I'm excited to share some of the most significant results from my doctoral research, presented in the article titled "Synthesis and activity of benzimidazole N-Acylhydrazones against Trypanosoma cruzi, Leishmania amazonensis and Leishmania infantum". In this study, we focused on the design, synthesis, and cytotoxic evaluation of a series of benzimidazole N-acylhydrazones against strains of Trypanosoma cruzi (Y and Tulahuen) and species of Leishmania (L. amazonensis and L. infantum). The highlight of our research was the compound (E)-N'-((5-Nitrofuran-2-yl)methylene)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-2-carbohydrazide, which demonstrated significant activity against both trypomastigote and amastigote forms (Tulahuen strain), with an IC50/120 h of 0.033 μM and a selectivity index (SI) of 7680. This compound exhibited 46 times greater potency than benznidazole (IC50/120 h = 1.520 μM, SI = 1390). Another promising compound was (E)-N'-(2-Hydroxybenzylidene)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-2-carbohydrazide, which showed significant activity against trypomastigote and amastigote forms (Tulahuen strain), with an IC50/120 h of 3.600 μM and an SI of 14.70. However, its efficacy against L. infantum and L. amazonensis was comparatively lower. These findings provide valuable insights for the development of more effective treatments against Trypanosoma cruzi, contributing to the fight against neglected diseases such as Chagas disease and Leishmaniasis. I'm grateful to all my colleagues and mentors who supported me throughout this scientific journey. I am eager to continue exploring new frontiers in combating these diseases and collaborating with other researchers dedicated to improving global health. #chagasdisease #Leishmaniasis #neglecteddiseases Read the full articule at the link. https://lnkd.in/dV-rBQH7.

Prior research has long established the existence of microbiomes in the gut and skin, but could there also be a structured microbial community in our bloodstream? 🤔 Seeking concrete proof, researchers at the Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS) and Nanyang Technological University Singapore conducted a comprehensive analysis of sequencing data from Phase I of the National Precision Medicine Strategy—examining microbial signatures from nearly 10,000 participants. 🔍 The team detected 117 microbial species which mainly originated from the gut, mouth and genitourinary microbiomes, contrary to claims regarding a native blood microbiome in healthy individuals. However, A*STAR scholar Cedric Tan notes that further investigation is still necessary: “Our findings do not exclude the possibility that there might be a more persistent community of blood microbes in patients with chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease or diabetes.” Follow the link in the comments section to view the complete article ⬇️ --- #scicomm #science #technology #STEM #research #innovation #ASTAR #GIS #HHP #microbiome #sequencing #microbiology
