Carijoside A, a Bioactive Sterol Glycoside from an Octocoral Carijoa sp. (Clavulariidae)
Marine Drugs, 2010 A new bioactive sterol glycoside, 3β-O-(3',4'-di-O-acetyl-β-D-arabinopyranosyl)-25ξ-cholestane-3β,5α,6β,26-tetrol-26-acetate) (carijoside A, 1), was isolated from an octocoral identified as Carijoa sp.

RNA sampling and crystallographic refinement using Rappertk [PDF]
arXiv, 2007 Background. Dramatic increases in RNA structural data have made it possible to recognize its conformational preferences much better than a decade ago. This has created an opportunity to use discrete restraint-based conformational sampling for modelling RNA and automating its crystallographic refinement. Results.

Comparative study of the biological activities of the aqueous extracts of two spontaneous plants harvested in the Algerian Sahara [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 The present study investigates the insecticidal and herbicidal effects of leaf extracts from two plants were harvested in the Northern Algerian Sahara. These are Cleome arabica (Capparaceae) and Pergularia tomentosa (Asclepiadaceae). The efficacy of the extracts from the plants was evaluated by the reflux extraction method.

A cytotoxic survey on 2‐amino‐1H‐imidazol based synthetic marine sponge alkaloid analogues
Drug Development Research, Volume 83, Issue 8, Page 1906-1922, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Here, we describe the synthesis and biologic activity evaluation of 20 novel synthetic marine sponge alkaloid analogues with 2‐amino‐1H‐imidazol (2‐AI) core. Cytotoxicity was tested on murine 4T1 breast cancer, A549 human lung cancer, and HL‐60 human myeloid leukemia cells by the resazurin assay.

How homogeneous are the trehalose, maltose and sucrose water solutions ? An Insight from Molecular Dynamics simulations [PDF]
arXiv, 2005 The structural properties resulting from the reciprocal influence between water and three well-known homologous disaccharides, namely trehalose, maltose and sucrose, in aqueous solutions have been investigated in the 4-66 wt % concentration range by means of molecular dynamics computer simulations. Hydration numbers clearly show that trehalose binds to

Novel Approaches To Design Glycan‐Based Antibacterial Inhibitors
European Journal of Organic Chemistry, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2, 2023., 2023 Sweet and sticky: This review describes recent advances in the synthesis and application of homo‐and heterovalent glycan‐scaffolds as potential candidates for efficient bacteria lectin inhibition. To study and address the many complex molecular mechanisms involved in multivalent lectin binding events, novel glycoconjugate designs and fine‐tunable ...

Analysis of plant metabolomics data using identification‐free approaches
Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Plant metabolomes are structurally diverse. One of the most popular techniques for sampling this diversity is liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC‐MS), which typically detects thousands of peaks from single organ extracts, many representing true metabolites.
