    Voriconazole, a first-line broad-spectrum triazole antifungal, suffers from limitations including poor solubility, non-targeted biodistribution, and dose-related toxicities, which compromise its therapeutic efficacy and safety. To overcome these challenges, this study aimed to develop and evaluate a novel niosomal vesicular system for the enhanced and targeted delivery of voriconazole. Voriconazole-loaded niosomes were formulated using the ether injection technique with Span 60 and cholesterol, and optimized via a Central Composite Design. The optimized formulation was characterized for particle size, zeta potential, entrapment efficiency (EE), morphology (TEM) and in vitro drug release. A comprehensive in vivo study in albino mice evaluated the pharmacokinetics, tissue biodistribution, and acute toxicity compared to a free drug suspension. The optimized niosomes exhibited excellent physicochemical properties: a nanometric size of 152.3 ± 4.7 nm, a high negative zeta potential (-31.5 mV), and an EE of 88.7%. In vitro release demonstrated sustained drug release (H”79% over 24 h) versus rapid release from the free drug. In vivo results showed a 2.4-fold increase in oral bioavailability (AUC0–”), a prolonged halflife (11.7 h vs. 6.3 h), and a favourable biodistribution with significantly higher drug concentrations in the lungs, liver, and kidneys, while brain accumulation was reduced by 42%. Serum biochemistry and histopathology confirmed the improved safety profile of the niosomal formulation. The developed niosomal system successfully enhanced the solubility, bioavailability, and targeted delivery of voriconazole while demonstrating a promising safety profile. This strategy represents a significant advancement for effective and safer therapy against systemic fungal infections

  • Reducing Enteric Methanogenesis through Alternate Hydrogen Sinks in the Rumen
    Prasanta Kumar Choudhury, Rajashree Jena, Sudhir Kumar Tomar, Anil Kumar Puniya
    Methane, 2022
    Climate change and the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emission from agriculture has resulted in significant pressure on the livestock industry for advanced practices that are environmentally more sustainable. Livestock is responsible for more than 15% of anthropogenic methane (CH4) emission via enteric fermentation and improved strategies for mitigating enteric CH4 production therefore represents a promising target to reduce the overall GHG contribution from agriculture. Ruminal CH4 is produced by methanogenic archaea, combining CO2 and hydrogen (H2). Removal of H2 is essential, as its accumulation inhibits many biological functions that are essential for maintaining a healthy rumen ecosystem. Although several other pathways occur in the rumen, including reductive acetogenesis, propionogenesis, nitrate, and sulfate reduction, methanogenesis seems to be the dominant pathway for H2 removal. Global warming is not the only problem associated with the release of CH4 from ruminants, but the released GHG also represent valuable metabolic energy that is lost to the animal and that needs to be replenished via its food. Therefore, reduction of enteric CH4 emissions will benefit not only the environment but also be an important step toward the efficient production of high-quality animal-based protein. In recent decades, several approaches, relying on a diverse set of biological and chemical compounds, have been tested for their ability to inhibit rumen methanogenesis reliably and without negative effects for the ruminant animal. Although many of these strategies initially appeared to be promising, they turned out to be less sustainable on the industrial scale and when implemented over an extended period. The development of a long-term solution most likely has been hindered by our still incomplete understanding of microbial processes that are responsible for maintaining and dictating rumen function. Since manipulation of the overall structure of the rumen microbiome is still a significant challenge targeting key intermediates of rumen methanogenesis, such as H2, and population that are responsible for maintaining the H2 equilibrium in the rumen could be a more immediate approach. Addition of microorganisms capable of non-methanogenic H2 sequestration or of reducing equivalents are potential avenues to divert molecular H2 from methanogenesis and therefore for abate enteric CH4. However, in order to achieve the best outcome, a detailed understanding of rumen microbiology is needed. Here we discuss some of the problems and benefits associated with alternate pathways, such as reductive acetogenesis, propionogenesis, and sulfate and nitrate reduction, which would allow us to bypass H2 production and accumulation in the rumen.
  • Applicability of rpoB Gene for PCR-RFLP based Discrimination of Bifidobacterial Species Isolated from Human and Animal Sources
    Rajashree Jena, Prasanta Kumar Choudhury, Anil Kumar Puniya, Sudhir Kumar Tomar
    Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2022
    Bifidobacteria are widely used as probiotics for their application in the development of functional food and prophylactic therapy. This has necessitated the development of a molecular approach for the genera to be widely identified up to species and subspecies level. In the current study, PCR-RFLP of the partial RNA polymerase β-subunit (rpoB) gene fragment was evaluated for differential identification of Bifidobacterium species. The rpoB gene partial sequences of 575 bp were amplified from 93 previously identified isolates collected from various sources of human and animal origin along with 12 standard reference strains. The PCR amplified products were digested with three restriction endonucleases HhaI, HinfI and BanI separately. Dendrograms constructed from the patterns of HhaI, were found to be more discriminatory and successfully differentiated all the twelve species and also at sub-species level in between B. longum subsp. longum and B. longum subsp. infantis. However, B. adolescentis and B. pseudocatenulatum group clusters were not separated and represented by one group. The groups were further discriminated by HinfI restriction digestion. A separate combination thereof may be used for inferring the classification of bifidobacterial species targeted on rpoB PCR-RFLP analysis. To our knowledge, this work is the first report based on use of rpoB PCR-RFLP for discrimination of the isolates of genus Bifidobacterium and also provides insights into specific advantages of this method over hsp60 PCR-RFLP in differentiating B. longum subsp. longum and B. longum subsp. infantis.
  • Efficacy of BOX-PCR fingerprinting for taxonomic discrimination of bifidobacterial species isolated from diverse sources

    3 Biotech, 2021
    The genus Bifidobacterium are extensively used as probiotics in food applications, for their potential role to combat different lifestyle diseases. This has necessitated a great importance for their species, sub-species and even at the strain level characterization. In the present study, attempts have been made to target repetitive DNA element-based BOX-PCR fingerprinting to judge its potential in taxonomic discrimination of Bifidobacterium species. The BOXA1R primer-based repetitive PCR amplified products were analysed for 93 identified bifidobacterial isolates collected from diverse sources of human and animal origin along with 12 DSMZ procured standard reference strains. Dendrograms constructed from the fingerprint patterns of BOX-PCR differentiated all the isolated strains into 10 different groups, grouped with one standard reference isolates and successfully discriminated all isolates up to subspecies level as identified. The BOX-PCR method used in this study effectively resolved the taxonomic status and differentiated all 93 bifidobacterial species isolated from diverse faecal origins of human and animal samples.
  • Autochthonous Lactobacillus spp. isolated from Murrah buffalo calves show potential application as probiotic

    Current Research in Biotechnology, 2021
    Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are applied as probiotics that stimulate digestion, immunity and represents suitable alternatives to conventional antimicrobials in animal production systems. The present study aimed to isolate, characterize, and examine the prospective LAB from Murrah buffalo calves' faecal samples as potential species-specific probiotics. Accordingly, 96 lactobacilli strains were isolated; out of which 55 isolates were Gram-positive, catalase-negative and vancomycin-resistant. These isolates had been presumptively identified as Lactobacillus species and further confirmed by genus-specific PCR. Seventeen isolates were shortlisted based on cell surface hydrophobicity (CSH) and auto-aggregation properties and identified by 16S rDNA sequencing. Cluster analysis from the phylogenetic tree revealed four different groups comprising of L. reuteri (11), L. salivarius (4), L. mucosae (1) and L. agilis (1). Out of these, seven isolates were non-hemolytic and showed better resistance to adverse gastrointestinal tract (GIT) conditions viz. tolerance to pH, bile salts and phenol. The selected isolates also exhibited significant (P < 0.05) co-aggregation abilities with antimicrobial activity against the pathogenic strain of E. coli. All the selected LAB were susceptible to all antibiotics tested except three isolates. BF-17 was resistant to cefadroxil whereas BF-26 against amikacin and cefadroxil, and BF-J17 to ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin. In addition to that, these isolates showed optimal enzyme secreting activities (amylase and protease) except BF-14 strain. Principal component analysis (PCA) based on probiotic phenotypic data, selected L. reuteri BF-H9 and L. salivarius BF-17 as most promising novel probiotic candidates and requires further in vivo evaluation. These Lactobacillus isolates could be used as probiotics by adding them into premix, mineral blends, and concentrates in lyophilized form, or they could be used to produce fermented milk for young calves.
