Selective IRAP Inhibitors from the Bestatin Scaffold
2026-08-17
The reference study develops a stereocontrolled route to α-hydroxy-β-amino acid derivatives of Bestatin and identifies a cell-active, low-nanomolar inhibitor of insulin-regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP). Enzyme profiling and X-ray structures show that P1 side-chain design and interactions with the GAMEN loop can produce substantial selectivity over related M1 aminopeptidases.

IAA-Driven Ferroptosis in Rice Blast Conidia
2026-08-17
A 2026 Molecular Plant Pathology study shows that fungus-derived indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) promotes ferroptotic death in developing Magnaporthe oryzae conidia by influencing iron accumulation, lipid peroxidation, phosphatidylethanolamine metabolism, and autophagy. The findings connect fungal hormone production with appressorium development and rice blast pathogenicity, while identifying lipid metabolism as a potential intervention point.
