A series of 1-(1'-hydroxyalkyl)rupestonic acid methyl esters were synthesized via the condensation of methyl rupestonate with various aldehydes in the presence of LDA. This mixed aldol reaction was highly stereoselective and all the new compounds wer...
Inhibition of the neuraminidase is one of the most promising strategies for preventing influenza virus spreading. 479 neuraminidase inhibitors are collected for dataset 1 and 208 neuraminidase inhibitors for A/P/8/34 are collected for dataset 2. Usin...
Resistance to antiretroviral drugs has been a major obstacle for long-lasting treatment of HIV-infected patients. The development of models to predict drug resistance is recognized as useful for helping the decision of the best therapy for each HIV+ ...
Arctigenin (ACT) is a phenylpropanoid dibenzylbutyrolactone lignan extracted from the traditional herb Arctium lappa L. (Compositae) with anti-viral and anti-inflammatory effects. Here, we investigated the antiviral activity of ACT found in tradition...
Conflicting results from randomized trials regarding the efficacy of remdesivir for COVID-19 have been reported. We aimed to develop a neural network (NN) to identify COVID-19 patients who would derive the greatest survival benefit from remdesivir. T...
BACKGROUND: Over the years, viruses have caused human illness and threatened human health. Therefore, it is pressing to develop anti-coronavirus infection drugs with clear function, low cost, and high safety. Anti-coronavirus peptide (ACVP) is a key ...
