Investigation of Methyl-5-(pentan-3-yloxy)-7-oxabicyclo[4.1.0]hept-3-ene-3-carboxyhydrazide Derivatives as Potential Inhibitors of COVID-19 Main Protease: DFT and Molecular Docking Study
In this study, hydrazones derived from oseltamivir intermediate, methyl 5-(pentan-3-yloxy)-7-oxabicyclo[4.1.0]hept-3-ene-3-carboxylate have been investigated for their potential as drug candidates against the COVID-19 virus using computational methods, including density functional theory (DFT) studies, molecular docking, and absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity (ADMET) analysis. The DFT studies provide information on the electronic properties of the compounds while the molecular docking results using AutoDock reported the binding energies between the main protease of COVID-19 and the compounds. The ...

The combined effect of oseltamivir and favipiravir on influenza a virus evolution in patients hospitalized with severe influenza
In this study, we collected longitudinal respiratory samples from influenza patients who underwent combination therapy and applied them to next generation sequencing of the whole genome of the influenza A virus (IAV). We also included a cohort untreated with any antivirals to serve as the control. In total, 62 samples from 19 patients treated with combination therapy and 20 samples from 20 patients untreated were successfully sequenced. The nucleotide diversity in the whole genome of IAV in the combination group showed no difference compared to that in the control group (P > 0.05). Moreover, we observed 174 kinds of non...

A systematic review of the clinical characteristics of influenza-COVID-19 co-infection
AbstractCOVID-19 has impacted populations across the globe and has been a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Influenza is another potentially deadly respiratory infection that affects people worldwide. While both of these infections pose major health threats, little is currently understood regarding the clinical aspects of influenza and COVID-19 co-infection. Our objective was to therefore provide a systematic review of the clinical characteristics, treatments, and outcomes for patients who are co-infected with influenza and COVID-19. Our review, which was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for...
