Antiprotozoal activity of different Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus bacterial secondary metabolites and identification of bioactive compounds using the easyPACId approach

Scientific Reports, 2022
Natural products have been proven to be important starting points for the development of new drugs. Bacteria in the genera Photorhabdus and Xenorhabdus produce antimicrobial compounds as secondary metabolites to compete with other organisms. Our study is

In vitro anti‐Trichomonas gallinae effects of Ziziphus vulgaris L. and Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze extracts

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 10, Issue 3, May 2024.
Graphical Abstract: Ziziphus vulgaris L. (jujube) and Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze extracts have anti‐Trichomonas gallinae effects and could be used as potent natural anti‐Trichomonas gallinae agents. In addition, metronidazole, C. sinensis and Z. vulgaris extracts equally prevent the growth of T. gallinae trophozoites in the culture.

Glucose metabolism in the pathogenic free‐living amoebae: Tempting targets for treatment development

Chemical Biology &Drug Design, Volume 103, Issue 1, January 2024.
Enzymes involved in glucose metabolism may be promising therapeutic targets for drug development against the pathogenic free‐living amoebae. Details about the enzyme sequence and structural properties make a compelling case for designing small molecule inhibitors that are specific to the amoebae and would not affect the host enzyme.AbstractPathogenic ...
