Exploring Bioactive Metabolites From Fusarium falciforme and Aspergillus terreus Isolated From Protease‐Rich Fruits: Antifungal, Antitrypanosomal, and Enzymatic Inhibitory Activities

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
Metabolites from fungi isolated from protease rich‐fruits displayed antifungal, antitrypanosomal and enzymatic inhibitory activities. ABSTRACT Fungal secondary metabolites display remarkable chemical diversity and biological potential, with applications in agriculture and pharmaceuticals. This study isolated and characterized bioactive metabolites from

The cell surface of Trypanosoma cruzi [PDF]

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1984
The cell surface of trypanosomatids is formed by the plasma membrane and a layer of sub-pellicular microtubules which are connected to the plasma membrane. The plasma membrane is composed by proteins, lipids and carbohydrates which form the glycocalix.

The burden of congenital Chagas disease and implementation of molecular diagnostic tools in Latin America [PDF]

, 2018
It is estimated that between 8000 and 15 000 Trypanosoma cruzi infected babies are born every year to infected mothers in Chagas disease endemic countries. Currently, poor access to and performance of the current diagnostic algorithm, based on microscopy

Recent Advances in Isatin–Thiazole Hybrids: Synthesis, Structural Design, and Biological Application

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Isatin–thiazole hybrids are considered privileged chemical scaffolds due to their broad spectrum of pharmacological properties, making them attractive candidates for drug development. As a result, isatin–thiazole derivatives have emerged as a prominent class of hybrid heterocycles and have been the focus of extensive research in recent years ...

High prevalence of Trypanosoma cruzi infection in shelter dogs from southern Louisiana, USA

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Chagas disease is a zoonotic disease caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. The role of dogs as sentinels has been proposed in multiple regions, as they are a domestic reservoir for T. cruzi.

Bioactivity profiles of progressively ring‐fluorinated cyclohexyl motifs in the WKYMVm peptide as formylpeptide FPR2 agonists and in keto‐piperazines as anti‐trypanosome agents.

ChemBioChem, Accepted Article.
A series of all‐cis ring fluorinated cyclohexylalanines with progressively increasing levels of vicinal fluorines, as well as 4‐fluorophenylalanine and pentafluoroarylphenylalanine were introduced into the WKYMVm peptide in place of its tyrosine residue, for assays against the G‐protein coupled formylpeptide receptor, FPR2.

New compound sets identified from high throughput phenotypic screening against three kinetoplastid parasites:an open resource [PDF]

, 2015
Using whole-cell phenotypic assays, the GlaxoSmithKline high-throughput screening (HTS) diversity set of 1.8 million compounds was screened against the three kinetoplastids most relevant to human disease, i.e.

Beyond Histones: Unveiling the Functional Roles of Protein Acetylation in Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes

Cell Biology International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lysine acetylation plays a crucial role in cellular processes and is found across various evolutionary organisms. Recent advancements in proteomic techniques revealed the presence of acetylation in thousands of non‐histone proteins. Here, we conducted extensive meta‐analysis of 48 acetylomes spanning diverse organisms, including archaea ...

Anti-Trypanosoma cruzi action of a new benzofuran derivative based on amiodarone structure [PDF]

, 2018
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.
