Abstract
Increased global research is focused on the development of novel therapeutics to combat antimicrobial and antiviral resistance. Pistachio nuts represent a good source of protein, fiber, monounsaturated fatty acids, minerals, vitamins, and phytochemicals (carotenoids, phenolic acids, flavonoids and anthocyanins). The phytochemicals found in pistachios are structurally diverse compounds with antimicrobial and antiviral potential, demonstrated as individual compounds, extracts and complexed into nanoparticles. Synergistic effects have also been reported in combination with existing drugs. Here we report an overview of the antimicrobial and antiviral potential of pistachio nuts: studies show that Gram-positive bacterial strains, such as Staphylococcus aureus, are the most susceptible amongst bacteria, whereas antiviral effect has been reported against herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1). Amongst the known pistachio compounds, zeaxanthin has been shown to affect both HSV-1 attachment penetration of human cells and viral DNA synthesis. These data suggest that pistachio extracts and derivatives could be used for the topical treatment of S. aureus skin infections and ocular herpes infections.

Abstract
Recent outbreaks of coronavirus have brought serious challenges to public health around the world, and it is essential to find effective treatments. In this study, the 3C-like proteinase (3CLpro) of SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) has been considered as an important drug target because of its role in viral replication. We initially optimized 251 compounds at the PM7 level of theory for docking with 3CLpro, and then we selected the top 12 compounds for further optimization with the B3LYP-D3/6-311G** method and obtained the top four compounds by further molecular docking. Quantum chemistry calculations were performed to predict molecular properties, such as the electrostatic potential and some CDFT descriptors. We also performed molecular dynamics simulations and free energy calculations to determine the relative stability of the selected four potential compounds. We have identified key residues controlling the 3CLpro/ligand binding from per-residue based decomposition of the binding free energy. Convincingly, the comprehensive results support the conclusion that the compounds have the potential to become a candidate for anti-coronavirus treatment.

Abstract
Anthocyanins are natural products that give color to plants. As natural plant pigments, anthocyanins also have a series of health-promoting benefits. Many researchers have proved that anthocyanins have therapeutic effects on diseases, such as circulatory, nervous, endocrine, digestive, sensory, urinary and immune systems. Additionally, a large number of studies have reported that anthocyanins have an anticancer effect through a wide range of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. The anti-disease impact and mechanism of anthocyanins are diverse, so they have high research value. This review summarizes the research progress of anthocyanins on the pharmacological agents of different diseases to provide references for subsequent research.

Abstract
Background Influenza is an acute respiratory tract infection caused by the influenza virus. Vaccination and antiviral drugs are the two methods opted to control the disease. Besides their efficiency, they also cause adverse side effects. Hence, scientists turned their attention to powerful herbal medicines. This review put focus on various proven, scientifically validated anti-influenza compounds produced by the plants suggested for the production of newer drugs for the better treatment of influenza and its related antiviral diseases too. Main body In this review, fifty medicinal herb phytochemical constituents and their anti-influenza activities have been documented. Specifically, this review brings out the accurate and substantiates mechanisms of action of these constituents. This study categorizes the phytochemical constituents into primary and secondary metabolites which provide a source for synthesizing and developing new drugs. Conclusion This article provides a summary of the actions of the herbal constituents. Since the mechanisms of action of the components are elucidated, the pandemic situation arising due to influenza and similar antiviral diseases can be handled promisingly with greater efficiency. However, clinical trials are in great demand. The formulation of usage may be a single drug compound or multi-herbal combination. These, in turn, open up a new arena for the pharmaceutical industries to develop innovative drugs.

Abstract
Coronavirus epidemic 2019 (COVID-19), caused by novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), is newly increasing worldwide and elevating global health concerns. Similar to SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV, the viral key 3-chymotrypsin-like cysteine protease enzyme (3CLPro), which controls 2019-nCoV duplications and manages its life cycle, could be pointed as a drug discovery target. Herein, we theoretically studied the binding ability of 10 structurally different anthocyanins with the catalytic dyad residues of 3CLpro of 2019-nCoV using molecular docking modelling. The results revealed that the polyacylated anthocyanins, including phacelianin, gentiodelphin, cyanodelphin, and tecophilin, were found to authentically bind with the receptor binding site and catalytic dyad (Cys145 and His41) of 2019-nCoV-3CLpro. Our analyses revealed that the top four hits might serve as potential anti-2019-nCoV leading molecules for further optimization and drug development process to combat COVID-19. This study unleashed that anthocyanins with specific structure could be used as effective anti-COVID-19 natural components. Ten structurally different anthocyanins were computed against protease enzyme of 2019-nCoV. Phacelianin, gentiodelphin, and cyanodelphin bind with catalytic dyad of 2019-nCoV- protease. Phacelianin-2019-nCoV-protease remain stable with no obvious fluctuations.

Abstract
As the leading cause of death worldwide, viruses significantly affect global health. Despite the rapid progress in human healthcare, there are few viricidal and antiviral therapies that are efficient enough. The rapid emergence of resistance, and high costs, as well as the related side effects of synthetic antiviral drugs, raise the need to identify novel, effective, and safe alternatives against viral diseases. Nature has been of the most exceptional help and source of inspiration for developing novel multi-target antiviral compounds, affecting several steps of the viral life cycle and host proteins. For that matter and due to safety and efficacy limitations, as well as high resistance rate of conventional therapies, hundreds of natural molecules are preferred over the synthetic drugs. Besides, natural antiviral agents have shown acceptable antiviral value in both preclinical and clinical trials.This is the first review regarding molecular and cellular pathways of the virus life cycle, treatment strategies, and therapeutic targets of several viral diseases with a particular focus on anthocyanins as promising natural compounds for significant antiviral enhancements. Clinical applications and the need to develop nano-formulation of anthocyanins in drug delivery systems are also considered.

Abstract
Viral neuraminidase inhibitors are widely used as synthetic anti-influenza drugs for the
prevention and treatment of influenza. However, drug-resistant influenza A virus variants,
including H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIVs), have been reported.
Therefore, the discovery of novel and effective antiviral agents is warranted. We screened
the antiviral effects of 11 herbal tea extracts (hibiscus, black tea, tencha, rosehip tea,
burdock tea, green tea, jasmine tea, ginger tea, lavender tea, rose tea and oak tea)
against the H5N1 HPAIV in vitro. Among the tested extracts, only the
hibiscus extract and its fractionated extract (frHibis) highly and rapidly reduced the
titers of all H5 HPAIVs and low pathogenic AIVs (LPAIVs) used in the pre-treatment tests
of Madin–Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells that were inoculated with a mixture of the virus
and the extract. Immunogold electron microscopy showed that anti-H5 monoclonal antibodies
could not bind to the deformed H5 virus particles pretreated with frHibis. In
post-treatment tests of MDCK cells cultured in the presence of frHibis after infection
with H5N1 HPAIV, the frHibis inhibited viral replication and the expression of viral
antigens and genes. Among the plants tested, hibiscus showed the most prominent antiviral
effects against both H5 HPAIV and LPAIV.

Abstract
After the sensational rediscovery of living exemplars of the Cretaceous relict Metasequoia glyptostroboides-a tree previously known exclusively from fossils from various locations in the northern hemisphere, there has been an increasing interest in discovery of novel natural products from this unique plant source. This article includes the first complete compilation of natural products reported from M. glyptostroboides during the entire period in which the tree has been investigated (1954-2014) with main focus on the compounds specific to this plant source. Studies on the biological activity of pure compounds and extracts derived from M. glyptostroboides are reviewed for the first time. The unique potential of M. glyptostroboides as a source of bioactive constituents is founded on the fact that the tree seems to have survived unchanged since the Cretaceous era. Since then, its molecular defense system has resisted the attacks of millions of generations of pathogens. In line with this, some recent landmarks in Metasequoia paleobotany are covered. Initial spectral analysis of recently discovered intact 53 million year old wood and amber of Metasequoia strongly indicate that the tree has remained unchanged for millions of years at the molecular level.

Abstract
Influenza is a serious threat to health in all parts of the world. The control and treatment of influenza depends mainly on chemical or biochemical agents and, to date, some anti-influenza agents have been isolated from plants as a result of chemical and pharmacological studies. These agents include a variety of polyphenols, flavonoids, saponins, glucosides and alkaloids. Traditional medicine focuses on the use of herbs and traditional Chinese medicine has performed well in clinical practice and shows a potential in the therapy of influenza and its symptoms. The present paper reviews some constituents and extracts from plants and traditional Chinese medicine with anti-influenza activity.
