The redox-active drug metronidazole and thiol-depleting garlic compounds act synergistically in the protist parasite Spironucleus vortens [PDF]
Spironucleus vortens is a protozoan parasite associated with significant mortalities in the freshwater angelfish, Pterophyllum scalare. Control of this parasite is especially problematic due to restrictions on the use of the drug of choice, metronidazole

Drug repurposing: tolfenamic acid inactivates PrbP, a transcriptional accessory protein in liberibacter asiaticus [PDF]
CLIBASIA_01510, PrbP, is a predicted RNA polymerase binding protein in Liberibacter asiaticus. PrbP was found to regulate expression of a small subset of ribosomal genes through interactions with the β-subunit of the RNA polymerase and a short, specific ...

AbstractWe present here the photofragmentation patterns of doubly ionized 4(5)‐nitroimidazole and 1‐methyl‐5‐nitroimidazole. The doubly ionized state was created by core ionizing the C 1s orbitals of the samples, rapidly followed by Auger decay. Due to the recent development of nitroimidazole‐based radiosensitizing drugs, core ionization was selected ...
