Metabolite Screening From Pinus pinea Needles Reveals (+)‐Isocupressic Acid as a Key Phytotoxin for Weed Management

open access: yesPhytochemical Analysis, Volume 36, Issue 8, Page 2374-2384, December 2025.
This study explores the phytotoxicity of Pinus pinea needle extracts and metabolites to evaluate their potential for controlling dicotyledonous weeds. A strategy based on GC–MS, NMR, and optical methods revealed an array of aromatic compounds which are of crucial interest for phytochemical research. Hence, a bio‐guided purification led to the isolation

Computational Bioprospection of Selected South African Essential Oils for Inhibition of Aldose Reductase and Sorbitol Dehydrogenase for Diabetes Therapy

open access: yesChemistrySelect, Volume 10, Issue 43, November 17, 2025.
This study computationally identifies quercetin‐7‐O‐glucoside (Q7G) as a potential dual inhibitor of aldose reductase and sorbitol dehydrogenase, and quercetin‐3,7‐diglucoside (Q37DG) as a potential sorbitol dehydrogenase inhibitor. These two compounds are traceable to South African Agathosma betulina essential oils and have remarkable binding ...

Bioprospecting in Colombia [PDF]

open access: yesUniversitas Scientiarum, 2013
Despite the evolution of international policy on bioprospecting, Colombian regulations on the matter stilllack uniformity with these international policies. Here we examine the effectiveness of Colombian policyon bioprospecting and its consonance with international guidelines and treaties.

Unveiling the Evolutionary History of European Vipers and Their Venoms From a Multi‐Omic Approach

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 21, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Snake genomes attract significant attention from multiple disciplines, including medicine, drug bioprospection, and evolutionary biology. However, genomic research within the Viperidae family has mostly focused on the subfamily Crotalinae, while the true vipers (Viperinae) have largely been overlooked.
