Investigating the Antifungal Mechanism of Action of Polygodial by Phenotypic Screening in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci, 2021
Polygodial is a “hot” peppery-tasting sesquiterpenoid that was first described for its anti-feedant activity against African armyworms. Using the haploid deletion mutant library of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a genome-wide mutant screen was performed to shed more light on polygodial’s antifungal mechanism of action. We identified 66 deletion strains that

Chemical Diversity and Biosynthesis of Drimane‐Type Sesquiterpenes in the Fungal Kingdom

ChemBioChem, Volume 23, Issue 17, September 5, 2022., 2022
Fungal drimane‐type sesquiterpenes (DTSs) are emerging as a very interesting class of chemicals with many notable activities. Elucidation of DTS biosynthesis in fungi revealed that the two main precursors, drimenol and drim‐8‐ene‐11‐ol, are the preferred backbones.

Safety and Efficacy of Medicinal Plants Used to Manufacture Herbal Products with Regulatory Approval in Uganda: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Introduction. The Uganda National Drug Authority requires phytochemical screening, freedom from microbial contamination, and evidence of safety and efficacy of the constituent plants to register herbal products. Since Uganda has no pharmacopeia, safety, efficacy, and plant processing information are not readily available.
