() is a perennial herb of leguminosae, which increasingly being grown as a forage in China. In our search for original bioactive metabolites from plants, the phytochemical reinvestigation of the was carried out, which led to the isolation of three new (-) and six known (-) chromones. Their structures were confirmed by spectroscopic methods, including extensive 1D and 2D NMR techniques. Compounds - were evaluated for their anti-rotavirus activities, and the results revealed that compounds - exhibited potential anti-rotavirus activities with therapeutic index (TI) valves in the range of 12.0 ∼ 20.2, respectively.

Article Synopsis
  • Group A rotaviruses are the main cause of stomach sickness (gastroenteritis) in kids under five, leading to serious diarrhea that can sometimes cause death from dehydration.
  • There are no specific medicines to treat these infections, so scientists are looking for new ways to fight the virus.
  • The study found that copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) can kill rotaviruses at certain strength levels, but we still don’t know exactly how they work to stop the virus from spreading.

Rotavirus (RV) is the main pathogen that causes severe diarrhea in infants and children under 5 years of age. No specific antiviral therapies or licensed anti-rotavirus drugs are available. It is crucial to develop effective and low-toxicity anti-rotavirus small-molecule drugs that act on novel host targets.

Human norovirus (HuNoV) and human rotavirus (HRV) are the leading causes of gastrointestinal diarrhea. There are no approved antivirals and rotavirus vaccines are insufficient to cease HRV associated mortality. Furthermore, treatment of chronically infected immunocompromised patients is limited to off-label compassionate use of repurposed antivirals with limited efficacy, highlighting the urgent need of potent and specific antivirals for HuNoV and HRV.

Acute diarrheal disease (ADD) caused by rotavirus (RV) contributes significantly to morbidity and mortality in children under five years of age. Currently, there are no specific drugs for the treatment of RV infections. Previously, we reported the anti-rotaviral activity of the protein metabolites derived from .
