Abstract
Dengue virus (DENV) continues to pose a significant global health challenge, causing diseases such as dengue fever, dengue hemorrhagic fever, and dengue shock syndrome. While efforts in vaccine development and antiviral drug discovery are ongoing, effective therapeutic options remain limited. In this review, we highlight natural compounds and the analogs that demonstrated antiviral activity against DENV in in vitro and in vivo studies. Specifically, these studies examine alkaloids, phenolic acids, phenols, flavonoids, terpenoids, and glycosides which have shown potential in inhibiting DENV entry, replication, and reducing the cytokine storm. By focusing on these bioactive compounds and the analogs, a comprehensive overview of their promising roles is provided to advance therapeutic strategies for combating DENV infection.
期刊介绍:
Phytotherapy Research is an internationally recognized pharmacological journal that serves as a trailblazing resource for biochemists, pharmacologists, and toxicologists. We strive to disseminate groundbreaking research on medicinal plants, pushing the boundaries of knowledge and understanding in this field.
Our primary focus areas encompass pharmacology, toxicology, and the clinical applications of herbs and natural products in medicine. We actively encourage submissions on the effects of commonly consumed food ingredients and standardized plant extracts. We welcome a range of contributions including original research papers, review articles, and letters.
By providing a platform for the latest developments and discoveries in phytotherapy, we aim to support the advancement of scientific knowledge and contribute to the improvement of modern medicine.
