Ebola virus disrupts the inner blood-retinal barrier by induction of vascular endothelial growth factor in pericytes.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2023
Ebola virus (EBOV) causes severe hemorrhagic fever in humans with high mortality. In Ebola virus disease (EVD) survivors, EBOV persistence in the eyes may break through the inner blood-retinal barrier (iBRB), leading to ocular complications and EVD ...

Inhibition of the Clathrin Terminal Domain—Amphiphysin Protein–Protein Interaction. Probing the Pitstop 2 Aromatic Moiety

open access: yesChemMedChem, Volume 20, Issue 16, August 16, 2025.
Pitstop 2 binds to the clathrin terminal domain. This work explores the nature of the benzylidene moiety, R. The synthesis of 56 novel analogues reveals enhanced potency of a multiple analogues, with catechol‐free 2,3‐dihydroxybenzo[b][1,4]dioxone (54) returning a 1.2 μm IC50, ca 10‐fold more active than Pitstop 2. Pitstop 2, (Z)‐N‐(5‐(4‐bromenzylidene)

The Antiviral Activity of Polyphenols

open access: yesMolecular Nutrition &Food Research, Volume 69, Issue 15, August 2025.
Polyphenols demonstrate remarkable antiviral properties by effectively disrupting multiple biochemical processes essential for viral replication. ABSTRACT Polyphenols are secondary metabolites produced by a large variety of plants. These compounds that comprise the class of phenolic acids, stilbenes, lignans, coumarins, flavonoids, and tannins have a ...
