Synthesis, inhibition potency, binding mode, and antiprotozoal activities of fluorescent inhibitors of trypanothione reductase based on... (Publications)
Trypanothione reductase (TR) is a flavoenzyme unique to trypanosomatid parasites and a target for lead discovery programs. Various inhibitor scaffolds have emerged in the past, exhibiting moderate aff
Pan-dengue virus detection by PCR for travelers returning from the tropics (Publications)
We performed dengue virus (DENV) serology and quantitative real-time pan-DENV reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) on 186 sera of 171 patients returning from the tropics. DENV loads significantly decrea
Opposite effects of CD14/-260 on serum IgE levels in children raised in different environments (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Most complex diseases are the result of interactions between polymorphisms in the genome and environmental exposures. OBJECTIVE: We sought to investigate the previously reported associatio
The structure and antimalarial activity of dispiro-1,2,4,5-tetraoxanes derived from (+)-dihydrocarvone (Publications)
An unsaturated dispiro 1,2,4,5-tetraoxane formed by peroxidation of (+)-dihydrocarvone was converted into four structurally diverse derivatives. X-ray crystallographic analysis shows that the structur
