RESUMO
Catharanthus roseus synthesizes one of the most structurally, chemically and biologically active phytomolecules monoterpenoids indole alkaloids (MIAs) with having a wide range of pharmaceutical activities. Being the sole source of antineoplastic MIAs vinblastine and vincristine C. roseus has become one of the most valued plant. The low in planta availability of these MIAs and unavailability of alternative chemical synthesis system has enhanced their demand and equally let to the exorbitant market cost. To bridge this gap alternative production systems have been investigated using MIAs metabolic engineering (ME) in the homologous and heterologous systems. The availability of improved recombinant technologies along with genomics and metabolomics tools has opened the door of tremendous new potentials of ME. To encash these potentials of ME for MIAs pathway, efforts were made by expressing constitutive structure biosynthesis enzymes, transporters, and transcription factors of C. roseus MIAs biosynthesis in both homologous and heterologous systems. Here we review the knowledge of C. roseus MIAs pathway metabolic engineering in homologous and heterologous systems, gained in the past 35 years of C. roseus research.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Diabetic gastroparesis (DGp) is a common and preventable complication of uncontrolled diabetes mellitus (D.M.) and significantly affects the Quality of Life of patients. Diagnosis and management present as a clinical challenge due to the disease's complexity and limited effective therapeutic options. This review aims to comprehensively outline the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of diabetic gastroparesis, evaluating evolving approaches to guide clinicians and provide future recommendations. METHODS: A literature review was conducted on scholarly databases of PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus and Web of Science encompassing published articles, gray literature and relevant clinical guidelines. Data were synthesized and analyzed to provide a comprehensive overview of diabetic gastroparesis, focusing on pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management. RESULTS: The review intricately explores the pathogenesis contributing to diabetic gastroparesis, emphasizing autonomic neuropathy, oxidative stress, inflammation, hormonal dysregulation, microbiota alterations, and gastrointestinal neuropathy. Primary management strategies are underscored, including lifestyle modifications, symptom relief, and glycemic control. The discussion encompasses pharmacological and surgical options, highlighting the importance of a multidisciplinary approach involving various healthcare professionals for comprehensive patient care. CONCLUSION: This review offers a thorough understanding of pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of diabetic gastroparesis, underlining evolving approaches for clinicians. A multidisciplinary approach is crucial to address both the physical and mental health aspects of diabetes and its complications.
