Protection of naringenin chalcone by a pathogenesis‐related 10 protein promotes flavonoid biosynthesis in Marchantia polymorpha

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 247, Issue 1, Page 233-248, July 2025.
Summary Pathogenesis‐related (PR) proteins are diverse stress‐ or pathogen‐induced proteins. Some are associated with specialised metabolism, including proposed functions for anthocyanin biosynthesis. However, data are limited to a few angiosperm species, and the mode(s) of action are uncertain.

Characterization of Opioid Agonist Morphine Derivatives with Emphasis on Medicinal Chemistry

open access: yesChemMedChem, Volume 20, Issue 4, February 16, 2025.
The aim of synthesizing new opioid compounds is to produce drugs that are more potent, less addictive, and have fewer side effects, such as respiratory depression and constipation. To achieve this, we evaluated the basicity, lipophilicity, and permeability of 30 opioid compounds, including 11 newly synthesized ones, to better understand the ...
