The elimination of some senescent cells by « senolytic » compounds can greatly improve the health of aged mice and in some cases reverse the effects of aging. Using a microbial exposure system that closely models coronavirus infection, it is possible to largely protect old mice from the effects of viral infection. This immediately suggests clinical application of the approach, and is the aim of ongoing phase II clinical trials in Covid-19 patients.

Naturally occurring naphthoquinones (NQs) comprising highly reactive small molecules are the subject of increasing attention due to their promising biological activities such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, apoptosis-inducing activities, and especially anticancer activity. Lapachol, lapachone, and napabucasin belong to the NQs and are in phase II clinical trials for the treatment of many cancers. This review aims to provide a comprehensive and updated overview on the biological activities of several new NQs isolated from different species of plants reported from January 2013 to January 2020, their potential therapeutic applications and their clinical significance.
