SYNTHESIS AND EVALUATION OF ANTI-PROLIFERATIVE ACTIVITY OF NOVEL THIAZOLIDINONE DERIVATIVES
A series of, 2-thioxo-4-thiazolidinone (rhodanine) and 2,4-thiazolidine-dinone derivatives were synthesized by reacting 4-thiazolidine-dione/rhodanine moieties with 2-(4-formylphenoxy)-N-substituted-phenyl-acetamide, in equimolar proportions. The authentication of synthesized compounds was done by FTIR, 1HNMR, and mass spectrophotometry. The derivatives, N-(phenyl) -2- {4-[ (4-oxo-2-thioxo-1, 3-th...

COMPUTATIONAL INSIGHTS ON ANTIVIRAL RESISTANCE MECHANISM OF HIV-1 PROTEASE WITH GS-8374
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), is an etiologic agent of the most life-threatening disease AIDS. HIV-1 protease (HIVP) is a key enzyme that performs an essential step in the life cycle of the virus. HIV-1 protease assembled as a dimer in the functional form and involved in cutting “polyprotein" into the proper protein-sized pieces. The two chains assemble to form a long tunnel cover...

EFFECTS OF NON-CALORIC ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS (NAS) ON GLYCAEMIC STATUS IN MALE SWISS ALBINO MICE
Objective: The objective of the study was to estimate the effects of Non-caloric Artificial Sweeteners (NAS) on glycaemic status in male Swiss albino mice. Methods: 36 male Swiss albino mice were selected and divided into six groups of 6 animals each. Group 1 served as control and received a normal pellet diet with drinking water. Groups 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 received normal pellet diet and drinking wa...

BIOTHERAPEUTICS AS DRUGS, ITS DELIVERY ROUTES AND IMPORTANCE OF NOVEL CARRIERS IN BIOTHERAPEUTICS
Biopharmaceuticals or biologics are the therapeutic agents which are biomolecules (DNA, Protein, Peptide, RNA, antibodies) in nature. These are high molecular weight (300-1000000Da) molecules, which deify Lipinski rules. At present, a large portion of the market share is occupied by protein biotherapeutics. However, peptide-based therapeutics is replacing protein biotherapeutics, as the former has...
