Enzyme-triggered disassembly of dendrimer-based amphiphilic nanocontainers.

12 Oct 2009 We demonstrate a new enzyme-induced disassembly of amphiphilic nanocontainers based on dendrimers. Disassembly and the ensuing release of noncovalently bound guest molecules are of great interest because of their implications in areas such as drug ... Read more...

Esterase-mediated resistance to pyrethroids in field populations of Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) from Central Africa.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Evolution of pyrethroid resistance in the cotton bollworm Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) threatens continued cotton production in Central Africa. Dose-response bioassays were conducted on area-wide collection of ... Read more...

Acyloxymethyl esterification of nodularin-R and microcystin-LA produces inactive protoxins that become reactivated and produce apoptosis inside intact cells.

22 Sep 2009 We report the esterification of the carboxyl groups of the cyclic peptide toxins nodularin-R and microcystin-LA to produce stable diacetoxymethyl and dipropionyloxymethyl ester derivatives. The derivatives had no activity but were reactivated upon ... Read more...
