Translational effect of farnesol on TUP1, a key regulator of morphological differentiation in the human fungal pathogen, Candida albicans.

Academy Journal of Science and Engineering, 2022
Candida albicans is an opportunistic polymorphic yeast that can cause life threatening systemic infections in immunocompromised individuals. It resides as commensal organism on the skin, in the gastrointestinal tracts and in the genitourinary tracts of ...

Farnesol and farnesal dehydrogenase(s) in corpora allata of the tobacco hornworm moth, Manduca sexta.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1983
The metabolism of [3H]farnesol was studied in cell-free preparations of corpora allata from the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta, to assess the role of this presumed biosynthetic precursor of juvenile hormone (JH) III.

Reduction in Pathogenicity in Yeast-like Fungi by Farnesol in Quail Model

Animals, 2022
Candida albicans was the first eukaryotic microorganism to exhibit quorum-sensing through the secretion of the sesquiterpene E, farnesol. This molecule is generated by dephosphorylation of farnesyl pyrophosphate in the mevalonate biosynthetic pathway in ...

Farnesol modulation of Rhodotorula mucilaginosa in biofilm and planktonic forms

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2022
Biofilms are important to the virulence of human pathogenic fungi, and some molecules have been found to play key roles in the growth and regulation of fungal biofilms.

Farnesol-induced apoptosis in Candida albicans is mediated by Cdr1-p extrusion and depletion of intracellular glutathione. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Farnesol is a key derivative in the sterol biosynthesis pathway in eukaryotic cells previously identified as a quorum sensing molecule in the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans.

The two-component sensor kinase TcsC and its role in stress resistance of the human-pathogenic mold Aspergillus fumigatus. [PDF]

, 2012
Two-component signaling systems are widespread in bacteria, but also found in fungi. In this study, we have characterized TcsC, the only Group III two-component sensor kinase of Aspergillus fumigatus. TcsC is required for growth under hyperosmotic stress,

Effects of Two Terpene Alcohols on the Antibacterial Activity and the Mode of Action of Farnesol against Staphylococcus aureus

Molecules, 2008
We have studied changes in the antibacterial activity and the mode of action of farnesol against Staphylococcus aureus when two terpene alcohols with an aliphatic carbon chain were added, individually, to a bacterial suspension that contained farnesol ...

Synergistic prevention and reparative effects of sesquiterpene farnesol in a rabbit model of surgical resection-induced osteoarthritis

APL Bioengineering, 2023
Articular cartilage may regenerate poorly after injury or during aging. In vitro, farnesol can modulate extracellular matrix synthesis and restore chondrocyte phenotypes by increasing type II collagen (COL II) and glycosaminoglycan (GAG) production. Here,

Preparation, characterization, and evaluation of the antimicrobial effects of farnesol- and tyrosol-bearing nanoniosomes on Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli [PDF]

مجله پزشکی دانشگاه علوم پزشکی تبریز
Background. Recently, it has been found that tyrosol and farnesol can replace antibiotics due to their known antimicrobial and medicinal effects.

Preferential induction of apoptosis of leukaemic cells by farnesol [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 2000
Farnesol preferentially inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis of tumour‐derived but not non‐transformed cell lines. We investigated whether farnesol induces apoptosis of blasts from patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and leukaemic cell lines, as compared with normal, human primary haemopoietic cells.
