Chromatographic separation of the EtOAc fraction from the leaf and stem of Vitis amurensis led to the isolation of six oligostilbenoids (i.e., r-2-viniferin (1), trans-amurensin B (2), trans-epsilon-viniferin (3), gnetin H (4), amurensin G (5), (+)-ampelopsin A (8)) and four stilbenoids (i.e., trans-resveratrol (6), (+)-ampelopsin F (7), piceatannol (9), and trans-piceid (10)). The structures have been identified on the basis of spectroscopic evidence and physicochemical properties. The isolates were investigated for cytotoxic activity against three cancer cell lines in vitro using the MTT assay method. Amurensin G (5) and trans-resveratrol (6) showed significant cytotoxic activity against L1210, K562 and HTC116 cancer cell lines with IC(50) values ranging from 15.7 +/- 2.1 to 30.9 +/- 1.8 microM. (+)-Ampelopsin A (8) and trans-piceid (10) exhibited considerable cytotoxic activity against L1210 (IC(50) values of 30.6 +/- 4.1 and 28.7 +/- 2.81 microM, respectively) and K562 (IC(50) values of 38.6 +/- 0.82 and 24.6 +/- 0.76 microM, respectively). Gnetin H (4) showed only weak cytotoxic activity against L1210 with an IC(50) value of 40.1 +/- 4.23 microM. On the other hand, r-2-viniverin (1), trans-amurensin B (2), trans-epsilon-viniferin (3), (+)-ampelopsin F (7), and piceatannol (9) exhibited no activity on three cancer cell lines.

Antimicrobial drug resistance is a significant global health challenge, causing hundreds of thousands of deaths annually and severely impacting healthcare systems worldwide. Several reported antimicrobial compounds have a guanidine motif, as the positive charge on guanidine promotes cell lysis. Therefore, pyrrole- and indole-based allylidene hydrazine carboximidamide derivatives with guanidine motifs are proposed as antimicrobial agents that mimic cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs).

A novel 2'-α-fluoro-2'-β--(fluoromethyl) purine nucleoside phosphoramidate prodrug has been designed and synthesized to treat SARS-CoV-2 infection. The SARS-CoV-2 central replication transcription complex (C-RTC, nsp12-nsp7-nsp8) catalyzed in vitro RNA synthesis was effectively inhibited by the corresponding bioactive nucleoside triphosphate (). The cryo-electron microscopy structure of the C-RTC: complex was also determined.

Background: Melanoma is a highly lethal form of skin cancer, and effective treatment remains a significant challenge. SPP86 is a novel potential therapeutic drug. Nonetheless, the specific influence of SPP86 on autophagy, particularly its mechanisms in the context of DNA damage and apoptosis in human melanoma cells, remains inadequately understood.
