The SARS‐CoV‐2 main protease (Mpro): Structure, function, and emerging therapies for COVID‐19

TL;DR: All information and knowledge presented here are very helpful for understanding the structural features and inhibitory mechanisms of SARS‐CoV‐2 3CLpro inhibitors, which offers new insights or inspiration to medicinal chemists for designing and developing more efficacious 3CL Pro inhibitors as novel anti‐coronavirus agents.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interactions with Microbial Proteins Driving the Antibacterial Activity of Flavonoids.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an overview of the most interesting results obtained in the research focused on the study of the interactions between flavonoids and bacterial proteins, which demonstrate the great potential of these compounds in developing innovative systems, which can help address the increasingly serious problem of antibiotic resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bioactivity of natural biflavonoids in metabolism-related disease and cancer therapies

TL;DR: In this article, the translational role of biflavones in cancer with respect to the inhibition of metabolism-related processes/pathways, enzymes, or proteins, such as STAT3/SHP-1/PTEN, kinesins, tissue kallikreins, aromatase, estrogen, protein modifiers, antioxidant, autophagy, and apoptosis induction mechanisms, are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metabolic Engineering of Microbial Cell Factories for Biosynthesis of Flavonoids: A Review.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors mainly reviewed the biosynthetic pathways of flavonoids and the development of microbial expression systems for the production of Flavonoids in order to provide a useful reference for further research on synthetic metabolic engineering of the plant secondary metabolites.

Effects of structural differences on the antibacterial activity of biflavonoids from fruits of the Brazilian peppertree (Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi).

TL;DR: The activity of biflavonoids, including agathisflavone (AGF), amentoflavone (AMF), and tetrahydroamentoflav one (THAF), was dependent on their chemical configuration and degree of oxidation, with THAF showing the highest activity on planktonic cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

A new prenylated biflavonoid from the leaves of Garcinia dulcis

TL;DR: A new prenylated biflavonoid was isolated from the leaves of Garcinia dulcis and its structures were elucidated by analysing their spectroscopic data, especially 1D and 2D NMR.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ericoside, a new antibacterial biflavonoid from Erica mannii (Ericaceae).

TL;DR: Of the purified compounds, ericoside displayed moderate activity against the resistant Escherichia coli AG100 with a MIC of 64 μg/mL and was tested against ten Gram-negative bacteria including multidrug resistant clinical isolates using a broth microdilution method.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kolaviron Improves Morbidity and Suppresses Mortality by Mitigating Oxido-Inflammation in BALB/c Mice Infected with Influenza Virus

TL;DR: It is suggested that KV may be effective for delaying the development of clinical symptoms of influenza virus, and this may be through a mechanism unrelated to those deployed by the existing anti-influenza drugs but closely associated to its antioxidant and immunomodulatory properties.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cyclin-dependent kinases and CDK inhibitors in virus-associated cancers

TL;DR: The mechanisms of different onco-proteins which could deregulate the cell cycle proteins are reviewed, including HPV, HTLV, HERV, EBV, KSHV, HBV and HCV.
