Baicalin attenuates chronic unpredictable mild stress-induced hippocampal neuronal apoptosis through regulating SIRT1/PARP1 signaling pathway.

Summary

Baicalin, a compound found in Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, has been reported to have antidepressant effects. In this study, the researchers investigated how it works by exploring the role of the PARP1 signaling pathway in depression. They found that administration of baicalin alleviated depressive-like behaviors induced by chronic stress in mice by reducing neuronal damage in the hippocampus and increasing anti-apoptotic proteins while decreasing pro-apoptotic proteins. They also found that baicalin works by regulating the SIRT1/PARP1 signaling pathway. These findings suggest that baicalin may be a potential therapeutic option for depression.

Scutellaria baicalensis extract and baicalein inhibit replication of SARS-CoV-2 and its 3C-like protease in vitro.

Summary

Researchers investigated the effectiveness of using an herb extract and its component, baicalein, to inhibit the 3C protease of SARS-CoV-2, a preferred target for anti-coronavirus drug development. The ethanol extract and baicalein displayed anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity and inhibited viral replication in Vero cells. The herb extract also inhibited viral entry. Four baicalein analogues from other herbs were identified to also inhibit SARS-CoV-2 3CL activity. The study suggests that the herb extract and baicalein have the potential to be developed as broad-spectrum anti-coronavirus drugs.

Natural products for COVID-19 prevention and treatment regarding to previous coronavirus infections and novel studies.

Summary

A review article suggests that natural products like plants and herbs could be used as potential treatments for COVID-19 based on their antiviral activities against other coronaviruses. The authors searched through multiple scientific databases and found that certain plants and herbs, such as Allium sativum, Zingiber officinale, and Glycyrrhiza glabra, have been shown to improve immune response and inhibit viral replication. The study also identified specific compounds, such as terpenoids and alkaloids, with promising effects against coronavirus targets like the S protein and viral enzymes. Overall, the article suggests that natural products could be used as preventive and therapeutic agents in the fight against COVID-19.
