The fermentative model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been extensively used to study the genetic basis of stress response and homeostasis. In this study, we performed quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis of the high-temperature fermentation trait of the progeny from the mating of the S. cerevisiae natural isolate BCC39850 (haploid#17) and the laboratory strain CEN.

Fabrication data of two light-responsive systems to release an antileishmanial drug activated by infrared photothermal heating.

Data Brief

April 2022

Departamento de Química Inorgânica, Universidade Federal Fluminense, Campus do Valonguinho, Niterói-RJ, 24020-150, Brazil.

The data provided in this study are related to the fabrication of two light-responsive systems based on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) functionalized with the polymers Pluronic P123 (P123), rGO-P123, and polyethyleneimine (PEI), rGO-PEI, and loaded with amphotericin B (AmB), an antileishmanial drug. Here are described the experimental design to obtain the systems and characterization methods, such as Attenuated Total Reflectance-Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), Raman Spectroscopy, Powder X-Ray Diffraction, Transmission Electron Microscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy and Thermogravimetric Analyses. Also, AmB spectroscopy studies are described.

Acanthamoeba spp. are the causative agents of a sight-threatening infection of the cornea known as Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK). Amphotericin B - deoxycholate (AB) is used in the treatment of infectious keratitis, however, its topical administration has side effects as blepharitis, iritis, and painful instillation.

The poor penetration of anti-fungal agents into the cornea through the intact epithelium layer makes it difficult to treat acute fungal corneal infections. Herein, we developed Amphotret (amphotericin B) antifungal drug contained polycaprolactone-FeO (PCL-FO) magnetic nanofibers (MNFs) using the electrospinning technique. These MNFs generate heat in the presence of AC magnetic field (AMF) and release drug upon heating.
