Autori: Davorka Repac Antić, Bruno Kovač, Marko Kolenc, Irena Brčić Karačonji, Ivana Gobin, Mirna Petković Didović Sažetak radaEnterococcus faecalis, responsible for a majority of human and nosocomial enterococcal infections, is intrinsically resistant to aminoglycoside antibiotics (such as gentamicin, GEN), which must be used in a combined therapy to be effective. Nitroxoline (NTX) is an old …

Autori: Milena Mlakić, Tena Čadež, Goran Šinko, Irena Škorić, Zrinka Kovarik Sažetak radaNew furan, thiophene, and triazole oximes were synthesized through several-step reaction paths to investigate their potential for the development of central nervous systems (CNS)-active and cholinesterase-targeted therapeutics in organophosphorus compound (OP) poisonings. Treating patients with acute OP poisoning is still a challenge despite the …

Autori: Dora Kolić, Goran Šinko Sažetak radaTriazoles are compounds with various biological activities, including fungicidal action. They became popular through cholinesterase studies after the successful synthesis of the dual binding femtomolar triazole inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase (AChE, EC 3.1.1.7) by Sharpless et al. via in situ click chemistry. Here, we evaluate the anticholinesterase effect of the first isopropanol triazole …
