Host defense antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising lead molecules with which to develop antibiotics against drug-resistant bacterial pathogens. Thanatin, an inducible antimicrobial peptide involved in the host defense of insects, is gaining considerable attention in the generation of novel classes of antibiotics. Thanatin or thanatin-based analog peptides are extremely potent in killing bacterial pathogens in the Enterobacteriaceae family, including drug-resistant strains of and .

Background: Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare glandular malignancy, commonly originating in salivary glands of the head and neck. Given its protracted growth, ACC is usually diagnosed in advanced stage. Treatment of ACC is limited to surgery and/or adjuvant radiotherapy, which often fails to prevent disease recurrence, and no FDA-approved targeted therapies are currently available.

Daphnane diterpenoids occurring in plants of the Thymelaeaceae are the focus of natural product drug discovery because of the wide range of their therapeutically biological activities. Considering the limited occurrence in some plants of the Thymelaeaceae, it is imperative to design a strategy for the target isolation of daphnane diterpenoids. In this study, a strategy was developed to filter the data using MZmine, generate the molecular network using the Global Natural Product Social Molecular Network Platform (GNPS), and determine the retention time of target compounds using MS-DIAL.

Trophoblast cell-surface antigen 2 (TROP 2) has re-emerged as a promising biomarker in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), with high overexpression in many TNBC cases. However, despite its potential and approval as an antibody-drug-conjugate for TNBC treatment, TROP 2-targeted delivery systems are currently underexplored. Therefore, this study was aimed at exploiting the potential of TROP 2 targeting by encapsulating metformin (Met), an antidiabetic drug associated with tumor growth inhibitory properties, inside liposomes decorated with TROP 2-targeting single-chain variable fragments (scFvs).

Many indigenous plants of the Philippines, including essential oil-bearing species, remain phytochemically and pharmacologically unexplored. In this study, the chemical composition of leaf essential oils (EOs) hydrodistilled from (Lauraceae) and (Piperaceae) was determined using dual-column (HP-5MS/DB-WAX)/dual-detector gas chromatography and mass spectrometry analysis. Caryophyllene oxide (15.
