Silver nanoparticles as potential antiviral agents.
Virus infections pose significant global health challenges, especially in view of the fact that the emergence of resistant viral strains and the adverse side effects associated with prolonged use continue to slow down the application of effective antiviral therapies. This makes imperative the need for the development of safe and potent alternatives to conventional antiviral drugs. In the presen...

متن کاملAntiviral Activity of 4′-thioIDU and Thymidine Analogs against Orthopoxviruses
The search for effective therapies for orthopoxvirus infections has identified diverse classes of molecules with antiviral activity. Pyrimidine analogs, such as 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine (idoxuridine, IDU) were among the first compounds identified with antiviral activity against a number of orthopoxviruses and have been reported to be active both in vitro and in animal models of infection. More re...
متن کاملNovel ceramide analogs as potential chemotherapeutic agents in breast cancer.
Recent evidence suggests a role for aberrant ceramide levels in the pathogenesis of cancer and chemoresistance and indicates that manipulation of tumor ceramide levels may be a useful strategy in the fight against breast cancer. This study demonstrates that alterations in the degree and position of unsaturation of bonds in the sphingoid backbone of d-erythro-N-octanoyl-sphingosine (Cer) affect ...
متن کاملThiadiazole Analogs as Potential Pharmacological Agents: a Brief Review
Recently, heterocyclic compounds analogues and their derivatives have attracted strong interest in medicinal chemistry due to their biological and pharmacological properties. The small and simple thiadiazole nucleus possesses numerous biological properties like antitumor, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anticonvulsant, and antidiabetic activities. These activities are also possessed by its su...
