Objective: The present study was carried out with three varieties (green, pink, and sweet) of Carissa carandas fruit extract for the identification of phytochemical constituents in C. carandas fruit extracts using Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GCMS) Methods: LC MS/MS and GCMS analysis were adopted to study three varieties of C. carandas fruit, namely green, pink, and sweet, using different solvent extractions such as ethanol, methanol, and aqueous. Results: High levels of phenolic acids and flavonoids in the green variety were beneficial for anti-diabetic activity due to their antioxidant properties. Among the three varieties of tested samples, the maximum concentration was observed in the ethanol extract of the green varieties (2.485 mg/g FW) compared to the ethanol extract of the pink (1.564 mg/g FW) and sweet (1.285 mg/g) varieties, respectively. Ethanol extract of the green variety has a high level of anthocyanin, which increases tolerance to disease. The separation and identification of fatty acids in C. carandas fruit were determined through analysis. The sweet C. carandas variety recorded the highest concentration of fatty acids (147.2 mg/100g FW) compared to the pink and green varieties (94.9 mg/100 g FW) and (72.79 mg/100 g FW), respectively, and could successfully identify the number of phytonutrients that have health benefits. Further work is being carried out, which may lead to the development of herbal medicine. Conclusion: The present study concludes that phytochemicals present in C. carandas fruit, extracted by LC-MS and GC MS analysis, contain antioxidant and anti-diabetic effects.

NF-κB is a vital transcription factor that responds to diverse stimuli like cytokines, infections, and stress. It forms different dimers, binds to specific DNA sequences, and regulates gene expression. It operates through two pathways: canonical (for inflammation and immunity) and non-canonical (for specific processes). These pathways tightly control activity of NF-κB and impacting gene expression. Aberrant NF-κB activation is linked to cancer and other diseases, making it a potential therapeutic target. This review explores the role of NF-κB in disease and its therapeutic potential in various conditions. Intricate signal transduction processes lead to NF-κB activation by phosphorylating IκB proteins, allowing NF-κB dimers to enter the nucleus and influence gene expression. This dynamic regulation involves co-activators and interactions with other transcription factors, shaping complex gene expression programs. Understanding the multifaceted functions off NF-κB is crucial as its deregulation is associated with a range of diseases, including cancer, autoimmune disorders, and inflammatory conditions. Exploring recent studies offers insights into potential therapeutic strategies aimed at modulating NF-κB activity to restore health and combat various pathological conditions. This Comprehensive review is based on the role of NF-κB in disease pathogenesis and therapeutic implications.
