RESUMEN
Paederia foetida is valued for its folk medicinal properties. This research aimed to assess the acute toxicity, hypoglycemic and anti-hemostasis properties of the methanolic extract of P. foetida leaves (PFLE). Acute toxicity of PFLE was performed on a mice model. Hypoglycemic and anti-hemostasis properties of PFLE were investigated on normal and streptozotocin-induced mice models. Deep learning, molecular docking, density functional theory, and molecular simulation techniques were employed to understand the underlying mechanisms through in silico study. Oral administration of PFLE at a dosage of 300 µg/kg body weight (BW) showed no signs of toxicity. Treatment with PFLE (300 µg/kg/BW) for 14 days resulted in a hypoglycemic condition and a 30.47% increase in body weight. Additionally, PFLE mixed with blood exhibited a 44.6% anti-hemostasis effect. Deep learning predicted the inhibitory concentration (pIC50, nM) of Cleomiscosins against SGLT2 and FXa to be 7.478 and 6.017, respectively. Molecular docking analysis revealed strong binding interactions of Cleomiscosins with crucial residues of the target proteins, exhibiting binding energies of -8.2 kcal/mol and -7.1 kcal/mol, respectively. ADME/Tox predictions indicated favorable pharmacokinetic properties of Cleomiscosins, and DFT calculations of frontier molecular orbitals analyzed the stability and reactivity of these compounds. Molecular simulation dynamics, principal component analysis and MM-PBSA calculation demonstrated the stable, compact, and rigid nature of the protein-ligand complexes. The methanolic PFLE exhibited significant hypoglycemic and anti-hemostasis properties. Cleomiscosin may have inhibitory properties for the development of novel drugs to manage diabetes and thrombophilia in the near future.

Ralstonia solanacearum is a harmful pathogen that causes severe wilt disease in several vegetables. In the present study, we identified R. solanacearum from wilt of papaya by 16S rRNA PCR amplification. Virulence ability of R. solanacearum was determined by amplification of approximately 1500 bp clear band of hrpB gene. Further, in-vitro seed germination assay showed that R. solanacearum reduced the germination rate up to 26.21%, 34% and 33.63% of cucumber, bottle guard and pumpkin seeds, respectively whereas shoot and root growth were also significantly decreased. Moreover, growth inhibition of R. solanacearum was recorded using antibacterial compound from medicinal plant and antagonistic B. subtilis. Petroleum ether root extract of Rauvolfia serpentina showed highest 22 ± 0.04 mm diameter of zone of inhibition where methanolic extract of Cymbopogon citratus and ethanolic extract of Lantana camara exhibited 20 ± 0.06 mm and 20 ± 0.01 mm zone of inhibition against R. solanacearum, respectively. In addition, bioactive compounds of B. subtilis inhibited R. solanacearum growth by generating 17 ± 0.09 mm zone of inhibition. To unveil the inhibition mechanism, we adopted chemical-protein interaction network and molecular docking approaches where we found that, rutin from C. citratus interacts with citrate (Si)-synthase and dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase of R. solanacearum with binding affinity of -9.7 kcal/mol and -9.5 kcal/mol while quercetin from B. subtillis interacts with the essential protein F0F1 ATP synthase subunit alpha of the R. solancearum with binding affinity of -6.9 kcal/mol and inhibit the growth of R. solanacearum. Our study will give shed light on the development of eco-friendly biological control of wilt disease of papaya.
