    Abstract Medicinal and aromatic plants are increasingly becoming the focus of many researchers in the search for alternative antimicrobial agents due to their large number of diverse bioactive compounds called phytochemicals. Persea americana (Avocado) is an evergreen tree plant known for its healthy fruit and has been used in the management of disease and infections. The stem bark of P. americana was investigated for its phyto-constituents and antimicrobial activity using standard methods. The stem bark was preponderant in polyphenolic compounds of which flavonoid was found to be abundant (480.01), the antimicrobial activity study of the extracts also showed good inhibitory activity on all the tested strains with K. oxytoca (27.50 ± 0.67 mm) and A. flavus (88.89%) mostly susceptible in a concentration-dependent manner. The study revealed that P. americana extracts could be explored in the search for alternative antimicrobial agents.

    Abstract It is no longer news that a novel strain of coronavirus named SARS-CoV-2 is ravaging the health sector worldwide, several attempts have been made to curtail this pandemic via repurposing of old drugs but at the present, available drugs are not adequately effective. Over the years, plant phytochemicals are increasingly becoming alternative sources of antimicrobial agents with novel mechanisms of action and limited side effects compared to synthetic drugs. Isolated saponins and tannins were evaluated for antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2 (M

    Abstract A recent outbreak of a new strain of Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has become a global health burden, which has resulted in deaths. No proven drug has been found to effectively cure this fast-spreading infection, hence the need to explore old drugs with the known profile in tackling this pandemic. A computer-aided drug design approach involving virtual screening was used to obtain the binding scores and inhibiting efficiencies of previously known antibiotics against SARS-CoV-2 main protease (M

    Abstract A recent outbreak of a new strain of Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has become a global health burden, which has resulted in deaths. No proven drug has been found to effectively cure this fast-spreading infection, hence the need to explore old drugs with the known profile in tackling this pandemic. A computer-aided drug design approach involving virtual screening was used to obtain the binding scores and inhibiting efficiencies of previously known antibiotics against SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mᵖʳᵒ). The drug-likeness analysis of the repurposed drugs were done using the Molinspiration chemoinformatics tool, while the Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion, and Toxicity (ADMET) analysis was carried out using ADMET SAR-2 webserver. Other analyses performed include bioactivities of the repurposed drug as a probable anti-SARS-CoV-2 agent and oral bioavailability analyses among others. The results were compared with those of drugs currently involved in clinical trials in the ongoing pandemic. Although antibiotics have been speculated to be of no use in the treatment of viral infections, literature has emerged lately to reveal the antiviral potential and immune-boosting ability of antibiotics. This study identified Tarivid and Ciprofloxacin with binding affinities of − 8.3 kcal/mol and − 8.1 kcal/mol, respectively as significant inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 (Mᵖʳᵒ) with better pharmacokinetics, drug-likeness and oral bioavailability, bioactivity properties, ADMET properties and inhibitory strength compared to Remdesivir (− 7.6 kcal/mol) and Azithromycin (− 6.3 kcal/mol). These observations will provide insight for further research (clinical trial) in the cure and management of COVID-19.
