Mechanistic Insights into the Neuroprotective Potential of Sacred Ficus Trees.

The Bo tree and Indian banyan are valued for their spiritual and therapeutic properties. While various parts of these trees have been studied for their diverse medicinal properties, comprehensive reviews of their neuroprotective potential are lacking. This review highlights key phytochemicals, such as flavonoids and terpenes, from these trees that have potent neuroprotective effects. With neurodegenerative disorders having complex pathophysiology, bioactive compounds with diverse pharmacological effects offer potential for developing treatments. Such compounds could lead to pharmacophores for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders.

Plant lectins as versatile tools to fight coronavirus outbreaks.

Plant lectins could be used to combat COVID-19 pandemics by masking the non-glycosylated receptor binding domain of the virus and the corresponding region of the receptor. The ability of plant lectins to interact with the N- and O-glycans present on the spike proteins and their receptors have been analyzed, as well as the in vitro and in vivo anti-COVID-19 activity reported for them. Possible ways for delivery of lectins to block the spikes and/or their receptors are also discussed.
