Identification of Kaurane-Type Diterpenes as Inhibitors of Leishmania Pteridine Reductase I
The current treatments against Leishmania parasites present high toxicity and multiple side effects, which makes the control and elimination of leishmaniasis challenging.

The wing colours and patterns of the genus Zygaena are limited and mainly red and black. This fact creates problems to distinguish closely related species by visual inspection.

Malignant Mixed Irido-Melanophoroma in a Betta splendens with Concurrent Mycobacterium chelonae Isolation-A Case Report. [PDF]
ABSTRACT A 10‐month‐old intact male blue Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens) was presented to the Purdue University Small Animal Hospital with multiple bilateral masses on the caudal flank. Comprehensive evaluation using impression cytology, histopathology and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed a tumour composed of a mixed‐cell ...

Pteridines in the Assessment of Neoplasia [PDF]
Biological processes which might explain the association of pteridine excretion with proliferation are still unknown. Difficulties in the analysis and the determination of naturally occurring pteridines are described. The best quantitative estimations were achieved when measurement of non-reduced forms was attempted.

Antitumor studies. Part 4: Design, synthesis, antitumor activity, and molecular docking study of novel 2-substituted 2-deoxoflavin-5-oxides, 2-deoxoalloxazine-5-oxides, and their 5-deaza analogs [PDF]
Various novel 10-alkyl-2-deoxo-2-methylthioflavin-5-oxides and their 2-alkylamino derivatives were prepared by facile nitrosative cyclization of 6-(N-alkylanilino)-2-methylthiopyrimidin-4(3H)-ones followed by nucleophilic replacement of the 2-methylthio ...

Directed search for diuretics among 6-substituted pteridine-2,4,7(1H,3H,8H)-triones
Directed search for biologically active compounds among heterocycles still remains a relevant area of medical chemistry. Among the significant number of heterocyclic compounds, pteridines deserve special attention.

Diversity oriented synthesis : substitution at C5 in unreactive pyrimidines by Claisen rearrangement and reactivity in nucleophilic substitution at C2 and C4 in pteridines and pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines [PDF]
Diversity oriented synthesis of fused pyrimidines leads to scaffolds with many biological activities. In the case of the preparation of pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines from 2-alkylthiopyrimidines, the formation of a new carbon-carbon bond at C5 is required, a ...

ITRAQ Proteomic Analysis of Yellow and Black Skin in Jinbian Carp (Cyprinus carpio)
Colors are important phenotypic traits for fitness under natural conditions in vertebrates. Previous studies have reported several functional genes and genetic variations of pigmentation, but the formation mechanisms of various skin coloration remained ...
