There have been numerous attempts to use well-known medications in new ways to treat COVID-19 infection. Many nations, including India, implemented a series of lock downs in an effort to limit the pandemic. Sanitation practices, social seclusion, routine mask wearing, testing, and quarantining of suspected carriers were among the recommended methods for limiting the illness. Numerous treatment strategies have also been used to prevent and treat the illness, but no formal studies using well-known Ayurvedic formulations or any polyherbal combinations have been conducted. A clinical study was planned to test the noble polyherbal combination containing Withania somnifera, Tinospora cordifolia, Moringa oleifera, Adhatoda vasica, Piper longum, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Ocimum sanctum and Curcuma longa. The study checked the rate of symptom remission in individuals receiving the polyherbal combination in addition to standard of care (SoC) to that in patients with mild and moderate symptoms of COVID-19 infections receiving SoC alone. A prospective randomized interventional clinical study was planned comparing outcomes in 2 cohorts with mild to moderate COVID-19 as under. Cohort-1 was trialled with conventional treatment as per government advisory. Cohort-2 was trialled with polyherbal combination and with conventional treatment as per government advisory. With the current add-on Polyherbal regimen, an early clinical improvement in breathlessness was seen along with early ageusia and cough reduction when compared with conventional treatment. The polyherbal combination (KNDBHU) enhanced recovery in COVID-19 Patients. Given the lack of hospital beds in India, the median length of hospital stays was shortened; this development is significant.

The goal of the current study was to perform preclinical screening of virgin coconut oil (VCO) solubilised curcumin in diabetes-induced nephropathy. Male albino rats of the Wistar strain were injected with a single dose of streptozotocin (STZ) (60 mg/kg/i.p). Diabetic nephropathy (DN) was developed after 4 weeks of STZ injection and the treatment was continued for further 4 weeks (i.e 8 weeks). DN rats were treated with VCO (8ml), VCO solubilised curcumin at a low dose (0.66mg/4ml/kg) and high dose (1.32mh/8ml/kg). DN was assessed by evaluating biochemical parameters such as blood glucose, total protein, albumin, urea, creatinine, and total bilirubin from serum and urine sample, whereas the activity of endogenous antioxidant and membrane- bound phosphatases were studied from kidney homogenate. VCO-solubilised curcumin significantly reduced blood and urine glucose level, increased body weight and reduced kidney weight and kidney hypertrophy. It also normalized urine volume, albumin, creatinine, total protein, total bilirubin and urea levels. Treatment also significantly improved antioxidants and membrane-bound phosphatase activities. In conclusion, compared to the individual treatment group, VCO solubilized curcumin significantly modifies the altered parameters toward normal. The potent antioxidant activity of these substances may be to blame for this defense.

However, during biological processes, the abnormality occurs in the liver, which becomes a significant global health burden in humans, characterised by loss of synthetic function, breakdown of blood, irregular vitamin K, and localised, permanent changes to parenchymal cells. The study was designed to research the Phytochemical and biological screening of Sicyos edulis leaf for hepatoprotective activity on laboratory animals using paracetamol and methotrexate model for acute incidence. The study evaluated liver toxicity in healthy Wistar albino rats using two in vivo models. Each study group consists of six animals. In the first model, paracetamol p.o. for seven days. Similarly, in the second model, methotrexate was administered (single dose treatment) to animals with 20mg/kg, b.w., p.o. Both models were challenged with methanolic extract of Sicyos edulis leaf (MESEL) of doses 100mg/kg (low) and 200 mg/kg (high) p.o. for seven days, respectively. On day 8th, the blood samples were collected from the tail vein and analysed for various biochemical parameters. MESEL successfully restored the elevated serum biomarker levels in our study. The decrease in aspartate aminotransferase was observed by removing toxic metabolites, the reduction in alanine aminotransferase was due to an increase in ATP synthesis in mitochondria, thereby modulating the balance of liver energy metabolism, and the decrease in alkaline phosphates is due to tissue regeneration, an increase in total protein denotes the restoration of protein imbalance from acute liver injury. At different concentrations, all these effects strengthen the liver, regulate body metabolism, and ultimately inhibit further liver cell damage in favour of their regeneration. Our study also evidences the protective action of MESEL in rats against the Paracetamol and methotrexate model. The study reveals hepatocyte regeneration followed by hepatic restoration in pre-clinical settings.

The available potent drugs for breast cancer show adverse effects and resistance and are found to be ineffective in patients. The high cost of currently available cancer therapy and certain limitations of current treatment make it necessary to search for novel, cost-effective and efficient methods of cancer treatment. Phytochemicals are directly involved in treatment or precursors to synthesize useful drugs. Therefore, in the current investigation, 500 terpenoid phytoconstituents and five proteins associated with breast cancer including EGFR, ERα, HER2, NF-κB and Topo IIa were selected from various databases. Selected compounds were screened for their molecular properties based on Lipinski's rule of five resulting in 235 compounds exclusion. Drug-likeness and PAINS alert properties were predicted using pkCSM and SwissADME web servers which led to the omission of 43 compounds. The remaining 222 compounds were screened to predict their ADMET properties and based on these results, 117 compounds were selected to predict the anti-breast cancer potential. Finally, 73 compounds, which showed anti-breast cancer activity prediction, were virtually screened and the top four best-scoring compounds were selected as lead-like molecules and docked with the five respective breast cancer targets. The results showed that the top four lead-like molecules exhibited greater binding affinity and lesser toxicity than the standard drugs namely 4–Hydroxytamoxifen, Daunorubicin, Erlotinib and Lapatinib.

It accounts for 15% of all cancer deaths According to World Health Organisation (WHO), approximately 70% of breast malignancies occur in women with unknown risk factorsThe prognostic factor can be defined as a measurable variable which correlates with natural history of the disease. The most significant factor which influences prognosis in breast cancer is axillary lymph node involvement, which is usually assessed at time of surgery using sentinel lymph node biopsy or axillary lymph node dissection. The number of lymph nodal involvement is also significant. Involvement of 1-3 lymph nodes carry better prognosis than 4-9 and more than 9 lymph nodes involvement. Size of the tumour has long been recognized as a prognostic factor and as predictor of axillary node status, with larger tumours being associated with a bad prognosis and an increased incidence of nodal metastasis.

Neem is well-known around the world for its medicinal and nutritional properties. Various parts of the plant like fruits, leaves, flowers, twigs, gum, seed, oil, bark, and root are known to have medicinal properties and are scientifically established for the various properties. Since ancient times, plant’s parts have been utilized for their medicinal value. The plant contains a high amount of catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) enzyme, and many other phytoconstituents such as isoprenoid-containing protomeliacins, limonoids, azadirone and Csecomeliacins such as azadirachtin, nimbin, and salanin. The non-isoprenoids include sulphurous compounds, polyphenolics like flavonoids and their glycosides, dihydrochalcone, coumarin and tannins, proteins (amino acids) and carbohydrates (polysaccharides), as well as aliphatic compounds. Due to such type of versatile phytoconstituents, the plants show lots of pharmacological applications. In this review article, we summarized the information regarding the various pharmacological activities of neem plants. All information presented in this review article regarding the beneficial application of Neem (Azadirachta indica) has been acquired by imminent various electronic databases including Scopus, Google scholar, Science Direct, Web of Science, and PubMed. The Neem plant, including leaves, bark, latex, seed, and their active constituents, plays a significant part in the management of progressive illness. The neem plant contains active ingredients were accountable for the basketful therapeutic function such as anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, antispasmodic, antifungal, antioxidant, antimicrobial, antimalarial, antifertility, and also helps in proper digestion, hair growth, skin related problems and relief in menstrual pain and many more. The main findings showed that neem has strong medicinal properties and is also useful in cosmetic applications. There is no evidence of adverse effects of neem in literature.
