In this study, researchers tested the effectiveness of two herbal-based formulations, a pleiotropic herbal drink and a nasal drop, in preventing SARS-CoV2 infection. The formulations were tested on bronchial and colorectal cell lines as well as SKH-1 mouse models, including those with comorbidities such as diabetes. The results showed that a combination of the two formulations resulted in a rapid reduction in viral entry and reduced the viral load by 97-99% in infected mice within three days of treatment. Additionally, the combination also inhibited viral transmission among cage mates. The study suggests that this combined administration could potentially prevent SARS-CoV2 infection.
The study investigated the effectiveness of zonisamide and Nigella sativa (NS) separately and together as a potential treatment for traumatic brain injury (TBI) using fruit flies as a model. The flies were pre-treated with the substances before TBI was induced, and mortality rate and locomotor activity were observed. Both substances improved survival rates and locomotor activity, elevated levels of certain neurotransmitters, and reduced glutamate levels. Co-administration of both substances showed even greater neuroprotective potential. This study suggests that zonisamide and NS could be a promising therapeutic medicine for the treatment of TBI.
