An amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a group of progressive neurodegenerative disorders of motor neurons that leads to weakness, muscle atrophy, progressive paralysis, and respiratory insufficiency with a life anticipation of only three years after the onset of disease symptoms. It impairs the functions of both upper and lower motor neurons. The specific mechanism for the disease remains largely unidentified. At present, there is no specific treatment to cure or reverse the progression of the disease. ALS is generally diagnosed based upon the medical history and signs and symptoms; however, it is quite difficult to diagnose the disease in its initial stages. Several studies indicate that various predominant disease mechanisms such as oxidative stress, excitotoxicity, mitochondria dysfunction, aberrant protein homeostasis, defective RNA processing, formation of cytoplasmic inclusion, endoplasmic reticulum stress, endosomal dynamic dysfunctions, protein aggregation, neuroinflammation, oligodendrocyte degeneration, and microglial activation are involved in the pathophysiology of ALS. The various gene mutations (c9orf72, TARDBP, SOD1, and FUS) are also associated with disease mechanisms, so ALS is a complex genetic disorder...

Cancer is one of the most dreaded diseases across the globe. Drug resistance and adverse effects of various classical chemotherapeutic agents are the major challenges for cancer therapy. Cancer treatments with synthetic drugs are associated with severe side effects. Synthetic drugs address symptoms caused by diseases; on the other hand a plant-based medicine usually directs towards aiding body’s own healing process as it is in sync with nature. Natural products and their derivatives can be a promising alternative to existing cancer therapy. Several phytoconstituents have been identified as a valuable source of clinically important anticancer agents. Novel chemical entities and compounds of natural origin have been explored for efficient anticancer activity. Altholactone, a styryl lactone primarily found in Goniothalamus sp., exhibits cytotoxic and antitumor activities. Therefore, an attempt has been made to summarize altholactone analogues. Its structure-activity relationship (SAR) is suggested as a potent anticancer drug candidate, which may provide a structural framework to design and develop a novel anticancer drug in the...

The COVID-19 pandemic has created a global health crisis posing an unprecedented public health emergency. The number of deaths and people being infected is increasing daily throughout the globe. This situation is much more severe due to possible devastating situations because of several social and economic factors. Effective management to address this infection is still evolving, and attempts are being made to integrate traditional interventions along with standard of care. Ayurveda and yoga can be proved excellent results in cure of Covid-19. It has also been accepted by ICMR in its latest guidelines; they have showcase importance of Ayurveda and yoga in treatment of covid-19. In view of this, an attempt is made to conglomerate a few important herbs whose chemical constituents must be tested for their anti-viral potential against Covid-19 infection. Many of the ayurvedic herbal preparation proved its worth as an immune booster in treatment of...

Prune is a dry form of plum fruit; its botanical name is Prunus domestica characterized by unique nutrients and dietary bioactive profile. Prunes have wide application in traditional medicine and are known for their beneficial role as a laxative in management of non-communicable diseases and bone health. Researches have proved their antioxidant, anticancer, antihyperglycemic, anti-hyperlipidemic, anti-osteoporosis properties. The available evidences were searched and summarized after an extensive search on review of published literature with a focus on exploring the therapeutic and pharmacological effects of prunes. A number of preferred databases were searched using the Pub Med database, Science Direct, SciELO, Google Scholar, Link Springer, and Research Gate. This review investigated the potential mechanisms and effects of dried plums on overall health; the chemical composition of prunes reflects the presence of polyphenols like chlorogenic acids, neochlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, coumaric acid, proanthocyanidins and some other similar compounds, which are beneficial for improving and maintaining health and wellbeing. Prunes are used for treatment of acid dyspepsia, nausea, vomiting, fevers, headaches. Prunes...

Since 2019-November on world facing whole world is facing an unprecedented health problem. The WHO has said that a pandemic infection are coming with a new virus species of coronavirus is called SARS-CoV-2. Coronavirus 2019 is associated with global health and acute coronary respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2. COVID-19 is widely spread through drip channels. The virus causes mild symptoms in many who have manifested many symptoms, dry cough, fatigue, muscle aches and bruises; Common symptoms include diarrhea, colds, hemoptysis, sore throat and runny nose. Severe infections, which are the main treatment options for critical care patients, include severe lung burns, sepsis, ARDS and septicemia. Here we present nine key research questions related to virus infection, releasing anonymous, treatment, pre-symptomatic viruses, diagnosis, vaccine growth, origins of the virus and also viral infections, etiology, viral infections, clinical picture, treatment and infection. Effective treatment is not yet available. Every day there is an increase in morbidity and mortality, and adherence to the instructions of infection prevention and infection should control government organizations are...
