The invention relates to the potent anticancer and tubulin polymerization inhibition activity of new benzylidene indanones synthesized from gallic acid against several human cancer cell lines. The invention also provides a new process for the preparation of the said molecules and testing these for in vitro cytotoxic activity against various human cancer cell lines using Sulphorhodamine B Assay. Compounds were evaluated for acute oral activity in Swiss albino mice and were found to be safe up to 300mg/kg body weight.

This invention provides a plant growth regulatory activity of a new biologically active synthetic molecule Methanone- (3', 4', 5'-trimethoxy) phenyl, 1-naphthyl, 2-O-4'-ethyl but-2'-enoate. More particularly, the invention relates to the potent plant growth promoting activity of a gallic acid derivative having the structural formulae (1) and molecular formulae C26H26O7. This invention also provides a novel process for preparation of a said molecule from a naturally occurring compound and testing it for growth regulating activity using Bacopa test system developed at CIMAP (Khanuja et al 2001).

SouthAfrica/2005/07911/29.11.2006/

India/234974/23.6.2009

The invention relates to a novel nitrile glycoside named NIAZIRIDIN and the analogues and derivatives thereof by bioactivity-guided fractionation from the pods of Moringa oleifera in enhancing bioactivity of commonly used antibiotics such as rifampicin, tetracycline and ampicillin against Gram (+) and (-) bacteria. The biomolecule also enhances the absorption of drugs, vitamins and nutrients through the gastro-intestinal membrane increasing their bio-availability. Therefore, niaziridin can be used in combination therapy with drugs and nutrients resulting in reduced drug associated toxicity, reduced cost and duration of chemotherapy.
 
5 Use of phyllocladane diterpenoids for plant growth promotion and alleviation of growth retardant allelochemicals AK Singh,

PD Dwivedi,
AK Gupta,
SPS Khanuja
Australia/2002348820/14.2.2007

US/6673749/6.1.2004

The invention provides plant growth-promoting activities of active plant constituent calliterpenone and its derivatives belonging to the group phyllocladane diterpenoids. These phytochemicals and derivatives exhibit remarkable growth promoting activities on plant roots, shoots and promote seed germination both in mono and dicotyledonous plants. These phytomolecule possess antagonistic activity against allelochemicals of plant growth retardant nature and hence can be used to alleviate their detrimental effects.

India/281936/29.3.2017

The present invention relates to the development of a virtual screening model for predicting antipsychotic activity using quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR), molecular docking, oral bioavailability, ADME and Toxicity studies. QSAR model showed activity-descriptors relationship correlating measure (r2) 0.87 (87%) and predictive accuracy of 81% (rCV2=0.81). The present invention specifically showed strong binding affinity of the untested (unknown) novel compounds against anti-psychotic targets viz., Dopamine D2 and Serotonin (5HT2A) receptors through molecular docking approach. The present invention further showed compliance of Lipinski's rule of five for oral bioavailability and toxicity risk assessment for all the active Yohimbine derivatives
