Materials and Methods: We examined the potential benefits of bioconverted ginsenosides on anemia in a phenylhydrazine-induced rat model and described the prolonging effect of erythrocyte life span by focusing on compound K that was confirmed through ex vivo experiments. Results: Hematological analysis demonstrated that all groups treated with bioconverted ginsenosides showed significant recovery results. In the ex vivo experiments, compound K was treated in stored blood, and the erythrocytes half-life was 45 days, 15 days longer than when not treated in blood. In the ICP-OES assay, PHZ-induced erythrocyte hemolysis was significantly inhibited by bioconverted ginsenosides. Conclusion: Based on the present results, it has been demonstrated that bioconverted ginsenoside aids in prolonging the erythrocyte life span and increasing erythrocyte count in vivo.

Although, the ACE2 receptor has been demonstrated to be the main entry receptor of COVID-19, but our docking analysis, predicted and discovered a novel receptor termed STRA 6 that may play a critical role in the pathogenicity of COVID-19. STRA6 receptor expressed in many organs and immune cells, upregulated by retinoic acid jm6 (STRA 6) was the first protein to be identified in a novel category of proteins, cytokine signaling transporters, due to its ability to function as both a cell surface receptor and a membrane protein that binds to retinol binding protein facilitating cellular uptake of retinol. The primary ligand of STRA6 (vitamin/retinol) was shown to be drastically reduced during COVID-19 infection, which agrees with our findings. We analyze the STRA6 and ACE2 receptor networks to predict the specific association among certain other proteins which might rely on similar functionality. Molecular docking showed a high affinity between the Spike protein with STRA6, the docking score of COVID-19 spike protein with STRA6 (-354.68) kcal/mol was higher than the docking score of spike protein with ACE2 (-341.21) kcal/mol. Results of MD simulations revealed significant stability of the spike protein with STRA6 up to 100 ns. SARS-CoV-2 spike protein binds strongly and directly to STRA6. Which are highly expressed in Lymphatic system and Immune cells. This study paves the way towards understanding the complex mechanism of existing of covid-19 infection complications such as immune suppression and ineffective RIG-I pathway. Restoring the balance between the STRA6 and ACE2 in the context of spike protein RBD may be promising target in SARS CoV-2 Pathogenesis and may reveal new drug targets for new variants of COVID-19.

Materials and Methods: Using salicylaldehyde and ethyl acetoacetate as raw materials, coumarin-3-carboxylic acid was synthesized by Knoevenagel reaction, and then reacted with hydroxylamine hydrochloride to form oxime, which was then dehydrated and condensed with niacin and acetylsalicylic acid respectively to obtain six coumarin oxime ester target compounds. MS and HNMR were MS and HNMR were employed to confirm the structures of the examined compounds. to validate the chemical structures of the investigated synthetics. The hypolipidemic effect of these compounds was evaluated by experimental mice models. The interaction of small-molecules and possible targets was assessed by Discovery Studio (v4.5). Results: The optimal reaction condition for oxime was as follows: n (3-acetyl coumarin): n (pyridine) = 1:30, the yield was 76.8%. The optimal reaction condition for synthesis oxime ester was as follows: the reaction time was 48 hr, the yield was 57.2%. The results of enzyme immunosorbent assay showed that the substances C1 and C4 both demonstrated specific lipid-lowering properties and were able to considerably decrease the triglyceride and total cholesterol levels in mice. Coumarin oxime nicotinate has a stronger effect on reducing serum triglyceride, while coumarin oxime aspirin has a stronger effect on reducing total cholesterol. The docking result indicated the 3QNT may be the possible hypolipidemic target of C1 with binding energy of -1.65 kcal/mol. Conclusion: It can be concluded that coumarin oxime esters would be carefully explored and developed as hypolipidemic drugs.

Even advances in treatment methods and early discoveries have not been able to significantly lower the death and morbidity rates associated with gastric cancer. On account of their multiple health benefits, apparent lack of toxicity and side effects, and the limitations of chemotherapeutic drugs, natural products have attracted a lot of interest in recent years with the aim of preventing cancer. Aim: A flavonoid class phytochemical known as Artemetin, has been discovered to be present in numerous medicinal plants. Anti-bacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective and cardioprotective actions are only a few of its many pharmacological effects. Materials and Methods: In the current investigation, the potential of Artemetin as an anticancer agent for gastric cancer was evaluated in AGS cell lines. The influence of Artemetin on the cell viability, apoptotic induction, mitochondrial ATPase activity, ROS generation, and cell cycle progression has been examined. Cisplatin was selected as the positive control for the experiments. Results: The impact of Artemetin on the cell viability revealed that its cytotoxic potential increased in a dose-dependent pattern and IC50 concentrations were chosen for further experiments. The results showed that apoptosis was induced by Artemetin in AGS cells by triggering ROS pathway and DNA damage. The cell viability of AGS cells was reduced with increased concentration of Artemetin. Conclusion: Artemtin's cytotoxic potential in cells is mediated by inducing apoptosis, which is supported by significant levels of ROS and mitochondrial ATPase as well as the findings of the AO/EB staining. All these results suggest that Artemetin can be used as a potent anticancer drug for human gastric carcinoma.
