Current Enzyme Inhibition - Volume 13, Issue 1, 2017

Objective: To determine selectivity's single and cluster of the seychellene (CID519743) compound such as cyclooxygenase (COX-1/ COX-2) inhibitor by invitro and In silico analysis. Methods: Fraction of seychellene obtained fractional-vacuum distillation patchouli oil by Pilodist-104. The fraction was determined through IC50 COX-1/ COX-2 value by colorimetric test COX-ovine 760700 and the effect decreases the expression of CO Read More

Introduction: The increased level of ethylene inhibits root elongation and causes physiological damage, thereby reduces ethylene level imparts a positive support against various biotic and abiotic stresses viz. phytopathogens, extreme temperatures, hyper salinity, flooding, drought, metal/organic contaminants and insect predation. The metabolic pathways showed the involvement of ACC synthase inhibition for ethyle Read More

Introduction: HIV viral envelope proteins are targets for small inhibitor molecules aimed at disrupting the cellular entry process. Potential peptide-class inhibitor molecules (rDNA drugs) have been previously identified, with mixed results, through biomimicry and phage display experimental methods. Here we describe a new approach based on computational fragment discovery. The method has the potential to not only opti Read More

Objective: The main study was to synthesize the diaryl oxalates containing pharmacophore groups like eugenol and guaiacol moieties, investigate antioxidant, antibacterial and acethylcholinesterase inhibitory properties and compare with each other. Method: The compounds were screened for their antioxidant properties by employing three in vitro assays like CUPric Reducing Antioxidant Capacity (CUPRAC) and 2,2-Diphenyl-1-Pi Read More

Background: Nine extracts from selected Bryophytes, A. californica, B. pomiformis B. stricta, C. conicum, F. antipyretica var. gracilis, G. lisae, L. sciuroides, M. polymorpha, T. barbuloides were investigated for their total phenolic content and glutathione S-transferase (GST) inhibitory activity. Methods: The flavonoid and phenolic content of nine extracts from Bryophytes were estimated by aluminium chloride and Folin-Ciocalte Read More

Background: Survivin, smallest Inhibitor of Apoptosis Protein (IAP) mediates apoptosis pathway and cell cycle is tumor specific and therapeutic target for cancer research. Breast cancer is a dreadful disease with greater mortality rate, commonly in women globally. Aim: This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of indigenous Plant drugs by in-silico determination of antagonist for Survivin protein that was up re Read More

Objectives: In vitro biological activities of methanolic extracts of five Turanecio species have been studied. Materials and Methods: The phenolic compositions of the extracts were evaluated by the Folin- Ciocalteu assay and by HPLC analysis. Antioxidant activities were determined with two in vitro assays namely, DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) scavenging assay and phosphomolybdenum assay. The antimicrobial activities Read More

Objective: A carboxylesterase (CbE) or carboxylic-ester hydrolase (EC 3.1.1.1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of carboxylesters to alcohol and carboxylate. The objective of this study is to obtain this enzyme from liver and lung of rabbit with a comparison between the effects of two specific substrates, α- naphthyl acetate (α-NA) and p-nitrophenyl acetate (p-NPA) on the enzymes activity. The kinetic characteristic Read More

Background: This paper focuses on one of the most recurrent hypotheses for the antidiabetic effect of medicinal plants by inhibiting the alpha -glucosidase Objective: In the present study aqueous and hydro -alcoholic extracts of eighteen medicinal plants, collected in the town of Laghouat in the steppe region of Algeria, and which are used in the treatment of diabetes, were examined for α-glucosidase inhibition using an in vit Read More
