A compound - target - disease network was constructed to explore the potential targets and mechanism of Echinacoside against endometrial Cancer.

Effect of the aqueous extract of the root of C. dahurica (CRAE) on tumor growth by reprogramming macrophage polarization in the tumor microenvironment.

The spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has become a pandemic due to the high transmission and mortality rate of this virus. The world health and economic sectors have been severely affected by this deadly virus, exacerbated by the lack of sufficient efficient vaccines. The design of effective drug candidates and their rapid development is necessary to combat this virus. In this study, we selected 23 antimicrobial peptides from the literature and predicted their structure using PEP-FOLD 3.5. In addition, we docked them to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein receptor...

Celastrol shows potential anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity On the 11th of March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) to be a pandemic. This disease is highly infectious and is caused by a novel positive-stranded β-coronavirus, namely, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Globally, this virus has had a devastating effect on public health and the economy. Scientists believe that only the discovery of effective vaccines and potential drugs can contain the ongoing pandemic. Despite the commencement of vaccination programs in man...

Could a tuna-derived protein inhibit SARS-CoV-2? Infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) can cause respiratory distress and even death in severe cases. The disease manifested is called COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019). To date, no specific antiviral drug is available to treat the highly virulent SARS-CoV-2 infections in humans. A recent study in the journal Food Chemistrydraws attention to the need for finding nutritional supplements with potential SARS-CoV-2 inhibition effects in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Performing molecular docking, the stud...
