The anabolic steroid stanozolol is a potent inhibitor of human MutT homolog 1

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
MutT homolog 1 (MTH1) is a member of the NUDIX superfamily of enzymes and is an anticancer drug target. We show that stanozolol (Stz), an anabolic steroid, is an unexpected nanomolar inhibitor of MTH1. The X‐ray crystal structure of the human MTH1–Stz complex reveals a unique binding scaffold that could be utilized for future inhibitor development ...

Growth inhibition of neurospora by canavanine, and its reversal [PDF]

, 1948
Canavanine, an amino acid from jack beans, was discovered by Kitagawa and coworkers in 1929 (1, 2). The substance is not combined in the proteins of the seed, but occurs in the free state, and makes up 2.5 per cent of the dry weight of jack beans (3). In

Biological activities of ethanolic extracts from deep-sea antarctic marine sponges [PDF]

, 2013
We report on the screening of ethanolic extracts from 33 deep-sea Antarctic marine sponges for different biological activities. We monitored hemolysis, inhibition of acetylcholinesterase, cytotoxicity towards normal and transformed cells and growth ...

PIF3 Is Involved in the Primary Root Growth Inhibition of Arabidopsis Induced by Nitric Oxide in the Light

Molecular Plant, 2013
SUMMARY Nitric oxide (NO) promotes the accumulation of PHYB and thus reduces PIF3. The activity of PIF3 was also regulated by RGL3. PIF3 may lie downstream of PHYB and RGL3, and regulate NO-induced root growth inhibition of Arabidopsis seedlings in light.

Aβ42 promotes the aggregation of α‐synuclein splice isoforms via heterogeneous nucleation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The aggregation of amyloid‐β (Aβ) and α‐synuclein (αSyn) is associated with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. This study reveals that Aβ aggregates serve as potent nucleation sites for the aggregation of αSyn and its splice isoforms, shedding light on the intricate interplay between these two pathogenic proteins.

The bromotyrosine derivative Ianthelline isolated from the Arctic marine sponge Stryphnus fortis inhibits marine micro- and macrobiofouling [PDF]

, 2014
International audienceThe inhibition of marine biofouling by the bromotyrosine derivative ianthelline, isolated from the Arctic marine sponge Stryphnus fortis, is described. All major stages of the fouling process are investigated.

ERBIN limits epithelial cell plasticity via suppression of TGF‐β signaling

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In breast and lung cancer patients, low ERBIN expression correlates with poor clinical outcomes. Here, we show that ERBIN inhibits TGF‐β‐induced epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition in NMuMG breast and A549 lung adenocarcinoma cell lines. ERBIN suppresses TGF‐β/SMAD signaling and reduces TGF‐β‐induced ERK phosphorylation.

Nullscript inhibits Cryptosporidium and Toxoplasma growth

International Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance, 2020
Cryptosporidium and Toxoplasma are parasites that have caused problems worldwide. Cryptosporidium causes severe watery diarrhoea and may be fatal in immunocompromised patients and in infants. Nitazoxanide is the only agent currently approved by the FDA, but its efficacy is limited.

Effects of pharmaceutical wastes on growth of microalgae [PDF]

, 1970
The purpose of this work was to assay samples of waste material from Puerto Rican pharmaceutical industries for inhibition of growth of algae. Two samples (noted as I and II) supplied to us were tested for toxicity to six microalgae.
