The unusual role of CO as a signaling molecule in several physiological pathways has spurred research in the area of synthesizing new CO-releasing molecules (CORMs) as exogenous CO donors. Auxiliary control on CO delivery can be achieved if CO can
The cytochrome P450 RauA from Rhodococcus erythropolis JCM 6824 catalyzes the hydroxylation of a nitrogen atom in the quinolone ring of aurachin, thereby conferring strong antibiotic activity on the aurachin alkaloid. Here, we report the crystal structure of RauA in
Potency with potential: 2-Phenoxy-nicotinamides were identified as potent agonists at the GPBAR1 receptor, a target in the treatment of obesity, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Extensive structure-activity relationship studies supported by homology modeling and docking resulted in the identification

Malaria, one of the three most important life-threatening infectious diseases, is recommended to be treated with ACT (artemisinin combination therapy) against which Plasmodium falciparum already displayed resistance. Two artemisinin-4-amino-quinoline hybrid-dimers (1 and 2), previously synthesized, possessed low nanomolar in vitro
