Enteroviruses (EVs) are major pathogens in young infants. These viruses were traditionally classified into the following four subgenera: polio, coxsackie A and B, and echoviruses. Now that poliomyelitis seems to be controlled in most parts of the world, coxsackie and echoviruses are gaining more attention because (i) the structural and pathophysiological similarities and (ii) the consequent possibilities in translational medicine. Enteroviruses are transmitted mainly by oral and fecal-oral routes; the clinical manifestations include a viral prodrome including fever, feeding intolerance, and lethargy, which may be followed by exanthema; aseptic meningitis and encephalitis; pleurodynia; myopericarditis; and multi-system organ failure. Laboratory diagnosis is largely based on reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction, cell culture, and serology. Prevention and treatment can be achieved using vaccination, and administration of immunoglobulins and antiviral drugs. In this article, we have reviewed the properties of these viruses, their clinical manifestations, and currently available methods of detection, treatment, and prognosis.

Objectives: To investigate the phytochemical composition of Ajwa date extract and evaluate its antiviral activity and mechanism of action.
Methods: High perfomance liquid chromatography, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry were used to analyze the phytochemical profile of Ajwa date extract. The antiviral activity was assessed using the MTT colorimetric assay against herpes simplex virus type I (HSV-I) and coxsackievirus B4 (CVB-4).
Coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor expression facilitates enteroviral infections to drive the development of pancreatic cancer.
Nat Commun

Department of Cancer Biology, Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, FL, 32224, USA.
The development of pancreatic cancer requires both, acquisition of an oncogenic mutation in KRAS as well as an inflammatory insult. However, the physiological causes for pancreatic inflammation are less defined. We show here that oncogenic KRas-expressing pre-neoplastic lesion cells upregulate coxsackievirus (CVB) and adenovirus receptor (CAR).

Article Synopsis
- * The study focused on how CVB3 interacts with macrophage cells, revealing that it activates these immune cells without replicating inside them and that macrophages lack the viral entry receptor needed for infection.
- * Additionally, introducing the receptor in macrophages did not enable viral replication but changed inflammatory responses; the research also identified the autophagy protein LC3 as a key player in activating macrophages.
Antimicrobial activities of Diltiazem Hydrochloride: drug repurposing approach.

Article Synopsis
- * This study focused on the antimicrobial and antiviral properties of Diltiazem HCl, a heart medication, assessing its impact on various pathogenic bacteria, yeasts, and the Coxsackie B4 virus using different lab methods.
- * Results showed significant antimicrobial effects of Diltiazem HCl, especially against Gram-positive bacteria and a 95.1% reduction in biofilm formation, along with potent antiviral activity against the CoxB4 virus, suggesting potential new uses for this drug beyond hypertension.
SAR Analysis of Novel Coxsackie virus A9 Capsid Binders.

Enterovirus infections are common in humans, yet there are no approved antiviral treatments. In this study we concentrated on inhibition of one of the (EV-B), namely Coxsackievirus A9 (CVA9), using a combination of medicinal chemistry, virus inhibition assays, structure determination from cryogenic electron microscopy and molecular modeling, to determine the structure activity relationships for a promising class of novel -phenylbenzylamines. Of the new 29 compounds synthesized, 10 had half maximal effective concentration (EC) values between 0.
