Repurposing of Inhibitors of Plasmodial Aspartate Transcarbamoylase Toward Trypanosoma Cruzi
Aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATC) catalyzes the committed and rate‐limiting step in the pyrimidine de novo biosynthesis pathway. While previously suggested to be a potential target for antimalarial, antitubercular, and antioncologic drug discovery, we hypothesized that an existing compound library of ATC inhibitors designed from one scaffold by ...

Amides from Porcelia ponderosa display potent activity against amastigotes from Trypanosoma cruzi. ABSTRACT In the present work, the MeOH extract from roots of Porcelia ponderosa R.E. Fries (Annonaceae) was subjected to several chromatographic techniques to afford three chemically related amides: N‐trans‐p‐coumaroyltyramine (1), N‐trans ...

Transport proteins determine drug sensitivity and resistance in a protozoan parasite, Trypanosoma brucei [PDF]
Drug resistance in pathogenic protozoa is very often caused by changes to the ‘transportome’ of the parasites. In Trypanosoma brucei, several transporters have been implicated in uptake of the main classes of drugs, diamidines and melaminophenyl ...

Artificial intelligence‐powered microscopy: Transforming the landscape of parasitology
Abstract Microscopy and image analysis play a vital role in parasitology research; they are critical for identifying parasitic organisms and elucidating their complex life cycles. Despite major advancements in imaging and analysis, several challenges remain. These include the integration of interdisciplinary data; information derived from various model

African Trypanosomes undermine humoral responses and vaccine development : link with inflammatory responses? [PDF]
African trypanosomosis is a debilitating disease of great medical and socioeconomical importance. It is caused by strictly extracellular protozoan parasites capable of infecting all vertebrate classes including human, livestock, and game animals.
