Brazilian Biomes as Promising Resources of Rhodotorula Yeasts for the Biotechnological Production of Carotenoids

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Yeasts belonging to the genus Rhodotorula are capable of synthesizing carotenoids, such as β‐carotene, γ‐carotene, torulene, torularodine, and astaxanthin. These carotenoids have been shown to offer health benefits to humans, such as immune system strengthening and a reduced risk of chronic degenerative diseases.

Boosting Antibiotic Efficacy of Azole Drugs against Methicillin‐Resistant Staphylococcus aureus by Coordination to Rhenium Carbonyl Complexes

ChemBioChem, Accepted Article.
In this study, a library of rhenium di‐ and tricarbonyl complexes featuring various antimicrobial azoles as monodentate ligands was synthesized and characterized. Their antimicrobial activity was evaluated against both methicillin‐sensitive (MSSA) and methicillin‐resistant (MRSA) Staphylococcus aureus, and selected compounds were also assessed for ...

Bioactivity profiles of progressively ring‐fluorinated cyclohexyl motifs in the WKYMVm peptide as formylpeptide FPR2 agonists and in keto‐piperazines as anti‐trypanosome agents.

ChemBioChem, Accepted Article.
A series of all‐cis ring fluorinated cyclohexylalanines with progressively increasing levels of vicinal fluorines, as well as 4‐fluorophenylalanine and pentafluoroarylphenylalanine were introduced into the WKYMVm peptide in place of its tyrosine residue, for assays against the G‐protein coupled formylpeptide receptor, FPR2.
