Novel synthetic route for antimalarial benzo[a]phenoxazine derivative SSJ-183 and two active metabolites (Publications)
A productive synthesis of benzo[a]phenoxazine derivative SSJ-183 (1), a promising lead for antimalarial agents, was developed using a one pot procedure. Furthermore, N-deethylated metabolite 3 and bis
KAF156 is an antimalarial clinical candidate with potential for use in prophylaxis, treatment and prevention of disease transmission (Publications)
Renewed global efforts toward malaria eradication have highlighted the need for novel antimalarial agents with activity against multiple stages of the parasite life-cycle. We have previously reported
Evaluation of Turkish seaweeds for antiprotozoal, antimycobacterial and cytotoxic activities (Publications)
As part of our continuing research on seaweeds, crude MeOH extracts of two green, three brown and six red algae collected from Marmara, Black, Aegean and Mediterranean Seas were screened. Four parasit
Atopic conditions and brain tumor risk in children and adolescents: an international case-control study (CEFALO) (Publications)
BACKGROUND: A number of epidemiological studies indicate an inverse association between atopy and brain tumors in adults, particularly gliomas. We investigated the association between atopic disorders
Synthesis and antimalarial testing of neocryptolepine analogues: addition of ester function in SAR study of 2,11-disubstituted indolo[2,3-b]quinolines (Publications)
This report describes the synthesis, and in vitro and in vivo antimalarial evaluations of certain ester-modified neocryptolepine (5-methyl-5H-indolo[2,3-b]quinoline) derivatives. The modifications wer
Fabclavines: bioactive peptide-polyketide-polyamino hybrids from <em>Xenorhabdus</em> (Publications)
The structure of the fabclavines-unique mixtures of nonribosomally derived peptide-polyketide hybrids connected to an unusual polyamino moiety-has been solved by detailed NMR and MS methods. These com
Development of a simple microarray for genotyping HIV-1 drug resistance mutations in the reverse transcriptase gene in rural Tanzania (Publications)
OBJECTIVE: Aiming at a simple, inexpensive and robust tool for HIV-1 drug resistance genotyping during antiretroviral therapy (ART) we developed and validated a microarray-based detection of 25 drug r
Exposure to radio-frequency electromagnetic fields from broadcast transmitters and risk of childhood cancer: a census-based cohort study (Publications)
We investigated the association between exposure to radio-frequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMFs) from broadcast transmitters and childhood cancer. First, we conducted a time-to-event analysis incl
Growth losses in Swiss forests caused by ozone: epidemiological data analysis of stem increment of <em>Fagus sylvatica L.</em> and <em>Picea... (Publications)
The estimate of growth losses by ozone exposure of forest trees is a significant part in current C sequestration calculations and will also be important in future modeling. It is therefore important t
