The present investigation aims to determine in vitro and in vivo antidiabetic activity and the antioxidant potential of hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol extracts of a polyherbal mixture prepared from equal amounts of garlic cloves (Allium sativum L.), curry leaves (Murraya koenigii L. Sprengel), black pepper seeds (Piper nigrum L.) and rath goraka fruits (Garcinia quaesita Pierre). The standardization and in vitro antioxidant activity and antidiabetic activities were determined using standard methods. The in vivo acute antihyperglycemic activity of the hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol extracts was determined using an oral glucose tolerance test in streptozotocin-induced diabetic Wistar rats. Highest significant in vitro antioxidant capacity in terms of DPPH free radical scavenging (24.71 ± 0.01 ppm, p = 0.02) and reducing antioxidant power of ferric ion (23.29 ± 0.78 mol/dm3, p = 0.01) and in vitro antidiabetic properties in terms of α-amylase (25.74 ± 0.60 ppm, p = 0.01) and α-glucosidase (22.37 ± 0.06 ppm, p = 0.02) inhibition activities were observed in the hexane extract when compared with the respective standard compounds, ascorbic for antioxidant (DPPH 6.78 ± 0.03 ppm; FRAP 25.02 ± 0.21 mol/dm3) and acarbose for antidiabetic activity (α-amylase 5.68 ± 0.35 ppm; α-glucosidase 17.11 ± 0.62 ppm). In the glucose tolerance test, a significant improvement of glucose tolerance was found in the hexane (17.38%) and ethyl acetate (15.81%) extracts-treated groups at the therapeutic dose against the diabetic control group (p < 0.05). The results obtained from the present evaluation showed that the hexane and ethyl acetate extracts of the polyherbal mixture could be considered as a potential source for developing antidiabetic agents targeting the management of diabetes mellitus.","PeriodicalId":14654,"journal":{"name":"Jordan Journal of Chemistry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47933837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The surface characteristics of the composite were determined by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy, Energy Dispersed X-ray Spectroscopy and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area analysis. The results showed that TiO2-FSAC is highly porous with a surface area of 601.77 m2/g and pore diameter in the mesoporous region. Box-Behnken design (BBD) under Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was employed for the optimization of four operating parameters: initial p-NA concentration, pH, adsorbent dosage and time. The results revealed that the amount of p-NA adsorbed increased with an increase in initial p-NA concentration, low pH, and low adsorbent dosage and was not affected by time in the investigated range. The correlation between p-NA adsorption by TiO2-FSAC and the process variables was sufficiently established by the quadratic model with a high R2 value (0.973), which is in agreement with adjusted R2 (0.945). The optimum amount of p-NA adsorbed was 45.0 mg/g accomplished at Co = 300 mg/L, pH 2, 0.1 g adsorbent dosage and 362.5 min time.","PeriodicalId":14654,"journal":{"name":"Jordan Journal of Chemistry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47716958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study aimed to determine the fatty acids (FAs) content in four moss species (E. praelongum, R. murale, B. erythrorrhizon and A. riparium) widely spread in certain regions in Syria using GC-MS; fatty acids extraction by n-hexane was assisted by ultrasound to increase the extraction yield. The four moss species contained very long chain-polyunsaturtaed fatty acids (vl-PUFAs) larger than C18, like 20:5 (6–12%) and 20:4 (1–13%), and they also contained very long chain-saturated fatty acids (vl-SFAs), such as 24:0 (1–1.4%) and 26:0 (0–0.5%). FAs concentrations were highly different among the studied bryophytes. Palmitic acid 16:0 was identified as the main component in both E. praelongum and R. murale, while linoleic acid 18:2 and linolenic acid 18:3 constituted the main components in B. erythrorrhizon and A. riparium. FAs analysis showed a very high content of vl-PUFAs ranging between 12% and 24% for linoleic acid 18:2, from 19% to 21% for linolenic acid 18:3 and from 1% to 13% for arachidonic acid 20:4. Statistical analysis using Neighbor joining algorithm showed two clusters according to the original regions and confirmed the role of environmental factors on fatty acids content. The present study aimed to underline the importance of bryophytes as nutritionally rich species for further appropriate utilizations.","PeriodicalId":14654,"journal":{"name":"Jordan Journal of Chemistry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44532760","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aqueous, ethanol, ethyl acetate and hexane extracts of nearly three-month-old fruit pulps of Musa accuminata AAA, Musa accuminata AAB and Musa balbisiana ABB were prepared by shaking fresh, chopped banana pulps in the above-mentioned solvents separately. The standard spectrophotometric methods were used to quantify the alkaloids, flavonoids, condensed tannins and phenolic compounds contents of four solvent extracts of each banana variety. Among them, the ethanol extract of M. accuminata AAB possessed the highest total alkaloid content, while the ethanol extract of M. balbisiana ABB exhibited the highest total flavonoid content, total condensed tannin content and total phenolic content. The antioxidant and AChE inhibitory activities of each banana variety were determined using standard 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and Ellman’s colorimetric assays, respectively. The ethanol extracts of M. accuminata AAB and M. balbisiana ABB demonstrated the highest antioxidant activity and AChE inhibitory activity, respectively.

Exploration of diverse targets, the search for novel chemical scaffolds and different methods of tuberculosis treatment are all basic measures needed in this perspective. In the same context, mycobacterial oxidative phosphorylation has received a lot of interest. It includes the electron transport system, which encompasses the cytochrome B component of the cytochrome bc1 complex (QcrB) which is a promising therapeutic target. The anti-tubercular drug Q203 (Telacebec), which is currently in phase 2 clinical trial, inhibits cytochrome B. The present study includes virtual screening studies from the ‘Zinc15’ chemical database, taking Q203 as a reference molecule, the creation of protein using homology modeling, molecular docking as well as simulation studies. The constructed protein showed considerable reliability, as results of the Ramachandran plot showed 92.8% amino acid residues in the favoured region, ERRAT score (overall quality factor) of 92.48% with ProSA (Z score) of –5.78. The hit molecules identified by structure-based virtual screening follow the Lipinski rule of five. The docking results indicated binding affinity values ranging from –7.19 to –9.10 kcal/mol. The top three compounds were ZINC64033452, ZINC3816287 and ZINC3830215, each having a higher docking score than the reference ligand (–7.70 kcal/mol). Leu174, Pro306, Ser304, Leu180, Glu314 and Thr313 are among the residues that cover the protein’s active site. The H-bond was observed in docking studies for Q203 and top three molecules from amino acid residues Glu314 and Thr313 and was consistent throughout dynamics studies. In a dynamics run of 20 ns, a stable RMSD was found after 8 ns for hit-molecules and Q203. Based on potential findings, we report that selected candidates are more likely to be used as anti-mycobacterial agents or as starting leads for the development of novel and potent anti-tubercular agents.","PeriodicalId":14654,"journal":{"name":"Jordan Journal of Chemistry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2021-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44164484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
