Half the world's population is at risk of developing a malaria infection, which is caused by parasites of the genus . Currently, resistance has been identified to all clinically available antimalarials, highlighting an urgent need to develop novel compounds and better understand common mechanisms of resistance. We previously identified a novel tetrahydro-β-carboline compound, PRC1590, which potently kills the malaria parasite.

Nonclassical -glycosides, distinguished by their unique glycosidic bond connection mode, represent a promising avenue for the development of carbohydrate-based drugs. However, the accessibility of nonclassical -glycosides hinders broader investigations into their structural features and modes of action. Herein, we present the first example of Pd-catalyzed stereospecific glycosylation of nonclassical anomeric stannanes with aryl or vinyl halides.

Due to the low stability and high cost of some natural enzymes, nanozymes have been developed as enzyme-imitating nanomaterials. Single-atom nanozymes are a class of nanozymes with metal centers that mimic the structure of metal-based natural enzymes. Herein, Cu-N-C single-atom nanozyme (SAN) is synthesized with excellent peroxidase- and enhanced oxidase-like activities to mimic the action of natural galactose oxidase.

d-lactate dehydrogenases are known to be expressed by prokaryotes and by eukaryotic invertebrates, and over the years the functional and structural features of some bacterial representatives of this enzyme ensemble have been investigated quite in detail. Remarkably, a human gene coding for a putative d-lactate dehydrogenase (DLDH) was identified and characterized, disclosing the occurrence of alternative splicing of its primary transcript. This translates into the expression of two human DLDH (hDLDH) isoforms, the molecular mass of which is expected to differ by 2.

Highly ameliorated phytochemicals from plants are recognized to have numerous beneficial effects on human health. However, obtaining secondary metabolites directly from wild plants is posing a great threat to endangered plant species due to their over exploitation. Moreover, due to complicated structure and stereospecificity chemical synthesis of these compounds is a troublesome procedure.
