Enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) is one of the main causative agents of hand, foot and mouth disease which seriously threatens young children's health and lives. However, there is no effective therapy currently available for treating these infections. Therefore, effective drugs to prevent and treat EV-A71 infections are urgently needed. Here, we identified Mulberroside C potently against the proliferation of EV-A71. The in-vitro anti-EV-A71 activity of Mulberroside C was assessed by cytopathic effect inhibition and viral plaque reduction assays, and the results showed that Mulberroside C significantly inhibited EV-A71 infection. The downstream assays affirmed that Mulberroside C inhibited viral protein and RNA synthesis. Furthermore, Mulberroside C effectively reduced clinical symptoms in EV-A71 infected mice and reduced mortality at higher concentrations. The mechanism study indicated that Mulberroside C bound to the hydrophobic pocket of viral capsid protein VP1, thereby preventing viral uncoating and genome release. Taken together, our study indicated that Mulberroside C could be a promising EV-A71 inhibitor and worth extensive preclinical investigation as a lead compound.

Objective: This study investigated whether Mulberryside A (MBA) can attenuate cigarette smoke extract (CSE)-induced autophagy through a Sirt1-dependent pathway, thereby attenuating atherosclerosis in ApoE-/- mice.
Methods: After treating human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) with CSE and MBA, an MTT assay was performed to detect cell activity. Immunofluorescence and Western blotting were used to determine the expressions of autophagy-related proteins, Sirt1 and HIF-1α.

Background: Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is a common spine disease with inflammation as its main pathogenesis. Mulberroside A (MA), isolated from herbal medicine, possesses anti-inflammatory characteristics in many diseases. Whereas, there is little exploration of the therapeutic potential of MA on IVDD.

Article Synopsis
- Xiebai San (XBS) is a traditional Chinese medicine used for treating pneumonia-related diseases, but its specific anti-pneumonia properties and mechanisms have not been fully understood until now.* -
- The study aimed to investigate the active components and mechanisms of XBS using various methods in zebrafish and RAW264.7 cells, including chemical analysis and molecular docking to identify key targets and anti-inflammatory effects.* -
- Results showed that XBS effectively reduced inflammation by decreasing neutrophil aggregation and nitric oxide release, while also suppressing inflammatory cytokines involved in key signaling pathways, indicating its potential as an effective treatment for pneumonia.*
