Bisabolane-type sesquiterpenoids and bacillibactin from the marine-derived fungus < em > Aspergillus sydowii < /em > SCSIO 41041 and their enzyme inhibiting activity
Nat Prod Res. 2023 Oct 18:1-4. doi: 10.1080/14786419.2023.2269470. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTwelve compounds, including eleven bisabolane-type sesquiterpenoids (1 - 11), and one bacillibactin (12) were identified from marine-derived fungus Aspergillus sydowii SCSIO 41041 isolated from Creseis acicula. The chemical structures were elucidated by the basis of spectroscopic evidences, including HRESIMS, NMR and optical rotation. Biologically, all compounds were evaluated for their acetyl cholin-esterase (AChE) enzyme, pancreatic lipase (PL) enzyme, neuraminidase (NA) and phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitory activities. C...

Development of chalcone-like derivatives and their biological and mechanistic investigations as novel influenza nuclear export inhibitors
Eur J Med Chem. 2023 Sep 29;261:115845. doi: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2023.115845. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTConcerning the emergence of resistance to current anti-influenza drugs, our previous phenotypic-based screening study identified the compound A9 as a promising lead compound. This chalcone analog, containing a 2,6-dimethoxyphenyl moiety, exhibited significant inhibitory activity against oseltamivir-resistant strains (H1N1 pdm09), with an EC50 value of 1.34 μM. However, it also displayed notable cytotoxicity, with a CC50 value of 41.46 μM. Therefore, compound A9 was selected as a prototype structure for further structu...

Molecules, Vol. 28, Pages 6678: Pharmacoinformatics and Breed-Based De Novo Hybridization Studies to Develop New Neuraminidase Inhibitors as Potential Anti-Influenza Agents
A. Kawsar Influenza represents a profoundly transmissible viral ailment primarily afflicting the respiratory system. Neuraminidase inhibitors constitute a class of antiviral therapeutics employed in the management of influenza. These inhibitors impede the liberation of the viral neuraminidase protein, thereby impeding viral dissemination from the infected cell to host cells. As such, neuraminidase has emerged as a pivotal target for mitigating influenza and its associated complications. Here, we apply a de novo hybridization approach based on a breed-centric methodology to elucidate novel neuraminidase inhibitors. The ...

Viruses, Vol. 15, Pages 1780: Assessing the Intense Influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 Epidemic and Vaccine Effectiveness in the Post-COVID Season in the Russian Federation
ova Boyarintseva Ksenafontov Shtro Nikolaeva Bakaev Burtseva Lioznov The COVID-19 pandemic had a profound impact on influenza activity worldwide. However, as the pandemic progressed, influenza activity resumed. Here, we describe the influenza epidemic of high intensity of the 2022&amp;ndash;2023 season. The epidemic had an early start and peaked in week 51.2022. The extremely high intensity of the epidemic may have been due to a significant decrease in herd immunity. The results of PCR-testing of 220,067 clinical samples revealed that the influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus dominated, causing 56.4% of...
