• IDENTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL NOVEL INHIBITORS FOR NIPAH VIRUS-GLYCOPROTEIN FROM LEUCAS ASPERA SPRENG. (LAMIACEAE) AND EVALUATED FOR THEIR PHARMACOKINETIC PROPERTIES

This study aimed to identify potential novel inhibitors against the Nipah virus glycoprotein using phytocompounds from Leucas aspera (Lamiaceae), collected in Kozhikode, Kerala. Five compounds—Dihexyverine, Humulene, Dodecanoic acid, 2-methoxy-4-vinylphenol, and Spiro[2.4]heptane—demonstrated strong binding affinity to the viral glycoprotein with some showing comparable or better results than synthetic drugs like Chloroquine. Pharmacokinetic properties were evaluated using ADMET tools, suggesting these compounds hold promise as antiviral agents against Nipah virus.

*EFFECT OF EXTRACTION METHODS ON THE PHYTOCONSTITUENTS OF DIFFERENT PARTS OF MURRAYA KOENIGII (L.) SPRENG. - THE AROMATIC SPICE PLANT

This study investigated the impact of hot and cold extraction methods on the phytochemical content of the leaf, stem, and root of Murraya koenigii. TLC analysis revealed that hot extraction yielded more phytochemical bands, especially in leaf samples, indicating a higher concentration of active compounds. The research concludes that hot extraction is more effective for this plant, though no single extraction method is universally ideal. Optimizing extraction methods can enhance raw material yield, supporting more efficient medicinal plant use.
