Chemical constituents from Solanum nigrum and their neuroprotective activities.

The experimenters isolated 10 compounds from a source and determined their structures through various analytical techniques. They then tested the compounds for neuroprotective effects in cells and found that three showed moderate effectiveness. The study highlights potential compounds for future development of neuroprotective treatments.

Extraction and characterization of metabolites from Olea europaea pulp and their molecular docking against SARS-CoV-2 main-protease (M(pro)).

Scientists extracted bioactive compounds from Olea europaea fruit using the Soxhlet-maceration method and analyzed their potential against SARS-CoV-2 using molecular docking. They detected several compounds that showed promising inhibition potential, with squalene being the most effective and comparable to the control drug remdesivir. The compounds were found to be safe and possess excellent pharmacokinetic and toxicity properties. This research highlights the antiviral potential of these metabolites against SARS-CoV-2.
