Background Serotonin (5-HT) is a biogenic monoamine with diverse functions in multiple human organs and tissues. During pregnancy, tightly regulated levels of 5-HT in the fetoplacental unit are critical for proper placental ...
Tuberculosis is the number one killer of infectious diseases caused by a single microbe, namely Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). The success rate of curing this infection is decreasing due to emerging antimicrobial ...
Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is known for its multifunctionality in several pathogenic bacteria. Our previously reported data suggest that the GAPDH homologue of Francisella tularensis, GapA, might also ...

Wound healing is a complex process; therefore, new dressings are frequently required to facilitate it. In this study, porous bacterial levan-based sponges containing cannabis oil (Lev@CBDs) were prepared and fully ...
In this study, we have focused on a multiparametric microbiological analysis of the antistaphylococcal action of the iodinated imine BH77, designed as an analogue of rafoxanide. Its antibacterial activity against five ...
One undescribed indole alkaloid together with twenty-two known compounds have been isolated from aerial parts of Vinca minor L. (Apocynaceae). The chemical structures of the isolated alkaloids were determined by a combination ...
The ever-increasing demands of modern medicine drive the development of novel drug delivery materials. In particular, nanofibers are promising for such materials due to their favorable properties. However, most development ...
Background: Increasing rates of acquired resistance have justified the critical need for novel antimicrobial drugs. One viable concept is the modification of known drugs. Methods & results: 21 mafenide-based compounds were ...
Background: The development of novel antimicrobial drugs is an essential part of combatting the uprising of antimicrobial resistance. Proper hit-to-lead development is crucially needed. Methods & results: We present a ...
Background: Molecular hybridization and isostery are proven approaches in medicinal chemistry, and as such we used them to design novel compounds that we investigated as potential antimycobacterials to combat drug-resistant ...
