  • One health strategies against antimicrobial resistance integrating artificial intelligence genomics and environmental surveillance for planetary health
    Himanshu Jangid, Ali Asger Bhojiya, Kajal Arora, Abhishek Kumar Verma
    Discover Public Health, 2026
    Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses an escalating threat to human health, food systems, and environmental stability worldwide. This review paper evaluates the One Health paradigm as a comprehensive, interdisciplinary strategy to mitigate antibiotic resistance by tackling its interconnected factors within clinical, veterinary, and ecological spheres. It analyses the effects of antibiotic misuse, zoonotic transmission, and environmental reservoirs on the escalation of resistance, while evaluating the systemic barriers that hinder coordinated surveillance, policy alignment, and equitable resource distribution, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Innovative techniques like as CRISPR, metagenomics, and artificial intelligence (AI) are examined for their capacity to transform the detection, prediction, and intervention of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). AI-driven surveillance systems offer exceptional capabilities in real-time monitoring and data integration across several domains. Case studies from Denmark’s veterinary stewardship reforms and advanced wastewater monitoring underscore the effectiveness of targeted initiatives supported by robust governance. Despite these achievements, significant difficulties remain, such as infrastructure inadequacies, regulatory fragmentation, and opposition to change among stakeholders. This evaluation highlights that effective AMR containment requires not only technological breakthroughs but also coordinated policies, public engagement, and sustained worldwide collaboration. The comprehensive implementation of the One Health idea offers a scalable and equitable framework to preserve antibiotic efficacy and protect planetary health.
  • Designing a multi-epitope subunit vaccine against chikungunya virus using immunoinformatics and molecular simulation approaches
    Sk.Faisal Ahmed, Amalesh Mondal, Abir Hossain, Md. Shah Paran, Kaniz Fatema, Shormila Akter Sumya, Taiyara Mahjabin, Abhishek Dadhich, Abhishek Kumar Verma
    Scientific Reports, 2026
    Chikungunya is a mosquito-borne viral illness that is responsible for increased rates of infection and major public health consequences, but no approved vaccine is available yet. This research employed an integrated approach of immunoinformatics and structural vaccinology to develop a promising multi-epitope subunit vaccine candidate. This study focused on the conserved structural polyprotein (NP_690589) for the purpose of epitope predictions. After strict filtering for high antigenicity, safety, and excellent conservation (> 90%), 9 CTL epitopes, 8 HTL epitopes, and 5 B-cell epitopes were selected. The ultimate vaccine formulation, associated with beta-defensin-3 as an adjuvant, demonstrated favorable physicochemical characteristics, robust antigenicity (score 0.7317), and an anticipated global population coverage of 91.79%. Molecular docking revealed very stable binding to human TLR4 and TLR2. TLR4 was further confirmed by 100 ns MD simulation. Thereafter, an immune simulation study revealed the potentiality of the vaccine to augment both innate and adaptive immune responses. Codon optimization was done for efficient expression in E. coli . The mRNA of the proposed vaccine exhibited stability in in vivo conditions. This in silico-designed vaccine candidate suggests it is highly immunogenic, physically stable, and widely protective. It is a strong candidate that now needs experimental validation to move toward preclinical testing.
  • Rational Design, Synthesis, and in silico Bio-efficacy of Triazole-Clubbed Chalcone Hybrids
    Vartika Vaishya, Abhishek Kumar Verma, Meenakshi Pilania
    Synthesis Germany, 2026
    This study reports an effective intramolecular cycloaddition of N-tosylhydrazones with 4-aminoacetophenone, facilitated by I2/DMSO, and thus forming acetylated 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles. This method provides a straightforward, versatile, and efficient approach for synthesizing 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles under metal- and azide-free conditions, utilizing molecular iodine. Furthermore, functionalization was carried out to obtain 1,2,3-triazole-clubbed-chalcone hybrids, and these compounds were subsequently tested for their in silico antimicrobial activity, considering the known potential bioactivities of these two pharmacophores. In silico molecular docking studies revealed that nearly all the compounds exhibited better docking scores than the standard drug ciprofloxacin against both S. aureus (PDB ID:3G75) and E. coli (PDB ID:1GRX). Among these, compound 5e showed the most favorable docking score of −8.3 ± 0.46 kcal/mol for S. aureus, and compound 5t showed the best docking score of −8.2 ± 0.78 kcal/mol for E. coli. Compound 5i showed a better docking score compared to the antifungal drug fluconazole for A. niger (PDB ID:1WS3), with a docking score of −9.5 ± 0.72 kcal/mol. The results of these experimental findings underscore the potential of these 1,2,3-triazole-clubbed chalcone hybrids to function as effective multifunctional agents with antibacterial and antifungal capabilities.
  • In silico evaluation of Ocimum sanctum phytochemicals for diabetic foot ulcer therapy through docking, ADMET, DFT, and molecular dynamics
    Sk. Faisal Ahmed, Md. Raihan Ahmed, Md. Faisal Patwary Hemal, Faria Mehjabin Chandni, Tousif Arafat Rafsan, Susmoy Sarker, Jaikee Kumar Singh, Krishan Kant Meena, Kajal Arora, Abhishek Kumar Verma
    Scientific Reports, 2025
    Due to poorly managed diabetes, diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) often have elevated MMP-9 levels that slow wound healing. High levels of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), notably MMP-9, which are necessary for inflammation and wound repair, slow DFU recovery. This study investigates phytocompounds from Ocimum sanctum as MMP-9 inhibitors for diabetic foot ulcers to promote wound healing and develop effective treatments. Phytocompounds from Ocimum sanctum were compared to (R)-ND-336 for MMP-9 inhibition via molecular docking. Toxicology, ADME, and drug-likeness were assessed. MMP-9 interactions and compound stability were analyzed by molecular dynamics simulations, whereas reactivity was tested using density functional theory calculations. The binding stability was determined using structural and energetic studies. Docking experiments discovered nine phytochemicals with higher binding affinities than (R)-ND-336. Seven compounds met Lipinski’s rule of five and demonstrated drug-like properties. Cytotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, and neurotoxicity were absent in most substances, while chlorogenic acid and rosmarinic acid showed immunotoxicity. Docking research revealed strong binding affinities between MMP-9 and cianidanol, luteolin, rosmarinic acid, apigenin, and quercetin (-9.1 to -9.8 kcal/mol). Thermal study demonstrated spontaneous binding of rosmarinic acid and quercetin. In HOMO-LUMO analysis, smaller energy gaps suggested greater reactivity and metabolic stability. Molecular electrostatic potential research showed lutein was most polar. Molecular dynamics simulations validated apigenin’s stability, negligible RMSD variations, optimal SASA, and robust receptor binding. This study investigates apigenin, a phytochemical found in Ocimum sanctum , as a prospective inhibitor of MMP-9 for the healing of diabetic foot ulcers.

  • In silico and structural investigation of sulfonamides targeting VraSR two component system in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
    Abhishek Kumar Verma, Sandeep Kumar Srivastava
    Journal of Biomolecular Structure and Dynamics, 2025
    Drug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains are global health concerns. Several studies have shown that these strains can develop defences against cell wall antibiotics such as β-lactams, glycopeptides and daptomycin which target cell wall biosynthesis. The coordination of these responses have been associated with two component system (TCS) regulated by histidine kinase protein (VraS) and its cognate regulator VraR which influences the target DNA upon signal recognition. Computer-based screening methods, predictions and simulations have emerged as more efficient and quick ways to identify promising new compound leads from large databases against emerging drug targets thus allowing prediction of small select set of molecules for further validations. These combined approaches conserve valuable time and resources. Due to methicillin resistance, sulfonamide-derivative medications have been found to be effective treatment strategy to treat S. aureus infections. The current study used ligand-based virtual screening (LBVS) to identify powerful sulfonamide derivative inhibitors from an antibacterial compound library against VraSR signaling components, VraS and VraR. We identified promising sulfonamide derivative [compound 5: (4-[(1-{[(3,5-Dimethoxyphenyl)Carbamoyl]Methyl}-2,4-Dioxo-1,2,3,4-Tetrahydroquinazolin-3-Yl)Methyl]-N-[(Furan-2-Yl)Methyl]Benzamide)] with reasonable binding parameters of -31.38 kJ/mol and ΔGbind score of -294.32 kJ/mol against ATP binding domain of sensor kinase VraS. We further identified four compounds N1 (PCID83276726), N3 (PCID83276757), N9 (PCID3672584), and N10 (PCID20900589) against VraR DNA binding domain (VraRC) with ΔGbind energies of -190.27, -237.54, -165.21, and -190.88 kJ/mol, respectively. Structural and simulation analyses further suggest their stable interactions with DNA interacting residues and potential to disrupt DNA binding domain dimerization; therefore, it is prudent to further investigate and characterize them as VraR dimer disruptors and inhibit other promoter binding site. Interestingly, the discovery of drugs that target VraS and VraR may open new therapeutic avenues for drug-resistant S. aureus. These predictions based on screening, simulations and binding affinities against VraSR components hold promise for opening novel therapeutic avenues against drug-resistant S. aureus and present opportunities for repositioning efforts. These efforts aim to create analogs with enhanced potency and selectivity against two-component signaling systems that significantly contribute to virulence in MRSA or VRSA. These analyses contribute valuable insights into potential avenues for combating antibiotic-resistant S. aureus through computationally driven drug discovery strategies.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.
  • Unlocking potent inhibitors for Mycobacterium tuberculosis NaMN adenylyltransferase: a multi-database exploration through integrated structure and ligand-based pharmacophore modelling, dynamics and energetic analysis
    Abhishek Kumar Verma, Sandeep Kumar Srivastava
    Molecular Simulation, 2025
    Ability of mycobacteria to develop resistance against new antibiotics is demanding novel screening methodologies beyond conventional methods for new anti-tubercular drugs. Enzymes of NAD biogenesis in mycobacteria present a viable therapeutic target for both latent and active tuberculosis. It has recently been demonstrated that NaMN adenylyltransferase is an essential enzyme for mycobacterial survival. We present here the pharmacophore-based virtual screening strategies to find potential inhibitors against the NaMN adenylyltransferase. Pharmacophores were designed using benzimidazolium derivatives which occupy a unique site inducing the formation of dimer of dimers of NaMN adenylyltransferase and blocking its activity. Several such compounds exhibited high affinity binding to the NaMN adenylyltransferase structure, distinguishing them as high-scoring inhibitors. Further, molecular dynamics simulations along with MM-PBSA calculations were performed to evaluate them. Notably, ZINC34698873 from ligand-based pharmacophore modelling and CCG30319 from structure-based pharmacophore modelling both showed substantial binding and inhibitory effects against this enzyme. Simulation results indicate that these possible inhibitors were able to effectively adopt and form stable complexes within the binding pocket. Furthermore, the assertion that these molecules create strong contacts with dimer interface region residues were further supported by the low binding energy obtained from MM-PBSA.HIGHLIGHTSVirtual screening for new antitubercular medicines that targets NaMN adenylyltransferase.Ligand and structure-based pharmacophore modelling was employed in the study.The binding efficacy is validated by MM-PBSA calculations and molecular dynamics simulations.Compounds ZINC34698873 and CCG30319, demonstrating strong binding affinity to NaMN adenylyltransferase, show promise as candidates for antitubercular drugs.

  • Unveiling the Potential of Bergenia Phenolics: Vitexin's Role in Allosteric Modulation of PBP2a as a Strategy against MRSA Resistance
    Abhishek Kumar Verma, Anshulika Saxena, Sandeep Kumar Srivastava
    Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry, 2024
    Background: For cell wall biosynthesis, drug-resistant S. aureus uses a special protein called PBP2a, even when antibiotics are present and stop its natural processes from working. To combat this, novel therapies are required to specifically target PBP2a with greater efficacy Methods: Using computational approaches, we screened nine phenolic compounds from other Bergenia species, including Bergenia ciliata, Begenia ligulata, Bergenia purpurascens, and Bergenia stracheyi, against the PBP2a allosteric site to explore the potential interaction between phenolic compounds and a specific region of PBP2a known as the allosteric site. Results: Based on interaction patterns and estimated affinity, vitexin has been found to be the most prominent phenolic compound. We performed MD simulations on vitexin and ceftazidime as control molecules based on the docking results. The binding free energy estimates of vitexin (-94.48 +/- 17.92 kJ/mol) using MM/PBSA were lower than those of the control (-67.61 +/- 12.29 kJ/mol), which suggests that vitexin may be able to inhibit PBP2a activity in MRSA. Conclusion: It has been intriguing to observe a correlation between the affinity of the lead vitexin at the allosteric site and the modification of Tyr446, the active site gatekeeper residue in PBP2a. Our findings have implied that lead vitexin can either directly or indirectly decrease PBP2a activity by inducing allosteric site change in conventional medicine.
  • ‘Computational studies on coumestrol-ArlR interaction to target ArlRS signaling cascade involved in MRSA virulence’
    Abhishek Kumar Verma, Grijesh Jaiswal, Kazi Nasrin Sultana, Sandeep Kumar Srivastava
    Journal of Biomolecular Structure and Dynamics, 2024
    Two component signaling system ArlRS (Autolysis-related locus) regulates adhesion, biofilm formation and virulence in methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus. It consists of a histidine kinase ArlS and response regulator ArlR. ArlR is composed of a N-terminal receiver domain and DNA-binding effector domain at C-terminal. ArlR receiver domain dimerizes upon signal recognition and activates DNA binding by effector domain and subsequent virulence expression. In silico simulation and structural data suggest that coumestrol, a phytochemical found in Pueraria montana, forges a strong intermolecular interaction with residues involved in dimer formation and destabilizes ArlR dimerization, an essential conformational switch required for downstream effector domain to bind to virulent loci. Structural and energy profiles of simulated ArlR-coumestrol complexes suggest lower affinity between ArlR monomers due to structural rigidity at the dimer interface hindering the conformational rearrangements relevant for dimer formation. These analyses could be an attractive strategy to develop therapeutics and potent leads molecules response regulators of two component systems in which are involved in MRSA virulence as well as other drug-resistant pathogens.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.
