Biologically Active Peptides from Venoms: Applications in Antibiotic Resistance, Cancer, and Beyond [Review]
(MDPI, 2022-12-06)
[Abstract] Peptides are potential therapeutic alternatives against global diseases, such as antimicrobial-resistant infections and cancer. Venoms are a rich source of bioactive peptides that have evolved over time to act ...
Evaluation of the in Vitro and in Vivo Efficacy of Ruthenium Polypyridyl Compounds Against Breast Cancer
(MDPI, 2021-08-18)
[Abstract] The clinical success of cisplatin, carboplatin, and oxaliplatin has sparked the interest of medicinal inorganic chemistry to synthesize and study compounds with non-platinum metal centers. Despite Ru(II)–polypyridyl ...
Indium(III)-Catalyzed Stereoselective Synthesis of Tricyclic Frameworks by Cascade Cycloisomerization Reactions of Aryl 1,5-Enynes
(American Chemical Society, 2021-06-25)
[Abstract] The indium(III)-catalyzed cascade cycloisomerization reaction of 1,5-enynes with pendant aryl nucleophiles is reported. The reaction proceeds in cascade under mild reaction conditions, using InI₃ (5 mol %) as a ...
Cytotoxic furanoditerpenes from the sponge Spongia tubulifera collected in the Mexican Caribbean
(MDPI, 2019-07-16)
[Abstract] Two new spongian furanoditerpenes, 3β-hydroxyspongia-13(16),14-dien-2-one (1) and 19-dehydroxy-spongian diterpene 17 (2), along with five known terpenes, the spongian furanoditerpenes 9-nor-3-hydroxyspongia-3, ...
Subcellular duplex DNA and G‐quadruplex interaction profiling of a hexagonal PtII metallacycle
(Wiley, 2019-04-19)
[Abstract] Metal‐driven self‐assembly afforded a multitude of fascinating supramolecular coordination complexes (SCCs) with applications as catalysts, host–guest, and stimuli‐responsive systems. However, the interest in ...
Near Room Temperature Dielectric Transition in the Perovskite Formate Framework [(CH₃)₂NH₂][Mg(HCOO)₃]
(The Royal Society of Chemistry, 2012-05)
[Abstract] We report that the hybrid organic–inorganic compound [(CH₃)₂NH₂][Mg(HCOO)₃] shows a marked dielectric transition around Tₜ ∼ 270 K, associated to a structural phase transition from SG R[3 with combining macron]c ...
Light-Emitting Probes for Labeling Peptides
(Cell Press, 2020-11-25)
[Abstract] Peptides are versatile biopolymers composed of 2–100 amino acid residues that present a wide range of biological functions and constitute potential therapies for numerous diseases, partly due to their ability ...
Absolute Configuration by Vibrational Circular Dichroism of Anti-inflammatory Macrolide Briarane Diterpenoids From the Gorgonian Briareum Asbestinum
(Springer Nature, 2021-01-12)
[Abstract] The four new briarane diterpenoids 2-butyryloxybriarane B-3 (2), 9-acetylbriarenolide S (3), briarenolide W (4), and 12-isobriarenolide P (5), along with briarane B-3 (1) and the five known diterpenes 6–10 were ...
Relative Configuration of Micrograms of Natural Compounds Using Proton Residual Chemical Shift Anisotropy
(Nature, 2020-09-01)
[Abstract] 3D molecular structure determination is a challenge for organic compounds or natural products available in minute amounts. Proton/proton and proton/carbon correlations yield the constitution. J couplings and ...
In-Depth Analysis of the Role of the Acinetobactin Cluster in the Virulence of Acinetobacter baumannii
(Frontiers, 2021-10-05)
[Abstract] Acinetobacter baumannii is a multidrug-resistant pathogen that represents a serious threat to global health. A. baumannii possesses a wide range of virulence factors that contribute to the bacterial pathogenicity. ...
