Abstract
BACKGROUND Phenolic acids have recently gained considerable attention because of their numerous practical, biological, and pharmacological benefits. Various polyphenolic compounds are widely distributed in plant sources. Flavonoids and phenolic acids are the two main polyphenolic compounds that many plants contain abundant polyphenols. Chlorogenic acid, one of the most abundant phenolic acids, has various biological activities, but it is chemically unstable and degrades into other compounds or different enzymatic processes. METHODS In this review, we have studied many publications about CA and its derivatives. CA derivatives were classified into three categories in terms of structure and determined each part's effects on the body. The biological evaluations, structure-activity relationship, and mechanism of action of CA derivatives were investigated. The search databases for this review were ScienceDirect, Scopus, Pub- Med and google scholar. RESULTS Many studies have reported that CA derivatives have demonstrated several biological effects, including anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbes, anti-mutation, anti-carcinogenic, anti-viral, anti-hypercholesterolemia, anti-hypertensive, anti-bacterial, and hypoglycemic actions. The synthesis of new stable CA derivatives can enhance its metabolic stability and biological activity. CONCLUSION The present study represented different synthetic methods and biological activities of CA derivatives. These compounds showed high antioxidant activity across a wide range of biological effects. Our goal was to help other researchers design and develop stable analogs of CA for the improvement of its metabolic stability and the promotion of its biological activity.

Abstract
Introduction: Cancer is a vast group of diseases comprising abnormal cells that multiply and grow uncontrollably, and it is one of the top causes of death globally. Several types of cancers are diagnosed, but the incidence of breast cancer, especially in postmenopausal women, is increasing daily. Chemotherapeutic agents used to treat cancer are generally associated with severe side effects on host cells, which has led to a search for safe and potential alternatives. Therefore, the present research has been conducted to find novel bioactive molecules to treat breast cancer with chlorogenic acid and its derivatives. Chlorogenic acid was selected because of its known activity in the field. Methods: Several chlorogenic acid derivatives were subjected to computational studies such as molecular docking, determination of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME), druglikeness, toxicity, and prediction of activity spectra for substances (PASS) to develop a potential inhibitor of breast cancer. The Protein Data Bank (PDB) IDs used for docking purposes were 7KCD, 3ERT, 6CHZ, 3HB5, and 1U72. Result: Exhaustive analysis of results has been conducted by considering various parameters, like docking score, binding energy, types of interaction with important amino acid residues in the binding pocket, ADME, and toxicity data of compounds. Among all the selected derivatives, CgE18, CgE11, CgAm13, CgE16, and CgE9 have astonishing interactions, excellent binding energy, and better stability in the active site of targeted proteins. The docking scores of compound CgE18 were -11.63 kcal/mol, -14.15 kcal/mol, and -12.90 kcal/mol against breast cancer PDB IDs 7KCD, 3HB5, and 1U72, respectively. The docking scores of compound CgE11 were -10.77 kcal/mol and -9.11 kcal/mol against breast cancer PDB IDs 3ERT and 6CHZ, respectively, whereas the docking scores of epirubicin hydrochloride were -3.85 kcal/mol, -6.4 kcal/mol, -8.76 kcal/mol, and -10.5 kcal/mol against PDB IDs 7KCD, 3ERT, 6CHZ, and 3HB5. The docking scores of 5-fluorouracil were found to be -5.25 kcal/mol, -3.43 kcal/mol, -3.73 kcal/mol, and -5.29 kcal/mol against PDB IDs 7KCD, 3ERT, 6CHZ, and 3HB5, which indicates the designed compounds have a better docking score than some standard drugs. Conclusion: Taking into account the results of molecular docking, drug likeness analysis, absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) evaluation, and PASS, it can be concluded that chlorogenic acid derivatives hold promise as potent inhibitors for the treatment of breast cancer.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori is a Gram-negative microaerophilic gastric pathogen, responsible for the cause of peptic ulcer around half of the global population. Although several antibiotics and combination therapies have been employed for H. pylori-related gastric ulcer and cancer regiments, identifying potent inhibitors for specific targets of this bacterium will help assessing better treatment periodicity and methods to eradicate H. pylori. Herein, 1,000,000 natural compounds were virtually screened against Helicobacter pylori Peptide deformylase (HpPDF). Pharmacophore hypotheses were created using ligand and receptor-based pharmacophore modeling of GLIDE. Stringent HTVS and IFD docking protocol of GLIDE predicted leads with stable intermolecular bonds and scores. Molecular dynamics simulation of HpPDF was carried out for 100 ns using GROMACS. Hits ZINC00225109 and ZINC44896875 came up with a glide score of -9.967 kcal/mol and -12.114 kcal/mol whereas; reference compound actinonin produced a glide score of -9.730 kcal/mol. Binding energy values of these hits revealed the involvement of significant Van der Waals and Coulomb forces and the deduction of lipophilic forces that portray the deep hydrophobic residues in the S1pocket of H. pylori. The DFT analysis established the electron density-based features of the molecules and observed that the results correlate with intermolecular docking interactions. Analysis of the MD trajectories revealed the crucial residues involved in HpPDF - ligand binding and the conformational changes in the receptor. We have identified and deciphered the crucial features necessary for the potent ligand binding at catalytic site of HpPDF. The resulting ZINC natural compound hits from the study could be further employed for potent drug development.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Urease is a kind of enzyme which could be found in various bacteria, fungi, plants, and algae, which can quickly catalyze the hydrolysis of urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide. With the ammonia concentration increasing, the activity of Helicobacter pylori has got an obvious enhancement and leads to mucosal damage in the stomach, gastroduodenal infection, peptic ulcers, and gastric cancer. The infectious diseases caused by Helicobacter pylori can be controlled to a certain extent by inhibiting urease activity with urease inhibitors. Hence, studies of urease inhibitors have attracted great attention all over the world and a variety of effective urease inhibitors have been synthesized in recent years. In this review, we will draw summaries for these inhibitors including urease inhibitory activity, inhibition kinetics, structure-activity relationship, and molecular docking. The collected information is expected to provide rational guidance and effective strategy to develop novel, potent, and safe urease inhibitors for better practical applications in the future.

Abstract
Petroleum ether (PE), chloroform (CH), ethyl acetate (EA) and n-butanol (BU) fractions were obtained from ethanol extracts of the roots (SPR) and the above ground (SPH) parts of S. pygmaea. PE fractions were evaluated by GC-MS for profiling the terpenoids and the fatty acids of the plant. 29 compounds in total including saturated (major palmitic acid), unsaturated (major linoleic acid) fatty acids and triterpenes were tentatively determined. Short-term extraction methods might be preferred to avoid esterification of fatty acids. Phytochemical profiles of SPR-PE and SPH-PE were found to be similar to each other and to other few Scorzonera species reported previously. These results will contribute to the chemotaxonomic studies about the genus which is considered taxonomically complex genus. Activity studies were carried out using kojic acid (87.10% inhibition) standard for tyrosinase and thiourea (95.83% inhibition) standard for urease. SPR-CH was determined as the most potent fraction with 55.94% and 55.10% inhibition of tyrosinase and urease respectively at the same concentration of the standards (200 microgram/mL). These moderate results might be considered encouraging for more detailed studies to determine the active compounds and to evaluate the plant's potential in pharmaceutical, food and cosmetic industries in terms of tyrosinase and urease inhibition.

Abstract
Caffeic acid is a plant-derived compound that is classified as hydroxycinnamic acid which contains both phenolic and acrylic functional groups. Caffeic acid has been greatly employed as an alternative strategy to combat microbial pathogenesis and chronic infection induced by microbes such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Similarly, several derivatives of caffeic acid such as sugar esters, organic esters, glycosides, and amides have been chemically synthesized or naturally isolated as potential antimicrobial agents. To overcome the issue of water insolubility and poor stability, caffeic acid and its derivative have been utilized either in conjugation with other bioactive molecules or in nanoformulation. Besides, caffeic acid and its derivatives have also been applied in combination with antibiotics or photoirradiation to achieve a synergistic mode of action. The present review describes the antimicrobial roles of caffeic acid and its derivatives exploited either in free form or in combination or in nanoformulation to kill a diverse range of microbial pathogens along with their mode of action. The chemistry employed for the synthesis of the caffeic acid derivatives has been discussed in detail as well.

Identification of immucillin analogue natural compounds to inhibit Helicobacter pylori MTAN through high throughput virtual screening and molecular dynamics simulation.

Abstract
Abstract One in every two humans is having Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) in stomach causing gastric ulcer. Emergence of several drugs in eliminating H. pylori has paved way for emergence of multidrug resistance in them. This resistance is thriving and thereby necessitating the need of a potent drug. Identifying a potential target for medication is crucial. Bacterial 5'-methylthioadenosine/S-enosyl homocysteine nucleosidase (MTAN) is a multifunctional enzyme that controls seven essential metabolic pathways. It functions as a catalyst in the hydrolysis of the N-ribosidic bond of adenosine-based metabolites: S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH), 5'-methylthioadenosine (MTA), 5'-deoxyadenosine (5'-DOA), and 6-amino-6-deoxyfutalosine. H. pylori unlike other bacteria and humans utilises an alternative pathway for menaquinone synthesis. It utilises Futosiline pathway for menaquinone synthesis which are obligatory component in electron transport pathway. Therefore, the enzymes functioning in this pathway represent them-self as a point of attack for new medications. We targeted MTAN protein of H. pylori to find out a potent natural hit to inhibit its growth. A comparative analysis was made with potent H. pylori MTAN (HpMTAN) known inhibitor, 5'-butylthio-DADMe-Immucillin-A (BuT-DADMe-ImmA) and ZINC natural subset database. Optimized ligands from the ZINC natural database were virtually screened using ligand based pharmacophore hypothesis to obtain the most efficient and potent inhibitors for HpMTAN. The screened leads were evaluated for their therapeutic likeness. Furthermore, the ligands that passed the test were subjected for MM-GBSA with MTAN to reveal the essential features that contributes selectivity. The results showed that Van der Waals contributions play a central role in determining the selectivity of MTAN. Molecular dynamics (MD) studies were carried out for 100 ns to assess the stability of ligands in the active site. MD analysis showed that binding of ZINC00490333 with MTAN is stable compared to reference inhibitor molecule BuT-DADMe-ImmA. Among the natural inhibitors screened after various docking procedures ZINC00490333 has highest binding score for HpMTAN (- 13.987). The ZINC inhibitor was successful in reproducing the BuT-DADMe-ImmA interactions with HpMTAN. Hence we suggest that ZINC00490333 compound may represent as a good lead in designing novel potent inhibitors of HpMTAN. This in silico approach indicates the potential of this molecule for advancing a further step in gastric ulcer treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic exposure to arsenic (As) leads to serious renal disorders. Chlorogenic acid (CGA), a phenolic compound, has several well known physiological benefits, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. The present study investigated the potential renoprotective effects of CGA on sodium arsenite (NaAsO2 )-induced kidney damage in mice. The mice were randomly allocated into five groups to receive daily treatment with CGA (200 mg kg-1 ), NaAsO2 (5 mg kg-1 ), NaAsO2 + CGA (100 mg kg-1 ), NaAsO2 + CGA (200 mg kg-1 ), or a control for 28 days. RESULTS In the NaAsO2 -treated group, NaAsO2 induced significant renal dysfunction, oxidative damage, inflammation, and apoptosis, as demonstrated by marked increases in urea and creatinine levels accompanied by a decrease in the kidney index. Considerable increases in malondialdehyde and nitric oxide levels and parallel decreases in various antioxidant markers (superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, and glutathione) levels were also detected in the renal tissues of NaAsO2 -treated mice. NaAsO2 exposure was associated with marked increases in renal inflammatory markers (interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α) and apoptosis indicators including Bax and caspase-3 levels contaminant, with a marked decrease in Bcl-2, an anti-apoptotic protein, in the NaAsO2 -treated group compared with the control group. However, pretreatment with CGA substantially mitigated the renal injury and dysfunction associated with NaAsO2 exposure by reducing tissue inflammation and apoptosis and improving the antioxidant status. The CGA pretreatment also alleviated the NaAsO2 -induced histological alterations in renal tissues. CONCLUSION Taken together, our results suggest the efficacy of CGA in alleviating As-mediated renal tissue damage. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.
