      To make these new approaches time- and money-saving, the set-up of easy, rapid, and economical chemical synthesis and biological screening processes is essential (9, 10). The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which has been defined as an “honorary mammal” (11), is a suitable model organism for this aim, mainly because of the high degree of conservation with human cells concerning main biological processes (11). Thanks to its ease of manipulation, it can be successfully used to identify molecules of pharmacological interest (4, 12).
