  • Energy-efficient synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles using white ash gourd fruit extract for their medicinal and environmental applications
    RAVI KANT, Monika, Anuj Mittal, Seema
    Indian Journal of Chemistry Ijc, 2025
    This work reported the green synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) using white ash gourd fruit juice. The synthesized NPs were characterized by various spectroscopic techniques like UV–visible, FTIR, Powder XRD and FE-SEM. These NPs displayed a prominent absorbance at 357 nm in UV–visible spectra. X-ray diffraction studies confirmed the formation of crystalline ZnO NPs with the wurtzite phase. The average particle size (D) of the synthesized ZnO NPs is found to be 40.48 nm. FE-SEM images revealed that synthesized ZnO NPs have nano-flaky structures. The prepared ZnO NPs achieved 99% photodegradation efficiency against MB dye in 90 min of irradiation of UV light. These synthesized NPs were also examined for three biological activities: Antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-diabetic. Antimicrobial activity was found to be good to moderate. The synthesized ZnO NPs showed excellent anti-diabetic activity (α-amylase activity) compared to standard with IC50 value equal to 1.21µg/mL. For α-glucosidase, green synthesized ZnO NPs (IC50 value 0.23 µg/mL) exhibited excellent inhibition activity compared to standard Acarbose (IC50 value 0.24 µg/mL). ZnO NPs showed better antioxidant capability as well.

  • Quantitative structure activity relationship studies of androgen receptor binding affinity of endocrine disruptor chemicals with index of ideality of correlation, their molecular docking, molecular dynamics and ADME studies

    Journal of Biomolecular Structure and Dynamics, 2023
    Endocrine disrupter chemicals (EDCs) are both natural and man-made chemicals that mimic, block or interfere with human hormonal system. In the present manuscript, QSAR modeling was performed for the androgen disruptors that interfere with biosynthesis, metabolism or action of androgens that causes adverse effects on male reproductive system. A set of 96 EDCs that exhibited affinity towards androgen receptors (Log RBA) in rats were employed for carrying out QSAR studies using Hybrid descriptors (combination of HFG and SMILES) through Monte Carlo Optimization. Using index of ideality of correlation (TF2), five splits were formed and predictability of five models resulting from these splits was assessed by various validation parameters. Models resulted from first split was the top most one with R2validation = 0.7878. Structural attributes responsible for change in endpoint were studied by employing correlation weights of structural attributes. In order to further validate the model, new EDCs were designed using these attributes. In silico molecular modelling studies were performed to assess the detailed interactions with the receptor. The binding energies of all the designed compounds were observed to be better than lead and are in the range of -10.46 to -14.80. Molecular dynamics simulation of 100 ns was performed for ED01 and NED05. The results revealed that the protein-ligand complex bearing NED05 was more stable than lead ED01 exhibiting better interactions with the receptor. Further, in an attempt to assess their metabolism, ADME studies were evaluated using SwissADME. The developed model enables to predict the characteristics of designed compounds in an authentic way.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.
