In this report the effect of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on peroxidase (POD) activity during leaf senescence was studied with and without phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) pre-treatment in detached neem (Azadirachta indica A. juss) leaf chloroplasts. Increased POD activity was detected in natural

OBJECTIVE NS2B-NS3 protease (NS2B-NS3 pro ) of dengue virus (DENV) is the prime therapeutic target for the development of anti-dengue drug to combat the DENV infection, which is currently an increasing health problem in many countries. In the area of antiviral drug discovery, numerous reports on the

Dengue virus (DENV) serine protease enzyme, i.e. NS2B-NS3pro (non-structural protein 2B-non-structural protein 3) has been approved as prime drug target for the drug discovery against dengue infection, because of its essential role in viral replication. This study demonstrates the potential of

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major health problem across the world affecting the people of all age groups. It is the main cause of hepatitis and at chronic stage causes liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Various therapeutics are made against HCV but still there is a need to find out

OBJECTIVE Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer death in women, worldwide. Urokinase type plasminogen activator (uPA) is a serine protease that is involved in cancer progression, especially invasion and metastasis of breast cancer. Nimbolide is a

The pandemic COVID-19 has become a global panic-forcing life towards a compromised "new normal." Antiviral therapy against SARS-CoV-2 is still lacking. Thus, development of natural inhibitors as a prophylactic measure is an attractive strategy. In this context, this work explored phytochemicals as

Botanical insecticides are a promising alternative to reduce the harmful effects of synthetic chemicals. Among the botanical biopesticides, azadirachtin obtained from the Indian neem tree Azadirachta indica A. Juss. (Meliaceae) is probably the biorational insecticide with greatest agriculture use

The present study was aimed to address the possible evaluation of Azadirachta indica (neem) leaf-supplemented diets on innate immune response in Asian seabass, Lates calcarifer fingerlings against Vibrio harveyi infection. Fish were fed for two weeks diets containing six graded levels of neem leaf

Azadirachta Indica (Neem) extracts have been known for their anti-bacterial and other effects since ancient times. The present work examines the inhibitory activity of Neem extracts on Papain like protease (PLpro) of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. The activity is analysed by molecular
