Article Synopsis
  • Camptothecin (CAM) is a complex plant-derived compound known for its antitumor properties and is part of a family of monoterpene indole alkaloids (MIAs) that includes other anticancer drugs like vinblastine and vincristine.
  • Researchers have established a new in vivo enzyme assay to characterize two key enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of MIAs, focusing on the transformation of nepetalactol to 7-deoxyloganic acid, which is difficult to detect due to the instability of intermediates.
  • The study identified and characterized two cytochrome P450 enzymes and two glycosyltransferases from Camptotheca acuminata, which are responsible for key enzym

Formaldehyde is one of the most dangerous air pollutants, which can cause sick building syndrome. Thus, it is very crucial to precisely determine formaldehyde with a low cost and simple operation. In this paper, a smartphone-based microfluidic colorimetric sensor is devised for gaseous formaldehyde determination with high sensitivity and selectivity.
