Design and Synthesis of Novel Spiropyridine Derivatives as Promising Anti-inflammatory and Gene-targeting Agents Against COVID-19

The synthesized spiropyridine derivatives containing a chalcone moiety exhibit potent antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. These findings suggest that these compounds could be promising therapeutic agents for managing COVID-19 and related inflammatory conditions. Future studies should focus on in vivo experiments, clinical trials, and structural optimization to further develop these compounds for clinical use.
