In Vitro Evaluation of the Potential Pharmacological Activity and Molecular Targets of New Benzimidazole-Based Schiff Base Metal Complexes

open access: yesAntibiotics, 2021
Metal-based drugs, including lanthanide complexes, have been extremely effective in clinical treatments against various diseases and have raised major interest in recent decades. Hence, in this work, a series of lanthanum (III) and cerium (III) complexes,

Structure‐Function of Falcipains: Malarial Cysteine Proteases

open access: yesJournal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Evidence indicates that cysteine proteases play essential role in malaria parasites; therefore an obvious area of investigation is the inhibition of these enzymes to treat malaria. Studies with cysteine protease inhibitors and manipulating cysteine proteases genes have suggested a role for cysteine proteases in hemoglobin hydrolysis.

Host‐Parasite Interaction: Parasite‐Derived and ‐Induced Proteases That Degrade Human Extracellular Matrix

open access: yesJournal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Parasitic protozoa are among the most important pathogens worldwide. Diseases such as malaria, leishmaniasis, amoebiasis, giardiasis, trichomoniasis, and trypanosomiasis affect millions of people. Humans are constantly threatened by infections caused by these pathogens.

Electrochemical Multicomponent Synthesis of Alkyl Alkenesulfonates using Styrenes, SO2 and Alcohols

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, Volume 30, Issue 21, April 11, 2024.
A first of its kind electrochemical approach for the direct synthesis of alkyl alkenesulfonates using styrenes, SO2 stock solution and alcohols was developed. The reaction features the in‐situ generation of a monoalkylsulfite species with subsequent radical addition to an anodically oxidized styrene substrate.

Regulatory elements within the prodomain of Falcipain-2, a cysteine protease of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2009
Falcipain-2, a papain family cysteine protease of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, plays a key role in parasite hydrolysis of hemoglobin and is a potential chemotherapeutic target.

Proteolytic cleavage of r-human NF-κB P65 by wild type- and r-cruzain but not by proteases expressed by cruzain-deficient T. cruzi.

open access: yes, 2013
Recombinant human NF-κB P65 was treated or not with cruzain or parasite extracts. Lane 1, untreated control; lane 2, r-cruzain (1∶1 molar ratio); lanes 3–4: dilutions 1∶10 and 1∶100 of r-cruzain, respectively; lane 5, r-cruzain (1∶1 molar ratio) and 10 ...

Kinetic Studies of Potent Thiosemicarbazone Inhibitors of Cruzain

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, 2007
Cruzain, a cathepsin L‐ and B‐like enzyme, is the major cysteine protease from Trypanosoma cruzi , the causative agent of Chagas' disease which is a major public health problem in Latin America. Previously, we reported a small library of thiosemicarbazone derivatives as inhibitors of cruzain.
