We have purified a cell regulatory sialoglycopeptide, CeReS-18, from intact bovine cerebral cortex cells. This is an 18-kDa molecule that reversibly inhibits cellular DNA synthesis and the proliferation of a wide array of target cells. In the present study, the effect of CeReS-18 on mouse 3T6 host cell proliferation and polyomavirus replication was investigated. The results showed that CeReS-18 was able to inhibit 3T6 cell cycling in a concentration-dependent, calcium-sensitive, and reversible manner. Despite the inhibition of cell proliferation, CeReS-18 did not influence polyomavirus infection of 3T6 cells. Indirect immunofluorescent assays revealed that CeReS-18-treated, and cell cycle-arrested, 3T6 cells remained permissive to polyomavirus replication. Electron microscopy and immunogold labeling showed that new viral particles were assembled inside the nuclei of infected cells in the presence of CeReS-18 and during cell cycle arrest. The cellular requirements for the replication of polyomavirus DNA and the synthesis of viral proteins, as well as for the assembly of viral particles, therefore, remained available in CeReS-18-inhibited 3T6 cells. In addition, although polyomavirus infection can be mitogenic, infection of CeReS-18-treated 3T6 cells did not reverse the cell cycle arrest mediated by this cell cycle inhibitor.

Herein, we performed a simple virus capture and photoinactivation procedure using visible light on phosphatidylcholine vesicles. l-α-Phosphatidylcholine vesicles were enriched by viral receptors, GT1b gangliosides, and the nonpolar photosensitizer 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin. These vesicles absorb in the blue region of visible light with a high quantum yield of antiviral singlet oxygen, O (Δ).

In this study, N, N '-bis {4- [(α-L- rhamnosyloxy) benzyl]} thiourea (PG-1), a phenolic glycoside compound was purified from Moringa seed. The PG-1 has attracted extensive attention due to its anti-cancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and hypoglycemic properties. However, some of its physicochemical properties such as oral bioavailability has not been studied.

Dendrobium officinale Kinura et Migo (DOKM) has a variety of medicinal applications; however, its ability to promote wound healing has not been previously reported. The purpose of this study is to investigate the proliferative phase of the wound-healing effect of DOKM glycoprotein (DOKMG) in rats and to elucidate its mechanism of action in vitro. In the present study, the ointment mixture containing DOKMG was applied to the dorsal skin wounds of the full-thickness skin excision rat model, and the results showed that the wound healing speed was faster in the proliferative phase than vaseline.
