Anti-Inflammatory and anti-vascular leakage effects by combination of Centella asiatica and Vitis vinifera L. (Grapevine) leaf extracts. #antiinflammatory qualities #anti#vascular#leakage effect
the combination of CE and VVE showed significant anti-inflammatory qualities and anti-vascular leakage effects. These findings indicate that an optimal combination of CE and VVE may have a more synergistic effect than that of CE or VVE alone as .. 4/n
a putative agent against vascular incompetence.
Centella asiatica (L.) Urban is an important herbal medicine that has been widely used for many years in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
Asiaticoside in CE leads to an increase in antioxidant levels, and .. 5/n
it participates in the wound healing process. CE has displayed a protective effect on the vascular endothelium and is characterized by antiplatelet activity, which can reduce the negative effects of venous stasis. It also reduces excessive permeability in blood vessels.

Traditional use of dried grapes was described for the treatment of cardiovascular conditions such as capillary bleeding, edema, and inflammation.
It was recently discovered that V. vinifera L. leaves contain a variety of phytoconstituents harboring high antioxidant 7/n
activity including condensed tannins, phenols, and anthocyanins. The leaves of this plant have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and vasorelaxant biological activities. 8/8

Challenges : enzyme inhibition was only achieved in the absence of physiologically relevant reducing agents, and the reported antiviral effect in cells infected with SARS-CoV-2 could not be reproduced and was therefore suspected to be an indirect consequence of cell death.
Additional challenges in assessing 3CLpro inhibition potency in infected cells arose from the role of host proteases in virus entry. SARSCoV-2 uses human ACE2 as its entry receptor and human proteases as entry activators including cell surface transmembrane protease/serine
New Pfizer antiviral and ivermectin, a pharmacodynamic analysis. Paxlovid (PF-07321332), C₂₃H₃₂F₃N₅O₄
Paxlovid is designed to block the activity of the SARS-CoV-2-3CL protease, an enzyme that the coronavirus needs to replicate. Co-administration with a low dose of
ritonavir helps slow the metabolism, or breakdown, of Paxlovid in order for it to remain active in the body for longer periods of time at higher concentrations to help combat the virus. Paxlovid inhibits viral replication at a stage known as proteolysis, which occurs before

such as His41 and Cys145 through hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions. In fact, the binding affinity of Rutin was much higher than Chloroquine (1000 times) and Hydroxychloroquine (100 times) and was comparable to that of the reference drug Remdesivir. 2/n
The results suggest that natural compounds such as flavonoids have the potential to be developed as novel inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2. 3/n
