ABSTRACT

Aim: This study endeavors to explore the anti-arthritic effects of macerated oil derived from the plant's aerial parts. Methods: The macerated oil was prepared using maceration in coconut oil, and its phytochemical composition was elucidated using GC-MS. To assess its anti-arthritic activity, in-vitro studies were conducted using various assays. Results & conclusion: The macerated oil showed better antioxidant and anti-arthritic potential by in-vitro investigations. Molecular docking studies elucidated potential binding interactions between specific constituents of the oil and critical molecular targets implicated in the pathogenesis of arthritis, further substantiating its therapeutic potential. The results demonstrated that Abrus precatorius macerated oil could ameliorate arthritis severity in a dose-dependent manner.


The study explores whether the oil from the Abrus precatorius plant can help people with arthritis. Arthritis is a painful condition that causes swelling and stiffness in the joints. Researchers are curious if this plant oil can ease the pain and reduce inflammation associated with arthritis. They are conducting experiments to see if it works and is safe to use. In the research, we study the effects of this plant oil on arthritis symptoms. This oil is obtained by soaking Abrus precatorius plant parts in coconut oil. Our results could offer a new and natural way to alleviate arthritis symptoms for those who suffer from it. This would be a significant finding as it might provide a less invasive and potentially more accessible option for managing arthritis discomfort. However, it is important to remember that more research is needed to ensure the oil is both effective and safe for arthritis relief.

ABSTRACT

Aim: The aim of this research is to investigate the potential of glucomoringin, derived from Moringa oleifera, as a therapeutic agent for Alzheimer's disease through in silico analysis. Materials & methods: This study employs in silico or computational methodologies, including pkCSM, Swiss ADME, OSIRIS® property explorer, PASS online web resource and MOLINSPIRATION® software, to predict the pharmacokinetic characteristics and biological activity of glucomoringin. Results & conclusion: Molecular docking indicates strong binding to I-1ß and the pharmacokinetic profile shows cytochrome P450 enzyme inhibition, prompting further research for dosing strategies. Toxicological predictions affirm safety, while bioactivity assessments demonstrate versatility in modulating essential pathways. glucomoringin's potential for Alzheimer's treatment, emphasizing the need for additional empirical research.


Alzheimer's disease is a severe brain condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It impairs memory and thinking and there is no cure yet. Researchers are looking into alternative treatments, like using the moringa plant. Some compounds in moringa, such as glucomoringin, seem promising for Alzheimer's treatment. However, it's essential to be cautious and consult with a doctor before trying these treatments. The study used computer simulations to see how well glucomoringin could work for Alzheimer's. It found that glucomoringin might be good at reducing inflammation in the brain. It also looked at how the body processes glucomoringin and found that it seems safe and could be used as a treatment. However, these are just computer predictions and more research is needed to confirm if glucomoringin is effective for Alzheimer's. Alzheimer's is a complex disease and there's no one-size-fits-all treatment. So, it's important to work with doctors to find the best approach for each patient. In the future, Alzheimer's research will focus on early detection, personalized treatments and using technology to help patients. Public awareness and support for Alzheimer's patients and their caregivers are crucial and global collaboration is vital for progress in finding a cure.

ABSTRACT

Obesity is a growing global health crisis intricately connected to various chronic conditions, including arthritis. This paper explores the intricate web of hormonal changes in the context of obesity and their profound influence on the development and progression of arthritis. Hormones, such as leptin, insulin, cortisol, and estrogen, all altered in obesity, play pivotal roles in inflammation, cartilage degradation, mechanical stress, and pain associated with obesity-related arthritis. Additionally, the mechanical stress placed on weight-bearing joints by excess body weight accelerates joint wear and tear, contributing to arthritis. Genetic factors, shared biomarkers, and pathways further link these conditions. Recognizing these connections is vital for healthcare professionals and individuals facing the challenges of obesity and arthritis, offering insights into strategies for prevention, management, and intervention. This comprehensive understanding of the complex interplay between hormonal changes, obesity, and arthritis sheds light on multifaceted mechanisms underlying this intricate relationship.

ABSTRACT

The recent outbreaks of Nipah viral infection were associated with severe respiratory illness, lethal encephalitis, and an extremely high mortality rate. As there are no approved antiviral medications, patients with NiV infections are currently treated with repurposed or investigational antivirals and supportive care. This review examines the potential health benefits of N. sativa in the treatment of NiV infection. To identify relevant studies, the literature was searched in online databases like Medline/PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct, and reference lists. Through its antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticonvulsant, immunomodulatory, bronchodilatory, and other properties, a number of studies have demonstrated that N. sativa is effective against a variety of viral infections, inflammatory conditions, neurological and respiratory illnesses, and other conditions. As a result, in the treatment of NiV-infected patients, N. sativa could be added as an adjuvant treatment alongside repurposed or investigational antivirals and supportive care. The efficacy of N. sativa in the treatment of NiV infection will be determined by the results of upcoming randomized controlled clinical trials.
