Mechanism of Action of Potent Boron-Containing Antifungals

Costa Arvanitis, Trevor Rook and Ian Macreadie
Current Bioactive Compounds, 16(5), 552–556 (2020).

The paper reviews evidence on the antifungal mechanisms of boric acid, boronic acids and related boron-containing compounds. It establishes the founder's published interest in boron bioactivity; it is not a report of boron production or propellant testing.

Finding chemopreventatives to reduce amyloid beta in yeast

Ian G. Macreadie, Costa Arvanitis and Prashant Bharadwaj
Neural Regeneration Research, 11(2), 244–245 (2016).

This publication discusses the value of yeast models in investigating amyloid-beta accumulation and screening candidate chemopreventative compounds in Alzheimer's disease research.

Surface-dependent responses of poly(lactic acid)

Current doctoral research investigates the spectroscopically distinct surfaces of commercial PLA films and their responses to water and selected ionic-liquid treatments. The evidence base includes Raman and ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, supported by additional analytical work.

Interpretation emphasises surface-dependent structural signatures; accelerated chemical degradation is not claimed as demonstrated. Manuscript preparation is ongoing, and no journal acceptance is claimed.

Ethanol, advanced materials and propulsion concepts

Continuing feasibility interests include alternative ethanol pathways and possible boron-related materials research. The company has documented correspondence with regulators and local government about aspects of its work, but the concepts should not be confused with validated industrial processes or general propellant-manufacturing approvals.
