Rice plants produce bioactive rice brans and hulls that have been reported to have
numerous health-promoting effects in cells, animals, and humans. The main objective of this …

Only a mere fraction of the huge variety of human pathogenic viruses can be targeted by the
currently available spectrum of antiviral drugs. The severe acute respiratory syndrome …

Milk contains an array of proteins with useful bioactivities. Many milk proteins encompassing
native or chemically modified casein, lactoferrin, alpha-lactalbumin, and beta-lactoglobulin …

Rice bran is a “treasure house of natural nutrition”. Even so, utilization of rice bran is often
ignored, and this has resulted in the wastage of nutrients. Polysaccharides are one of the …

Glucans are the most abundant natural polysaccharides across the living kingdom with
tremendous biological activities. Now a days, α-D-glucans are gaining importance as a …

Sulfated polysaccharides potently inhibit the infectivity of herpes simplex virus (HSV) in
cultured cells. In this study, we have analyzed sulfated xylogalactofucan and alginic acid …

Naturally occurring polysaccharide sulfates are highly diverse, owning variations in the
backbone structure, linkage pattern and stereochemistry, branching diversity, sulfate content …

The provisioning of compound libraries with a high degree of diversity and attractive
pharmacological properties is a limiting step in drug development. This study reports the …

Attachment and entry of many viruses are mediated by their affinity for polysaccharides
present on the surface of target cells. In this paper, we demonstrate that sulfated glucans …

Rice bran (RB) contains a distinct stoichiometry of phytochemicals that can promote gut
mucosal immune responses against enteric pathogens. The effects of RB on rotavirus …
