“…Molecular docking Prominent and biologically active compounds present in three fruits juices were detected through GC-MS analysis like 1,2-Longidione, 2-Butenedioic acid (E)-, monomethyl ester, 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural, Adrenalone, n-Hexadecanoic acid etc. [11]. These biologically active chemicals were selected to further identify the most effective ligand molecule from in-silico molecular docking analysis.…”

“…In India, only four species of Elaeagnus are recorded namely E. pyriformis, E. angustifolia, E. latifolia and E. umbellata [9]. Myrica (Bayberry or Box myrtle) belonging to the family Myricaceae varies between shrubs to trees and is mostly evergreen, dioecious with height ranging from 3 to 10 m. We previously reported comparative antioxidant profiling [10] and phytochemical fingerprints [11] of Elaeagnus and Myrica. Kar et al [11] also reported the presence of several compounds used to cure renal ailments.…”

Background: Elaeagnus pyriformis, Myrica nagi and Myrica esculenta are prominent actinorhizal plants of NorthEast India which produce juicy edible fruits. Native people of this region consume these fruits for nutritional enhancement. Apart from having immense nutritional value, fruits of these plants have been utilized in traditional medicine for providing protection against various ailments. In our previous study on antioxidant activity and phytochemical fingerprints using GC-MS method; many medicinally potent compounds in fresh fruit juice of the three plants were revealed. We reported the presence of several compounds used to cure renal ailments. In the present study we reported the efficacy of these juices to alleviate nephrotoxicity in rat model. We intend to understand to what extent these fruits could be beneficial. Within the same scope we tried to evaluate whether the bioactive compounds present in the fruits could be responsible for reducing nephrotoxicity by in-silico molecular docking approaches. Methods: In this study, three fruit juices namely Elaeagnus pyriformis, Myrica nagi and M. esculenta were evaluated on gentamicin induced nephrotoxicity in rat model. Nephrotoxicity was induced in wistar albino rats by intraperitoneal administration of gentamicin (100 mg/kg/day body weight) for 7 days. The study included a control group which received oral saline only, negative control group received gentamicin, positive control group received gentamicin and cystone, low dose group received gentamicin along with juice (200 mg/kg/day) and high dose group received gentamicin along with juice (400 mg/kg/day). Various enzymatic and biochemical parameters were assessed to study the protective effect of fruit juices in kidney disorders. Results: Among the three fruits M. esculenta showed promising result in all in-vivo enzymatic assays (Superoxide dismutase, Glutathione reductase, Lipid peroxidation and catalase). Nevertheless, all the three fruit juice showed high significance value with encouraging range of percentage of significance. The histological slides and in-silico study confirmed that these fruits are promising in alleviating nephrotoxicity in rat model. Conclusion: We may therefore conclude that fruit juices of silverberry (Elaeagnus) and bayberry (Myrica) may be used for formulating herbal medicine as a potent scavenger of free radicals to prevent the toxic effects of gentamicin in kidney disorders.

“…The phytometabolomic fingerprinting of consumed actinorhizal plants permitted the identification of a large diversity of the compounds present (Kar et al 2016). Other focused studies also permitted the screen of molecules found in actinorhizal leaves and fruits of Myrica nagi that have analgesic, cyclooxygenase inhibiting (Middha et al 2016b) or antiinflammatory properties (Middha et al 2016a).…”

An update on research on Frankia and actinorhizal plants on the occasion of the 18th meeting of the Frankia-actinorhizal plants symbiosis

A meeting was held from the 24th to the 27th of August 2015 in Montpellier, France, on Frankia-actinorhizal plants relations. This meeting was the 18th of the series that began in 1978 at Harvard Forest, USA. The initial meeting was sparked by the first isolation of a microbe from a Comptonia peregrina root nodule in pure culture, which had morphological features similar to those of the Frankia symbiont in nodules and was capable of forming nodules on its host (Callaham et al. 1978). This effectively boosted research on the symbiosis. The 2015 meeting was the opportunity to have 80 scientists from 17 different countries, present 34 oral presentations and 51 posters. The object was to exchange ideas on a range of subjects, initiate projects and discuss various controversies. The Montpellier meeting was opened by Jean-Marc Chataîgner, the IRD deputy managing director who outlined the opportunities and challenges facing scientists working on actinorhizal plants. Then there was an invited presentation by Allan Downie, Emeritus fellow at the John Innes Centre, Norwich, UK, who outlined the positive and negative aspects of the actinorhizal symbiosis research in comparison with the Legumes-rhizobia symbiosis.
