Abstract
The species of Cleome genus are taxonomically included in the family of Cleomaceae and in the order of Brassicales, representing flowering plants with a long history of use in traditional medicine. Phytochemical screening experiments revealed that Cleome species contain a wide range of beneficial bioactive compounds, including alkaloids, essential oils, fatty acids, flavonoids, terpenes, sterols, and anthocyanins, indicating a therapeutic potential. Furthermore, due to the presence of these phytocompounds, there are various plant species in this genus that have demonstrated a wide range of genotypic, chemo typic, and biological activity in several ecological settings around the world. The potential biological actions and pharmacological effects, such as analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, anti-diabetic, antidepressant, antibacterial, anti-arthritic, anticancer, and hepatoprotective are closely related to the active substances contained in various parts of the plants. By centralizing medical data provided by the scientific literature, we offer in the present work a comprehensive perspective on a wide range of bioactive compounds identified from diverse Cleome species, emphasizing the correlation of natural active substances with potential pharmacological activities that can contribute to the improvement of therapeutic management for a range of pathologies. In addition, this review suggests future research perspectives to improve the use of phytochemicals contained in the species of Cleome genus, both in terms of increasing therapeutic efficacy and safety profiles, but also in terms of identifying a possible new pharmacological effect.

Abstract
Ellagic acid (EA), a fruit- and vegetable-derived flavonoid, has been reported for multiple pharmacological activities, which encouraged us to examine its useful effect in severe malaria pathogenesis, especially malaria-induced cytokine storms and oxidative stress linked to damage in major organs. Malaria was induced by injecting Plasmodium berghei–infected RBCs intraperitoneally into the mice. EA was given orally (5, 10, and 20 mg/kg) following Peter’s 4-day suppression test. EA exhibited the suppression of parasitemia, production of inflammatory cytokine storms and oxidative stress marker level quantified from vital organs significantly and an increase in hemoglobin, blood glucose, and mean survival time compared to the vehicle-treated infected group. EA administration also restored the blood–brain barrier integrity evidenced through Evans blue staining. Furthermore, we demonstrated the protecting effect of EA in LPS-induced inflammatory cytokine storms and oxidative stress in glial cells. The present study conclude that ellagic acid is able to alleviate severe malaria pathogenesis by reducing cytokine storms and oxidative stress–induced by malarial parasites. It also attributed promising antimalarial activity and afforded to improve the blood glucose and hemoglobin levels in treated mice. These research findings suggested the suitability of ellagic acid as a useful bioflavonoid for further study for the management of severe malaria pathogenesis.

Abstract
In recent decades, there has been a significant increase in the number of fungal diseases. This is due to a wide spectrum of action, immunosuppressants and other group drugs. In terms of frequency, rapid spread and globality, fungal infections are approaching acute respiratory infections. Antimycotics are medicinal substances endorsed with fungicidal or fungistatic properties. For the treatment of fungal diseases, several groups of compounds are used that differ in their origin (natural or synthetic), molecular targets and mechanism of action, antifungal effect (fungicidal or fungistatic), indications for use (local or systemic infections), and methods of administration (parenteral, oral, outdoor). Several efforts have been made by various medicinal chemists around the world for the development of antifungal drugs with high efficacy with the least toxicity and maximum selectivity in the area of antifungal chemotherapy. The pharmacokinetic properties of the new antimycotics are also important: the ability to penetrate biological barriers, be absorbed and distributed in tissues and organs, get accumulated in tissues affected by micromycetes, undergo drug metabolism in the intestinal microflora and human organs, and in the kinetics of excretion from the body. There are several ways to search for new effective antimycotics: - Obtaining new derivatives of the already used classes of antimycotics with improved activity properties. - Screening of new chemical classes of synthetic antimycotic compounds. - Screening of natural compounds. - Identification of new unique molecular targets in the fungal cell. - Development of new compositions and dosage forms with effective delivery vehicles. The methods of informatics, bioinformatics, genomics and proteomics were extensively investigated for the development of new antimycotics. These techniques were employed in finding and identification of new molecular proteins in a fungal cell; in the determination of the selectivity of drugprotein interactions, evaluation of drug-drug interactions and synergism of drugs; determination of the structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies; determination of the molecular design of the most active, selective and safer drugs for the humans, animals and plants. In medical applications, the methods of information analysis and pharmacogenomics allow taking into account the individual phenotype of the patient, the level of expression of the targets of antifungal drugs when choosing antifungal agents and their dosage. This review article incorporates some of the most significant studies covering the basic structures and approaches for the synthesis of antifungal drugs and the directions for their further development.

Abstract
This review stretches insight about the advancement (2011-2021) of synthesized non-heterocyclic, heterocyclic and natural occurring cyclic molecules for inflammation. While inflammation is very significant in the abolition of pathogens and other causes of soreness, a protracted inflammatory procedure takes to outcomes in chronic disease that might finally affect in organ failure or damage. Thus, restraining the provocative process by the use of anti-inflammatory agents is chief in controlling this damage. It also reveals other pursuit along with their anti-inflammatory activity. Molecular docking studies represent most suitable PDB (Protein Data Bank) ID for the synthesized heterocyclic molecules with their selective inhibitor. It discusses the findings presented in recent research papers and provides understanding to researchers intended for the growth of newer combinations/molecules having littler side things.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to explore the inhibition efficacy of new synthetic coumarinolignans (SCLs) against the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines in two in vivo models of inflammation. METHODS Four SCLs 1-4 were screened for their pro-inflammatory cytokine inhibitory potential through oral administration at a dose of 50 mg/kg body weight in lipopolysaccharide-induced mouse endotoxaemia and carrageenan-induced mouse paw oedema models. Levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, TNFα and IL-6) in blood and paw tissue samples were estimated using ELISA. Paw oedema was measured using a plethysmometer. Results were compared with a natural coumarinolignan, cleomiscosin A (5), and the structure-activity relationship (SAR) was interpreted. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Compound 2 had the greatest potential in the endotoxaemia model, exhibiting 66.41%, 62.56% and 43.15% inhibition of plasma IL-1β, TNFα and IL-6 secretions, respectively. Further dose-dependent study revealed its anti-inflammatory potential even at dose of 10 mg/kg body weight with 24.42% decline in the level of IL-1β. Nevertheless, SCLs 1, 3 and 4 showed marked inhibitory activity with 57.54%, 51.48% and 62.46% reduction in the levels of IL-1β, respectively. Moreover, compound 2 decreased the plasma TNFα and IL-1β levels to 50.03% and 36.58% along with the reduction of paw oedema volume in the local inflammation induced by carrageenan. All compounds including cleomiscosin A (5) were more effective against IL-1β. By studying SAR, the presence of dihydroxyl groups in the phenyl ring of lignans was identified to be essential for the activity. Also, esterification of lignans and presence of a 4-methyl substituent in the coumarin nucleus were found to play some role in enhancing the activity. CONCLUSION All four SCLs, especially compound 2, have shown vast potential to emerge out as promising anti-inflammatory drugs.

Abstract
Suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6) along with nitric oxide reduction in RAW 264.7 cells by 7,8-dihydroxy-4-methylcoumarin, ethyl p-coumarate, ethyl caffeate and ethyl ferulate drove us to search structural-analogues of the aforementioned compounds through structure-based drug design. Docking studies revealed that substituted cinnamic acids and their ethyl esters (2-7c) showed higher GoldScore-fitness (GSF) and non-bonding interactions with target proteins than 7,8-dihydroxy-4-methylcoumarin (1a) and 7,8-dihydroxy-5-methylcoumarin (1b). With this background, the methylcoumarins (1a and 1b) and the cinnamic acid derivatives (2-7c) were fused in different permutations and combinations to generate sixty novel fused-cyclic coumarinolignans (FCLs) (8-13k). Docking studies on 8-13k indicated that several FCLs possess higher GSF, interesting active site interactions and distinctive π-π interactions compared to the standards (cleomiscosin A, diclofenac Na and prednisolone). Based on these findings, four novel FCLs (9d, 10d, 11d and 11e) were synthesized and tested for inhibition effect on TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 expressions in LPS and oxalate crystal-induced in-vitro models. Compound 10d exhibited significant effect (P < 0.0001 at 100 μM) with an IC50 value of 8.5 μM against TNF-α. Compound 11e possessed IC50 values of 13.29 μM and 17.94 μM against IL-6 and IL-1β, respectively. Study on SAR corroborated the requirement of C-4-methyl substituent in the coumarin moiety, dihydroxyl groups in the phenyl ring, and esterification of lignans for potent activity. Additionally, the reported excellent anti-inflammatory activity of cleomiscosin-A-glucoside was corroborated by from the higher GSF and better hydrophobic interactions than cleomsicosin A in the docking study. As an outcome, some novel and potentially active FCLs acting through NFκB and caspase 1 signaling pathways have been discovered as multiple cytokine inhibitors.

Abstract
Coumarinolignans (CLs) are a group of non-conventional lignans having coumarins and phenyl propanes as two C6C3 units linked commonly through a dioxane bridge. The research findings during Jan 2008-May 2018 on this group of secondary metabolites describing their occurrence, structural characteristics, large-scale preparation, synthesis, derivatives, pharmacological activities, and structure-activity relationship are presented in this review. Around 38 CLs have been isolated from 40 plant species belonging to 20 different families during the review period. Reports on the syntheses of CL derivatives are also discussed. The majority of the reported CLs have shown potential anti-inflammatory activities, especially against pro-inflammatory cytokines. The other pharmacological effects exhibited by CLs such as hepatoprotective, anticancer, etc., are also covered in this review comprehending the lacunae in their development into drugs. This article is a continuation of our earlier work on coumarinolignans (Begum SA, Sahai M, Ray AB (2010) Non-conventional lignans: coumarinolignans, flavonolignans, and stilbenolignans.

Abstract
Plumbagin, a vitamin K3 analogue is the major active constituent in several plants including root of Plumbago indica Linn. This compound has been shown to exhibit a wide spectrum of pharmacological activities. The present investigation was to evaluate the ameliorative effects of plumbagin (PL) against severe malaria pathogenesis due to involvement of oxidative stress and inflammatory response in Plasmodium berghei infected malaria in mice. Malaria pathogenesis was induced by intra-peritoneal injection of P. berghei infected red blood cells into the Swiss albino mice. PL was administered orally at doses of 3, 10 and 30 mg/kg/day following Peter's 4 day suppression test. Oral administration of PL showed significant reduction of parasitaemia and increase in mean survival time. PL treatment is also attributed to significant increase in the blood glucose and haemoglobin level when compared with vehicle-treated infected mice. Significant inhibition in level of oxidative stress and pro-inflammation related markers were observed in PL treated group. The trend of inhibition in oxidative stress markers level after oral treatment of PL was MPO > LPO > ROS in organ injury in P. berghei infected mice. This study showed that plumbagin is able to ameliorate malaria pathogenesis by augmenting anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory mechanism apart from its effect on reducing parasitaemia and increasing mean survival time of malaria-induced mice.

Citrus limetta Risso (Rutaceae) is an important commercial fruit crops used by juice processing industries in all continents. Ethnopharmacological validation of an essential oil isolated from its peels may play a key role in converting the fruit waste materials into therapeutic value added products. AIM OF THE STUDY To evaluate the chemical and pharmacological (in-vitro and in-vivo) profile of essential oil isolated from Citrus limetta peels (Clp-EO) against skin inflammation for its ethnopharmacological validation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Hydro-distilled essential oil extracted from Citrus limetta peels (Clp-EO) was subjected to gas chromatography (GC) analysis for identification of essential oil constituents and its anti-inflammatory evaluation through in vitro and in vivo models. RESULTS Chemical fingerprint of Clp-EO revealed the presence of monoterpene hydrocarbon and limonene is the major component. Pre-treatment of Clp-EO to the macrophages was able to inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β) in LPS-induced inflammation as well as the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in H2O2-induced oxidative stress. In in-vivo study, topical application of Clp-EO was also able to reduce the 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced ear thickness, ear weight, lipid peroxidation, pro-inflammatory cytokines production and ameliorate the histological damage in the ear tissue. In-vitro and in-vivo toxicity study indicate that it is safe for topical application on skin. CONCLUSION These findings suggested the preventive potential of Clp-EO for the treatment of inflammation linked skin diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Curcuma longa L. is an important industrial crop used by medicinal and cosmetic industries in the world. Its leaves are a waste material after harvesting rhizomes. The aim of the study was to evaluate the chemical and pharmacological profile of essential oil from waste leaves of Curcuma longa (EOCl) against skin inflammation. METHODS EOCl was subjected to gas chromatography (GC) analysis for identification of essential oil constituents and its anti-inflammatory evaluation through in vitro and in vivo models. RESULTS Chemical fingerprinting using GC and GC-MS analysis of EOCl revealed the presence of 11 compounds, representing 90.29% of the oil, in which terpinolene (52.88%) and α-phellandrene (21.13%) are the major components. In the in vitro testing EOCl inhibited the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced inflammation in the human keratinocyte cell line (HaCaT). Topical application of EOCl produced anti-inflammatory effects by reducing ear thickness, ear weight and ameliorating the level of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β) at protein and mRNA levels as well as regulating the overproduction of oxidative markers and restoring the histopathological damage in a TPA-induced mouse model of inflammation. CONCLUSION These findings of topical anti-inflammatory properties of EOCl provide a scientific basis for medicinal use of this plant material against inflammatory disorders.

Abstract
Centratherum punctatum Cass., a herb belonging to the family Asteraceae has been traditionally used as a curative against diverse disorders like inflammation, tumor, depression, and hypertension. Though the medicinal properties of this plant have been attributed to the presence of flavonoids, glucosides, alkaloids, Vitamin C, etc., the molecular constituents of this plant and of the flavonoids that contribute to its medicinal activity have not been explored yet. This work attempts to evaluate the potential of Centratherum punctatum extract as an anti-inflammatory agent. Ethanolic extracts of Centratherum punctatum analyzed by High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) and Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) identified the presence of the flavones kaempferol, glycoside Isorhamnetin-3-O-rutinoside, and kaempferol-3-glucoside. The plant extract exhibited anti-oxidant property as confirmed by DPPH assay and IC50 value of 271.6 μg/mL during inhibition of protein denaturation, 186.8 μg/mL during RBC membrane stabilization, and 278.2 μg/mL for proteinase inhibition. Membrane stabilizing functions of flavones and flavones glycosides validated the anti-inflammatory potential of the extract. In silico evaluation using a rigorous molecular docking protocol with receptors of Cox2, TNF-α, Interleukin 1β convertase, and Histamine H1 predicted high binding affinity of the isoflavones and isoflavone glycosides of Centratherum punctatum Cass. The interactions have also been shown to compare well with that of known drugs valdecoxib through Gln178, His342, and Gly340, desloratadine (through Lys191 and Thr194) and belnacasin (through Asp288 and Gly287) proven to function through the anti-inflammatory pathway. This work establishes the anti-inflammatory potential of Centratherum punctatum Cass. extract as an alternative to existing therapeutic approach to inflammation through a systematic in silico approach supplementing the findings.

Abstract
We herein report the synthesis of diosgenin analogues from commercially available diosgenin as the starting material. The structures of newly synthesised compounds were confirmed by (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR and mass spectrometry. All analogues were evaluated for in-vitro anti-inflammatory profile against LPS-induced inflammation in primary peritoneal macrophages isolated from mice by quantification of pro-inflammatory (TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β) cytokines in cell culture supernatant using the ELISA technique followed by in-vitro cytotoxicity study. Among the synthesised analogues, analogue 15 [(E) 26-(3',4',5'-trimethoxybenzylidene)-furost-5en-3β-acetate)] showed significant anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting LPS-induced pro-inflammatory cytokines in a dose-dependent manner without any cytotoxicity. Efficacy and safety of analogue 15 were further validated in an in-vivo system using LPS-induced sepsis model and acute oral toxicity in mice. Oral administration of analogue 15 inhibited the pro-inflammatory cytokines in serum, attenuated the liver and lung injury and reduced the mortality rate in sepsis mice. Acute oral toxicity study showed that analogue 15 is non-toxic at higher dose in BALB/c mice. Molecular docking study revealed the strong binding affinity of diosgenin analogues to the active site of the pro-inflammatory proteins. These findings suggested that analogue 15 may be a useful therapeutic candidate for the treatment of inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
From the hexane and ethyl acetate extracts of the leaves of Sesbania aculeata, three novel chemical compounds were isolated and fully characterized as compound 1, (ceramide type); compound 2, (cerebroside type) and compound 3 as a triterpene acid 3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranoside along with nine known compounds (Tricontanol, Lauric acid, Palmitic acid, Heptadecanoyl-1-tridecanoic acid, β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, poriferasterol glucoside, ononitol and pinitol). The anti-inflammatory potential of all three compounds were evaluated using in vitro target based anti-inflammatory activity in LPS-stimulated macrophages. TNF-α is one of the mediators of various chronic inflammatory disorders and treatment of hexane leaf extract (HL), Ethyl acetate leaf extract (EAL) and compounds 1, 2 and 3 at a dose of 10 μg/mL showed significant (P<0.001) inhibition of TNF-α, a pro-inflammatory cytokine. IL-6 was significantly (P<0.05) inhibited by compound 1 and HL at a dose of 10 μg/mL as compared with vehicle treatment. In-vitro cell cytotoxicity study using MTT assay revealed that these compounds were non toxic to the normal cells.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Many of the effective therapeutic strategies have been derived from ethnopharmacologically used natural products. Pluchea lanceolata is an herb employed in Indian folk medicine for malaria like fever but it lacks proper pharmacological intervention. AIM OF THE STUDY To evaluate antimalarial and safety profile of Pluchea lanceolata: an in-vitro, in-vivo for its ethnopharmacological validation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Methanol, butanol, ethyl acetate, chloroform, hexane extracts and its isolate, taraxasterol acetate (TxAc) were obtained from air dried aerial part of Pluchea lanceolata. These were tested in-vitro against chloroquine-sensitive strain of Plasmodium falciparum NF54 by measuring the parasite specific lactate dehydrogenase activity. The most potent hexane extract and TxAc were further validated for in-vivo antimalarial and safety evaluation. TxAc, a pentacyclic-triterpene isolated from the most active fraction was further evaluated with special emphasis on inflammatory mediators involved in malaria pathogenesis. Murine malaria was induced by intra-peritoneal injection of Plasmodium berghei infected red blood cells to the male Swiss inbred mice. Mice were orally treated following Peters 4-Day suppression test. In-vivo antimalarial efficacy was examined by evaluating the parasitaemia, percent survival, mean survival time, blood glucose, haemoglobin and pro-inflammatory mediators involved in malaria pathogenesis. RESULTS Hexane extract and TxAc showed promising antimalarial activity in-vitro and in-vivo condition. TxAc attributed in inhibition of the pro-inflammatory cytokines as well as afford to significant increase in the blood glucose and haemoglobin level when compared with vehicle treated infected mice. We have not observed the synergistic action of combinations of chloroquine and TxAc from our experimental results. In-vitro and in-vivo safety evaluation study revealed that hexane extract is non toxic at higher concentration. CONCLUSION Present study further validates the ancient Indian traditional knowledge and use of Pluchea lanceolata as an antimalarial agent. Study confirms the suitability of Pluchea lanceolata as a candidate for further studies to obtain a prototype for antimalarial medicine.
