TCA CYCLE DEFECTS AND CANCER: WHEN METABOLISM TUNES REDOX STATE

TCA Cycle Defects and Cancer: When Metabolism Tunes Redox State

Inborn defects of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle enzymes have been known for more than twenty years.Until recently, only recessive mutations were described which, although resulted in severe multisystem syndromes, did not predispose to cancer onset.In the last ten English Girth years, a causal role in carcinogenesis has been documented for inhe

Candidates for Repurposing as Anti-Virulence Agents Based on the Structural Profile Analysis of Microbial Collagenase Inhibitors

The pharmacological inhibition of the bacterial collagenases (BC) enzymes is considered a promising strategy to block the virulence of the bacteria without targeting the selection mechanism leading to drug resistance.The chemical structures of the Clostridium perfringens collagenase A (ColA) inhibitors were analyzed using Bemis-Murcko skeletons, Mu
