Abstract:
A Streptomycete bacteria associated with the Southern Pine Beetle (SPB) has been found to synthesize a potent antifungal compound. The spectrum of activity of the isolated antifungal compound is similar to that of amphotericin, and the compound is approximately three-times more potent on a weight basis.
Abstract:
The invention provides methods and compositions for inhibiting CD 38 activity, and methods of treating or preventing various disorders associated with CD38 activity.
Abstract:
One aspect of the present invention relates to a polymeric material. The invention also relates to a method of making the aforementioned polymer comprising extracting a fungus, wherein the fungus is, for example, an endophytic fungus, such as CR873. The invention further relates to a bioplastic composition comprising the aforementioned polymer.

Abstract:
Inhibitors of dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) for the Plasmodium enzyme have been identified and characterized. The inhibitors have high specificity, submicromolar efficacy against cultured parasite strains, exhibit drug-like properties, and are not overtly cytotoxic.
