Abstract
The manipulation of glycosylation, mainly sialylation, holds enormous potential for understanding the biological functions of glycoproteins and glycolipids to treat many diseases. The existing knowledge in the field of glycobiology is exploited by glycotherapeutics for combating protozoan diseases. This review focuses on the development of novel glycobiological therapeutic strategies in the field of protozoan infections.
Keywords: Anti-O-acetylated sialoglycoprotein specific antibodies, anti-α-gal antibodies, carbohydrate engineering, drug delivery, engineering inhibitors of glycoproteins, glycotherapeutics, glycovaccine, immunotoxin, metabolite oligosaccharide engineering, oligosaccharide engineering

Biodiversity, Ethnopharmacology, Biotechnology, Bioclimatology and Scientific Education Applied to Toxicology and One Health
Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) are represented by a group of distinct illnesses that affect the most vulnerable segment of the population, negatively impacting the Economy and Public Health. For example, like snakebite, leishmaniasis disproportionately affects vulnerable populations in tropical and subtropical regions. The search for safe drugs against various diseases ...read more
Bioprospecting of Natural Products as Sources of New Multitarget Therapies
According to the Convention on Biological Diversity, bioprospecting is the exploration of biodiversity and indigenous knowledge to develop commercially valuable products for pharmaceutical and other applications. Bioprospecting involves searching for useful organic compounds in plants, fungi, marine organisms, and microorganisms. Natural products traditionally constituted the primary source of more than ...read more
