Biodiversity-Driven Natural Products and Bioactive Metabolites

mycolabadmin

This comprehensive review explores how diverse organisms like plants, fungi, and marine creatures produce remarkable chemical compounds for survival and defense. These natural products have inspired many modern medicines, but scientists now understand that the chemical diversity comes not just from the organisms themselves but from their ecological interactions and environmental challenges. By studying how these chemicals are made and what triggers their production, researchers can discover new drugs and medicines while protecting the ecosystems that generate them.

Quest for Anti-SARS-CoV-2 antiviral therapeutics: in-silico and in-vitro analysis of edible mushroom- Cordyceps militaris

mycolabadmin

Researchers tested an edible mushroom called Cordyceps militaris to see if it could fight SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Using computer modeling and laboratory experiments, they found that a compound in the mushroom called cordycepin strongly attached to the virus’s spike protein and reduced viral numbers by about 50% in cell cultures. The study supports traditional uses of this mushroom and suggests it could be helpful in managing COVID-19 as the disease becomes endemic.
