Promoting assembly and bundling of FtsZ as a strategy to inhibit bacterial cell division: a new approach for developing novel antibacterial drugs.

12 Sep 2009 FtsZ plays an essential role in bacterial cell division. We have used the assembly of FtsZ as a screen to find antibacterial agents with a novel mechanism of action. The effects of 81 compounds of 29 different structural scaffolds on FtsZ assembly ... Read more...

Mechanism of action of novel naphthofuranquinones on rat liver microsomal peroxidation.

6 Sep 2009 In order to elucidate the effect on mammal systems of new derivatives from 2-hydroxy-3-allyl-naphthoquinone, alpha-iodinated naphthofuranquinone (NPPN-3223), beta-iodinated naphthofuranquinone (NPPN-3222) and beta-methyl naphthofuranquinone ... Read more...

Reactivity of neutral Mo(S2C6H4)3 in aqueous media: an alternative functional model of sulfite oxidase.

5 Sep 2009 The kinetics of the reaction of neutral [Mo(S2C6H4)3] with hydrogen sulfite to produce the anionic Mo(V) complex, [Mo(S2C6H4)3]-, and sulfate have been investigated. It has been shown that [Mo(S2C6H4)3] acts as the electron-proton sink in the ... Read more...
