Abstract
Mpox (formerly known as monkeypox) virus and some related poxviruses including smallpox virus pose a significant threat to public health, and effective prevention and treatment strategies are needed. This study utilized a reverse vaccinology approach to retrieve conserved epitopes for monkeypox virus and construct a vaccine that could provide cross-protection against related viruses with similar antigenic properties. The selected virulent proteins of monkeypox virus, MPXVgp165, and Virion core protein P4a, were subjected to epitope mapping for vaccine construction. Two vaccines were constructed using selected T cell epitopes and B cell epitopes with PADRE and human beta-defensins adjuvants conjugated in the vaccine sequence. Both constructs were found to be highly antigenic, non-allergenic, nontoxic, and soluble, suggesting their potential to generate an adequate immune response and be safe for humans. Vaccine construct 1 was selected for molecular dynamic simulation studies. The simulation studies revealed that the TLR8-vaccine complex was more stable than the TLR3-vaccine complex. The lower RMSD and RMSF values of the TLR8 bound vaccine compared to the TLR3 bound vaccine suggested better stability and consistency of hydrogen bonds. The Rg values of the vaccine chain bound to TLR8 indicated overall stability, whereas the vaccine chain bound to TLR3 showed deviations throughout the simulation. These results suggest that the constructed vaccine could be a potential preventive measure against monkeypox and related viruses however, further experimental validation is required to confirm these findings.

Abstract
Rice blast disease, caused by the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae, poses a severe threat to rice production, particularly in Asia where rice is a staple food. Concerns over fungicide resistance and environmental impact have sparked interest in exploring natural fungicides as potential alternatives. This study aimed to identify highly potent natural fungicides against M. oryzae to combat rice blast disease, using advanced molecular dynamics techniques. Four key proteins (CATALASE PEROXIDASES 2, HYBRID PKS-NRPS SYNTHETASE TAS1, MANGANESE LIPOXYGENASE, and PRE-MRNA-SPLICING FACTOR CEF1) involved in M. oryzae's infection process were identified. A list of 30 plant metabolites with documented antifungal properties was compiled for evaluation as potential fungicides. Molecular docking studies revealed that 2-Coumaroylquinic acid, Myricetin, Rosmarinic Acid, and Quercetin exhibited superior binding affinities compared to reference fungicides (Azoxystrobin and Tricyclazole). High throughput molecular dynamics simulations were performed, analyzing parameters like RMSD, RMSF, Rg, SASA, hydrogen bonds, contact analysis, Gibbs free energy, and cluster analysis. The results revealed stable interactions between the selected metabolites and the target proteins, involving important hydrogen bonds and contacts. The SwissADME server analysis indicated that the metabolites possess fungicide properties, making them effective and safe fungicides with low toxicity to the environment and living beings. Additionally, bioactivity assays confirmed their biological activity as nuclear receptor ligands and enzyme inhibitors. Overall, this study offers valuable insights into potential natural fungicides for combating rice blast disease, with 2-Coumaroylquinic acid, Myricetin, Rosmarinic Acid, and Quercetin standing out as promising and environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional fungicides. These findings have significant implications for developing crop protection strategies and enhancing global food security, particularly in rice-dependent regions.

Abstract
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a cytokine that involved in the different phases of wound healing. It is responsible for promoting inflammation, regulating tissue repair scar formation, stimulating the production of extracellular matrix components and recruiting immune cells to the wound site. Therefore, suppressing IL-6 is beneficial for wound healing. However, no small molecules are currently available in the market against the IL-6. As a result, this research gap motivates us to find a potential inhibitor. This study aimed to investigate the wound healing potential of novel β-cycloidal-derived mono-carbonyl curcumin analogs reported in the literature through screening a series of computational studies. The calculated pIC50 value of 18 compounds (below 10) showed that all compounds may have potential therapeutic efficacy. Molecular docking studies revealed that compound C12 (-45.6044 kcal/mol) bound most strongly in the active site of IL-6 compared to the FDA-approved drug clindamycin (-42.3223). The Molecular Dynamic (MD) simulation displayed that lead compound C12 had the highest stability in the active site of IL-6 compared to the reference drug clindamycin. Furthermore, MMGBSA results indicated that C12 (-20.28 kcal/mol) had the highest binding energy compared to clindamycin (-8.36 kcal/mol). The ADMET analysis predicted that C12 are favourable for drug candidates. This study recommended compound C12 as a lead IL-6 inhibitor for future testing and development as therapeutics for wound healing.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes is a major health concern contributing to most of diabetic cases worldwide. Mangiferin and its congeners are known for their diverse pharmacological properties. This study sought to investigate the inhibitory property of naturally occurring mangiferin congeners on sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 protein (SGLT-2) using comprehensive computational methods. The naturally occurring mangiferin congeners were subjected to molecular docking, molecular dynamics (MDs) simulation (100 ns), molecular mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann surface area (MM-PBSA) binding free energy, density functional theory calculations (B3LYP 6-31G basis set), and ADMET approaches to identify potential SGLT-2 inhibitor. The molecular docking studies revealed neomangiferin (-9.0 kcal/mol) as the hit molecule compared with dapagliflozin (-8.3 kcal/mol). Root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) and root-mean-square fluctuation (RMSF) plots from the MD simulations established that neomangiferin stabilizes SGLT-2 better than the dapagliflozin, a standard drug. The MM-PBSA binding free energy calculations showed that neomangiferin (-26.05 kcal/mol) elicited better binding affinity than dapagliflozin (-17.42 kcal/mol). The electronic studies showed that neomangiferin (3.48 eV) elicited high electrophilicity index compared with mangiferin (3.31 eV) and dapagliflozin (2.11 eV). Also, the ADMET properties showed that the hit molecule is safe when administered to diabetic subjects. The current in silico studies suggest that neomangiferin could emerge as a promising lead molecule as a SGLT-2 inhibitor.

Abstract
A series of 1, 2, 4, 5-tetrasubstituted imidazole derivatives were synthesized and their antibiofilm potential against Candida albicans was evaluated in vitro. Two of the synthesized derivatives 5e (IC50 = 25 µg/mL) and 5m (IC50 = 6 µg/mL),displayed better antifungal and antibiofilm potential than the standard drug Fluconazole (IC50 = 40 µg/mL) against C. albicans. Based on the in vitro results, we escalated the real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis to gain knowledge of the enzymes expressed in the generation and maintenance of biofilms and the mechanism of biofilm inhibition by the synthesized analogues. We then investigated the possible interactions of the synthesized compounds in inhibiting agglutinin-like proteins, namely Als3, Als4 and Als6 were prominently down-regulated using in-silico molecular docking analysis against the previously available crystal structure of Als3 and constructed structure of Als4 and Als6 using the SWISS-MODEL server. The stability and energy of the agglutinin-like proteins-ligand complexes were evaluated using molecular dynamics simulations (MDS). According to the 100 ns MDS, all the compounds remained stable, formed a maximum of 3, and on average 2 hydrogen bonds, and Gibb's free energy landscape analysis suggested greater affinity of the compounds 5e and 5m toward Als4 protein.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease is among the major health challenges that currently attract the attention of health care givers and drug discovery and development experts worldwide. This study investigated the acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity of sappanin-type homisoflavonoids isolated from the inter-bulb surface of Scilla nervosa. Molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulation, ADMET and in vitro studies were performed to identify the hit molecules, understand their binding mode and interaction, druggability and establish their inhibitory potentials against acetylcholinesterase enzyme. The hit compounds 5, 2, 1 and 4 were identified as the hit molecules through the molecular docking. The molecular dynamics simulation and MM-PBSA analysis showed the hit homoisoflavonoids established stability and good binding affinity against the acetylcholinesterase enzyme. Also, 5 elicited the best inhibitory activity followed by 2, 1 and 4 in the in vitro experiment. Furthermore, the selected homoisoflavonoids exhibit interesting drug likeness and pharmacokinetic properties as drug candidate. The results suggest further investigations towards the development of the phytochemicals as possible acetylcholinesterase inhibitors.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: PON1 is a multi-functional antioxidant protein that hydrolyzes a variety of endogenous and exogenous substrates in the human system. Growing evidence suggests that the Leu55Met and Gln192Arg substitutions alter PON1 activity and are linked with a variety of oxidative-stress-related diseases. Materials and Methods: We implemented structural modeling and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation along with essential dynamics of PON1 and molecular docking with their endogenous (n = 4) and exogenous (n = 6) substrates to gain insights into conformational changes and binding affinity in order to characterize the specific functional ramifications of PON1 variants. Results: The Leu55Met variation had a higher root mean square deviation (0.249 nm) than the wild type (0.216 nm) and Gln192Arg (0.202 nm), implying increased protein flexibility. Furthermore, the essential dynamics analysis confirms the structural change in PON1 with Leu55Met vs. Gln192Arg and wild type. Additionally, PON1 with Leu55Met causes local conformational alterations at the substrate binding site, leading to changes in binding affinity with their substrates. Conclusions: Our findings highlight the structural consequences of the variants, which would increase understanding of the role of PON1 in the pathogenesis of oxidative-stress-related diseases, as well as the management of endogenous and exogenous chemicals in the treatment of diseases.

Abstract
Human T-lymphotropic virus (HTLV), a group of retroviruses belonging to the oncovirus family, has long been associated with various inflammatory and immunosuppressive disorders. At present, there is no approved vaccine capable of effectively combating all the highly pathogenic strains of HTLV that makes this group of viruses a potential threat to human health. To combat the devastating impact of any potential future outbreak caused by this virus group, our study employed a reverse vaccinology approach to design a novel polyvalent vaccine targeting the highly virulent subtypes of HTLV. Moreover, we comprehensively analyzed the molecular interactions between the designed vaccine and corresponding Toll-like receptors (TLRs), providing valuable insights for future research on preventing and managing HTLV-related diseases and any possible outbreaks. The vaccine was designed by focusing on the envelope glycoprotein gp62, a crucial protein involved in the infectious process and immune mechanisms of HTLV inside the human body. Epitope mapping identified T cell and B cell epitopes with low binding energies, ensuring their immunogenicity and safety. Linkers and adjuvants were incorporated to enhance the vaccine's stability, antigenicity, and immunogenicity. Initially, two vaccine constructs were formulated, and among them, vaccine construct-2 exhibited superior solubility and structural stability. Molecular docking analyses also revealed strong binding affinity between the vaccine construct-2 and both targeted TLR2 and TLR4. Molecular dynamics simulations demonstrated enhanced stability, compactness, and consistent hydrogen bonding within TLR-vaccine complexes, suggesting a strong binding affinity. The stability of the complexes was further corroborated by contact, free energy, structure, and MM-PBSA analyses. Consequently, our research proposes a vaccine targeting multiple HTLV subtypes, offering valuable insights into the molecular interactions between the vaccine and TLRs. These findings should contribute to developing effective preventive and treatment approaches against HTLV-related diseases and preventing possible outbreaks. However, future research should focus on in-depth validation through experimental studies to confirm the interactions identified in silico and to evaluate the vaccine's efficacy in relevant animal models and, eventually, in clinical trials.

Abstract
The human ABCB1 (P-glycoprotein, Pgp) protein is an active exporter expressed in the plasma membrane of cells forming biological barriers. In accordance with its broad substrate spectrum and tissue expression pattern, it affects the pharmacokinetics of numerous chemotherapeutic drugs and it is involved in unwanted drug-drug interactions leading to side effects or toxicities. When expressed in tumor tissues, it contributes to the development of chemotherapy resistance in malignancies. Therefore, the understanding of the molecular details of the ligand-ABCB1 interactions is of crucial importance. In a previous study, we found that quercetin (QUR) hampers both the transport and ATPase activity of ABCB1, while cyandin-3O-sophroside (C3S) stimulates the ATPase activity and causes only a weak inhibition of substrate transport. In the current study, when QUR and C3S were applied together, both a stronger ATPase inhibition and a robust decrease in substrate transport were observed, supporting their synergistic ABCB1 inhibitory effect. Similar to cyclosporine A, a potent ABCB1 inhibitor, co-treatment with QUR and C3S shifted the conformational equilibrium to the "inward-facing" conformer of ABCB1, as it was detected by the conformation-selective UIC2 mAb. To gain deeper insight into the molecular details of ligand-ABCB1 interactions, molecular docking experiments and MD simulations were also carried out. Our in silico studies support that QUR and C3S can bind simultaneously to ABCB1. The most favourable ligand-ABCB1 interaction is obtained when C3S binds to the central substrate binding site and QUR occupies the "access tunnel". Our results also highlight that the strong ABCB1 inhibitory effect of the combined treatment with QUR and C3S may be exploited in chemotherapy protocols for the treatment of multidrug-resistant tumors or for improving drug delivery through pharmacological barriers.

Abstract
Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is one of the leading causes of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI), responsible for infecting people from all age groups-a majority of which comprises infants and children. Primarily, severe RSV infections are accountable for multitudes of deaths worldwide, predominantly of children, every year. Despite several efforts to develop a vaccine against RSV as a potential countermeasure, there has been no approved or licensed vaccine available yet, to control the RSV infection effectively. Therefore, through the utilization of immunoinformatics tools, a computational approach was taken in this study, to design a multi-epitope polyvalent vaccine against two major antigenic subtypes of RSV, RSV-A and RSV-B. Potential predictions of the T-cell and B-cell epitopes were followed by extensive tests of antigenicity, allergenicity, toxicity, conservancy, homology to human proteome, transmembrane topology, and cytokine-inducing ability. The peptide vaccine was modeled, refined, and validated. Molecular docking analysis with specific Toll-like receptors (TLRs) revealed excellent interactions with suitable global binding energies. Additionally, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation ensured the stability of the docking interactions between the vaccine and TLRs. Mechanistic approaches to imitate and predict the potential immune response generated by the administration of vaccines were determined through immune simulations. Subsequent mass production of the vaccine peptide was evaluated; however, there remains a necessity for further in vitro and in vivo experiments to validate its efficacy against RSV infections.

Abstract
Candida auris is a serious health concern of the current world that possesses a serious global health threat and is emerging at a high rate. Available antifungal drugs are failing to combat this pathogen as they are growing resistant to those drugs and some strains have already shown resistance to all three available antifungal drugs in the market. Hence, finding alternative therapies is essential for saving lives from this enemy. To make the development of new treatments easier, we conducted some in silico study of this pathogen to discover possible targets for drug design and also recommended some possible metabolites to test in vivo circumstances. The complete proteome of the representative strain was retrieved, and the duplicate, non-essential, human homologous, non-metabolic, and druggable proteins were then eliminated. As a result, out of a total of 5441 C. auris proteins, we were able to isolate three proteins (XP 028890156.1, XP 028891672.1, and XP 028891858.1) that are crucial for the pathogen's survival as well as host-non-homolog, metabolic, and unrelated proteins to the human microbiome. Their subcellular locations and interactions with a large number of proteins (10 proteins) further point to them being good candidates for therapeutic targets. Following in silico docking of 29 putative antifungals of plant origin against the three proteins we chose, Caledonixanthone E, Viniferin, Glaucine, and Jatrorrhizine were discovered to be the most effective means of inhibiting those proteins since they displayed higher binding affinities (ranging from -28.97 kcal/mol to -51.99 kcal/mol) than the control fluconazole (which ranged between -28.84 kcal/mol and -41.15 kcal/mol). According to the results of MD simulations and MM-PBSA calculations, Viniferin and Caledonixanthone E are the most effective ligands for the proteins XP 028890156.1, XP 028891672.1, and XP 028891858.1. Furthermore, they were predicted to be safe and also showed proper ADME properties.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease, comprising Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), is often debilitating. The disease etiology is multifactorial, involving genetic susceptibility, microbial dysregulation, abnormal immune activation, and environmental factors. Currently, available drug therapies are associated with adverse effects when used long-term. Therefore, the search for new drug candidates to treat IBD is imperative. The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ) is highly expressed in the colon. PPARγ plays a vital role in regulating colonic inflammation. 1,8-cineole, also known as eucalyptol, is a monoterpene oxide present in various aromatic plants which possess potent anti-inflammatory activity. Molecular docking and dynamics studies revealed that 1,8-cineole binds to PPARγ and if it were an agonist, that would explain the anti-inflammatory effects of 1,8-cineole. Therefore, we investigated the role of 1,8-cineole in colonic inflammation, using both in vivo and in vitro experimental approaches. Dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis was used as the in vivo model, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα)-stimulated HT-29 cells as the in vitro model. 1,8-cineole treatment significantly decreased the inflammatory response in DSS-induced colitis mice. 1,8-cineole treatment also increased nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) translocation into the nucleus to induce potent antioxidant effects. 1,8-cineole also increased colonic PPARγ protein expression. Similarly, 1,8-cineole decreased proinflammatory chemokine production and increased PPARγ protein expression in TNFα-stimulated HT-29 cells. 1,8-cineole also increased PPARγ promoter activity time-dependently. Because of its potent anti-inflammatory effects, 1,8-cineole may be valuable in treating IBD.

Abstract
COVID-19 has ravaged the world and is the greatest of pandemics in human history, in the absence of treatment or vaccine the mortality and morbidity rates are very high. The present investigation was undertaken to screen and identify the potent leads from the Indian Ayurvedic herb, Asparagus racemosus (Willd.) against SARS-CoV-2 using molecular docking and dynamics studies. The docking analysis was performed on the Glide module of Schrödinger suite on two different proteins from SARS-CoV-2 viz. NSP15 Endoribonuclease and spike receptor-binding domain. Asparoside-C, Asparoside-D and Asparoside -F were found to be most effective against both the proteins as confirmed through their docking score and affinity. Further, the 100 ns molecular dynamics study also confirmed the potential of these compounds from reasonably lower root mean square deviations and better stabilization of Asparoside-C and Asparoside-F in spike receptor-binding domain and NSP15 Endoribonuclease respectively. MM-GBSA based binding free energy calculations also suggest the most favourable binding affinities of Asparoside-C and Asparoside-F with binding energies of -62.61 and -55.19 Kcal/mol respectively with spike receptor-binding domain and NSP15 Endoribonuclease. HighlightsAsparagus racemosus have antiviral potentialPhytochemicals of Shatavari showed promising in-silico docking and MD resultsAsparaoside-C and Asparoside-F has good binding with target proteinsAsparagus racemosus holds promise as SARS-COV-2 (S) and (N) proteins inhibitor Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
Saikosaponins are major biologically active triterpenoids, usually as glucosides, isolated from Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCM) such as Bupleurum spp., Heteromorpha spp., and Scrophularia scorodonia with their antiviral and immunomodulatory potential. This investigation presents molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulation, and free energy calculation studies of saikosaponins as adjuvant therapy in the treatment for COVID19. Molecular docking studies for 23 saikosaponins on the crystal structures of the extracellular domains of human lnterleukin-6 receptor (IL6), human Janus Kinase-3 (JAK3), and dehydrogenase domain of Cylindrospermum stagnale NADPH-oxidase 5 (NOX5) were performed, and selected protein-ligand complexes were subjected to 100 ns molecular dynamics simulations. The molecular dynamics trajectories were subjected to free energy calculation by the MM-GBSA method. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation studies revealed that IL6 in complex with Saikosaponin_U and Saikosaponin_V, JAK3 in complex with Saikosaponin_B4 and Saikosaponin_I, and NOX5 in complex with Saikosaponin_BK1 and Saikosaponin_C have good docking and molecular dynamics profiles. However, the Janus Kinase-3 is the best interacting partner for the saikosaponin compounds. The network pharmacology analysis suggests saikosaponins interact with the proteins CAT Gene CAT (Catalase) and Checkpoint kinase 1 (CHEK1); both of these enzymes play a major role in cell homeostasis and DNA damage during infection, suggesting a possible improvement in immune response toward COVID-19.

Abstract
At present, the world is facing a pandemic named as COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2. Traditional Chinese medicine has recommended the use of liquorice (Glycyrrhiza species) in the treatment of infections caused by SARS-CoV-2. Therefore, the present investigation was carried out to identify the active molecule from the liquorice against different protein targets of COVID-19 using an in-silico approach. The molecular docking simulation study of 20 compounds along with two standard antiviral drugs (Lopinavir and Rivabirin) was carried out with the help of Autodock vina software using two protein targets from COVID-19 i.e. spike glycoprotein (PDB ID: 6VSB) and Non-structural Protein-15 (Nsp15) endoribonuclease (PDB ID: 6W01). From the observed binding energy and the binding interactions, glyasperin A showed high affinity towards Nsp15 endoribonuclease with uridine specificity, while glycyrrhizic acid was found to be best suited for the binding pocket of spike glycoprotein and also prohibited the entry of the virus into the host cell. Further, the dynamic behavior of the best-docked molecules inside the spike glycoprotein and Nsp15 endoribonuclease were explored through all-atoms molecular dynamics (MD) simulation study. Several parameters from the MD simulation have substantiated the stability of protein-ligand stability. The binding free energy of both glyasperin A and glycyrrhizic acid was calculated from the entire MD simulation trajectory through the MM-PBSA approach and found to high binding affinity towards the respective protein receptor cavity. Thus, glyasperin A and glycyrrhizic acid could be considered as the best molecule from liquorice, which could find useful against COVID-19. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
The objective of the current study was to develop new cocrystals of Apixaban (APX) to improve its solubility and permeability. The molecular interaction between APX and caffeine (CFFN) was further studied by Raman spectroscopy. The results of all eight studied conformers revealed that the synthesized APX-CFFN cocrystals had the highest solubility and permeability. The water solubility and permeability of APX in the cocrystal were simultaneously enhanced as compared with pure APX in the physiological pH environment (pH 6.8 and pH 7.4). The X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the cocrystal has a component molar ratio of 1:1. This was dominated by a three-dimensional hydrogen bonding supramolecular structure. The in vivo pharmacokinetic (PK) study indicated that the mean area under curve (AUC) of APX from the synthesized cocrystal was enhanced more than three-folds than the pure APX. Tablets of APX and APX-CFFN cocrystals were prepared using direct compression method and evaluated for in vitro dissolution profile in phosphate buffers (pH 6.8 and pH 7.4). Computational investigations with molecular dynamics simulations also supported the formation of stable cocrystals. The drug release of APX from the tablets was considerably increased when compared with the pure APX in both pH conditions and it was found to increase with an increase in media pH. The present investigation represents an alternative approach for optimizing physicochemical and PK properties of Biopharmaceutical Classification System class-III drugs without changing its molecular structure and intrinsic bioactivities.

Abstract
This study aimed to identify novel α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitors from Nigerian antidiabetic plants through in silico approach. Virtual screening of the 93 phytoconstituents was performed, and their inhibitory potentials were ranked based on their docking scores. Five hit molecules were selected for each enzyme target with their hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic, electrostatic, and pi interactions analyzed with discovery studio visualizer. The drug-likeness and ADMET studies of the hit molecules were performed to ascertain their druggability properties. Further, three top-ranked hit molecules were subjected to molecular dynamics simulations. The virtual screening, drug-likeness property, and ADMET studies, and molecular dynamics simulations carried out reveal Newbouldiaquinone A, Foetidin, Chamuvaritin, Cajaflavanone, and Azadirolic acid as potential inhibitors of α-amylase while Chamuvaritin, Newbouldiaquinone A, Flowerone, Scoparic acid A and Nimonol were potential inhibitors of α-glucosidase enzyme.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION DGAT and MGAT enzymes play an important role in triacylglycerol (TGA) biosynthesis. Overexpression of these enzymes may lead to accumulation of TGA in adipose tissues causing development of diseases such as obesity and diabetes. High triglyceride levels increase risk factors for atherosclerosis, and increase the risk of heart attack, stroke and other heart diseases. DGAT and MGAT inhibitors are used for the treatment of such metabolic diseases. A number of DGAT and MGAT inhibitors entered into clinical and preclinical stages. However, some adverse effects are associated with them. Thus there is need to develop new, potent and safe DGAT and MGAT inhibitors. AREA COVERED In this review, the authors carefully searched patent literature and reviewed recent advances since the year 2014. Diverse chemical classes reported in the patents belonging to the category DGAT and MGAT inhibitors have been highlighted. EXPERT OPINION DGAT and MGAT inhibitors are now gaining significant importance in the treatment of metabolic diseases. Fused heterocycles with a combination of aromatic and aliphatic hydrophobic substituents could offer more potent DGAT and MGAT inhibitors. Previously reported chemical scaffolds and their DGAT and MGAT inhibitory activity could be employed as an input for some in silico studies to discover novel, potent and safe DGAT and MGAT inhibitors.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection can cause pneumonia and urinary tract infection and the management of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection is critical in multidrug resistance, hospital-acquired bacteremia and ventilator-associated pneumonia. The key enzymes of lipid A biosynthesis in Pseudomonas aeruginosa are promising drug targets. However, the enzyme tetraacyldisaccharide 4'-kinase (LpxK) has not been explored as a drug target so far. Several pharmacoinformatics tools such as comparative metabolic pathway analysis (Metacyc), data mining from a database of essential genes (DEG), homology modeling, molecular docking, pharmacophore based virtual screening, ADMET prediction and molecular dynamics simulation were used in identifying novel lead compounds against this target. The top virtual hits STOCK6S-33288, 43621, 39892, 37164 and 35740 may serve as the templates for the design and synthesis of potent LpxK inhibitors in the management of serious Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection.

Abstract
COVID-19 has ravaged the world and is the greatest of pandemics in modern human history, in the absence of treatment or vaccine, the mortality and morbidity rates are very high. The present investigation identifies potential leads from the plant Withania somnifera (Indian ginseng), a well-known antiviral, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory and a potent antioxidant plant, using molecular docking and dynamics studies. Two different protein targets of SARS-CoV-2 namely NSP15 endoribonuclease and receptor binding domain of prefusion spike protein from SARS-CoV-2 were targeted. Molecular docking studies suggested Withanoside X and Quercetin glucoside from W. somnifera have favorable interactions at the binding site of selected proteins, that is, 6W01 and 6M0J. The top-ranked phytochemicals from docking studies, subjected to 100 ns molecular dynamics (MD) suggested Withanoside X with the highest binding free energy (ΔGbind = -89.42 kcal/mol) as the most promising inhibitor. During MD studies, the molecule optimizes its conformation for better fitting with the receptor active site justifying the high binding affinity. Based on proven therapeutic, that is, immunomodulatory, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory roles and plausible potential against n-CoV-2 proteins, Indian ginseng could be one of the alternatives as an antiviral agent in the treatment of COVID 19.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Solid dispersions are among the techniques successfully employed to enhance the dissolution of poorly water-soluble drugs. Microwave (MW)-assisted evaporative crystallization has been used to prepare solid dispersions of drugs and polymers. OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to investigate the solubility of apremilast (APM) in water by exploring the effect of MW-assisted solid dispersion technology. MATERIAL AND METHODS In the present study, solid dispersions of APM, a poorly water-soluble drug, were prepared. The solid dispersions were prepared using the conventional method (CM) and the MW-based solvent evaporation technique. Microwave energy was used to enhance the solubility and dissolution rate of APM. The physical mixture and solid dispersions were characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Apremilast tablets containing MW-assisted solid dispersions were prepared by the direct compression technique and compared with the marketed formulation (Aprezo tablets). RESULTS The results obtained confirmed the conversion of crystalline APM to an amorphous form. The XRPD pattern of the MW-assisted formulation at a 2:1 ratio suggests the amorphous structure of APM within the formulation. Based on solubility studies results, Syloid® 244FP was selected as the best carrier. The dissolution study results suggested that the APM tablet prepared using MW-assisted solid dispersions at a 2:1 carrier/drug ratio improved the APM dissolution rate compared to the marketed formulation. CONCLUSIONS Based on the results, it can be concluded that the MW-assisted solid dispersion technique may be an effective approach to enhancing the dissolution profile of other poorly water-soluble drugs.

Abstract
Dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibitors are promising antidiabetic agents. Currently, several DPP-IV inhibitors have been approved for therapeutic use in diabetes mellitus. Receptor-dependent 4D-QSAR is comparatively a new approach which uses molecular dynamics simulations to generate conformational ensemble profiles of compounds representing a dynamic state of compounds at a target's binding site. This work describes a receptor-dependent 4D-QSAR study on triazolopiperazine derivatives. QSARINS multiple linear regression method was adopted to generate 4D-QSAR models. A model with 9 variables was found to have better predictive accuracy with [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] (leave-one-out) = 0.592 and [Formula: see text] predicted = 0.597. The location of these 9 variables at the binding site of DPP-IV revealed the importance of the residues Val711, Tyr662, Tyr666, Val202, Asp200 and Thr199 in making critical interactions with DPP-IV inhibitors. The study of these critical interactions revealed the structural features required in DPP-IV inhibitors. Thus, in this study the importance of a halogen substituent on a phenyl ring, the extent of substitution on the triazolopiperazine ring, the presence of an ionizable amino group and the presence of a hydrophobic substituent that can bind deeper in binding pocket of DPP-IV were revealed.

Abstract
The rapid advances in computational methods for the drug design have resulted in the accurate predictions of biological activities of ligands with or without the availability of enzyme structures. 3D-QSAR is one of the computational methods used for such purpose. Currently, freely available 3D-QSAR methods suffer the limitations like complex methodologies, difficulty in the analysis of results, applying the statistical methods and validations of models built. Present work describes simple and novel 3D-QSAR methodology, which uses bash scripts LQTA_R_LJ, LQTA_R_QQ and LQTA_R_HB using freely available R statistical program. These scripts then generate Leenard-Jones, Coulomb and Hydrogen bond descriptors. These descriptors provide the steric 3D property, electrostatic property and hydrogen bond formation capacity respectively. These scripts have been tested for the set of DGAT1 inhibitors and results showed that the 3D-QSAR models built have better predictive abilities in terms of R2 0.735, Q2loo 0.635 and R2ext 0.715. The 3D-QSAR model suggested that the substitutions of the alkyl group at the oxadiazolyl ring at the 6th position of the pyrrolo-pyridazine ring is undesirable, on the contrary, substituted phenyl ring at 7th position is responsible for the improved DGAT1 inhibitory activity. The analysis also suggested that 6th position could be substituted with the oxadiazolyl ring or analogous heterocyclic rings, where the 3rd position of such heterocyclic rings substituted with rigid hydrophobic substitute can improve DGAT1 activity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We present 2 cases of teenager males presented with burning pain in extremities and turned out to be cases of Fabry disease.The purpose of presenting this case is to highlight the fact that suspicion of Fabry disease in patients presenting with these symptoms will lead to early diagnosis and treatment of this condition before occurrences of complications. CASE REPORT 1 A 14-year-old male presented with severe burning pain in both hands and feet since last 4 yrs which persisted despite consumption of painkillers and becoming more disabling and without having any family history for such condition. On general examination patient had small reddish coloured lesions around the umbilicus, appearing like angiokeratomas. Skin biopsy confirmed the lesion. On enzyme assay his alpha galactosidase activity found to be '0' nmol/hr/mg of protein, confirming his diagnosis. Patient's creatinine and 2 D ECHO were normal and urine had 1+ proteinuria. Patient started on carbamazepine tablets for pain and referred to higher centre for genetic diagnosis and enzyme replacement therapy. CASE REPORT 2: An 18-year-old male referred to our hospital by general practitioner for fatigue and pedal oedema with deranged renal function tests. On history taking patient gave history of severe burning pain in both hands and feet since age of 9 yrs. Patient's general examination revealed hypertension with pallor, pedal oedema along with angiokeratomas in bathing suit distribution. Patient's ultrasonography of kidney revealed bilaterally normal sized kidneys with altered echotexture and urine examination showed fine granular foamy cells with sub nephrotic range proteinuria. 2 D ECHO revealed concentric left ventricular hypertrophy. Skin biopsy report supported the diagnosis of Fabry disease. Patient advised to undergo renal biopsy to confirm Fabry nephropathy but patient denied any further diagnostic workup for nephropathy or Fabry disease. Patient started on conservative treatment and carbamazepine in renal dose given for acroparaesthesias. On discharge patient has been advised to visit higher centre for further diagnostic work up and enzyme replacement therapy. CONCLUSION Suspicion of Fabry disease in teenager males presenting with symptoms of burning pain in extremities may lead to early diagnosis and treatment of this condition before occurrences of complications.

Abstract
A 19-year-old woman had angina on exertion, which had existed for 4 years. An exercise test was strongly positive, and selective coronary angiography showed 95% block of the left main coronary artery at its ostium. The patient underwent a successful aortocoronary bypass to the left anterior descending coronary artery. After 1 year and 10 months, she continues to be asymptomatic.

Abstract
Pseudomonas solanacearum produced maximum slime with glucose and least with glycerol. With increasing concentration of glucose, slime production increased. The maximum slime production was observed in the medium containing 1% glucose. The slime contained sugars, sugar acids and amino acids. The bacterium utilized the slime as a sole source of carbon. The growth on slime was more or less comparable to the growth on 0.1% glucose. The viability of the bacterium in slime increased as the relative humidity (RH) decreased. At higher RH the slime absorbed moisture and the viability was reduced. The bacterium could survive only for short period at higher RH under sunlight not in shade. The sunlight seemed to accentuate the harmful effect of RH on the bacterium.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa capable of utilizing carboxin and oxycarboxin as sole sources of carbon and nitrogen was isolated from red sandy loam soil perfused with the solutions of these fungicides. The bacterium hydrolyzed oxycarboxin via the intermediate compound 2-(vinylsulphonyl) acetanilide liberating 2- (2-hydroxyethylsulphonyl) acetic acid and aminophenol, whereas carboxin was first oxidized to its sulphoxide and then to its sulphone before hydrolysis. Further hydrolysis of aminophenol by the organism resulted in the accumulation of ammonium which was partly oxidized to nitrite. Nitrite accumulated in the medium without further oxidation to nitrate.

Abstract
An experiment for studying the effect of lime-pelleting of inoculated seed of soybean [Glycine max. (L.) Merr.] on nodulation, growth, and grain yield was undertaken in red sandy loam of Bangalore, having a pH of 4.0. The results indicated that inoculation alone increased significantly nodulation, plant dry weight, and grain yield. But inoculation plus lime-pelleting significantly increased the dry weight of nodules and plants, but not the grain yield. However, lime-pelleting was found to be beneficial though not essential in acid soils.

Abstract
Incubation of single bulk sample of freshly collected red sandy soil in trays showed immediate response to added nutrients both in dehydrogenase activity and bacterial and fungal populations. The prevailing acidic pH might have been responsible for the observed response of fungi as well. Actinomycetes population did not fluctuate. It was therefore suggested that TTC dehydrogenase technique for measuring the biological activity could be applicable to coarse-textured and more open soils. There were indications that fungi contributed to the soil dehydrogenase activity as well.
