Sloth Hair as a Novel Source of Fungi with Potent AntiParasitic, Anti-Cancer and Anti-Bacterial Bioactivity
(2014-01-15)
The extraordinary biological diversity of tropical forests harbors a rich chemical diversity with enormous potential as a source of novel bioactive compounds. Of particular interest are new environments for microbial ...
Bioactivity of Fungal Endophytes as a Function of Endophyte Taxonomy and the Taxonomy and Distribution of Their Host Plants
(2013-09-16)
Fungal endophytes – fungi that grow within plant tissues without causing immediate signs of disease – are abundant and diverse producers of bioactive secondary metabolites. Endophytes associated with leaves of tropical ...
Plasmodium falciparum field isolates use complement receptor 1 (CR1) as a receptor for invasion of erythrocytes
(2011-05-18)
AmajorityofPlasmodiumfalciparumstrainsinvadeerythrocytesthroughinteractionswithsialicacid(SA) on glycophorins. However, we recently reported that complement receptor 1 (CR1) is a SA-independent invasionreceptorofmanylabo ...
Blood Stage Plasmodium falciparum Exhibits Biological Responses to Direct Current Electric Fields
(2016-08-18)
The development of resistance to insecticides by the vector of malaria and the increasingly faster appearance of resistance to antimalarial drugs by the parasite can dangerously hamper efforts to control and eradicate the ...
Credneramides A and B: Neuromodulatory Phenethylamine and Isopentylamine Derivatives of a Vinyl Chloride-Containing Fatty Acid from cf. Trichodesmium sp. nov.
(2011-12-12)
Credneramides A (1) and B (2), two vinyl chloride-containing metabolites, were isolated from a Papua New Guinea collection of cf. Trichodesmium sp. nov. and expand a recently described class of vinyl chloride-containing ...
Screening and evaluation of antiparasitic and in vitro anticancer activities of Panamanian endophytic fungi
(2011-03-30)
Many compounds produced by fungi have relevant pharmaceutical applications. The purpose of this study was to collect and isolate endophytic fungi from different regions of Panama and then to test their potential therapeutic ...
Cytotoxic Veraguamides, Alkynyl Bromide-containing cyclic Depsipeptides from the marine Cyanobacterium cf. Osciallatoria margaritifera. EmilyCytotoxic Veraguamides, Alkynyl Bromide-containing cyclic Depsipeptides from the marine Cyanobacterium cf. Osciallatoria margaritifera.
(2011-04-13)
A family of cancer cell cytotoxic cyclodepsipeptides, veraguamides A-C( 1-3) and H-L( 4-8), were isolated from a collection of cf. Oscillatoria margaritifera obtained from the Coiba National Park, Panama, as part of the ...

Volatile organic compounds associated with Plasmodium falciparum infection in vitro
(2017-05-02)
Background: In order to identify new ways to prevent transmission of vector-borne diseases such as malaria, efforts have been made to understand how insects are attracted to humans. Vector-host interaction studies have ...
Imaging mass spectrometry and MS/MS molecular networking reveals chemical interactions among cuticular bacteria and pathogenic fungi associated with fungus-growing ants
(2017-07-17)
The fungus-growing ant-microbe symbiosis is an ideal system to study chemistry-based microbial interactions due to the wealth of microbial interactions described, and the lack of information on the molecules involved ...
