<p>2-Hydroxy-[1,1'-biphenyl]-3-carboxylic acid (2HBC) is a monomer that belongs to the group of ester compounds. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of trichophyton mentagrophytes and other fungi by forming hydrogen bonds with the enzyme activities in the cell wall. 2HBC also inhibits microbial growth by binding to enzymes such as phospholipase A2, cyclooxygenase, and lipoxygenase, which are involved in inflammatory processes. This drug also inhibits bacterial growth by binding to the ribosome, preventing protein synthesis and leading to cell death. The inhibition of microbial growth is not limited to bacteria; it also occurs in fungi and protozoa. 2HBC has been shown to be active against both extracellular and intracellular microbial infections.</p>

<p>Methyl 4-hydroxy-2-sulfanylquinoline-3-carboxylate (MSQ) is a synthetic molecule that has shown to have antiviral activity against the hepatitis B virus. This compound is a competitive inhibitor of the virus and prevents it from infecting cells. MSQ has also been shown to inhibit other viruses, such as herpes simplex virus, influenza A and C, rotavirus, and human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). The high inhibition of MSQ can be attributed to its ability to form hydrogen bonds with the amino acid residues in viral proteins. Additionally, MSQ interacts with anions in the active site of the enzymes that are necessary for viral replication through alkylation reactions.<br>MSQ has been found to be selective for influenza A and C by binding at different sites on the enzyme compared to other compounds like zanamivir and oseltamivir.
