Influenza hemagglutinin that drives viral entry into cells via the membrane fusion process is an up-and-coming antiviral drug target. Herein, we described for first time design, synthesis, and biological characteristics of a new class pentacyclic triterpenoid-based proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) to enhance degradation Among these PROTACs, V3 showed best effect on with median concentration 1.44 μM in ubiquitin proteasome-dependent manner broad-spectrum anti-influenza A virus...

There is an urgent need to develop antiviral drugs and alleviate the current COVID-19 pandemic. Herein we report design construction of chimeric oligonucleotides comprising a 2'-OMe-modified antisense oligonucleotide 5'-phosphorylated 2'-5' poly(A)4 (4A2-5 ) degrade envelope spike RNAs SARS-CoV-2. The was used for searching recognizing target viral RNA sequence, conjugated 4A2-5 guided RNase L activation sequence-specifically RNAs. Since can potently cleave single-stranded during innate...

Betulinic acid (BA) and oleanolic (OA) are plant-derived conjugates found in various medicinal plants that have emerged as potential antitumor agents. Herein, a series of novel BA OA derivatives were synthesized by conjugation with per-O-methylated-β-cyclodextrin (PM-β-CD), their anticancer properties against panel three human cancer cell lines evaluated. Two OA-PM-β-CD (48 50) observed to be the most potent (MCF-7, BGC-823, HL-60), 15- 20-fold decrease IC50 values (IC50: 6.06–8.47 μM)...

Rapid diagnosis and vaccine development are critical to prevent the threat posed by viruses. However, rapid tests, such as colloidal gold assays, yield false-negative results due low quantities of viruses; moreover, conventional virus purification, including ultracentrifugation nanofiltration, is multistep time-consuming, which limits laboratory research commercial viral vaccines. A enrichment purification technique will improve clinical sensitivity simplify production. Hence, we developed...

Abstract There is an urgent need for effective antiviral drugs to alleviate the current COVID-19 pandemic. Here, we rationally designed and developed chimeric antisense oligonucleotides degrade envelope spike RNAs of SARS-CoV-2. Each oligonucleotide comprises a 3’ sequence target recognition 5’-phosphorylated 2’-5’ poly(A)4 guided ribonuclease L (RNase L) activation. Since RNase can potently cleave single strand RNA during innate response, improved degradation efficiency was twice as much...
