The complex link between COVID-19 and immunometabolic diseases demonstrates the important interaction between metabolic dysfunction and immunological response during viral infections. Severe COVID-19, defined by a hyperinflammatory state, is greatly impacted by underlying chronic illnesses aggravating the cytokine storm caused by increased levels of Pro-inflammatory cytokines. Metabolic reprogramming, including increased glycolysis and altered mitochondrial function, promotes viral replication and stimulates inflammatory cytokine production, contributing to illness severity.

To find an effective inhibitor for SARS-CoV-2, Quercetin's chemical structure was compared to nine ligands associated with nine key SARS-CoV-2 proteins. It was found that Quercetin closely resembles Remdesivir, the co-crystallized ligand of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp). This similarity was confirmed through flexible alignment experiments and molecular docking studies, which showed that both Quercetin and Remdesivir bind similarly to the active site of RdRp.

Introduction: Dental caries, caused by oral microbial pathogens, are a global health concern, further exacerbated by the presence of methicillin-resistant (MRSA). Bioactive proteins and peptides (BAPs) exhibit potent antimicrobial properties, targeting multiple cellular mechanisms within pathogens, reducing the likelihood of resistance development. Given the antimicrobial potential of BAPs, this study aimed to compare the efficacy of BAPs extracted from cultivated (, PoC) and wild (, PoW) mushrooms against pathogens responsible for dental caries.

This study aims to repurpose sericin in combating non-small lung cancer cells (A549 and H460) by combining it with dactolisib or vitamin D to reduce the dose of dactolisib and boost the anticancer effectiveness of dactolisib and vitamin D. Therefore, the binding affinities of individual and combined drugs were examined using in silico and protein-protein interaction studies, targeting NF-κB, Cyclin D1, p-AKT, and VEGF1 proteins. The findings manifested remarkable affinities for combinatorial drugs compared to individual compounds.

Background: Recent discoveries have illustrated that Lin28A is an oncogene in various cancers, particularly acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The upregulation of Lin28A can actively contribute to tumorigenesis and migration processes in multiple organs. Hence, the inhibition of Lin28A can be achieved by applying phytochemical herbals and targeting Lin28A protein using a computer-aided drug design (CAAD) approach.
