    Synthesis and xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity of 5,6 dihydropyrazolo/pyrazolo[1,5-c]quinazoline derivatives
    (Elsevier, 2014) Kumar, Deependra; Kaur, Gagandeep; Negi, Arvind; Kumar, Sanjeev; Singh, Sandeep; Kumar, Raj
    Some 5,6-dihydropyrazolo/pyrazolo[1,5-c]quinazoline derivatives were rationally designed, synthesized and evaluated for in vitro xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity for the first time. Some notions about structure activity relationships are presented. The compounds 6g, 6h and 6e were found to be significantly active against XO. The compound 6g emerged as the most potent XO inhibitor as compared to allopurinol and free radical scavenger. The molecular docking of 6g into the XO active site highlighted its mode of binding and important interactions such as hydrogen bonding, π–π stacking with amino acid residues like Ser876, Thr1010, Phen914, Phe1009 and Phe649 and its close proximity to dioxothiomolybdenum (MOS).

    Photoprotective, antioxidant screening and new ester from dry root extracts of Potentilla atrosanguinea (Himalayan cinquefoil)
    (Elsevier, 2016) Kaur, Rajbir; Singla, Ramit; Jaitak, Vikas; Gupta, Vinay Kumar
    In vitro photoprotective and antioxidant activities of dried aqueous-methanolic (H2O/MeOH) crude extract and ethyl acetate (EtOAc), n-butanol (n-BuOH) as well as aqueous (H2O) fractions of roots of western Himalayan plant Potentilla atrosanguinea (Himalayan cinquefoil) were evaluated. The ability of protection against UVB region followed the trend EtOAc>n-BuOH>H2O/MeOH>H2O. Total phenol content of crude H2O/MeOH extract was found to be 429.808mg GAE/g. The H2O/MeOH crude extract showed highest antioxidant of DPPH radical scavenging, superoxide anion radical scavenging and cupric ion reducing of 90.04, 78.86 and 88.64% respectively at 200?g/mL. One new compound methyl pentatetraconta-30,32,34,36,38,40,42-heptaenoate (PA-1) along with a known pentadecylbutyrate (PA-2) was isolated by column chromatography. Results indicated the importance of root extracts as photoprotective agents in sunscreen preparation in the pharmaceutical industry and considered as a natural source of antioxidants. ? 2015 South African Association of Botanists.
