Broad-spectrum antiviral agents
Development of highly effective, broad-spectrum antiviral agents is the major objective shared by the fields of virology and pharmaceutics. Antiviral drug development has focused on targeting viral entry and replication, as well as modulating cellular defense system. High throughput screening of molecules, genetic engineering of peptides, and functional screening of agents have identified promi...
متن کاملBroad-Spectrum Drugs Against Viral Agents
Development of antivirals has focused primarily on vaccines and on treatments for specific viral agents. Although effective, these approaches may be limited in situations where the etiologic agent is unknown or when the target virus has undergone mutation, recombination or reassortment. Augmentation of the innate immune response may be an effective alternative for disease amelioration. Nonspeci...
متن کاملMucin biopolymers as broad-spectrum antiviral agents.
Mucus is a porous biopolymer matrix that coats all wet epithelia in the human body and serves as the first line of defense against many pathogenic bacteria and viruses. However, under certain conditions viruses are able to penetrate this infection barrier, which compromises the protective function of native mucus. Here, we find that isolated porcine gastric mucin polymers, key structural compon...
متن کاملComparative study of plant extracts as broad-spectrum antibacterial agents
Plants with an established history of medicinal uses were tested against various microorganisms in this study. We compared the antibacterial activity of methanol, ethanol, and water extracts of three plant species, including Origanum syriacum, Thymus vulgaris, and Carica papaya, which commonly grow in open habitats or mountainous areas with well-drained soil. The methanol and ethanol extracts o...
متن کاملMultivalent Dendritic Molecules as Broad Spectrum Bacteria Agglutination Agents
This study reports the first set of synthetic molecules that act as broad spectrum agglutination agents and thus are complementary to the specific targeting of antibodies. The molecules have dendritic architecture and contain multiple copies of zinc(II)-dipicolylamine (ZnDPA) units that have selective affinity for the bacterial cell envelope. A series of molecular structures were evaluated, wit...
