Abstract

Biofuels are one of the numerous alternatives that are currently being considered to replace fossil fuels as it is more environmentally friendly. Specifically, bioethanol is often thought as a better alternative to gasoline fuel as it is considered cleaner, more renewable, and greener as it is synthesized from renewable feedstock which contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to the environment. As bioethanol is produced from carbohydrate and starch rich food crops, food waste (FW) poses a potential source for bioethanol production as it is especially rich in carbohydrates and lipids. Bioethanol production itself consists of several steps which includes food waste selection, pretreatment, saccharification and fermentation, and recovery. Cafeteria FW was reviewed to be the best type of FW for bioethanol production as it has the highest carbohydrate and starch content. Subsequently, acid pretreatment was considered to be the best method due to low cost, high yielding, and time efficient method. Moreover, the non-isothermal simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (NSSF) produces 1.42 g ethanol/L.h with a time of 38 hours. Lastly, the enzyme-assisted extraction technique is most preferred to recover the bioactive compounds as it led to the highest yield of product (94%) compared to other methods.

Abstract

Intestinal mucus layer plays a crucial role in protecting the epithelium layer and acts as a barrier to separate the epithelium layer from pathogenic microorganisms. The mucus is synthesized by the goblet cells located in the epithelium layer. The production of mucus inside the goblet cells is regulated by the expression of mucin gene family, such as MUC2 for the mucus production in jejunum, ileum, and colon. Recent studies had suggested the influence of macronutrient intake, such as carbohydrate and fat, in mucus production. High fiber diet and resistant starch consumption were found to positively affect mucus production through upregulating mucin gene expression. Meanwhile, high saturated fat diet was found to negatively affect mucus production by promoting ER stress and downregulating epithelial differentiation transcription factor (KLF4). Nonetheless, a low saturated fat diet was found to upregulate mucin expression. Unsaturated fat diet (oleic acid, linoleic acid, EPA, and DHA), on the other hand, decreased mucin expression by disrupting epithelial differentiation transcription factors (HATH1 and TLR4). Studies on the effect of dietary intake on mucus production are still limited, especially in the underlying molecular pathway. Therefore, further research on the molecular pathway on the effect of dietary intake on mucus production needs to be performed.

Abstract

Monarda fistulosa is a plant often used in traditional medication with numerous benefits. This review paper aims to elaborate on the phytochemicals of Monarda fistulosa that contribute to its pharmacological activity. Numerous studies have found the bioactive compounds of Monarda fistulosa including carvacrol, thymol, thymoquinone, flavonoid, ????-pinene, caryophyllene oxide, limonene, and geraniol. Researchers have found several pharmacological activities in relation to these compounds including antimicrobial, antidiabetic, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidants, and immunomodulatory properties. Evidence shows that Monarda fistulosa has potential for applications in many areas. Nevertheless, further clinical studies still have to be conducted to assess the effects of this plant.

Abstract

Recent research has been conducted to find potential new avenues of drug discovery for treating tuberculosis infection. This endless “arms race” is due to the ability of the bacteria to develop resistance towards the already established antibiotic regimen. Various pathways within Mycobacterium tuberculosis are being studied extensively to open new possibilities in drug development. One of which is the aspartate metabolism pathway. This amino acid pathway is proven to be pivotal for the survival of M. tuberculosis both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, this pathway also is absent in humans, making it a very promising candidate for further research and development in drug discovery. However, inhibitors against this pathway are not yet available as most suggested inhibitors against the various enzymes within this pathway only made it until the in-silico stage while few studies managed to synthesize their suggested inhibitors and had tested its anti-tuberculosis activity. This review will discuss said attempts in suggesting inhibitors against the critical enzymes that work within this pathway. The inhibitors that are reviewed in this paper are both synthetic and derived from natural products. The multitude of inhibitors proposed and the various enzymes that they are able to inhibit proved that this pathway has potential that is yet to be explored further.

Abstract

Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) are common over-the-counter drugs that are used for numerous inflammation-associated ailments. Despite their widespread consumption, these synthetic drugs are not without side effects. Adversities caused by NSAIDs range from simple nausea and vomiting to fatal conditions such as hypertension, gastrointestinal bleeding and diminished renal function. There is thus a need to develop novel alternatives to these drugs which possess comparable efficacies. Phytocompounds are attractive alternatives for a plethora of medicines used for various disorders and diseases as they are readily available in nature and have negligible side effects. In an attempt to identify safe alternatives to NSAIDs, we tested six bioactive compounds from Ginkgo biloba (Ginkgolide A, Amentoflavone, Bilobetin, Ginkgetin, Quercetin, and Bilobalide) for their abilities to inhibit Cyclooxygenase-1, Cyclooxygenase-2 and 5-Lipoxygenase which are inflammation-causing enzymes. Molecular docking experiments using Autodock Vina resulted in binding energy values between -6.6 and -11.9 kcal/mol, comparable to that of control drugs, which indicated that the tested phytocompounds were able to bind strongly to the active sites of the three proteins. Analyses of receptor-ligand interactions using Discovery Studio Visualizer revealed that all the tested compounds formed numerous non-covalent interactions with the surrounding amino acid residues, which confirmed their binding stabilities. Finally, evaluation of their drug likeness based on Lipinski’s rule of five showed that the tested G. biloba compounds possess the potential to be taken as oral drugs to replace conventional NSAIDs.
