Valorization of the peel and husk of guaraná (Paullinia cupana): oil extraction, chemical composition, cytotoxicity, and antitumor potential

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Guaraná (Paullinia cupana) is a fruit native to the Amazon region. Due to its widespread use, primarily in beverages, its production has grown over the years. The seed is the only commercially valuable part of the fruit so the guaraná production chain generates byproducts, including peel, husk, and spent seed.

The impact of a preprescribing formative assessment on learning in final‐year medical students using hospital inpatient electronic prescribing systems

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Graduating medical students consistently report being unprepared for the complexity of prescribing in clinical practice. Current clinical prescribing teaching and authentic assessment are limited due to patient safety concerns. We aimed to examine the educational utility of supervised preprescribing as a learning process and potential authentic ...

Identifying the target of an antiparasitic compound in Toxoplasma using thermal proteome profiling.

ACS Chemical Biology, 2020
Apicomplexan parasites include the causative agents of malaria and toxoplasmosis. Cell-based screens in Toxoplasma previously identified a chemical modulator of calcium signaling (ENH1) that blocked parasite egress from host cells and exhibited potent ...

Safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of DNDI‐6148, a novel agent for leishmaniasis: A randomized, controlled, single ascending dose study in healthy participants

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim The benzoxaborole derivative DNDI‐6148 is an antiparasitic agent with activity against multiple Leishmania protozoan species, including L. infantum and L. donovani, which cause visceral leishmaniasis. We investigated the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single oral doses of DNDI‐6148 in a randomized, parallel‐group, placebo‐controlled ...

Enhanced deoxyviolacein bioproduction via enzyme condensation with a yeast glycolytic enzyme‐derived peptide tag

Biotechnology Progress, EarlyView.
Fusion of a 27‐amino‐acid peptide tag derived from a glycolytic enzyme enabled artificial assembly formation of the two violacein biosynthetic enzymes, VioE and VioC. This assembly resulted in enhanced biosynthesis of deoxyviolacein. Abstract In microbial production, regulating endogenous and exogenous synthetic pathways is essential.
