Cheminformatics and systems pharmacology approaches to unveil the potential plant bioactives to combat COVID-19.

Scientists used systems pharmacology and cheminformatics to identify 13 bioactive compounds from plants that have potential to counteract COVID-19. These compounds target specific genes related to the virus and showed better efficacy than current drugs. This study supports the use of natural products in developing new treatments for the disease.

Herbal melanin modulates PGE2 and IL-6 gastroprotective markers through COX-2 and TLR4 signaling in the gastric cancer cell line AGS.

The study found that a herbal melanin derived from Nigella sativa upregulated the TLR4 receptor, increased COX-2 expression, and promoted the secretion of PGE2 and IL-6 in AGS cells. This suggests that the melanin may have gastroprotective effects and potential benefits for gastric prevention and treatment.
