Synthesis, biological activity and physicochemical properties evaluation of antiplasmodial pyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazoles by Disraeli, Chiara

“…Aqueous solubility, and for selected compounds, microsomal metabolic stability, were also evaluated. The most potent compounds against the asexual blood stage (ABS) parasites belonged to SAR3 series with the most active derivative being 19 (IC50 (PfNF54) = 0.156 μM), which combined the electron-withdrawing properties of both p-CN and m-CF3. …”

Camera traps as sensor networks for space-time exploration of terrestrial mammal communities by Bussière, Elsa Marion Sylvie

“…Using kernel density functions with descriptive and multivariate statistics, this chapter showed that most mammal species responded to the ecological variability brought about by seasonality by adjusting their diel activity rhythms between winter and summer, resulting in a reduction of time exposure to a physiologically stressful environment caused by high temperatures in summer. …”
