Hybrid Molecules as Efficient Drugs against Multidrug‐Resistant Malaria Parasites

ChemMedChem, EarlyView.
Among hybrid molecules currently developed as antimalarial drug candidates, emoquine‐1 exhibits high activity against all the multidrug‐resistant Plasmodium strains tested up to now, including artemisinin‐resistant quiescent parasites, critical parameters for promising antimalarial drugs. It is also curative in mouse malaria.

Effect of p-chlorophenoxyisobutyrate (CPIB) fed to rats on hepatic biosynthesis and catabolism of ubiquinone

Journal of Lipid Research, 1968
The effect of p-chlorophenoxyisobutyrate (CPIB) feeding on cholesterol and ubiquinone metabolism in rats was investigated. The results obtained from acetate-l-14C and mevalonate-2-14C incorporation studies both in vivo and in vitro confirm the results of

Form follows function -- how PufX increases the efficiency of the light-harvesting complexes of Rhodobacter sphaeroides [PDF]

arXiv, 2006
Some species of purple bacteria as, e.g., Rhodobacter sphaeroides contain the protein PufX. Concurrently, the light harvesting complexes 1 (LH1) form dimers of open rings. In mutants without PufX, the LH1s are closed rings and photosynthesis breaks down, because the ubiquinone exchange at the reaction center is blocked. Thus, PufX is regarded essential

Electrochemical Studies of Benzoquinone, Hydrobenzoquinone, Diphenoquinone and Hydrodiphenoquinone‐Based Compounds

Electrochemical Science Advances, EarlyView.
The advantages of organic redox mediators over traditional inorganic counterparts are availability; they may in the future enlarge their applicability in all systems involving electron transfer during electrochemical processes. Several quinones, diphenoquinones and respective reduced forms, hydrobenzoquinones and hydrodiphenoquinones, were synthesized,
