Abstract
Citrus peel is a commonly used food-medicine material in the production of fast-moving consumer goods (FMCGs). For instance, Ganpu tea is manufactured by combining the peel of Citri Reticulatae 'Chachi' (PCRC) with Pu-erh tea. The alleviated irritation of PCRC through years of aging makes Citri reticulatae Pericarpium a traditional Chinese medicine. Herein, we introduced short-term steaming into the processing of PCRC to favor the quick removal of its irritation while retaining its food-medicine properties. Sensory evaluation and volatile component analysis showed that 60-s steaming reduced irritation of freshly prepared PCRC. Biological evaluations indicated no effects of steaming on the neuroprotective activity of PCRC. The process increased the contents of several bioactive ingredients, including hesperidin, nobiletin, tangeretin, and synephrine. In addition, physical indications of accelerating PCRC aging were observed. Taken together, our findings suggest that short-term steaming may offer a promising new possibility for enhancing the quality of citrus peel.

Molecular interactions of the Omicron, Kappa, and Delta SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins with quantum dots of graphene oxide. J Mol Model 2024; 30:203. [PMID: 38858279 DOI: 10.1007/s00894-024-05996-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2024] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/12/2024]
Abstract
CONTEXT The Omicron, Kappa, and Delta variants are different strains of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Graphene oxide quantum dots (GOQDs) represent a burgeoning class of oxygen-enriched, zero-dimensional materials characterized by their sub-20-nm dimensions. Exhibiting pronounced quantum confinement and edge effects, GOQDs manifest exceptional physical-chemical attributes. This study delves into the potential of graphene oxide quantum dots, elucidating their inherent properties pertinent to the surface structures of SARS-CoV-2, employing an integrated computational approach for the repositioning of inhibitory agents. METHODS Following rigorous adjustment tests, a spectrum of divergent bonding conformations emerged, with particular emphasis placed on identifying the conformation exhibiting optimal adjustment scores and interactions. The investigation employed molecular docking simulations integrating affinity energy evaluations, electrostatic potential clouds, molecular dynamics encompassing average square root calculations, and the computation of Gibbs-free energy. These values quantify the strength of interaction between GOQDs and SARS-CoV-2 spike protein variants. The receptor structures were optimized using the CHARM-GUI server employing force field AMBERFF14SB. The algorithm embedded in CHARMM offers an efficient interpolation scheme and automatic step size selection, enhancing the efficiency of the optimization process. The 3D structures of the ligands are constructed and optimized with density functional theory (DFT) method based on the most stable conformer of each binder. Autodock Vina Software (ADV) was utilized, where essential parameters were specified. Electrostatic potential maps (MEPs) provide a visual depiction of molecules' charge distributions and related properties. After this, molecular dynamics simulations employing the CHARM36 force field in Gromacs 2022.2 were conducted to investigate GOs' interactions with surface macromolecules of SARS-CoV-2 in an explicit aqueous environment. Furthermore, our investigation suggests that lower values indicate stronger binding. Notably, GO-E consistently showed the most negative values across interactions with different variants, suggesting a higher affinity compared to other GOQDs (GO-A to GO-D).

[PMID: 38284138 DOI: 10.1002/ptr.8123] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2023] [Revised: 11/30/2023] [Accepted: 12/29/2023] [Indexed: 01/30/2024]
Abstract
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes COVID-19 disease. Through its viral spike (S) protein, the virus enters and infects epithelial cells by utilizing angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 as a host cell's receptor protein. The COVID-19 pandemic had a profound impact on global public health and economies. Although various effective vaccinations and medications are now available to prevent and treat COVID-19, natural compounds derived from medicinal plants, particularly flavonoids, demonstrated therapeutic potential to treat COVID-19 disease. Flavonoids exhibit dual antiviral mechanisms: direct interference with viral invasion and inhibition of replication. Specifically, they target key viral molecules, particularly viral proteases, involved in infection. These compounds showcase significant immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties, effectively inhibiting various inflammatory cytokines. Additionally, emerging evidence supports the potential of flavonoids to mitigate the progression of COVID-19 in individuals with obesity by positively influencing lipid metabolism. This review aims to elucidate the molecular structure of SARS-CoV-2 and the underlying mechanism of action of flavonoids on the virus. This study evaluates the potential anti-SARS-CoV-2 properties exhibited by flavonoid compounds, with a specific interest in their structure and mechanisms of action, as therapeutic applications for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19. Nevertheless, a significant portion of existing knowledge is based on theoretical frameworks and findings derived from in vitro investigations. Further research is required to better assess the effectiveness of flavonoids in combating SARS-CoV-2, with a particular emphasis on in vivo and clinical investigations.

Medical prospects of cryptosporidiosis in vivo control using biofabricated nanoparticles loaded with Cinnamomum camphora extracts by Ulva fasciata. Vet World 2024; 17:108-124. [PMID: 38406364 PMCID: PMC10884584 DOI: 10.14202/vetworld.2024.108-124] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2023] [Accepted: 11/28/2023] [Indexed: 02/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Background and Aim Global efforts are continuing to develop preparations against cryptosporidiosis. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of biosynthesized Ulva fasciata loading Cinnamomum camphora oil extract on new zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs shorten to ZnNPs) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as alternative treatments for Cryptosporidium parvum experimental infection in rats. Materials and Methods Oil extract was characterized by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, loaded by U. fasciata on ionic-based ZnO and NPs, and then characterized by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. Biosafety and toxicity were investigated by skin tests. A total of 105 C. parvum oocysts/rat were used (n = 81, 2-3 W, 80-120 g, 9 male rats/group). Oocysts shedding was counted for 21 d. Doses of each preparation in addition to reference drug were administered daily for 7 d, starting on post-infection (PI) day (3). Nitazoxanide (100 mg) was used as the reference drug. After 3 weeks, the rats were sacrificed for postmortem examination and histopathological examination. Two blood samples/rat/group were collected on the 21st day. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid blood samples were also used for analysis of biochemistry, hematology, immunology, micronucleus prevalence, and chromosomal abnormalities. Results C. camphora leaves yielded 28.5 ± 0.3 g/kg oil and 20 phycocompounds were identified. Spherical and rod-shaped particles were detected at 10.47-30.98 nm and 18.83-38.39 nm, respectively. ZnNPs showed the earliest anti-cryptosporidiosis effect during 7-17 d PI. Other hematological, biochemical, immunological, histological, and genotoxicity parameters were significantly fruitful; hence, normalized pathological changes induced by infestation were observed in the NPs treatments groups against the infestation-free and Nitazoxanide treated group. Conclusion C. camphora, U. fasciata, ZnNPs, and AgNPs have refluxed the pathological effects of infection as well as positively improved host physiological condition by its anticryptosporidial immunostimulant regenerative effects with sufficient ecofriendly properties to be proposed as an alternative to traditional drugs, especially in individuals with medical reactions against chemical commercial drugs.

Abstract
Since ancient times, Azadirachta indica, or Neem, has been a well-known species of plant that produces a broad range of bioactive terpenoid chemicals that are involved in a variety of biological functions. Understanding the molecular mechanisms that are responsible for the biosynthesis and control of terpenoid synthesis is majorly dependent on successfully identifying the genes that are involved in their production. This review provides an overview of the recent developments concerning the identification of genes in A. indica that are responsible for the production of terpenoids. Numerous candidate genes encoding enzymes that are involved in the terpenoid biosynthesis pathway have been found through the use of transcriptomic and genomic techniques. These candidate genes include those that are responsible for the precursor synthesis, cyclization, and modification of terpenoid molecules. In addition, cutting-edge omics technologies, such as metabolomics and proteomics, have helped to shed light on the intricate regulatory networks that govern terpenoid biosynthesis. These networks are responsible for the production of terpenoids. The identification and characterization of genes involved in terpenoid biosynthesis in A. indica presents potential opportunities for genetic engineering and metabolic engineering strategies targeted at boosting terpenoid production as well as discovering novel bioactive chemicals.

Abstract
Calcineurin is a serine-threonine protein phosphatase that is activated with the binding of calmodulin in the presence of increased calcium concentration and has a major role in various signaling pathways. Its role in regulating homeostasis, developmental processes, and different disease progression has already been reported. The dysregulated Ca2+/calcineurin/NFAT1-4 pathway is observed in Autoimmune disorders and hence the use of Calcineurin inhibitors like Cyclosporin A (CsA) and Tacrolimus (FK506) is widely done in such cases. Recent studies indicate the uncontrolled overexpression of the Calcineurin protein in the pathophysiological pathway of neurodegenerative diseases. The in vitro and animal model studies with standard calcineurin inhibitors (CnIs), which are widely labeled as immunosuppressant drugs, have shown a significant reduction of neurodegeneration in respective models. These results compel the identification of novel calcineurin inhibitors against neurodegenerative diseases. With this scenario, the present work focuses on the computer-aided identification of novel CnIs via ligand-based 3-D pharmacophore modelling. Known CnIs, CsA, and FK506, were used to build the pharmacophore models which were validated and screened against external databases to retrieve possible hits. Docking investigations, pharmacokinetic properties, and molecular dynamics simulations along with toxicity predictions were performed on the hits that were obtained. According to the study, a total of 5 molecules ILB 162, ILB 005, ILB 439, ILB 390, and ILB 198, were found to be the best calcineurin inhibitors with binding affinity in the range of -9.7 to -9.0 Kcal/mol with 1MF8 (PDB). The stability of interactions of these molecules was further validated via Molecular dynamics simulation studies to confirm these to be the potential calcineurin-inhibiting molecules. HIGHLIGHTSCalcineurin inhibitors can be a novel therapeutic candidate against neurodegenerative diseases.The identification of novel Calcineurin inhibitors was done in silico using ligand-based 3-D pharmacophore modelling using Ligand Scout Essential 4.4. software.The model could identify 440 hits from various external databases like PubChem (2432 molecules), ChemSpider, MayBridge, DrugBank, and e-Drug 3D by Cheminformatic Tools and Databases for Pharmacology.Out of which 5 molecules: ILB 162, ILB 005, ILB 439, ILB 390, and ILB 198, were found to be the best calcineurin inhibitors with binding affinity in the range of -9.7 to -9.0 Kcal/mol with 1MF8 (PDB) which were further confirmed to be the best CnI candidates via Molecular dynamics simulation studies.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
A balanced microbiota composition is requisite for normal physiological functions of the human body. However, several environmental factors such as air pollutants may perturb the human microbiota composition. It is noticeable that currently around 99% of the world's population is breathing polluted air. Air pollution's debilitating health impacts have been studied scrupulously, including in the human gut microbiota. Nevertheless, air pollution's impact on other microbiotas of the human body is less understood so far. In the present review, the authors have summarized and discussed recent studies' outcomes related to air pollution-driven microbiotas' dysbiosis (including oral, nasal, respiratory, gut, skin, and thyroid microbiotas) and its potential multi-organ health risks.
