Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship Model for Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors using Support Vector Machine Learning

 

 A QSAR model shall be built for tyrosine kinase inhibitors that will be able to capture the representative features of the dataset during training and that can then be used to predict the activity of other molecules. The model may also exhibit better predictive ability for a newly designed compound

1 Biochemical Characterization and Effects of selected plant extracts on pancreatic cells

 

 The extracts of Piper betel and Cinnamomum zeylanicum exhibited lower antityrosinase activity than L-ascorbic acid, which is a potent tyrosinase inhibitor commonly used in skin-whitening cosmetic products. In conclusion, further biological ex vivo investigations on human melanocytes should be done for confirming the tyrosinase inhibitory activity of these plants. The isolated methanolic extracts of Piper betel and Cinnamomum zeylanicum can serve as therapeutic or cosmetic agents can be used as potential sources of novel tyrosinase inhibitors for treating a variety of skin-related disorders.

 

The antidiabetic properties of plants can be evaluated in vitro by several methods such as study of glucose uptake, effect on glycosylation of the haemoglobin and inhibition of alpha glucosidase and alpha amylase enzymes. The mechanism of glucose transport across the yeast cell membrane has been gaining significant importance as an in vitro screening method for evaluating the hypoglycaemic effects of various medicinal plants. The above conducted in vitro studies depict an appreciable increase in the glucose uptake by the yeast cells in combination with the plant extracts.

Placement Policy & Guidelines for Students

The Placement Policy is applicable to all students registered with the Placement Cell of Mount Carmel College, Autonomous, and is to be followed during their entire tenure at the college.

Failing to do so, will result in the student being debarred from sitting for further recruitment drives. Exceptions will be made at the sole discretion of the Placement Cell only in genuine cases. Such cases/reasons to be formally communicated to the Placement Office over mail at least one day prior to the drive.
  11. The student has a choice not to participate in the recruitment process of a company after attending the Pre-Placement Talk. If she decides to continue, then she will be bound by the College Placement Policy to attend the rest of the recruitment process of the company as stated above.

  13. While the Placement Cell will do its due diligence and bring in the right companies, it is the responsibility of every student to check the company profile, eligibility, Job Profile and the Job Role before applying.

  14. If, after being selected by a company, for some reason the student is not satisfied either with the pay, the timings, work allotted, etc during onboarding, she will need to take it up with the concerned within the company. The Placement Cell will not be able to intervene in internal matters. However, it is important that the students reach out to us in case there are major deviations from the terms mentioned by the company at the time of recruitment.
