Pathogenic Significance of Trypanosomatids: Progress in Drug Resistance, Control Strategies, and Artificial Intelligence

Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Infectious Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Trypanosomatids, including the genera Trypanosoma and Leishmania, are protozoan parasites of significant medical and veterinary relevance. These organisms cause African trypanosomiasis, Chagas disease, and leishmaniasis, which are classified as neglected tropical diseases (NTDs).

Chemical Composition, Antioxidant, and Antibacterial Activities of Mezilaurus duckei (Lauraceae)

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 22, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Mezilaurus duckei, a Brazilian endemic tree species found exclusively in the Amazon Rainforest, is primarily exploited for timber in construction. Due to its endangered status, this study aimed to investigate the chemical profile and biological properties of the ethanolic extract and its phases derived from M. duckei leaves. Chemical profiling

Cynaropicrin: a comprehensive research review and therapeutic potential as an anti- hepatitis C virus agent

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2016
The different pharmacologic properties of plants-containing cynaropicrin, especially artichokes, have been known for many centuries. More recently, cynaropicrin exhibited a potential activity against all genotypes of hepatitis C virus (HCV). Cynaropicrin

Bioactivity Profiles of Progressively Ring‐Fluorinated Cyclohexyl Motifs in the WKYMVm Peptide as Formylpeptide FPR2 Agonists and in Keto‐Piperazines as Antitrypanosome Agents

ChemBioChem, Volume 26, Issue 22, November 17, 2025.
All‐cis‐fluorinated cyclohexyl motifs with progressively increasing levels of fluorine are introduced into the WKYMVm peptide and a class of keto‐piperazine derivatives and assayed against the FPR2 receptor or the parasite Trypanosoma brucei, respectively.

Antibiotic Resistance: A Genetic and Physiological Perspective

MedComm, Volume 6, Issue 11, November 2025.
The development of resistance to antimicrobials and their historical progression are depicted in this graphic. It draws attention to important biochemical, physiological, and genetic factors that contribute to AMR, such as the transmission of genes, the development of biofilms, and the inactivation of antibiotics.

Evaluation of two candidate molecules—TCTP and cecropin—on the establishment of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense into the gut of Glossina palpalis gambiensis

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1747-1760, October 2025.
This study investigates the potential of enhancing the resistance of Glossina palpalis gambiensis to Trypanosoma brucei gambiense to mitigate the transmission of Human African Trypanosomiasis. We successfully cloned genes encoding proteins of interest in Sodalis strains, resulting in recombinant Sodalis (recSodalis) that were micro‐injected into the L3

Potential Therapeutic Actions of Flavonoids Present in Propolis That Modulate Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Signaling to Regulate Angiogenesis

Phytotherapy Research, Volume 39, Issue 9, Page 4230-4246, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Propolis is a plant‐derived substance collected by honeybees that has a range of potential therapeutic applications. Propolis consists of resins, waxes, and fatty acids, as well as essential oils and other organic compounds. The pharmacologically active components of propolis include phenols and flavonoids, among others.
