Indian Researchers Discover Potential Drugs

Against Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis, caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is a major cause of death worldwide and to lessen this death count Researchers have now come with
a new drug candidate to fight tuberculosis.

IN 2017 ALONE, 10 MILLION IN-

DIVIDUALS AROUND THE GLOBE
WERE IMPACTED BY THE DISOR-

CUMBED TO IT.
By Swarna Khushbu

Tuberculosis, caused by the bacte-

ria Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is a
major cause of death worldwide and
to lessen this death count Researchers
have now come with a new drug can-
didate to fight tuberculosis. In 2017
alone, 10 million individuals around
the globe were impacted by the disor-
der, and about 1.6 million succumbed
to it.

In recent a recent study, researchers
from the Veer Narmad South Gujarat
University have developed some po-
tential drugs against tuberculosis and
have analyzed their efficiency against
the TB bacteria and other germs.
Scientists throughout the globe are
exploring TB therapy options using
natural chemicals, and mixtures of
drugs, and are screening new drugs
using computer-based approaches.
In the current study, the investigators
have synthesized some agents be-
longing to the group’azoles’, which
are proven to kill germs fungi, by
preventing the synthesis of lipids
in their own body. The analysis has
been published in the journal Current
Computer-Aided Drug Design. The
researchers then analyzed the effi-
ciency of the compounds against four
other germs, the TB germs, and three
species. They have decided that the
concentration of those chemicals that
can inhibit the growth of microbes.
Using a computer-based approach
called they studied the interaction of
these compounds with a target protein
in the TB bacteria. They also analyz-
ed the absorption, distribution, me-
tabolism, and excretion properties of
these compounds.
Six of the synthesized compounds
showed promising antimicrobial ac-
tivity with one of them being very ef-
ficient in killing the TB bacteria were
found by the Researchers.
The Researchers said that this com-
pound could act as a potential an-
ti-tuberculosis drug in the future. The
also said give the best option for the
preparation of new derivatives to be
able to enhance antitubercular activ-
ity in future with more improved po-
tency.
With a global fight against tubercu-
losis on full throttle, studies like this
can help us reach the objective of
eliminating the disease very soon.

IIT Mandi Researchers Discover New Drug

Against Zika Virus
Till date, Millions of people have been affected by the Zika Virus.

A GROUP OF RESEARCHERS AT
IIT- MANDI LEAD BY DR. RAJANISH
GIRI, ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF BI-
OTECHNOLOGY HAVE DISCOVERED
A DRUG TARGET IN ZIKA VIRUS
THAT HAS THE CAPABILITY TO AT-
TACH TO AN EXISTING ANTIMALAR-
IAL DRUG TO HALT THE SPREAD OF
THE INFECTION THROUGHOUT THE
HUMAN BODY.

By Preety Suman

Earlier scientists at Washington Uni-

versity, the USA under the direction
of Prof Indira Mysorekar had dis-
covered that an antimalarial drug –
hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) reduces
the chance of the ZIKV transmission
from mother to fetus. Working ahead
on this lead, scientists at Prof Giri’s
lab have located the target viral pro-
tein upon which the HCQ drug acts.
Zika virus is included in the WHO’s
top 10 global threat against health
2019 list, showcasing the severity
of this virus. It belongs to the genus
Flavivirus along with dengue virus,
yellow fever virus, and Japanese
Encephalitis virus. The symptoms
of ZIKV infections are severe head-
aches, lethargy often associated with
various neurological disorders as
well. Upon passed on to the fetus by
the mother the child can suffer from
a deadly disease called microcephaly.
In order to block the ZIKV activity
a crucial an enzyme called – NS2B-
NS3 protease was targeted under the
study. The enzyme plays the role of
governing polyprotein maturation –
viral multiplication, leading to sur-
vival and pathogenesis of the virus.
High throughput virtual screening
of FDA approved drug library was
done in order to identify molecules
that can inhibit the actions of NS2B-
NS3 protease. Five compounds that
showed up had a prominent affinity
towards the protease out of which one
compound was HCQ. The HCQ com-
pound was further validated by mo-
lecular dynamics simulations.
Zika virus gene construct was cloned
by the scientists and its NS2B-NS3
protease enzyme was purified & ex-
pressed. The study shows that HCQ
bonded with the NS2B-NS3 protease
complex, thus competitively inhib-
iting its ability to contribute to viral
multiplication.
Prof Sanjeev Kumar Singh from Al-
agappa University, Tamil Nadu also
joined the IIT Mandi team in this re-
search study, the findings of which
were published in the American
Chemical Society journal.

Remembering Nobel Laureate –

Osamu Shimomura
WEEKLY PODCAST

Episode16

Seventy-three years ago on a Thursday

morning, August 1945, while following
the bomber planes, he noticed them tak-
ing an unusual route towards the center of
the city. As soon as he sat down for work
in a factory seven and a half miles from
Nagasaki, Japan, a powerful flash of light
came through the small windows. All were
briefly blinded for about 30 seconds and
then, about 40 seconds after the flash, a
loud sound and sudden change of air pres-
sure followed. There was a huge explosion
somewhere, but no one knew where.

In this podcast, we will be remem-

bering the Nobel Laureate – Osamu
Shimomura. Listen up the fascinating
podcast Voice of Biotecnika – Episode
16 below to know how he was related
to the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Blasts
and much more about his discoveries
& inventions.
