Antibacterial activity was determined using disc diffusion assay. In vivo wound healing potential was determined in rabbits after topical administration of oil. Wound scoring was calculated followed by histological study.
GC-MS analysis showed presence of various components with greatest proportion of D-Limonene (89.31%). Total flavonoid and phenolic contents were found to be 14.63 ± 0.95 mg CE/g and 17.03 ± 3.24 mg GAE/g respectively while DPPH activity was found to be 73.32%. Better antibacterial activity was shown against E. coli. In vivo studies showed significant reduction in wound diameter in essential oil treatment groups. Further the essential oil was found non-irritant in draize scoring.
The study concluded that essential oil of this fruit peel might be used for antibacterial and wound healing purposes.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is among the world's most common cancers. For over ten years, the only medical treatment for it has been the multikinase inhibitor Sorafenib. Currently, however, other first or second-line therapeutic options have also shown efficacy against HCC, such as multikinase inhibitors (Regorafenib, Lenvatinib, and Cabozantinib), a monoclonal antibody against the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (Ramucirumab), and immune-checkpoint inhibitors (Nivolumab, Pembrolizumab, Ipilimumab).
The aim of this paper is to review the metabolic pathways of drugs that have been tested for the treatment of HCC and the potential influence of liver failure over those pathways.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA)'s and European Medicines Agency (EMA)'s datasheets, results from clinical trials and observational studies have been reviewed.
This review summarizes the current knowledge regarding targets, metabolic pathways, drug interactions, and adverse events of medical treatments for HCC in cirrhotic patients.
The new scenario of systemic HCC therapy includes more active drugs with different metabolic pathways and different liver adverse events. Clinical and pharmacological studies providing more data on the safety of these molecules are urgently needed.

Alzheimer's disease is neurological condition causing cognitive inability and dementia. The pathological lesions and neuronal damage in brain is caused by self-aggregated fragments of mutated Amyloidal precursor protein (APP).
The controlled APP processing by inhibition of secretase is the strategy to reduce Aβ load to treat Alzheimer's disease.
A QSAR study was performed on 55 Pyrrolidine based ligands as BACE-1 inhibitors with activity magnitude of greater than 4.of compounds.
In an advent to design new BACE-1 inhibitors, the pharmacophore model with correlation (r = 0.90) and root mean square deviation (RMSD) of 0.87 was developed and validated. Further, the hits retrieved by in-silico approach were evaluated by docking interactions.
Two structurally diverse compounds exhibited Asp32 and Thr232 binding with the BACE-1 receptor. The aryl substituted carbamate compound exhibited highest fit value and docking score. The biological activity evaluation by in-vitro assay was found to be >0.1µM.

Systemic acute inflammation is the hallmark of sepsis and associated with multiple organ dysfunction.
This study investigated the potential of stingless bee honey (SBH) to suppress lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced systemic acute inflammation in rats and to reveal the probable mechanism of action.
Rats received 4.6 and 9.2 g/kg SBH for 7 days followed by a single injection of LPS and samples were collected after 6 h.
LPS induced liver, kidney, heart and lung injury manifested by increased serum transaminases, alkaline phosphatase, creatine kinase, creatinine and urea, along with multiple histological alterations, particularly, leukocyte infiltrations. Pro-inflammatory cytokines were elevated in serum, and NF-κB p65, p38 MAPK and HMGB-1 were significantly increased in different tissues of LPS-challenged rats. SBH prevented tissue injury, ameliorated pro-inflammatory cytokines, and suppressed NF-κB p65, p38 MAPK and HMGB-1 in rats received LPS. In addition, SBH diminished reactive oxygen species (ROS) prone and Nrf2 in LPS-induced rats Conclusion SBH prevents systemic acute inflammation by suppressing NF-κB, p38 MAPK, HMGB-1, oxidative stress and tissue injury in rats. Thus, SBH may represent an effective anti-inflammatory nutraceutical, pending further mechanistic studies.
Lead (Pb) is an environmental pollutant causing serious health problems, including impairment of reproduction. Visnagin (VIS) is a furanochromone with promising antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects; however, its protective efficacy against Pb toxicity has not been investigated.
This study evaluated the protective effect of VIS on Pb reproductive toxicity, impaired steroidogenesis and spermatogenesis, oxidative stress and inflammation.
Rats received VIS (30 or 60 mg/kg) and 50 mg/kg lead acetate for 3 weeks and blood and testes samples were collected.
Pb intoxication impaired the pituitary-testicular axis (PTA) manifested by the decreased serum levels of gonadotropins and testosterone. Pb decreased sperm count, motility and viability, increased sperm abnormalities, and downregulated the steroidogenesis markers StAR, CYP17A1, 3β-HSD and 17β-HSD in the testis of rats. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/cft8634.html VIS significantly increased serum gonadotropins and testosterone, alleviated sperm parameters and upregulated steroidogenesis. In addition, VIS decreased pro-inflammatory cytokines, testicular lipid peroxidation and DNA fragmentation, downregulated Bax, and enhanced antioxidants and Bcl-2.
These results demonstrate the protective effect of VIS against Pb reproductive toxicity in rats. VIS improved serum gonadotropins and testosterone, enhanced steroidogenesis and spermatogenesis, and attenuated oxidative injury, inflammation and apoptosis. Therefore, VIS is a promising candidate for the protection against Pb-induced reproduction impairment.
