Competing Interests

The research was funded by Albert David Ltd., Kolkata, India. However, the drug house had no role in study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript. Moreover, they had no role in terms of employment, consultancy, patents and products in development or marketed products. Council of Scientific and Industrial Research - Indian Institute of Chemical Biology provided all infrastructural support. This therefore does not alter the authors’ adherence to all the PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
