This research examines naturally occurring azo compounds – rare chemical substances found in fungi, plants, bacteria and marine life – and their potential use as medicines. These compounds show promising abilities to fight cancer, infections and other diseases. The study used computer modeling to predict additional medical uses for these substances that haven’t yet been tested. Impacts on everyday life: – Could lead to new cancer treatments with fewer side effects – May provide new antibiotics to fight resistant bacterial infections – Could result in new antiviral medications for treating various viral diseases – Might yield new treatments for fungal infections – Could help develop more effective drugs derived from natural sources
