The metabolic syndrome is the cause of death around the world caused by diabetic mellitus. Binahong leaf is a kind of plant that is widely used to treat various diseases. This study aims to investigate the inhibitory activity of binahong leaves compound in inhibiting the aldose reductase which has role of converting glucose into sorbitol by docking simulation. The compound of binahong leaves consists of ursolic acid, vitexin, and oleonolic acid (ligand testing). These compound were taken from PubChem site, while aldose reductase enzyme (receptor) was obtained from the world protein bank with PDB 2HV5 code. This study incorporated in silica technique by using Auto dock vina software, Discovery Studio and Ligplot as visualization. The result of grid box optimization by redocking comparative ligand was 0.7Å RMSD. The docking result showed that the free Gibbs energy (∆G) of aldose reductase was (-11.7), Vitexin (-8.3), Ursolic acid (-7.7) and Oleonolic acid (-8.6). These value suggested that there was a stable inhibition reaction from the binahong leaves compound and the comparative ligand. Based on the Lipinski Rule, the composition of binahong leaves compound meets the Lipinski Rule criteria which means this medicine can be used orally except for vitexin and comparative ligands of zopolrestate which exceed the number of the atom.

<abstract> <p>The COVID-19 pandemic caused by highly-infectious virus namely severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has resulted in infection of millions of individuals and deaths across the world. The need of an hour is to find the innovative solution for diagnosis, prevention, and cure of the COVID-19 disease. Nanotechnology is emerging as one of the important tool for the same. In the present review we discuss the applications of nanotechnology-based approaches that are being implemented to speed up the development of diagnostic kits for SARS-CoV-2, development of personal protective equipments, and development of therapeutics of COVID-19 especially the vaccine development.</p> </abstract>

The implications of world population growth for future fertilizer use and impact on the environment have scarcely been predicted. We investigated world protein production using a global nitrogen balance model. The model assumes that world population continues to grow and crop yield per unit area is closely related to nitrogen fertilizer use. About five times more cereal protein is needed to produce meat protein through farming. Advanced countries consume more meat than people in developing countries. Assuming the world's arable land remains constant in area in the next century, and if the meat consumption in advanced countries is matched by the rest of the world, the demand for fertilizer will increase and reach 220 Tg y-1 by the middle of the next century. This is approximately three times more fertilizer than is currently used, and would accelerate environmental deterioration. The world would be suffering from conflict between supplying sufficient protein and greater nitrogen pollution of the environment.

More than 35,000 plant species are being used in various human cultures around the world for medicinal purposes. Medicated oil plays an important role for prevention and cure of diseases in Ayurveda. Celastrus paniculatus seed oil is such wonderful medicinally useful oil. It is commonly known as Black-Oil tree, Intellect tree, Climbing-staff plant and Jyotishmati and “Tree of life” in Ayurveda. It possesses Anti-depressant, Anti-Parkinson, Anti-Alzheimer’s, Neuroprotective, IQ improving activity. In tribal district (Jashpur) of Chhattisgarh, Indian people uses traditional method to extract C. paniculatus oil. It is commonly used by the tribes for the treatment of various diseases like headache, muscular spasm and local inflammations. The present study aim is documentation of traditional method of oil extraction used by ‘Uraanv’ tribe. This paper also dealt with the Physicochemical and qualitative phytochemical evaluation of C. paniculatus seed oil. Oil yield by traditional method was 25%. Carbohydrate, reducing sugar, monosaccharide, protein, amino acid, steroid, flavonoid, alkaloid, fixed oil, phytosterols, saponin, diterpenoid and cardiac glycoside were found in the oil sample.The GC-MS analysis shows the presence of 47 compounds in the oil. These phytochemical might be responsible for the therapeutic effect of C. paniculatsus seed oil.
