Stromal keratitis resulting from ocular infection with Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is a common cause of blindness. This report investigates the antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties of two new synthetic ...

Brassinosteroids are a novel group of steroids that appear to be ubiquitous in plants and are essential for normal plant growth and development. It has been previously reported that brassinosteroid analogues exert an ...

Angiogenesis plays a critical role in initiating and promoting several diseases, such as cancer and herpetic stromal keratitis (HSK). Herein, we studied the inhibitory effect of two synthetic stigmasterol derivatives on ...
