Bionanocomposites employing natural polysaccharides such as alginate and nanoclays, e.g., bentonite, are a promising alternative to developing stabilized biocatalysts used in the pharmaceutical industry due to their ...

Ribavirin is a guanosine analogue commonly used as an antiviral compound for the treatment of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. The biosynthesis of this compound using Geobacillus kaustophilus ATCC 8005 as biocatalyst is ...

Cladribine (2-chloro-2′-deoxy-β-D-adenosine) is a 2′-deoxyadenosine analogue, approved by the FDA for the treatment of hairy cell leukemia and more recently has been proved for therapeutic against many autoimmune diseases ...

Nucleosides constitute an extensive group of natural and chemically modified compounds that display a wide range of structures and activities. Different biocatalysts have been developed for their preparation, but the choice ...

The biocatalyzed synthesis of purine nucleosides and their analogs is a case widely studied due to the high pharmaceutical interest of these compounds, providing the whole-cell biocatalysts, a useful tool for this purpose. ...

Peroxidovanadium(V) and oxidovanadium(IV) compounds have been tested as peroxidase-similar compounds. Their catalytic performance was tested on phenol red and pyrogallol substrates. Bromination kinetic studies revealed ...
