Abstract
Viral infections are the most important health concern nowadays to mankind, which is unexpectedly increasing the health complications and fatality rate worldwide. The recent viral infection outbreak developed a pressing need for small molecules that can be quickly deployed for the control/treatment of re-emerging or new emerging viral infections. Numerous viruses, including the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis, influenza, SARS-CoV-1, SARS-CoV-2, and others, are still challenging due to emerging resistance to known drugs. Therefore, there is always a need to search for new antiviral small molecules that can combat viral infection with new modes of action. This review highlighted recent progress in developing new antiviral molecules based on natural product-inspired scaffolds. Herein, the structure-activity relationship of the FDA-approved drugs along with the molecular docking studies of selected compounds have been discussed against several target proteins. The findings of new small molecules as neuraminidase inhibitors, other than known drug scaffolds, Anti-HIV and SARS-CoV are incorporated in this review paper.

Abstract
In the search for new glycosidase inhibitors, a set of benzyl β-D-Gal-S-(1→4)-3-deoxy-4-thio-α-D-hexopyranosides was synthesized. Diverse configurations were installed at C-2 and C-4 of the glucose residue. The benzyl glycosidic group was kept intact or substituted by an electron-donating or electron-withdrawing group that could also participate in hydrogen bonding. All thiodisaccharides were found to be inhibitors of E. coli β-galactosidase. In general, benzyl thiodisaccharides were better inhibitors than those substituted (NO2 or NH2) on the benzyl ring. Thiodisaccharides containing a hexopyranoside, instead of a pentopyranoside, showed a weaker inhibitory activity, except for those having the α-D-xylo configuration, which exhibited inhibition constants of the same order of magnitude. These and previous results indicated that the inhibition process by thiodisaccharides is strongly dependent on the configuration of the 3-deoxy-4-thiopyranoside, as well as its substitution pattern (such as the presence of a benzyl glycoside). The enzyme-inhibitor interaction during the hydrolysis process involves a conformational selection resulting from rotation around the thioglycosidic bond and the flexibility of the terminal six-membered ring. Thus, the mentioned structural features of the inhibitor could give rise to favorable ground state conformations for the interaction with the enzyme, similar to those found for selected thiodisaccharides in the bound state. These studies demonstrated that the performance of thiodisaccharides as enzyme inhibitors could be increased by selecting the appropriate configuration and substitution of the hexopyranoside replacing the glucose moiety of 4-thiolactose.

Abstract
The first photoinduced synthesis of polyfunctionalized 3-aza[n.1.0]bicycles from readily available ene-ynamides and 2,6-lutidine N-oxide using an organic acridinium photocatalyst is reported. Applying a photocatalytic strategy to the reactive distonic cation vinyl radical intermediate from ynamide, a series of bio-valuable 3-azabicycles, including diverse 3-azabicyclio[4.1.0]heptanes and 3-azabicyclo[5.1.0]octanes that are challenging to accomplish using traditional methods, have been successfully synthesized in good to high yields under mild and metal-free conditions. Mechanistic studies are consistent with the photocatalyzed single-electron oxidation of ene-ynamide and the intermediacy of a putative cationic vinyl radical in this transformation. Importantly, this strategy provides new access to the development of photocatalytic vinyl radical cascades for the synthesis of structurally sophisticated substrates.

Abstract
Cyclopropanated iminosugars have a locked conformation that may enhance the inhibitory activity and selectivity against different glycosidases. We show the synthesis of new cyclopropane-containing piperidines bearing five stereogenic centers from natural amino acids l-serine and l-alanine. Those prepared from the latter amino acid may mimic l-fucose, a natural-occurring monosaccharide involved in many molecular recognition events. Final compounds prepared from l-serine bear S configurations on the C5 position. The synthesis involved a stereoselective cyclopropanation reaction of an α,β-unsaturated piperidone, which was prepared through a ring-closing metathesis. The final compounds were tested as possible inhibitors of different glycosidases. The results, although, in general, with low inhibition activity, showed selectivity, depending on the compound and enzyme, and in some cases, an unexpected activity enhancement was observed.
