Novel Effective Small-Molecule Antibacterials against Enterococcus Strains.
Enterococcus species cause increasing numbers of infections in hospitals. They contribute to the increasing mortality rates, mostly in patients with comorbidities, who suffer from severe diseases. Enterococcus resistances against most antibiotics have been described, including novel antibiotics. Therefore, there is an ongoing demand for novel types of antibiotics that may overcome bacterial res...
متن کاملtwo small molecule lead compounds as new antifungal agents effective against candida albicans and saccharomyces cerevisiae
background: antifungal drug resistance and few numbers of available drugs limit therapeutic options against fungal infections. the present study was designed to discover new antifungal drugs. m aterials and methods: this study was carried out in two separate steps, that is, in silico lead identification and in vitro assaying of antifungal potential. a structural data file of a ternary complex...
متن کاملA novel engineered peptide, a narrow-spectrum antibiotic, is effective against vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis.
A novel antienterococcal peptide was prepared by fusing the enterococcal cCF10 pheromone to the channel-forming domain of colicin Ia, forming Enterococcus faecalis pheromonicin (PMC-EF). This peptide was bactericidal against vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis (VRE) organisms. Electron microscopy and vital dyes confirmed increased membrane permeability. All mice made bacteremic with VRE ...
متن کاملA novel selective small-molecule PI3K inhibitor is effective against human multiple myeloma in vitro and in vivo
Developing effective therapies against multiple myeloma (MM) is an unresolved challenge. Phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) activation may be associated with tumor progression and drug resistance, and inhibiting PI3K can induce apoptosis in MM cells. Thus, targeting of PI3K is predicted to increase the susceptibility of MM to anticancer therapy. The lead compound of a novel class of PI3K inhi...
متن کاملDesign of a small-molecule entry inhibitor with activity against primary measles virus strains.
The incidence of measles virus (MV) infection has been significantly reduced in many nations through extensive vaccination; however, the virus still causes significant morbidity and mortality in developing countries. Measles outbreaks also occur in some developed countries that have failed to maintain high vaccine coverage rates. While vaccination is essential in preventing the spread of measle...
