A series of dibenzylideneacetones (A1-A12) and some of their pyrazolines (B1-B4) were synthesized and evaluated in vitro for blood stage antiplasmodial properties in Plasmodium falciparum culture using SYBR-green-I fluorescence assay. The compound (1E, 4E)-1,5-bis(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)penta-1,4-dien-3-one (A9) was found to be the most active with IC50 of 1.97 μM against chloroquine-sensitive strain (3D7) and 1.69 μM against chloroquine-resistant field isolate (RKL9). The MTT based cytotoxicity assay on HeLa cell line has confirmed that A9 is selective in its action against malaria parasite (with a therapeutic index of 166). Our results revealed that these compounds exhibited promising antiplasmodial activities which can be further explored as potential leads for the development of cheaper, safe, effective and potent drugs against chloroquine-resistant malarial parasites. 相似文献

Virulence is described as an ability of an organism to infect the host and cause a disease. Virulence factors are the molecules that assist the bacterium colonize the host at the cellular level. These factors are either secretory, membrane associated or cytosolic in nature. The cytosolic factors facilitate the bacterium to undergo quick adaptive—metabolic, physiological and morphological shifts. The membrane associated virulence factors aid the bacterium in adhesion and evasion of the host cell. The secretory factors are important components of bacterial armoury which help the bacterium wade through the innate and adaptive immune response mounted within the host. In extracellular pathogens, the secretory virulence factors act synergistically to kill the host cells. In this review, we revisit the role of some of the secreted virulence factors of two human pathogens: Mycobacterium tuberculosis—an intracellular pathogen and Bacillus anthracis—an extracellular pathogen. The advances in research on the role of secretory factors of these pathogens during infection are discussed. 相似文献

Ring hydroxylating dioxygenases (RHDOs) are one of the most important classes of enzymes featuring in the microbial metabolism
of several xenobiotic aromatic compounds. One such RHDO is benzenetriol dioxygenase (BtD) which constitutes the metabolic
machinery of microbial degradation of several mono- phenolic and biphenolic compounds including nitrophenols. Assessment of
the natural diversity of benzenetriol dioxygenase (btd) gene sequence is of great significance from basic as well as applied study point of view. In the present study we have evaluated
the gene sequence variations amongst the partial btd genes that were retrieved from microorganisms enriched for PNP degradation from pesticide contaminated agriculture soils.
The gene sequence analysis was also supplemented with an in silico restriction digestion analysis. Furthermore, a phylogenetic analysis based on the deduced amino acid sequence(s) was performed
wherein the evolutionary relatedness of BtD enzyme with similar aromatic dioxygenases was determined. The results obtained
in this study indicated that this enzyme has probably undergone evolutionary divergence which largely corroborated with the
taxonomic ranks of the host microorganisms. 相似文献

Background
Studies from high-income countries have shown that women receive less aggressive diagnostics and treatment than men in acute coronary syndromes (ACS), though their short-term mortality does not appear to differ from men. Data on gender differences in ACS presentation, management, and outcomes are sparse in India.Methods and Results
The Detection and Management of Coronary Heart Disease (DEMAT) Registry collected data from 1,565 suspected ACS patients (334 women; 1,231 men) from ten tertiary care centers throughout India between 2007–2008. We evaluated gender differences in presentation, in-hospital and discharge management, and 30-day death and major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE; death, re-hospitalization, and cardiac arrest) rates. Women were less likely to present with STEMI than men (38% vs. 55%, p<0.001). Overall inpatient diagnostics and treatment patterns were similar between men and women after adjustment for potential confounders. Optimal discharge management with aspirin, clopidogrel, beta-blockers, and statin therapy was lower for women than men, (58% vs. 65%, p = 0.03), but these differences were attenuated after adjustment (OR = 0.86 (0.62, 1.19)). Neither the outcome of 30-day mortality (OR = 1.40 (0.62, 3.16)) nor MACE (OR = 1.00 (0.67, 1.48)) differed significantly between men and women after adjustment.Conclusions
ACS in-hospital management, discharge management, and 30-day outcomes did not significantly differ between genders in the DEMAT registry, though consistently higher treatment rates and lower event rates in men compared to women were seen. These findings underscore the importance of further investigation of gender differences in cardiovascular care in India. 相似文献95.
Mechanism of Zinc absorption in plants: uptake,transport, translocation and accumulation 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient for plants and animals. Unfortunately, deficiency of Zn in humans has increased on a global scale. The main reason of this micronutrient deficiency is dietary intakes of food with low Zn levels. Adoption of biofortification approaches would result in Zn enrichment of target tissue to a considerable extent. However, there is a basic need to understand Zn absorption mechanisms in plants prior to exploitation of such practical approaches. Zn absorption is a complex physiological trait which is mainly governed by Zn transporters and metal chelators of plant system. Plant growth stage, edaphic factors, season etc. also influence Zn efficiency of particular species. Molecular studies in Zn hyperaccumulators have already demonstrated the participation of specific Zn transporters, vacuolar sequestration and detoxification mechanisms in maintenance of Zn homeostasis. These have been described in detail in present review and provide opportunities for utilization in biofortification programmes. However, issues such as lesser bioavailability of Zn in target organ, uptake of toxic divalent cations (Cd, Ni, Pb, As etc.) along with Zn, sink activity and dilution in Zn concentration in response to sink number etc. in biofortified crops need further investigation. In order to design novel strategy in biofortification programmes, future researches should focus on physiological performance and yield penalties in concerned crop, metabolic load in term of organic acid production and crosstalk of Zn with other mineral nutrients under low and high Zn conditions. 相似文献

Bacteriocin: safest approach to preserve food products 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Start of the 21st century with its universal call to feed the hungry is an appropriate time to refocus attention on food security
and especially the impact of biopatenting on poor communities who are the primary victims of hunger in our world. Antibacterial
metabolites of lactic acid bacteria and Bacillus spp have potential as natural preservatives to control the growth of spoilage and pathogenic bacteria in food. Among them,
bacteriocin is used as a preservative in food due to its heat stability, wider pH tolerance and its proteolytic activity.
Due to thermo stability and pH tolerance it can withstand heat and acidity/alkanity of food during storage condition. Bacteriocin
are ribosomally synthesized peptides originally defined as proteinaceous compound affecting growth or viability of closely
related organisms. Research is going on extensively to explore the nascent field of biopreservation. Scientists all over the
world are showing their keen interest to isolate different types of bacteriocin producing strains and characterize bacteriocin
produced by them for food preservation. 相似文献

COX-2 is a well-known drug target in inflammatory disorders. COX-1/COX-2 selectivity of NSAIDs is crucial in assessing the gastrointestinal side effects associated with COX-1 inhibition. Celecoxib, rofecoxib, and valdecoxib are well-known specific COX-2 inhibiting drugs. Recently, polmacoxib, a COX-2/CA-II dual inhibitor has been approved by the Korean FDA. These COXIBs have similar structure with diverse activity range. Present study focuses on unraveling the mechanism behind the 10-fold difference in the activities of these sulfonamide-containing COXIBs. In order to obtain insights into their binding with COX-2 at molecular level, molecular dynamics simulations studies, and MM-PBSA approaches were employed. Further, per-residue decomposition of these energies led to the identification of crucial amino acids and interactions contributing to the differential binding of COXIBs. The results clearly indicated that Leu338, Ser339, Arg499, Ile503, Phe504, Val509, and Ser516 (Leu352, Ser353, Arg513, Ile517, Phe518, Val523, and Ser530 in PGHS-1 numbering) were imperative in determining the activity of these COXIBs. The binding energies and energy contribution of various residues were similar in all the three simulations. The results suggest that hydrogen bond interaction between the hydroxyl group of Ser516 and five-membered ring of diarylheterocycles augments the affinity in COXIBs. The SAR of the inhibitors studied and the per-residue energy decomposition values suggested the importance of Ser516. Additionally, the positive binding energy obtained with Arg106 explains the binding of COXIBs in hydrophobic channel deep in the COX-2 active site. The findings of the present work would aid in the development of potent COX-2 inhibitors. 相似文献
