Development of trackable metal-based drugs: new generation of therapeutic agents
2016
International audience; In medicinal chemistry, the aim is not only to conceive ever more efficient molecules, but also to understand their mechanism of action. In very recent years, a new promising strategy was developed to tackle this issue: the conception of trackable therapeutic agents. Metal-based drugs are ideal to exploit this expanding area of research.
Trait Variation between Two Wild Specimens of Pleurotus ostreatus and Their Progeny in the Context of Usefulness in Nematode Control
2022
Pleurotus ostreatus is one of the most widespread mushrooms in the world. It is a valuable and widely cultivated edible mushroom with nematicidal properties. The mycelium of this mushroom produces a toxin that paralyzes nematodes, after which the nematode becomes infected with the filament, resulting in its death. This feature can be put to practical use as a natural nematicidal agent. In this paper, we have described studies on two wild strains of P. ostreatus (PO1, PO2) and the monokaryotic progeny obtained from their fruiting bodies. Monokaryons were crossed with each other within the progeny of one strain (PO1xPO1; PO2xPO2) and of two different strains (PO2xPO1). The growth conditions, …
