Advances in the development of antivirals for rotavirus infection

Lin Jiang et al.

Summary: Rotavirus causes 200,000 deaths per year and poses a significant burden to public health and livestock farming worldwide. Currently, rehydration remains the main strategy for treatment and no specific drugs are available. This review discusses the viral replication cycle and possible therapeutic approaches, highlighting the potential use of Chinese medicine and natural compounds. It provides an important reference for rotavirus prevention and treatment.

Three-Dimensional In Vitro Cell Culture Models for Efficient Drug Discovery: Progress So Far and Future Prospects

Shaimaa M. Badr-Eldin et al.

Summary: Despite the advancements in drug discovery, it remains a tedious and expensive process. 3D cell culture models are considered promising in mimicking in vivo conditions and bridging the gap between 2D cell culture and animal models. However, there are challenges such as maintaining a micro-tissue environment and reproducibility. This review emphasizes different 3D techniques and their potential role in drug repositioning, including perspectives from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Therapeutic Potential of Metformin in COVID-19: Reasoning for Its Protective Role

Samson Mathews Samuel et al.

Summary: Diabetic patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 have more severe disease and higher mortality rates, partly due to endothelial dysfunction and hyperactive inflammatory responses. Comorbidities such as obesity and cardiovascular disease worsen the prognosis, while COVID-19 infections can lead to new-onset diabetes and severe metabolic complications.

The antiviral effect of metformin on zika and dengue virus infection

Carlos Noe Farfan-Morales et al.

Summary: The study showed that Metformin has a broad antiviral spectrum in vitro, with significant effects in inhibiting Dengue virus infection, but limited effects in inhibiting Zika virus infection. Additionally, in animal models, Metformin can prolong the survival time of mice infected with Dengue virus.
