Small Molecules with Antifungal Activity for Cryptococcosis
Researchers at the University of Arizona have found 140 novel antifungal compounds with the potential to treat cryptococcosis. These compounds have anti-Cryptococcus neoformans activity with IC50 less than 10 uM. Background: Fungal infections, although not very contagious, have affected 300 million people worldwide. Cryptococcosis is caused by opportunistic...

Broad Spectrum Inhibitors against Viral Methyltransferases
This innovation is a universal high throughput screening (HTS) assay to identify inhibitors targeting a binding site of viral methyltransferases (MTases) with a methyl donor. The inventors developed a fluorescence polarization (FP)-based HTS assay to target reference MTases, an essential enzyme to methylate the 5’-cap of viral RNA genome on SARS-CoV-2...

Allosteric Inhibitors of the Main Protease of SARS-CoV-2
In this report, the SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro was expressed and purified. By using a FRET-based enzymatic assay, the researchers have screened a library consisting of more than 300 different niclosamide derivatives and identified three molecules JMX0286, JMX0301, and JMX0941 as potent allosteric inhibitors against SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro, with IC50 values like that...

Calcimycin as Antifungals
A new antifungal treatment is necessary, as pathogens evolve and develop immunity to current methods. Here, the inventors present calcimycin (CMN) as a novel treatment of cryptococcosis caused by Cryptococcus neoformans (Cne) and likely Cryptococcus gattii (Cga). CMN prevents the protein from continuing to splice. While the current treatment methods...

A Novel High-Throughput Assay for Identifying Zike Virus NS2B-NS3 Protease Inhibitors
This invention includes a novel high-throughput assay to identify orthosteric inhibitors blocking the Zika virus NS2B-NS3 protease. Pathogenic flaviviruses, including Zika, require the NS2B-NS3 protease for viral replication. There is currently an unmet need for specific antiviral therapeutics against the Zika virus. Preliminary screening using the...

PMU-Embedded Analytics for Online Event Detection and Classification in Power Grids
The energy requirement of the world is increasing exponentially every year. With the power demand sites concentrated in the region with the highest population density, energy production sites must be located remotely. This isolation requires lengthy and complicated grids to be designed and manufactured to transmit power over long distances. Grid failures...
