Non-volatile acylphloroglucinol components from Eucalyptus robusta inhibit Zika virus by impairing RdRp activity of NS5

Zhai-Wen Yao et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the ability of non-volatile acylphloroglucinols from Eucalyptus leaves to inhibit ZIKV, and found a new symmetrical acylphloroglucinol dimer with significant inhibitory effects. This compound, eucalyprobusone G, showed better efficacy against ZIKV compared to the reference compound ribavirin without inducing cytotoxicity. Further research indicated that eucalyprobusone G impairs viral binding and RdRp activity of NS5, suggesting it could be developed as an anti-ZIKV agent.

Development and characterization of mouse monoclonal antibodies targeting to distinct epitopes of Zika virus envelope protein for specific detection of Zika virus

Chia-Jung Li et al.

Summary: The study developed four Zika virus envelope protein-specific monoclonal antibodies, with mAb 9E-1 showing the strongest affinity to ZIKV E protein. However, mAbs A1, C1, and 9E-1 do not cross-react with dengue virus, and mAbs B1 and 9E-1 have been developed for specific detection of ZIKV E protein and virions.

Flavonoids as Molecules With Anti-Zika virus Activity

Allan Henrique Depieri Cataneo et al.

Summary: Zika virus is mainly transmitted to humans by Aedes mosquitoes and can lead to serious consequences such as birth defects, microcephaly, and Guillain-Barre syndrome. Despite efforts, there are currently no effective vaccines or drugs to control Zika virus infection. Flavonoids, natural compounds with antiviral properties, are being explored as potential anti-Zika molecules for further research and clinical trials.
