Revisiting the South Indian Traditional Plants against Several Targets of SARS-CoV-2 - An Approach.

Background: The south Indian Telugu states will celebrate a new year called 'Ugadi' which is a south Indian traditional festival. The ingredients used in ugadi pachadi have often also been used in food as well as traditional Ayurveda and Siddha medicinal preparations. Coronaviruses (CoVs) are a diverse family of enveloped positive-sense single-stranded RNA viruses which can infect humans and have the potential to cause large-scale outbreaks.

Synthesis and Hypoglycemic and Anti-inflammatory Activity Screening of Novel Substituted 5-[Morpholino(Phenyl)Methyl]-Thiazolidine-2,4-Diones and Their Molecular Docking Studies.

Objectives: The aim was the synthesis of novel substituted 5-[morpholino(phenyl)methyl]-thiazolidine-2,4-diones and screening for their hypoglycemic activity and anti-inflammatory activity, as well as molecular docking studies to find out active potential lead molecules.

Materials And Methods: Substituted aromatic aldehydes, thiazolidine-2,4-dione, and morpholine on Mannich reaction gave the title compounds. They were characterized by physical and spectral methods.
