The severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV) 3C-like protease (3CL(pro) or M(pro)) is an attractive target for the development of anti-SARS drugs because of its crucial role in the viral life cycle. In this study, a compound database was screened by the structure-based virtual screening approach to identify initial hits as inhibitors of SARS-CoV 3CL(pro). Out of the 59,363 compounds docked, 93 were selected for the inhibition assay, and 21 showed inhibition against SARS-CoV 3CL(pro) (IC(50)

Alzheimer's disease is one of the most complex neurological disorders and millions of people are suffering from this disease all over the world. In the past two decades acetylcholinesterase (AChE) has been the most explored pathological hallmark. The generation of potent AChE inhibitors has grown as a rapid pathological tool for the efficacious treatment of the disease.

Unlabelled: Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects persons aged 65 and older. It leads to a decline in motor function as a result of the buildup of abnormal protein deposits called Lewy bodies in the brain. Existing therapies exhibit restricted effectiveness and undesirable side effects.

Background: Poliovirus receptor (PVR) and its receptor system, including TIGIT, CD226, and CD96, play a pivotal role in orchestrating tumor immune evasion. Upon engagement with PVR on tumor cells, CD96 exerts inhibitory effects on the function of T cells and NK cells, thereby fostering tumor immune evasion. Therefore, screening of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) targeting the CD96/PVR pathway will provide promising candidates for tumor immunotherapy.

Objectives: In advanced stages of osteoradionecrosis, medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw, and osteomyelitis, a resection of sections of the mandible may be unavoidable. The determination of adequate bony resection margins is a fundamental problem because bony resection margins cannot be secured intraoperatively. Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT-CT) is more accurate than conventional imaging techniques in detecting inflammatory jaw pathologies.
