T. rubrum being the most common etiological agent isolated from clinically diagnosed lesions of cutaneus dermatophytosis. It has a significantly higher capacity of transmission than other anthropophilic dermatophytes.\u0000Aim and Objective: To study the Antifungal Susceptibility Pattern , Molecular Profiling and its Sequencing Analysis of Trichophyton rubrum isolated from human Sample.\u0000Material and Methods: This was a a prospective study carried out in the Department of Microbiology at Rama Medical College Hospital and Research Centre Mandhana, Kanpur for a period of 1 year i.e, March 2017 to March 2018. A total of 375 clinically suspected cases of superficial fungal infection were collected with proper informed consent. Dermatophytosis was confirmed in cases by direct microscopy and culture methods. Antifungal drug susceptibility profiles, MIC of isolates were 50 90 determined using the broth microdilution method according to the CLSI guidelines. The DNA isolation was done using the Qiagen DNA extraction kit followed by the PCR. The sequencing methods were used for the genetic analysis of virulence gene for the confirmation.\u0000Results: Out of the total of 375 clinically suspected cases of superficial fungal infection 31 isolates of Trichophyton rubrum were studied. The ratio of Male were more 27 (87%) as compared to the Female 4 (12.9% ). The maximum number of isolates was found in the Skin 28 (90.3%) followed by the Nail 3 (9.6%). The ITZ was most sensitive toward T. rubrum than KTZ, TBF, and FCZ. The molecular characterization for the detection of 18s gene was performed which was confirmed by the Sequencing Analysis.\u0000Conclusion: Antifungal resistance against T. rubrum is increasing over the last few decades due to genetic diversity in the fungal genome. The molecular identification is a gold standard technique for the identification of T. rubrum allowing important factor in providing fungal infection prevention and treatment approaches.\u0000 ","PeriodicalId":16728,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pharmaceutical Negative Results","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42310536","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}

MNPs interact with key cellular organelles and biomolecules, including DNA, enzymes, ribosomes, and liposomes, which can have an impact on gene expression, oxidative stress, protein and enzyme activation, and cell membrane permeability. It has been shown that the cellular metabolites of living organisms like bacteria, yeast, fungi, and plant cells can convert inorganic metal ions into metal NPs. By utilizing biological agents in green chemistry, metallic nanoparticles are produced that have less adverse effects and are more effective against cancer cells. These nanoparticles can physically infiltrate cancer cells and kill them by activating a variety of biochemical pathways, including apoptosis, necrosis, and autophagy. This review focuses on metal nanoparticles (copper, gold, and silver) and their usefulness in treating endemic diseases including cancer, hepatitis, and malaria. In the near future, metal NPs may also be a successful and affordable alternative for treating drug-resistant bacterial infections.\u0000 ","PeriodicalId":16728,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pharmaceutical Negative Results","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41784849","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}

This study is based on the concentration of heavy metals in leafy vegetables in a village named Kundra located in district Koraput, 42 kilometers from Koraput of Odisha, India, which has a population of about 5326.About 130 samples were examined and studied from the local market of Kundra. These leafy vegetables commonly called Lal bhaji sago (Red Spinach), Muniga Sago (Drumstick Leaves) and Methi sago (Fenugeek leaves) were used for this study. The samples were cut air dried for four days. Next it was washed in 20% v/v solution of nitric acid, dried sample was then grounded into powder, it was sieved through nylon sieve of size 2mm. The digestion of the sample involves 20 ml of concentrated nitric acid, perchloric acid, and hydrochloric acid in the ratio of 10:1:3, followed by drying at 105 degree Celsius on a hot plate. The obtained solution was than filtered, the residue was than analyzed using digital spectrophotometer by continuous dilution method. The concentration of Iron, copper and zinc was determined, which constituted below permissible limit according to World Health Organization. Monitoring heavy metals in vegetables is essential; as these are considered to be a major indicator of environmental pollution.","PeriodicalId":16728,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pharmaceutical Negative Results","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42458699","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}
