β-alanine betaine and nAChRs in <i>Ascaris</i>

2026-07-03

Abstract excerpt

Anthelmintic drugs are used to control soil-transmitted helminths that infect a third of the world’s human population. There is increasing concern about the development of resistance to anthelmintic drugs because of the limited number of compounds available and there is an unmet need for new resistance-busting drugs. Here we describe the presence of a previously unrecognized endogenous acetylcholine analogue, β-al...
