The Therapeutic and Prophylactic Potential of Quercetin against COVID-19: An Outlook on the Clinical Studies, Inventive Compositions, and Patent Literature.

Quercetin is a phenolic flavonol compound with established antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immuno-stimulant properties. Recent studies demonstrate the potential of quercetin against COVID-19. This article highlighted the prophylactic/therapeutic potential of quercetin against COVID-19 in view of its clinical studies, inventions, and patents.

Discovery of Novel Pyridazine-Based Cyclooxygenase-2 Inhibitors with a Promising Gastric Safety Profile.

Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is implicated in the development of chronic inflammatory diseases. Recently, pyridazine derivatives have emerged as a novel prototype to develop COX-2 inhibitors. Accordingly, some pyridazine-based COX-2 inhibitors are reported herein.

An Insight into the Current Perspective and Potential Drug Targets for Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL).

Leishmaniasis is one of the six entities on the list of most important diseases of the World Health Organization/Tropical Disease Research (WHO/TDR). After Malaria, it is one of the most prevalent and lethal parasitic diseases. VL is the fatal form of this disease, especially if left untreated.

Synthesis of novel N-substitutedphenyl-6-oxo-3-phenylpyridazine derivatives as cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors.

Some novel non-ulcerogenic N-substitutedphenyl-6-oxo-3-phenylpyridazines as COX-2 inhibitors have been developed (Supplementary material Appendix 1). The novel aldehyde 3 was prepared by reacting 6-phenylpyridazin-3(2H)-one with 4-fluorobenzaldehyde. The aldehyde 3 was reacted with different hydrazines and thiazolidin-4-ones to obtain the novel N-substitutedphenyl-6-oxo-3-phenylpyridazine derivatives.
