR/ml/min was found 17.67±11.63ml/min in patients with CKD and 79.31±13.31ml/min was found in healthy subjects. On the other hand, Mean±SD CCCR/ml/m/1.73m² was found 19.79±12.85 ml/m/1.73m² in patient with CKD and healthy subjects had 83.83±13.33 ml/m/1.73m². Urinary creatinine was 45.59±15.63 & 57.66±11.45mg/dl respectively. CKD-EPI eGFR was 22.10±15.02 & 90.61±23.27ml/m/1.73m²; MDRD eGFR was 22.15±14.18 & 89.35±26.19 ml/m/1.73m² respectively. Difference between all the variables between CKD group and healthy group was found statistically significant (p<0.001). CKD-EPIeGFR and MDRDeGFR were increased both in CKD patients and healthy subjects in respect to CCR and CCCR. There was a strong positive correlation between CCCR (ml/m/1.73m2) and CKD-EPI (ml/m/1.73m²) among all patients (r=0.934 and p<0.001) and also a positive correlation of CCCR with MDRD among all patients (r=0.913 and p<0.001). A positive correlation of CCCR was found with CKD-EPIeGFR among CKD patients (r=0.848 and p<0.001). A positive correlation of CCCR was also found with MDRDeGFR among CKD patients (r=0.841, p<0.001). There are positive correlations between CCCR and CKD/EPI among healthy subjects (r=0.616 and p<0.05) and between CCCR with MDRD among healthy subjects (r=0.568 and p<0.05). Various formulae were used to calculate GFR on the basis of serum creatinine levels. The Overall correlation of population (healthy and CKD patients) between CCCR and CKD EPI and MDRD formula was (r=0.93 and 0.91) respectively, among CKD patients it was (r=0.848 and r=0.841) in healthy subjects it was (r=0.616 and r=0.568) respectively. CKD EPI eGFR and MDRD eGFR formula had fairly good correlation with conventional 24 hours creatinine clearance in both CKD patient and healthy subjects, there was even more strong correlation especially in CKD patients. The performance of CKD-EPI equation is better than MDRD equation to estimate the eGFR in both CKD patients and healthy subjects.

Abstract
In this work, a one-pot, telescopic approach is described for the combinatorial library of thiazolidine-2-imines. The synthetic manipulation proceeds smoothly via the reaction of 2-aminopyridine/pyrazine/pyrimidine with substituted isothiocyanates followed by base catalyzed ring closure with 1,2-dibromoethane to obtain thiazolidine-2-imines with broad substrate scope and high functional group tolerance. The synthetic strategy merges well with the thiourea formation followed by base catalyzed ring closure reaction for the thiazolidine-2-imine synthesis in a more modular and straightforward approach. The synthetic procedure reported herein represents a cleaner route toward thiazolidine-2-imines as compared to traditional methodologies. Moreover, the biological significance of combinatorially synthesized thiazolidin-2-imines has been investigated for their use as possible inhibitors for acetyl cholinesterase through molecular docking studies.

Abstract
In this study, a highly efficient two-component [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of substituted aryl aldehydes with 4-toluenesulfonylmethyl isocyanide (TosMIC) in the presence of 2 equiv of potassium phosphate as a base to 5-substituted oxazoles were established in a isopropanol medium under microwave irradiation. However, using 1 equiv of K3PO4 as a base resulted in the diastereoselective synthesis of 4,5-disubstituted oxazolines under identical reaction conditions. The foremost benefits of these protocols are the moderate-to-excellent yields with good functional group compatibility, simple experimental procedure, inexpensive readily available starting materials, nonchromatographic purification, and high bond-forming efficiency. The synthetic manipulation reported herein represents a cleaner route to the sustainable preparation of 5-substituted oxazoles and diastereoselective 4,5-disubstituted oxazolines derivatives.

Abstract
Neurodegenerative Diseases (NDD) are the major contributors to age-related causes of mental disability on a global scale. Most NDDs, like Alzheimer's Disease (AD), are complex in nature - implying that they are multi-parametric both in terms of heterogeneous clinical outcomes and underlying molecular paradigms. Emerging evidence from high throughput genomic, transcriptomic and small RNA sequencing experiments hint at the roles of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in AD. X-inactive Specific Transcript (XIST), a component of the Xic, the X-chromosome inactivation centre, is an RNA gene on the X chromosome of the placental mammals indispensable for the X inactivation process. An extensive literature survey shows that aberrations in Xist expression and in some cases, a disruption of the Xchromosome inactivation as a whole play a significant role in AD. Considering the enormous potential of Xist as an endogenous silencing molecule, the idea of using Xist as a non-conventional chromosome silencer to treat diseases harboring chromosomal alterations is also being implemented. Comprehensive knowledge about how Xist could play such a role in AD is still elusive. In this review, we have collated the available knowledge on the possible Xist involvement and deregulation from the perspective of molecular mechanisms governing NDDs with a primary focus on Alzheimer's disease. Possibilities of XIST mediated therapeutic intervention and linkages between XIC and preferential predisposition of females to AD have also been discussed.

Abstract
Caesarean section (CS) is the most frequently performed major operation in obstetrics. Its frequency is gradually increasing because of extended indications. Now-a-days, caesarean section is also being performed at patient's request in absence of a medical indication. It is necessary to assess the risk and benefits to take a judicious decision to select cases for caesarean section. The cross sectional descriptive type of observational study was carried out among purposively selected 100 pregnant women admitted to the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of Community Based Medical College Hospital, Mymensingh, Bangladesh during the period of August 2011 to January 2012 to identify elective and emergency indications of caesarean section, to identify the common complications to identify the risk factors associated with complications and to establish a comparison between complications of elective and emergency caesarean section. The median age group of patients being operated was 20 to 25 years and operation were carried out on patients due to various indications. Principal indications were faetal distress (26%), PROM (15%), failed progress of labour and breech presentation were 8% each, other indications were eclampsia (4%), obstructed labour (5%), scar tenderness (4%), history of previous 2 caesarian section 5%. The rate of elective caesarean section was 21% while emergency operations were done in 79% of cases. Among the 100 patients 19% patients developed complications. Among the complications wound infection was most common (37%), then post partum haemorrhage and urinary tract infection 26% and 11% respectively. Other complications were abdominal distension, Puerperal sepsis, anaemic heart failure, wound dehiscence and Wound haematoma 5% each. We should try to keep the rate of caesarean section within optimum ranges (10%) as recommended by World Health Organization.

Abstract
Heterocyclic compounds with nitrogen atom play a key role in the normal life cycle of a cell. Pyrazolopyrimidine is a privileged class of nitrogen containing fused heterocyclic compound contributing to a major portion of all lead molecules in medicinal chemistry. The thumbprint of pyrazolopyrimidine as a pharmacophore is always noticeable due to its analogy with the adenine base in DNA. Pyrazolopyrimidines are divided into five types [I, II, III, IV, V] based on the mechanism of action on the specific target conferring a wide scope of research which has accelerated the interest of researchers to investigate its biological profile. In 1956, the anti-cancer activity of pyrazolopyrimidine was evaluated for the first time with appreciable results. Since then, medicinal chemists centered their work on various methods of synthesis and evaluating the biological profile of pyrazolopyrimidine isomers. This report consists of novel methodologies followed to synthesize pyrazolopyrimidine isomers along with a note on their biological significance. To the best of our knowledge, this review article will be first of its kind to encompass different synthetic procedures along with anti-cancer, kinase inhibition, phosphodiesterase inhibition and receptor blocking activity of pyrazolopyrimidine moieties. IC50 values of potent compounds are added wherever necessary to understand the suitability of pyrazolopyrimidine skeletons for a specific biological activity.

Abstract
The tailoring of proteins for specific applications by evolutionary methods is a highly active area of research. Rational design and directed evolution are the two main strategies to reengineer proteins or create chimeric structures. Rational engineering is often limited by insufficient knowledge about proteins' structure-function relationships; directed evolution overcomes this restriction but poses challenges in the screening of candidates. A combination of these protein engineering approaches will allow us to create protein variants with a wide range of desired properties. Herein, we focus on the application of these approaches towards the generation of protein biomaterials that are known for biodegradability, biocompatibility and biofunctionality, from combinations of natural, synthetic, or engineered proteins and protein domains. Potential applications depend on the enhancement of biofunctional, mechanical, or other desired properties. Examples include scaffolds for tissue engineering, thermostable enzymes for industrial biocatalysis, and other therapeutic applications.
