Differential algorithms-assisted molecular modeling-based identification of mechanistic binding of ganoderic acids
(Springer, 2015)
Ganoderma, in the recent years, has been comprehensively characterized and held invaluable for their miscellaneous pharmacological activities. Recently, attempts to explore and fathom the pathway of inhibition revealed ...
Alternate mild drought stress (20.1 MPa PEG) immunizes sensitive chickpea cultivar against lethal chilling by accentuating the defense mechanisms
(Springer, 2016)
The changes in climate particularly, the rise in temperature and humidity affect the physiological functions of plants subsequently affecting crop productivity adversely. A strategy is required which can be directly ...
Natural Compounds Targeting Transforming Growth Factor-β: In Silico and In Vitro Study
(ejBio, 2016)
Inhibition of the tumor-promoting effects of transforming growth factor beta receptor (TGFβR) in carcinogenesis provides a better therapeutic intervention. Various natural compounds, inhibitors of TGFβR have been used for ...
Morphological and molecular assessment of native carrageenophyte Hypnea valentiae (Cystocloniaceae, Gigartinales) in Indian Subcontinent
(Phycological Society, 2014)
Hypnea valentiae is an important red alga commercially cultivated in various parts of the world for the production of carrageenan. Presented in this report is findings of morphological and molecular observations of ...
Molecular assessment of invasive Carrageenophyte Kappaphycus alvarezii from India based on ITS-1 sequences
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2016)
This is the first report on the molecular systematic characterization of the invasive red alga Kappaphycus alvarezii in India. Cultivated for the production of carrageenan around the Gulf of Mannar, southeast India, this ...
New record of Sargassum zhangii (Sargassaceae, Fucales) in India based on nuclear and mitochondrial DNA barcodes
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2016)
Brown algal genus Sargassum encompasses some of the most invasive seaweeds in the oceans across the world. Here we report the occurrence of Sargassum zhangii in Palk Strait, southeast India. Hundreds of natural populations ...

Ganoderic acid targeting multiple receptors in cancer: in silico and in vitro study
(Springer Netherlands, 2016)
Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are transmembrane high-affinity surface receptors responsible for cell migration, adhesion, apoptosis, metabolism, and cell proliferation activities in various cancers. Minute aberration ...
Synthesis of imine-pyrazolopyrimidinones and their mechanistic interventions on anticancer activity
(2013)
Design, synthesis and anticancer activity of a series of imine-pyrazolopyrimidinones is reported for the first time. Compounds 9d, 9n and 9o in the series show encouraging in vitro anticancer activity with low micromolar ...
Strong endemism of bloom-forming tubular ulva in Indian west coast, with description of Ulva paschima sp. nov. (Ulvales, chlorophyta)
(Public Library of Science, 2014)
Ulva intestinalis and Ulva compressa are two bloom-forming morphologically-cryptic species of green seaweeds widely accepted as cosmopolitan in distribution. Previous studies have shown that these are two distinct species ...
