Abstract
Beta arrestins are a family of adaptor proteins that help in the regulation of signaling and trafficking of various G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). Six oxadiazole derivatives taken from literature are analyzed for anti-cancer properties. The toxicity profiles of all the drugs were similar to Tamoxifen used as control. Data shows that compounds 2, 4, and 6 exhibited comparably significant molecular interactions with the cancerous protein for further consideration.

Abstract
Treponema denticola is a gram-negative bacteria that is associated with periodontal diseases. Literature derived, six indole based oxadiazole derivatives are docked with the target Factor H binding protein (fHbp) protein. Results show better docking interaction compared to clinically proven drugs and all compounds obey Lipinski's rule of five. Hence, the compounds were inferred to be potential inhibitors for factor H binding protein of Treponema denticola.

Porphyromonas gingivalis, a peripathogen, has several methods to impede or modify the protective mechanisms of the teeth. Targeting the inhibition of the heme protein will prevent the organism from multiplying and inhibit the virulence mechanism. The literature derived oxazole compounds (1-5) were docked against the protein's active site, and the results show that the selected oxazole derivatives exhibit better interaction compared to clinically proven drugs.

Abstract
Diabetes is characterized by elevated blood sugar and insulin resistance. In poorly controlled or uncontrolled diabetes, persistent hyperglycemia causes oral and systemic problems. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate biochemical indicators for oral health and diabetes using a fully automatic biochemistry analyzer which separates patient serum from blood samples. Data shows that diabetic oral complex patients showed high RBS, HbA1c, FBS, and PBSS. Thus, dental condition is linked to diabetes.

To identify drug molecules that have better results, homology modeling of the dentilisin protein was constructed, and molecular docking was performed with the oxazole compounds (1-6) taken from previous studies that are not yet clinically used. Data shows that compounds 1, 2, 3 show better inhibiting properties.

In this research we aim to target the gingipain R protein with imidazole quinoline derivatives (1-6) via insilico means. Molecular docking results show, compounds (1-6) have better affinity and amino acid interactions compared to the standard clinically proven drugs used as control group, and they obey Lipinski's rule of five and can be used as potential drug candidates to inhibit gingipain R.

Abstract
Neuroblastoma (NB) is a type of peripheral sympathetic nervous system cancer that most commonly affects children. It is caused by the improper differentiation of primitive neural crest cells during embryonic development. Although NB occurs for 8% of paediatric cancers, it accounts for 15% of cancer-related deaths. Despite a considerable increase in cytotoxic chemo- and radiotherapy, patients in advanced stages remain virtually incurable. Therefore, there is a desperate necessity for new treatment strategies to be investigated. Accumulating evidence suggested that microRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNAs with 19–25 nucleotides lengths and play a central role in the development of NB carcinogenesis. Fascinatingly, miRNA inhibitors have an antisense property that can inhibit miRNA function and suppress the activity of mature miRNA. However, many studies have addressed miRNA inhibition in the treatment of NB, but their molecular mechanisms and signalling pathways are yet to be analysed. In this study, we impart the current state of knowledge about the role of miRNA inhibition in the aetiology of NB.

Abstract
Diabetes is one of the most significant health issues across the world. People identified with diabetes are more vulnerable to various infections and are at a greater risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. The plant-based food we consume often contains many sterol-based bioactive compounds. It is well documented that these compounds could effectively manage the processes of insulin metabolism and cholesterol regulation. Insulin resistance followed by hyperglycemia often results in oxidative stress level enhancement and increased reactive oxygen species production. At the molecular level, these changes induce apoptosis in pancreatic cells and hence lead to insulin insufficiency. Studies have proved that plant sterols can lower inflammatory and oxidative stress damage connected with DNA repair mechanisms. The effective forms of phyto compounds are polyphenols, terpenoids, and thiols abundant in vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds. The available conventional drug-based therapies for the prevention and management of diabetes are time-consuming, costly, and with life-threatening side effects. Thereby, the therapeutic management of diabetes with plant sterols available in our daily diet is highly welcome as there are no side effects. This review intends to offer an overview of the present scenario of the anti-diabetic compounds from food ingredients towards the therapeutic beneficial against diabetes.

Abstract
Periodontitis is attributed to the dental biofilm formation. Red complex organisms are a group of organisms linked with periodontal diseases. Therefore, it is of interest to identify potential targets from the red complex organisms to bind with the herbal
compound resveratrol (E - 5 - (4 - hydroxy styryl) benzene 1,3 diol). We report a list of potential proteins having optimal drug like binding features with the herbal agent Resveratrol for further consideration. We used the STITCH v.5 pipeline VICMPred and
VirulentPred tools to identify such targets as potential virulent factors in the red complex organisms. We considered the strains of Porphyromonas gingivalis ATCC 33277, Treponema denticola ATCC 35405 and Tannerella forsythia ATCC 43037 in the red complex
pathogens for this analysis. Protein targets in the red complex organisms with optimal binding features with the herbal compound resveratrol were thus identified and reported for further consideration.

Abstract
Optimisation of process parameters for adsorption of metal ions viz., Cu2+, Cd2+ and Ni2+ ions on Straw Carbon (SC) was carried out by using Box-Behnken statistics and analysis of variance methods. Response surface methodology with three levels of initial pH (4, 5, 6), dose (8, 10, 12 gl(-1)) and particle size (0.075, 0.090, 0.106m micron) were used in the identification of significance of the effects and interactions in adsorption studies. Response surface methodology requires no assumption and identifies the principal experimental variables and their interactions which have the greatest effect on adsorption. The optimum process parameters for maximum adsorption of Ni2+, Cu2+ and Cd2+ were obtained by this procedure.
