A naturally derived library of glycomimetic mimicking the structure-function of heparan sulfate (HS) remains an untapped reservoir for drug discovery against viral infections. In this work we screened a library of marine-derived sulfated glycans from seaweeds and sea cucumbers to investigate if they can compete for the ligand/receptor binding sites to prevent virus entry. Multiple promising candidates were identified, such as RPI-27 (IC: 1.

Previously undescribed steroids vernomigeodiins A-D (1-4), were isolated from the African medicinal plant Vernoniastrum migeodii along with known sterols 5-10 and the tripeptide aurantiamide acetate (11). The isolated steroids featured a stigmastane skeleton with a unique conjugated Δ-diene segment and a highly oxidized side chain, occasionally forming a bi- or tricyclic ring system. Sterols 1-3, 5-9 are glucosylated, whereas 4 and 10 are aglycons.

The poultry industry is a major global source of animal protein but remains vulnerable to immunosuppressive viral infections that compromise bird health and productivity. This study evaluated five viral purification methods for metagenomic analysis of respiratory samples from broiler chickens in Santa Catarina, Brazil. Tracheal swabs from ten flocks (one per farm) were pooled, and 50 µL of a herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) and murine norovirus (MNV-1) mix was added as an internal positive control.

Influenza A viruses (IAVs) constitute a major threat to human and animal health. Currently, M2 ion-channel inhibitors, neuraminidase (NA) inhibitors, RNA polymerase inhibitors, and cap-dependent endonuclease inhibitors have been applied clinically as therapeutics against IAVs. However, IAVs possess adaptive mutations to these inhibitors, especially M2 ion channel and NA inhibitors.
