Anti-Bacterial and Anti-Fungal Activity of Xanthones Obtained via Semi-Synthetic Modification of α-Mangostin from Garcinia mangostana
(MDPI, 2017)
The microbial contamination in food packaging has been a major concern that has paved the way to search for novel, natural anti-microbial agents, such as modified α-mangostin. In the present study, twelve synthetic analogs ...
Recent advances on the anti-cancer properties of Nigella sativa, a widely used food additive
(Elsevier, 2016)
The use of naturally-occurring agents to regulate tumorigenesis is on the rise. Several herbal extracts, pure plant-derived active constituents, and food additives have been reported to possess potent anti-cancer properties ...
Stromal Adipocyte Enhancer-binding Protein (AEBP1) Promotes Mammary Epithelial Cell Hyperplasia via Proinflammatory and Hedgehog Signaling
(Elsevier, 2012)
Disruption of mammary stromal-epithelial communication leads to aberrant mammary gland development and induces mammary tumorigenesis. Macrophages have been implicated in carcinogenesis primarily by creating an inflammatory ...
Analysis of macro and micro elemental composition of different extracts and finished products of the medicinal Herb – Terminalia bellirica
(PKP, 2019)
Terminalina bellirica is considered to be a sacred plant with five distinctive tastes (sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and pungent). It stimulates the proper functioning of the digestive system, sensory organs and it is very ...
Preparation and characterization of gatifloxacin-loaded sodium alginate hydrogel membranes supplemented with hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and hydroxypropyl cellulose polymers for wound dressing
(PKP, 2016)
Introduction: The aim of this study is to evaluate gatifloxacin-loaded sodium alginate hydrogel membranes, supplemented with glycerol (a plasticizer), glutaraldehyde (a cross-linking agent), and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose ...
Novel algorithms for accurate DNA base-calling
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013)
The ability to decipher the genetic code of different species would lead to significant future scientific achievements in important areas, including medicine and agriculture. The importance of DNA sequencing necessitated ...
Evaluation of the interaction potential of synthetic ethylene glycol compounds with nuclear Factor κB
(PKP, 2013)
In the last three decades, nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) has been the focus of many researchers who are interested in understanding the various molecular mechanisms involved in inflammatory diseases and cancer. Interference ...
Efficient and simple protocol employing borohydride systems to design a selective osthol-zirconium (OST-Zr) library from potential natural products
(PKP, 2016)
“Drug likeness” of a molecule is the prime criterion for a molecule to exhibit the desired pharmaceutical activity. A pharmacophore, which describes molecular features that are necessary for molecular recognition of a ...
Adipocyte Enhancer-Binding Protein 1 (AEBP1) (a Novel Macrophage Proinflammatory Mediator) Overexpression Promotes and Ablation Attenuates Atherosclerosis in ApoE⁻′⁻ and LDLR⁻′⁻ Mice
(Springer Nature, 2011)
Atherogenesis is a long-term process that involves inflammatory response coupled with metabolic dysfunction. Foam cell formation and macrophage inflammatory response are two key events in atherogenesis. Adipocyte ...
Lactation Defect with Impaired Secretory Activation in AEBP1-Null Mice
(Public Library of Science, 2011)
Adipocyte enhancer binding protein 1 (AEBP1) is a multifunctional protein that negatively regulates the tumor suppressor PTEN and IκBα, the inhibitor of NF-κB, through protein-protein interaction, thereby promoting cell ...
