To extend the antiviral properties of 2- and 3-fluoro-3-deazaneplanocins into the evolving 3-deaza-1',6'-isoneplanocin library, 2- (11) and 3-fluoro-1',6'-iso-3-deazaneplanocin A (12) have been explored. The requisite synthesis began with an Ullmann reaction by coupling of a protected cyclopentenyl iodide with either 2-fluoro- or 3-fluoro-3-deazaadenine. Target 12 displayed significant activity towards 5 viruses (μM): H1N1 (EC < 0.36, CC > 357, SI > 1000), hepatitis B virus (EC 1.28, CC > 357, SI > 279), norovirus (EC 0.64, CC > 357, SI > 558), Ebola (EC < 0.1, CC > 100, SI > 1000), and Marburg (EC < 0.1, CC > 100, SI > 1000). On the other hand, while 11 showed limited antiviral effects, its toxicity was significant, precluding any further usefulness.

Nanoparticles (NPs) have emerged as a potent choice for various applications, from drug delivery to agricultural studies, serving as an alternative and promising methodology for future advancements. They have been widely explored in delivery systems, demonstrating immense promise and high efficiency for the delivery of numerous biomolecules such as proteins and anticancer agents, either solely or modified with other compounds to enhance their capabilities. In addition, the utilization of NPs extends to antimicrobial studies, where they are used to develop novel antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral formulations with advanced characteristics.

Four previously undescribed pentacyclic triterpenoid saponins, pannosides F-I (-), were isolated from the halophyte L. (), and their chemical structures were elucidated using 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Comprehensive structural analysis revealed the presence of distinct aglycone and glycosidic moieties, along with complex acylation patterns.

Introduction Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is often associated with mortality and significant morbidity following renal transplantation leading to graft rejection or dysfunction. Primary CMV infection refers to the first detection of the virus in a person who has no prior evidence of CMV exposure before transplantation. CMV has a unique property called latency.
