Article Abstract
The human tyrosyl transfer-RNA (tRNA) synthetase (TyrRS), which is well known for its essential aminoacylation function in protein synthesis, has been shown to translocate to the nucleus and protect against DNA damage caused by external stimuli. Small molecules that can fit into the active site pocket of TyrRS are thought to affect the nuclear role. The exploitation of TyrRS inhibitors has attracted attention recently. In this investigation, we adopted a structure-based virtual screening strategy and subsequent structure-activity relationship analysis to discover new TyrRS inhibitors, and identified a potent compound 5,7-dihydroxy-6,8-bis((3-hydroxyphenyl)thio)-2-phenyl-4-chromen-4-one (compound 11, = 8.8 μM). In intact HeLa cells, this compound showed a protective effect against DNA damage. Compound 11 is a good lead compound for the further development of drugs against disorders caused by DNA damage.

The current study examines the anti-dengue and antibacterial potential and in silico drug development of the andrographolide against the pathogens Staphylococcus aureus (1JIJ) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (6MVN) and the dengue viral protein NS5. The phytochemical analysis identified the presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, tannins, phenols, glycosides, and steroids in the Andrographis paniculata methanolic leaf extract. Based on the GC-MS analysis, andrographolide was identified as the primary chemical constituent of the medicinal plant A.

A series of chrysin derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their antibacterial activity against four different bacterial strains. We have synthesized new propyl-substituted and butyl-substituted chrysin-piperazine derivatives, which show marvellous inhibition against and . The free hydroxyl group at the C-5 position of chrysin improved therapeutic efficacy and was a beneficial formulation for chemotherapy.
