PPARγ full agonists, thiazolidinediones (TZDs), have been known as a class of most effective drugs for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, recently their therapeutic benefits have been compromised by several undesirable side effects. In this study, a host-based repurposing strategy and in combination with comprehensive biological evaluations were synergistically employed to seek for potent PPARγ ligands, which led to the identification of an anti-thrombotic drug, dicoumarol (Dic), as the novel and safer selectively PPARγ modulator (SPPARγM) with advantages over current TZD drugs.

The new SARS-CoV-2, responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, has been threatening public health worldwide for more than a year. The aim of this work was to evaluate compounds of natural origin, mainly from medicinal plants, as potential SARS-CoV-2 inhibitors through docking studies. The viral spike (S) glycoprotein and the main protease M, involved in the recognition of virus by host cells and in viral replication, respectively, were the main molecular targets in this study.
