APPLICATION OF GOSSYPOL AND ITS OPTICAL ISOMERS TO PREPARATION OF CORONAVIRUS 3CL PROTEASE INHIBITOR
Publication number: 20240074990Abstract: The present invention relates to application of gossypol and its optical isomers to preparation of an anti-Coronavirus drug. Specifically disclosed is application of pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, isotopes, stereoisomers, stereoisomer mixtures, and tautomers of the gossypol and its optical isomers to preparation of a drug for preventing and/or treating a disease caused by a Coronavirus. The Coronavirus is MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV, or SARS-CoV-2. It is found in the present invention for the first time that the gossypol and its optical isomers can inhibit the activity of Coronavirus 3CL proteases to achieve an anti-Coronavirus effect. The half maximal inhibitory concentrations of gossypol and (?)-gossypol to SARS-CoV proteases and SARS-CoV-2 3CL proteases are all lower than 10 ?M. The anti-Coronavirus 3CL protease effect is good. Therefore, the gossypol and its optical isomers have the potential for use in the preparation of a drug for preventing and/or treating novel Coronavirus infections.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Xiaolin XIE, Dezhu ZHANG, Zhao MA, Boyang LI, Xuhua ZHOU, Lei TIAN, Chengyuan LIANG, Taotao QIANG, Jingyi LI, Liang XIN, Shaojun ZHANG, Kangxiong WU, Xiuding YANG, Sundian LIU, Yuting LIU -

Publication number: 20200050677Abstract: Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are disclosed for learning models of movies, keywords, actors, and roles, and querying the same. In one embodiment, a recommendation application optimizes a model based on training data by initializing the mean and co-variance matrices of Gaussian distributions representing movies, keywords, and actors to random values, and then performing an optimization to minimize a margin loss function using symmetrical or asymmetrical measures of similarity between entities. Such training produces an optimized model with the Gaussian distributions representing movies, keywords, and actors, as well as shift vectors that change the means of movie Gaussian distributions and model archetypical roles. Subsequent to training, the same similarity measures used to train the model are used to query the model and obtain rankings of entities based on similarity to terms in the query, and a representation of the rankings may be displayed via, e.g., a display device.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 7, 2018Publication date: February 13, 2020Inventors: Boyang LI, Hannah KIM, Denys KATERENCHUK
