Butyrolactol A potentiates caspofungin efficacy against resistant fungi via phospholipid flippase inhibition

The paper identifies butyrolactol A as a compound that enhances caspofungin efficacy against resistant fungi by inhibiting phospholipid flippase, thereby improving antifungal treatment.

Chemoproteomic Profiling of C. albicans for Characterization of Anti-fungal Kinase Inhibitors

The paper uses chemoproteomic profiling to identify selective anti-fungal kinase inhibitors targeting C. albicans CK1 homologs.

Diverse Plant-Parasitic Nematodes are Selectively Killed by Oxadiazole Thioether Pro-Nematicides

The paper discovers a pro-nematicide scaffold, Cyprocide, that selectively kills diverse plant-parasitic nematodes through P450 enzyme activation, offering a potential solution for sustainable nematode management.
