Summary: In the past two years, various drugs have been identified as potential inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 in laboratory studies. Among them, drugs known as functional inhibitors of acid sphingomyelinase (FIASMAs) have been shown to effectively inhibit the replication of SARS-CoV-2 in different types of cells. These drugs have similar chemical structures, with examples including fluoxetine, escitalopram, and fluvoxamine. They are already used as therapeutic agents for other diseases and can be considered as candidates for drug repositioning. This review summarizes two proposed mechanisms by which FIASMAs inhibit the replication of SARS-CoV-2 by targeting acid sphingomyelinase (ASM).

Summary: Plasma protein binding plays a crucial role in the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of therapeutic bioactive materials. In this study, the interaction of nordentatin, a member of coumarins, with human alpha-1 acid glycoprotein (AGP) was investigated, and the anticancer potency of nordentatin against human colorectal cancer cells was evaluated. The results showed that nordentatin binds to AGP through a static quenching mechanism and exhibits inhibitory effects on the growth of HCT-116 cells by increasing intracellular ROS and [Ca2+] levels and triggering apoptosis-related gene overexpression. Therefore, nordentatin could be a promising plant-based therapy for colorectal cancer.
