- Jun6504 is a 2C inhibitor with demonstrated in vivo antiviral efficacy in a neurological mouse model of EV-D68 infection.

- Jun6504 exhibits broad-spectrum antiviral activity against EV-D68, EV-A71, and CVB3.

- Molecular dynamics simulations showed that Jun571 forms stable complexes with EV-A71 and CVB3 2C proteins by binding to the allosteric site.

- Pharmacokinetic profiles indicate that Jun6504 series of compounds have a peak plasma concentration at around 1 hour and relatively fast clearance with half-lives of around 2-3 hours after intraperitoneal injection.

- Jun6504 has consistent antiviral activity against several enterovirus species, including five strains of EV-D68 from the 2014 epidemic.

- In neonatal mice, Jun6504 significantly improves clinical outcomes and reduces viral titers in the spinal cord and infected muscles when administered during EV-D68 infection.

- A serial passage experiment identified mutations, including D323G, D183V, and I112V, in the viral 2C protein that confer resistance to Jun6504 in EV-D68.

- Bitter gourd (Momordica charantia L.) is produced and consumed worldwide for its health benefits, including anti-diabetic, anti-obesity, anticancer, antifungal, antiviral, and antibacterial properties.

- The study assessed the effects of inoculating bitter gourd plants with Azotobacter chroococcum and Rhizophagus irregularis on fruit morphometric traits, chemical properties, and fruit yield under saline conditions.

- Salinity affects 20% of irrigated and 22% of dryland agricultural land globally, according to the FAO, and can reduce the availability of essential nutrients in soil.

- Bitter gourd plants can tolerate mild salinity, but levels exceeding 4-6 dS/m are generally toxic, leading to yield reductions.

- The consortium treatment of A. chroococcum and R. irregularis under saline stress significantly improved fruit morphometric traits and fruit yield compared to individual treatments.

- The consortium treatment led to a significant increase in fruit yield (315.56%) under saline conditions compared to the control.

- Rhizophagus irregularis is part of mycorrhizal-based fertilizers, enhancing nutrient uptake and soil aggregation, and mitigates salt stress by enhancing nutrient acquisition.
