Schrankia leptocara is a medicinal species use traditionally in Benin to treat malaria. A previous study showed interesting antimalarial activity against two strains of Plasmodium falciparum. Phytoche
Facile synthesis of cyclohexanediones and dialkylresorcinols - bioactive natural products from entomopathogenic bacteria [Short communication] (Publications)
A synthesis for the recently identified, widespread bacterial natural product classes of dialkylresorcinols and cyclohexanediones was developed. The synthesis route is similar to the biosynthesis rout
Mobile phone base stations and early childhood cancers: case-control study (Publications)
