During the time of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, it has been crucial to search for novel antiviral drugs from plants and well as other natural sources as alternatives for prophylaxis. This work reviews the antiviral potential of plant extracts, and the results of previous research for the treatment and prophylaxis of coronavirus disease and previous kinds of representative coronaviruses group. Detailed descriptions of medicinal herbs and crops based on their origin native area, plant parts used, and their antiviral potentials have been conducted. The possible role of plant-derived natural antiviral compounds for the development of plant-based drugs against coronavirus has been described. To identify useful scientific trends, VOSviewer visualization of presented scientific data analysis was used.

Societal Impact Statement: Biological samples and their associated information are an essential resource used by scientists, governments, policymakers, practitioners and communities to ensure that biodiversity can be appropriately protected and sustainably used. Yet, considering the enormous task of documenting the vast numbers of as‐yet‐unknown plant and fungal species, greater international coordination for biological collecting and recording is necessary, built on equitable collecting practices and standards. Here, we propose five commitments to accelerate and enhance scientific knowledge of plant and fungal diversity, while increasing collaboration, benefit sharing and efficiency.Summary: Almost all life depends on plants and fungi, making knowledge of their diversity and distribution—primarily derived from biological collections—fundamental to national and international conservation, restoration and sustainable use commitments. However, it is estimated that some 15% of all plant species and over 90% of all fungal species have not yet been scientifically described, hampering our ability to assess and demonstrate the impact of efforts to halt biodiversity loss. In addition, organisations and researchers around the world lack a concerted strategy for increasing complementarity and avoiding overlap in botanical and mycological research, particularly in relation to the collection of specimens. We here present the 2030 Declaration on Scientific Plant and Fungal Collecting, summarising a commitment towards such a necessary strategy. Its components were identified from discussions during and after a series of four workshops and plenary discussions at the 2023 State of the World's Plants and Fungi symposium convened by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and were then consolidated into the present form by the authors. The Declaration was subsequently opened up for endorsement by signatories. Collectively, we agree on a set of five commitments for cataloguing the world's flora and funga, designed to maximise efficiency, facilitate knowledge exchange and promote equitable collaborations: (1) use evidence‐based collection strategies; (2) strengthen local capacity; (3) collaborate across taxa and disciplines; (4) collect for the future; and (5) share the benefits. This Declaration is a first step towards increased global and regional coordination of scientific collecting efforts.

Terpenoids are biologically active molecules, and a low molecular weight makes them acceptable as drug candidates. This project aimed to discover drug leads against Advance glycation end products (AGEs) and inflammation in diabetic patients from Ferula oopoda . We employed NMR, computational tools and in vitro AGEs inhibition assays and their mechanistic insights. Two terpenoid compounds namely lancerodiol p -hydroxybenzoate ( 1 ) and Iso-tschimganine ( 2 ) were isolated and analyzed using NMR analysis. The computational prediction confirmed drug likeness properties and agreeable ADMET properties. Network pharmacology revealed that the AGEs-inhibitory effect of the analyzed compounds was related to several diabetic complications. Molecular docking showed the highest free energies in Iso-Tschimganine against transcription regulators 1CX2 (ΔG −6.3 (kJ mol ⁻¹ )), 4F5S (ΔG −5.9 (kJ mol ⁻¹ ) and 6Y3C ΔG −6.6 (kJ mol ⁻¹ ). A significant lowering of oxidative stress was recorded in the case of compound 1 with DPPH (24.5 μg/mL); FRAP (56.1 µg) and H ₂ O ₂ (64.1 ± 2.1). Similarly, high anti-inflammatory activity was recorded in the case of compound 1 in protein denaturation (55.2 ± 1.2 %), proteinase inhibition (85.7 ± 2.8 %), and 15 Lox assay (61.6 ± 1.4 %). A moderate inhibition of AGEs was recorded with compound 2 in BSA-glucose model (61.2 ± 1.4 %). It was thus concluded that both compounds possess significant activities against AGEs and inflammation.

Background: The use and reproduction of natural resources that are interested in improving the living standards of the population is based studing of scientifically complex. Studying the biodiversity of medicinal plants based on cenological assesments are depending on their ecological diversity is always relevant. This study was aimed to estimate population of Equisetum arvense L. phytocenologically and ecologically and registrations during in different years.Methods: Ontogenetical descriptions of Equisetum arvense species have been shown according to form of ontogenetically periods. It has been used discrete descriptive conception of ontegenese and development stages of the individuals have been charactered. Results have been analysed by χ2 comparison of criteria. Results Three natural cenopopulations and cenological state of E. arvense were assessed during 2017-2019 years. It is defined that, 1st and 3rd cenopopulations were transitions and 2nd was mature in 2017, in 2018 1st was young, 2nd and 3rd were mature, in 2019 1st and 2nd were young and 3rd was mature. Restoration of 1st and 2nd cenopopulations were higher in 2019 than in 2017-2018.Conclusions: Properties of soil-climate condition in E. arvense formation has been a cause for a determining development rhythm feature in the Equiseta vegetation. Important changes in ecology temperature, dampness and other factors influence on strongly seasonal dynamism of grasses in the Zagatala territory, but semi-shrubs tier that E. arvense dominates is constant. Seasonal distribution of the atmosphere rainfalls influences on development dynamism of populations. For this reason restoration parameters of some populations were high in compared to previous years.

A plant extract from rose hips (Rosa canina L.) has been studied. Its immunostimulating properties were determined and the optimal dose was established, equal to 1.5 mg/kg, as well as its effect on the biochemical and hematological parameters of the blood. The tension of immunity after vaccination in combination with a plant extract was established.
