Anti-Trypanosoma cruzi action of a new benzofuran derivative based on amiodarone structure [PDF]
Chagas disease is a neglected tropical affection caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. There is no current effective treatment since the only two available drugs have a limited efficacy and produce side effects.

Antifungal activity of bis-azasqualenes, inhibitors of oxidosqualene cyclase.
The antifungal activity and in vitro toxicity toward animal cells of two inhibitors of oxidosqualene cyclase, squalene bis-diethylamine (SBD) and squalene bis-diethylmethylammonium iodide (SBDI) were studied. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against dermatophytes and other fungi involved in cutaneous and systemic infections (12 isolates from ...

ABSTRACT Microalgae are increasingly recognised as powerful platforms for the sustainable production of lipids and terpenoids, with expanding applications in the food, fuel and biomanufacturing industries. In this updated review, we consolidate and critically assess the most recent advances in synthetic biology and metabolic engineering of key ...

A Single Oxidosqualene Cyclase Produces the Seco-Triterpenoid α-Onocerin [PDF]
8,14-seco-Triterpenoids are characterized by their unusual open C-ring. Their distribution in nature is rare and scattered in taxonomically unrelated plants. The 8,14-seco-triterpenoid α-onocerin is only known from the evolutionarily distant clubmoss genus Lycopodium and the leguminous genus Ononis, which makes the biosynthesis of this seco ...

Paleoproterozic Icehouses and the Evolution of Oxygen Mediating Enzymes: The Case for a Late Origin of Photosystem -- II [PDF]
Two major geological problems regarding the origin of oxygenic photosynthesis are: (1) identifying a source of oxygen predating biological oxygen production and capable of driving the evolution of oxygen tolerance, and (2) determining when oxygenic ...
