The role of thioureas in medicinal chemistry is immense; they possess polypharmacology in their nature which explains the so many and diverse bio activities associated with them. Having this in view, the current study was planned to explore some new potential drugs from thioureas class of organic compounds. Initially 10 thioureas were synthesized which were obtained in good yields and then characterized by different spectroscopic techniques. These compounds were given arbitrary numbers from 1 to 10. The biological activities of the synthesized compounds were assessed and in vitro antibacterial, antioxidant, antidiabetic and anticholinesterase potentials of the compounds were examined. The compounds were also fed to the experimental mice to find their in vivo antilipidemic, antihyperglycemic and toxicological effects. The compounds showed fair anti Alzheimer’s potential (in vitro) which is evident from their inhibition potentials against the two cholinesterases AChE and BChE. They also delivered very good in vitro antidiabetic activity by inhibiting the enzymes α-amylase, alpha-glucosidase and glucose-6-phosphatase; glucose-6-phosphatase was inhibited the most followed by α-amylase and then α-glucosidase. Moreover, the in vitro antidiabetic activity seemed to be more pronounced as compared to that of anti-AD. Of the compounds, compound 8 was more effective inhibitor of AChE (IC50 of 63 μg/ml) and also of BChE (IC50 of 80 μg/ml) than the rest of synthesized compounds. As for antidiabetic potential, against α-amylase, compound 9 turned out to the best inhibitor with IC50 of 62 μg/ml; alpha glucosidase was efficiently inhibited by compound 8 with of IC50 75 μg/ml, and glucose-6-phophatase was more potently inhibited by compound 10 which decreased the enzyme’s activity to a much lower level of 3.12± 1.1 (at concentration of 1000 mg/ml). All the compounds showed good scavenging potentials against DPPH and ABTS free radicals. DPPH was more potently scavenged by compound 1 with IC50 45 μg/ml while ABTS was also efficiently inhibited by compound 1 with IC50 45 μg/ml. The synthesized compounds were also assessed for their antibacterial spectrum against selected bacterial strains. Against Agrobacterium tumefacien compound 6 was more active (MIC of 4.02 μg/ml) as compared to other bacterial strains while against Proteus vulgaris compound 2 was more active (MIC value 4.45 μg/ml). The growth inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus was more pronounced for compound 9 (MIC= 4.03 μg/ml). The in vivo inhibition of glucose-6-phosphatase was greater for compound 7 that decreased the activity of enzyme to an extent of 21.42 at a dose of 1.5 mg/kg body weight of mice. The toxicity study of the compounds was then performed in Swiss albino mice; only four compounds (4, 7, 9 and 10) were turned out to be safe enough to be used for systemic uses as they produced no toxicological effects on biochemical and hematological parameters at the studied doses. The findings were also confirmed by histology study of liver specimens taken from the experimental animals. Blood glucose and lipid profiles of the experimental animals were also monitored at regular intervals and compounds declared as safe, viz., 4, 7, 9 and 10 were found to have notable hypoglycemic and antilipidemic potentials. These four compounds were then fed to STZ-induced diabetic mice; compound 7 was found to have a very potent antihyperglycemic potential as it decreased the blood glucose level up to 108.56±4.15 mg (of P released) being very close to 102.3 ± 3.73 mg (of p released), which was the glucose level recorded for the group that was treated with the commercially available antidiabetic medicine Glibenclamide. The body weight in the case of the group treated with compound 7 remained normal as compared to that of the negative control group. Compound 7 also effectively decreased triglyceride and LDL level and brought about a healthy increase in HDL level after 28 days of treatment. Although an array of different in vivo and in vitro activities was observed for the 10 compounds and these, in general, were found to have antioxidant, antibacterial, anticholinesterase, antidiabetic and antilipidemic potentials up to one extent or the other, but final selection for the in vivo testing was made based on toxicological screening in the experimental mice. Compound 4, 7, 9 and 10 were found safe and having enough antidiabetic therapeutic potential and thus could be used for treatment of hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia in patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus. Further studies which are compulsory steps required in the development of any new potential drug like structure activity relationship (SAR) and "absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion" (ADME) are still required to be carried out to establish the formal therapeutic status of the compounds.

حیرت ہے مے کدہ ہے کہ جنت خیال ہے

حیرت ہے، مے کدہ ہے کہ جنت خیال ہے
اک خوش نما سراب میں بھٹکا غزال ہے

دیکھے جو تجھ کو، دیکھ کے پھر ہوش میں رہے
باطل ہے اس کا دعویٰ، بڑا کج خیال ہے

قربت نے تیری بخش دیے فاصلے مزید
مجھ کو، مرے نصیب کو، سب کو ملال ہے

آنکھوں سے تم پکارو، ادھر وقت سے بھی تیز
میں دوڑتی نہ آئوں مری کیا مجال ہے

یاد اس کی ہے فضاؔ مری سانسوں میں دم بہ دم
رک جائے اک گھڑی بھی تو جینا محال ہے

احادیث نبویہ میں وارد احکام حیوانات کا تحقیقی جائزہ

Pakht┴n society has its own justice system which has different types of penalties and remedies to maintain the justice in the society. This study concentrates to investigate the nature of pecuniary punishment’s practice in distressing issues like killing, civil injuries and criminal offences. Perpetrators are punished to resolve the disputes. On one hand, this paper aims to find out answer to the methods of inflicting decisions in Pakhtan’s cult and on other hand, to shed light on the legal status of arbitration regarding resolving such issues in the light of Qur’an and Sunnah. Study results illustrate that in some cases the offenders are charged in term of money to facilitate the victims, while in other cases both of the parties, perpetrators and victims, are called upon on meal for reconciliation of their dispute. Besides this, sometimes it is observed that the offenders are not only awarded pecuniary punishment but they are exiled as well.

Epidemiology of Principal Viral Respirtaory Pathogens in Pakistani Children and Molecular Characterization of Influenza A/H3n2 and Respiratory Syncytial Viruses

21 ABSTRACTBSTRACTBSTRACTBSTRACTBSTRACTBSTRACTBSTRACT Acute respiratory infections (ARI) are associated with high morbidity and mortality rates at the global level. Approximately 20% of the deaths attributable to pneumonia globally occur in Pakistan with nearly one half the infections among children younger than 5 years of age. The objectives of this study were to define the molecular epidemiology of respiratory viruses in Pakistani children and to identify viral genotypes causing respiratory infections. In this study, we analyzed 1941 respiratory samples collected over three winter seasons and tested for common respiratory pathogens using real time PCR. We found 76% prevalence rate for viral pathogens with Influenza and RSV predominant among 0.01-6 and 12-24 months age groups respectively. Fever and cough were identified as significant clinical parameters along with malnutrition and maternal breastfeeding. Furthermore, phylogenetic analysis of representative Influenza A/H3N2 viruses showed that recent viruses belonged to subgroup 3C.3 and carried important amino acid substitutions in the H3 hemagglutinin, while no substitutions attributable to neuraminidase resistance were detected. We genotyped the Respiratory Syncytial viruses subtypes and analyzed the two surface glycoproteins G and F of over100 isolates. All RSV-A strains carried 297 amino acids long G protein and clustered in the NA1/GA2 genotype. We also reported a novel RSV B genotype BA-13 and two other genotype variants (BA-9 and BA-10). We analysed the fusion protein F in RSV A isolates at the binding sites for the monoclonal antibodies Palivizumab and Motavizumab specifically and found that the N276S substitution in over 90% of RSVA and all RSVB viruses. This work highlights the need for respiratory disease surveillance as it will support the development of appropriate public health surveillance programs to inform health planning.
