Identification and characterization of prescription drugs that change levels of 7-dehydrocholesterol and desmosterol

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2018
Regulating blood cholesterol (Chol) levels by pharmacotherapy has successfully improved cardiovascular health. There is growing interest in the role of Chol precursors in the treatment of diseases.

The continuing significance of chiral agrochemicals

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1697-1716, April 2025.
In the time frame 2018–2023, around 43% of the 35 chiral agrochemicals introduced to the market (herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, and nematicides) contain one or more stereogenic centers in the molecule, and almost 69% of them have been marketed as racemic mixtures of enantiomers or stereoisomers.

The Neuroprotective Effect of a Waste Byproduct Obtained From Pomegranate (Punica granatum)

open access: yesPhytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
The Effect of a Waste Byproduct Obtained From Pomegranate on Neurodegeneration. ABSTRACT Pomegranate is an exceptional fruit that can have several beneficial effects on human health. The peel of pomegranate, a waste product, should be recovered as it still contains valuable constituents, including phenolic compounds, minerals and fibre. The recovery of

Pharmacophore-Based Virtual Screening of Novel Inhibitors and Docking Analysis for CYP51A from Penicillium italicum

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2017
Sterol 14α-demethylases from Cytochrome P450 family (CYP51s) are essential enzymes in sterol biosynthesis and well-known as the target of antifungal drugs.

Influence of inhibitors of sterol biosynthesis on growth and sterol metabolism in Candida albicans

open access: yes, 2003
Candida albicans was treated with seven antifungal agents designed to inhibit ergosterol biosynthesis. Two types of inhibitors were studied based on their hypothetical mode of action: mechanism-based inactivators, containing either a sulfur or bromine in

Effect of different inhibitors of sterol biosynthesis on both fungal growth and aflatoxin production

open access: yes, 1995
Azole antifungals are reported to interfere with fungal growth by selective impairment of the P-450 dependent 14 α-demethylase system key to biosynthesis of ergosterol (ERG), thus leading to the depletion of this sterol in fungal membranes and to the ...

SMILE: Extraction‐free submicron‐resolution mapping of lipid chain length and unsaturation by stimulated Raman imaging

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
In this work, we develop submicron‐resolution mapping of intracellular lipid elements (SMILE) as an extraction‐free vibrational spectroscopic imaging platform based on hyperspectral stimulated Raman scattering microscopy with a spectral analysis pipeline for pixel‐resolved lipid profiling.

AMPKα Subunit Ssp2 and Glycogen Synthase Kinases Gsk3/Gsk31 are involved in regulation of sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP) activity in fission yeast.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP), a highly conserved family of membrane-bound transcription factors, is an essential regulator for cellular cholesterol and lipid homeostasis in mammalian cells.

Impact of incretin analogues on lipid and lipoprotein metabolism in obesity and diabetes

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Incretin‐based therapies have gained momentum as a key strategy for reducing cardiovascular risk in individuals with obesity and/or type 2 diabetes (T2D). It remains unclear whether the cardiovascular benefits reflect a direct reduction in atherogenic lipoproteins—namely, low‐density lipoproteins (LDL), very low‐density lipoproteins (VLDL) and

Fluorinated Sterols Are Suicide Inhibitors of Ergosterol Biosynthesis and Growth in Trypanosoma brucei

open access: yesChemistry & Biology, 2015
Trypanosoma brucei, the causal agent for sleeping sickness, depends on ergosterol for growth. Here, we describe the effects of a mechanism-based inhibitor, 26-fluorolanosterol (26FL), which converts in vivo to a fluorinated substrate of the sterol C24-methyltransferase essential for sterol methylation and function of ergosterol, and missing from the ...
