5. In silico Drug Discovery

Her research outcomes has been recognised by scientific community. It was a proud moment, when one of the research articles published from this lab entitled “Pathogenesis Related Proteins: a defensin for plants but an allergen for humans” was highlighted in the news report of famous Current Science Journal (Current Science Report, News, Vol. 119, No. 5, 10th September 2020) and an article entitled “Protease inhibitors: recent advancement in its usage as a potential biocontrol agent for insect pest management” published in Insect Science was selected as top cited paper by Wiley.

Dr. Archana has also shown potential participation in multi-institutional collaborative work that led to publications, development of a database and patents. Dr. Archana in collaboration with other colleagues from different institutes, has developed a method for identifying multidrug resistant, Mycobacterium tuberculosisstrain. Dr. Archana was a team member in the development of a very useful tool, NeuroPIpred (https://webs.iiitd.edu.in/raghava/neuropipred/team.php).

 Currently, five research projects are being undertaken:

• Functional analysis of Spodoptera litura-inducible calmodulin-like protein from Glycine max.
• Deciphering Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Pathway involved in plant defense
• Transcriptomic and Proteomic analysis of herbivory induced defense response in Zea mays uponSpodoptera litura infestation.
• In silico prediction and in vitro analysis of allergenicity potential of defense-related proteins
• In silico Drug Discovery

• The group primarily works on molecular aspects of early defense signaling events to decipher components of calcium signaling during soybean-Spodoptera litura interaction. The group is also elucidating the Mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway involved in plant defense to counter pest and pathogen attack.Members of the group are also involved in studying defense orchestration of maize in response to Spodoptera litura, a voracious Noctuidae pest. In order to understand the molecular mechanism behind maize tolerance against S. litura, transcriptomics and proteomics studies were performed and the results indicated a balance of growth and defense response and utilization of a highly evolved C-diversion response was noticed. Maize showed better tolerance against herbivory and maintained its fitness using a combinatorial strategy.

  The group has contributed in the area of Human Health and drug discovery as well. The group as an collaborative effort,  has investigated on naturally occurring anti-cancerous compounds using in silico and in vitro tools and techniques to develop inhibitor of receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor ; identification of novel inhibitors of aldo‐ketoreductase 1C1 as potential lead molecules in treatment of breast cancer; application of myeloid cell leukemia 1 in cancer therapy. Recently, the group also published few articles on COVID-19, that are very significant and highly cited. The group works on potential plant allergenic proteins, which will allow the users to make an informed decision about the consumption of food with high degree of allergenic proteins. It was a proud moment, when one of the research articles published from this lab entitled “Pathogenesis Related Proteins: a defensin for plants but an allergen for humans” was highlighted in the news report of famous Current Science Journal (Current Science Report, News, Vol. 119, No. 5, 10th September 2020).
