Sažetak Surfactin, a bacterial cyclic lipopeptide, is produced by various strains of Bacillus
subtilis and is primarily recognized as one of the most effective biosurfactants. It has the …

Hydrophobic porphyrins are potentially interesting molecules for the photodynamic therapy
(PDT) of solid cancers or ocular vascularization diseases. Their pharmaceutical …

The use of LC–MS for bioanalysis of pharmaceuticals is entering its third decade and may
be considered to be a mature technology. In many respects this is true, considering the …

In this article we show a variety of biomass product transformations through catalysis by both
bulk and supported heteropolycompounds. The biomass sources considered include …

The immunosuppressive agent Cyclosporin A (CsA) has very poor solubility in water and, in
consequence, non-aqueous formulations have been developed for its intravenous …

The present study deals with the synthesis and characterization of radiopaque polymers
which could, when solubilized in an appropriate water-miscible solvent, be useful embolic …

Organic–inorganic hybrid catalyst prepared from organic ammonium salt and heteropoly
acid is reported as highly active and selective heterogeneous catalyst for the condensation …

The pharmacological testing of natural products can often be hampered by the poor
solubility of such compounds in non‐toxic solvents. There is thus a need for a suitable agent …

A quantitative assay for measuring surfactin in culture supernatants was developed based
on its ability to cause hemolysis. The presence of 145 ml ethanol l− 1 at 37° C in reaction …

Along with the successful discovery of paclitaxel as an anticancer drug, natural products
have drawn great attention in drug discovery. Recently, andrographolide (AND) from …
