Transcriptomic analysis of marine endophytic fungi extract identifies highly enriched anti-fungal fractions targeting cancer pathways in HepG2 cell lines
Ethel J. S. Blessie,Wasco Wruck,Benaiah Annertey Abbey,Audrey Ncube,Nina Graffmann,Vincent Amarh,Patrick K. Arthur,James Adjaye,James Adjaye +8 more
TL;DR: The purified fractions from MEF investigated in this study showed antifungal activity against C. albicans and S. cerevisiae alone or both and reduced proliferation of the human liver cancer cell line HepG2 implicating regulation of several cancer- and metabolism-related pathways.

Sperm parameters and mitochondrial DNA sequence variants among patients at a fertility clinic in Ghana.
TL;DR: The mtDNA point mutations detected in the selected genes that were analysed were mostly transition mutations as discussed by the authors, which might be critical for the development of abnormal sperm phenotypes underlying male infertility in the Ghanaian population.
DNA double-strand break formation and repair as targets for novel antibiotic combination chemotherapy.
Vincent Amarh,Patrick K. Arthur +1 more
TL;DR: A hypothetical chemotherapeutic strategy that can be explored for minimizing development of resistance to novel DSB-inducing compounds is highlighted and the possibility of utilizing bacterial DSB repair pathways as targets for the discovery and development of novel antibiotics is highlighted.

In vitro antibacterial activities of selected TB drugs in the presence of clay minerals against multidrug-resistant strain of Mycobacterium smegmatis
Patrick K. Arthur,Vincent Amarh,Ethel J. S. Blessie,Rebecca Yeboah,Benjamin W. Kankpeyeng,Samuel N. Nkumbaan,Elvis K. Tiburu +6 more
TL;DR: The activity of ampicillin and isoniazid against the MDR strain in the presence of the healing clay suggest that healing clay might be a useful synergy for these antibiotics against MDR Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Wood-decaying fungi found in Ghana: A rich source of new anti-infective compounds
Samuel Yaw Aboagye,Vincent Amarh,Paul A. Lartey,Patrick K. Arthur +3 more

TL;DR: This study suggests that a significant proportion of wood-decaying fungi in Ghana produce antimicrobial compounds which could be potential sources of novel anti-infective agents and support the plans of developing a drug discovery programme in Ghana based on the fermentation of WDF.
