    Abstract Tuberculosis is a worldwide problem that impose a burden on the economy due to continuous development of resistant strains. The development of new antitubercular drugs is a need and can be achieved through inhibition of druggable targets. Mycobacterium tuberculosis enoyl acyl carrier protein (ACP) reductase (InhA) is an important enzyme for Mycobacterium tuberculosis survival. In this study, we report the synthesis of isatin derivatives that could treat TB through inhibition of this enzyme. Compound 4l showed IC

    Abstract By the end of 2019, a novel strain of the corona viral family named SARS-CoV-2 emerged in Wuhan, China and started to spread worldwide causing one of the most dangerous lethal pandemics. Researchers utilized various reported inhibitors and drug databases for virtual screening analysis against this novel strain. Later on, they succeeded to fish and repurpose remdesivir, an antiviral nucleotide analogue that inhibits RNA polymerase of the Ebola virus, as a promising candidate against SARS-CoV-2. In this study, we used the interactions of the co-crystallized metabolite of remdesivir with SARS-CoV-2 RdRp isozyme (PDB 7BV2) to design an analog with potential extra activity. This design was based on a scaffold replacement of a pyrrolotriazine moiety. This design was guided by a generated structure-based pharmacophore. The database generated from scaffold replacement was subjected to molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations within the active site of SARS-CoV-2 RdRp (PDB 7BV2) to suggest HA-130383 and HA-130384 as potential lead compounds.

    Abstract The current global pandemic outbreak of COVID-19, caused by the SARS-CoV-2, strikes an invincible damage to both daily life and the global economy. WHO guidelines for COVID-19 clinical management includes infection control and prevention, social distancing and supportive care using supplemental oxygen and mechanical ventilator support. Currently, evolving researches and clinical reports regarding infected patients with SARS-CoV-2 suggest a potential list of repurposed drugs that may produce appropriate pharmacological therapeutic efficacies in treating COVID-19 infected patients. In this study, we performed virtual screening and evaluated the obtained results of US-FDA approved small molecular database library (302 drug molecule) against two important different protein targets in COVID-19. Best compounds in molecular docking were used as a training set for generation of two different pharmacophores. The obtained pharmacophores were employed for virtual screening of ChEMBL database. The filtered compounds were clustered using Finger print model to obtain two compounds that will be subjected to molecular docking simulations against the two targets. Compounds complexes with SARS-CoV-2 main protease and S-protein were studied using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. MD simulation studies suggest the potential inhibitory activity of ChEMBL398869 against SARS-CoV-2 main protease and restress the importance of Gln189 flexibility in inhibitors recognition through increasing S2 subsite plasticity.

    Abstract Current treatments for Parkinson's Disease (PD) only provide symptomatic relief; however, they don't delay the disease progression, hence new treatment options should be considered. Carvedilol is a nonselective β & α1 blocker with additional effects as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and neuro protective properties. In this research, an insilico study was conducted to primarily evaluate carvedilol as an anti-parkinsonian and anti-tau protein target. PASS prediction was performed followed by a docking study of carvedilol. Carvedilol yielded promising results and forward guided this study onto its in vivo evaluation. The in vivo study aimed to assess the neuro-protective effects of carvedilol in rotenone-induced rat model of PD and investigate the potential underlying mechanisms. The effects of carvedilol (2.5, 5, and 10 mg/kg) on the measured parameters of open field, catalepsy, Y-maze tests as well as brain histology, and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) were evaluated. The effective doses (5 and 10 mg/kg) were further tested for their potential anti-tau protein effects. Carvedilol (5 and 10 mg/kg) prevented rotenone-induced motor deficits, spatial memory dysfunction, and histological damage. Additionally, carvedilol significantly inhibited rotenone-induced decrease in TH expression in the striata of the rats. These effects were associated with reduction of rotenone-induced neuro-inflammation, microglial activation and release of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), along with reduction in N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors activation, alpha-synculein and phospho-Tau (P-Tau) protein expression. Carvedilol also reduced tau protein hyper-phosphosrylation by Glycogen synthase 3β (GSK 3β) inhibition and Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) stimulation. Collectively, these results suggest that carvedilol might be a possible candidate for management of PD.

    Abstract Background: SARS-COVID-2 has recently been one of the most life-threatening problems which urgently needs new therapeutic antiviral agents, especially those of herbal origin.
    Purpose: The study aimed to load acaciin (ACA) into the new self-assembled nanofibers (NFs) followed by investigating their possible antiviral effect against bovine coronavirus (BCV) as a surrogate model for SARS-COV-2.
    Methods: ACA was identified using
    Results: Core/shell NFs, ranging between 80-330 nm with tiny thorn-like branches, were formed which attained an enhanced encapsulation efficiency (97.5 ± 0.53%, P<0.05) and a dual controlled release (a burst release of 65% at 1 h and a sustained release up to >24 h). The antiviral investigation of the formed NFs revealed a significant inhibition of 98.88 ± 0.16% (P<0.05) with IC
    Conclusion: The results introduced a new, time/cost-saving strategy for the synthesis of biodegradable NFs without the need for electric current or hazardous cross-linking agents. Moreover, it provided an innovative avenue for the discovery of drugs of herbal origin for the fight against SARS-CoV-2 infection.
