The 7-chloro-4-(phenylselanyl)quinoline (4-PSQ) stands out for its potential antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities. Thus, in this study we investigated the structure-activity relationship of 4-PSQ and its analogues 7-chloro-4-[(4-fluorophenyl) selanyl]quinoline (a), 7-chloro-4-{[3-trifluoromethyl)phenyl] selanyl}quinoline (b), 4-((3,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)selanyl-7-chloroquinoline (c), 7-chloro-4-[(2,4,6-trimethyl)selanyl]quinolinic acid (d) and 7-chloroquinoline-4-selenium acid (e) in models of acute inflammation and chemical, thermal and mechanical nociception in mice, as well as by in silico methods. The compounds a (-F), b (-CF3), c (-Bis-CF3), d (-CH3), e (-OOH) and 4-PSQ exert antinociceptive effects in chemical and thermal nociception models, except compounds d (-CH3) and e (-OOH) that did not show antinociceptive effects in the hot plate test. In addition, treatments with all compounds did not cause locomotor changes in mice. In silico data  the compounds revealed that only compound c (Bis-CF3) exhibited low gastrointestinal absorption and that compounds c (Bis-CF3) and e (-OOH) do not have the ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier, indicating that compound e (-OOH) did not produce a central antinociceptive effect. Furthermore, we found that this class of compounds has a higher affinity for COX-2 than for COX-1. In general, our data indicate that the insertion of substituents can alter the efficiency of 4-PSQ as an antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory agent.

7-氯-4-(苯基硒基)喹啉(4-PSQ)具有潜在的抗痛觉和抗炎活性。因此,在本研究中,我们研究了 4-PSQ 及其类似物 7-氯-4-[(4-氟苯基)硒基]喹啉(a)、7-氯-4-{[3-三氟甲基]苯基硒基}喹啉(b)、4-((3,5-双(三氟甲基)苯基)硒基)-7-氯喹啉(c)的结构-活性关系、7-氯-4-[(2,4,6-三甲基)硒基]喹啉酸 (d) 和 7-氯喹啉-4-硒酸 (e) 在小鼠急性炎症和化学、热和机械痛觉模型中的应用,以及通过硅学方法进行的研究。化合物 a(-F)、b(-CF3)、c(-Bis-CF3)、d(-CH3)、e(-OOH)和 4-PSQ 在化学和热痛觉模型中具有抗痛觉作用,只有化合物 d(-CH3)和 e(-OOH)在热板试验中未显示抗痛觉作用。此外,所有化合物都不会引起小鼠运动变化。化合物的硅学数据显示,只有化合物 c(Bis-CF3)的胃肠道吸收率较低,而化合物 c(Bis-CF3)和 e(-OOH)不具备穿透血脑屏障的能力,这表明化合物 e(-OOH)没有产生中枢性抗痛觉作用。此外,我们还发现这类化合物对 COX-2 的亲和力高于 COX-1。总之,我们的数据表明,插入取代基可以改变 4-PSQ 作为抗痛觉和抗炎剂的效率。

The development of effective treatments for dental pathogens and oral cancer remains a significant challenge. Copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) are recognized for their strong antimicrobial properties, attributed to the synthesis of oxygen-dependent radicals. α-Mangostin (MG), a natural xanthone from mangosteen fruit, is well-known for its antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anticancer potential.  Antioxidant activity was assessed using superoxide anion and hydroxyl radical anion. The anticancer potential was evaluated by examining apoptosis induction in oral cancer cell lines, focusing on the expression of key apoptotic markers such as Caspase-3, Caspase-8, and FasL. Molecular docking simulations were performed to understand the interaction between MG and biofilm receptors. The CuO-MG NPs evidenced significant antimicrobial efficacy against all tested oral pathogens, with enhanced efficacy attributed to the combined effects of CuO-induced oxidative stress and the antimicrobial properties of MG.  Molecular docking studies revealed strong binding affinities of MG to key biofilm receptors, disrupting pathogen adhesion and biofilm formation. CuO-MG NPs demonstrate synergistic antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anticancer properties, offering a potential approach for the management of oral infections and oral cancer. Further preclinical and clinical studies are recommended to ensure their safety and stability in medical applications.

开发针对牙科病原体和口腔癌的有效治疗方法仍然是一项重大挑战。氧化铜纳米粒子(CuO NPs)具有很强的抗菌特性,这归功于氧自由基的合成。α-山竹素(MG)是从山竹果中提取的一种天然氧杂蒽酮,以其抗氧化、抗菌和抗癌潜力而闻名。 抗氧化活性采用超氧阴离子和羟自由基阴离子进行评估。抗癌潜力是通过检测口腔癌细胞系的凋亡诱导来评估的,重点是 Caspase-3、Caspase-8 和 FasL 等关键凋亡标志物的表达。为了了解 MG 与生物膜受体之间的相互作用,还进行了分子对接模拟。CuO-MG NPs 对所有测试的口腔病原体都有显著的抗菌功效,功效的增强归因于 CuO 诱导的氧化应激和 MG 的抗菌特性的共同作用。 分子对接研究表明,MG 与关键的生物膜受体有很强的结合亲和力,能破坏病原体的粘附和生物膜的形成。CuO-MG NPs 具有协同抗菌、抗氧化和抗癌特性,为治疗口腔感染和口腔癌提供了一种潜在的方法。建议进一步开展临床前和临床研究,以确保其在医疗应用中的安全性和稳定性。

Loureirin B (LB), an active component of Resina Draconis, exhibits hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects; however, its mode of action remains unclear. Here, ob/ob mice were utilized to investigate the effects of LB on the regulation of glucolipid metabolism disorders. Non-targeted metabolomics and 16S rDNA sequencing were performed to elucidate the potential mechanisms involved. Results indicated that LB treatment (45 mg/kg) significantly improved glucose intolerance and insulin resistance, reduced lipid levels, and alleviated hepatic steatosis. Non-targeted metabolomics analysis revealed that LB treatment regulated bile acid levels. Quantification of liver bile acids demonstrated that LB treatment significantly decreased the ratio of 12α-OH to non-12α-OH bile acids in the liver. 16S rDNA sequencing results showed that LB treatment increased the abundance of short-chain fatty acid-producing microbiota while decreasing the abundance of bile salt hydrolase (BSH) enzyme-producing microbiota. In conclusion, LB ameliorates glucolipid metabolism disorders by regulating liver bile acid levels and modulating the composition of the gut microbiota.

路瑞林 B(Loureirin B,LB)是瑞香草的一种活性成分,具有降血糖和降血脂作用,但其作用模式仍不清楚。在此,我们利用肥胖/肥胖小鼠来研究 LB 对糖脂代谢紊乱的调节作用。研究人员进行了非靶向代谢组学和 16S rDNA 测序,以阐明其中的潜在机制。结果表明,枸橼酸治疗(45 毫克/千克)能明显改善葡萄糖不耐受和胰岛素抵抗,降低血脂水平,缓解肝脏脂肪变性。非靶向代谢组学分析表明,枸橼酸治疗可调节胆汁酸水平。肝脏胆汁酸定量分析显示,枸橼酸治疗显著降低了肝脏中 12α-OH 与非 12α-OH 胆汁酸的比例。16S rDNA 测序结果显示,枸橼酸处理增加了产生短链脂肪酸的微生物群的丰度,同时降低了产生胆盐水解酶(BSH)的微生物群的丰度。总之,枸橼酸可通过调节肝脏胆汁酸水平和肠道微生物群的组成来改善糖脂代谢紊乱。

A study was conducted to analyze the essential oil of Pulicaria mauritanica (PMEO) and investigate its antibacterial and antioxidant properties using in vitro and in-silico methods. The essential oil was extracted using the hydrodistillation technique, and its chemical composition was identified via GC/MS analysis. The chemical composition of oil shows that the major components of PMEO are carvotanacetone (67.92%) followed by 2,5-dimethoxy-p-cymene (3.62%), eucalyptol (1.76%) and tetrahydrocarvone (1.32%). The antibacterial and antioxidant effects against DPPH free radicals and ferric reducing power were tested using the in vitro microdilution method. The antibacterial activity showed a strong sensitivity against Bacillus subtilis and Proteus mirabilis with an inhibition zone of (22.33 ± 1.78 mm and 19.3 ± 0.68 mm, respectively; the lowest MIC and MBC values were (MIC=MBC=1.56 mg/mL). However, computational studies were carried out using molecular docking studies. The study of the interaction nature between (PMEO) essential oil and tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase from Staphylococcus aureus aids in understanding the antibacterial properties of essential oil molecules and their mechanism of action. The in-silico toxicity and pharmacokinetics results show that 4-candidate molecules have potential antibacterial drugs and suggests that PMEO could be a source of natural antioxidants and antibacterial agents.

本研究采用体外和体内方法分析了毛利卡里亚精油(PMEO),并研究了其抗菌和抗氧化特性。精油采用水蒸馏技术提取,并通过气相色谱/质谱分析鉴定其化学成分。精油的化学成分显示,PMEO 的主要成分是香芹烷丙酮(67.92%),其次是 2,5-二甲氧基对伞花烃(3.62%)、桉叶油醇(1.76%)和四氢香芹酮(1.32%)。采用体外微量稀释法测试了 DPPH 自由基和铁还原力的抗菌和抗氧化效果。抗菌活性显示了对枯草杆菌和变形杆菌的强烈敏感性,抑菌区分别为(22.33 ± 1.78 mm 和 19.3 ± 0.68 mm);最低 MIC 值和 MBC 值为(MIC=MBC=1.56 mg/mL)。不过,计算研究是通过分子对接研究进行的。研究(PMEO)精油与金黄色葡萄球菌酪氨酸-tRNA 合成酶之间的相互作用性质有助于了解精油分子的抗菌特性及其作用机制。研究结果表明,4 种候选分子具有抗菌药物的潜力,并表明 PMEO 可作为天然抗氧化剂和抗菌剂的来源。

Quinolone alkaloids are N-heterocycles with extensive structural diversity, mainly derived from in fungi from anthranilic acid and amino acids as precursors with a wide range of biological activities as antifungal, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and insecticidal activities. The quinolone basic skeleton comprised of either 2-quinolones or 4-quinolones generated more than one hundred compounds. Several reviews discussed quinolones; particularly, the fluoroquinolones, yet few studies tackled natural quinolones. Many of these quinolones were not assayed for their antimicrobial potential despite their unique stereospecificity, which can supersede synthetic quinolones if their discovery is coupled with OMICS techniques, biochemical and molecular strategies as heterologous expression to maximize their yield. Herein, we conducted a comprehensive review of the quinolone's family in Aspergillus and Penicillium species, the exclusive producers of quinolones whether they are soil, endophytic or marine derived highlighting their isolation, chemical structures, pharmacological effects, structure activity relationships if any, and biosynthetic machinery. We believe that our initiative will pave the way for further development of natural quinolones as future antimicrobial agents.

喹诺酮生物碱是具有广泛结构多样性的 N-杂环化合物,主要来源于真菌中的蚁酸和氨基酸作为前体,具有抗真菌、抗微生物、消炎和杀虫等多种生物活性。由 2-喹诺酮或 4-喹诺酮组成的喹诺酮基本骨架产生了一百多种化合物。一些综述讨论了喹诺酮类药物,尤其是氟喹诺酮类药物,但很少有研究涉及天然喹诺酮类药物。尽管天然喹诺酮具有独特的立体特异性,但其中许多喹诺酮并没有进行抗菌潜力检测,如果在发现天然喹诺酮的过程中结合 OMICS 技术、生化和分子策略(如异源表达),以最大限度地提高产量,天然喹诺酮就能取代合成喹诺酮。在此,我们对曲霉和青霉中的喹诺酮家族进行了全面回顾,它们是喹诺酮类药物的唯一生产者,无论是来自土壤、内生菌还是海洋,我们都重点回顾了它们的分离、化学结构、药理作用、结构活性关系(如果有的话)以及生物合成机制。我们相信,我们的倡议将为进一步开发天然喹诺酮类药物作为未来的抗菌剂铺平道路。

The Capsicum genus includes several cultivated species that release complex blends of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) associated with their unique aroma. These VOCs are essential info-chemicals in ecological interactions. In this review, we describe how the volatilomic profiling naturally varies based on specific plant organs and genotypes as well as how non-beneficial organisms affect VOCs biosynthesis and accumulation in pepper plants. Also, we show evidence about VOCs variation under the pressure of different abiotic factors such as water stress, soil type and nutrient availability. The contribution of specific metabolic pathways and gene expression related to the biosynthesis of particular VOCs is addressed. We highlighted the utility of VOCs as chemical markers for quality control in the food industry, breeding programs to generate resistant plants and to improve aroma innovation. Herein we present a database containing 2734 VOCs, revealing 113 as the basic core of the volatilome from five Capsicum species.

辣椒属包括多个栽培品种,它们释放出复杂的挥发性有机化合物(VOC)混合物,散发出独特的香气。这些挥发性有机化合物是生态互动中必不可少的信息化学品。在这篇综述中,我们将介绍挥发性有机化合物是如何根据特定植物器官和基因型而自然变化的,以及非有益生物是如何影响辣椒植物中挥发性有机化合物的生物合成和积累的。此外,我们还展示了在不同非生物因素(如水胁迫、土壤类型和养分供应)压力下 VOCs 变化的证据。我们还探讨了与特定挥发性有机化合物的生物合成相关的特定代谢途径和基因表达的贡献。我们强调了挥发性有机化合物作为化学标记在食品工业质量控制、培育抗性植物的育种计划以及提高香气创新方面的效用。在此,我们提供了一个包含 2734 种挥发性有机化合物的数据库,其中 113 种是来自五个辣椒品种的挥发性有机化合物的基本核心。

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent chronic degenerative joint disease among the aged population. The primary objective of this study was to assess the therapeutic potential of puerarin loaded bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (Pue@BMSC-Exo), and reveal their inflammatory regulating mechanisms through affecting the nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) signaling pathway. In this study, exosomes derived from BMSCs were isolated and identified. Cell proliferation and migration were evaluated by CCK-8 and scratch methods. Furthermore, histological and micro-computed tomography analysis were performed to assess alterations of articular cartilage in OA rats. Results showed that BMSC-Exo and Pue@BMSC-Exo conformed to the basic characteristics of exosomes. BMSC-Exo increased the solubility of Pue and enhanced drug uptake by chondrocytes. In addition, Pue@BMSC-Exo stimulated proliferation and migration of chondrocyte, and also promoted cartilage repair by reducing matrix metalloproteinase MMP13 production and increasing type II collagen (Col2) synthesis. Furthermore, Pue@BMSC-Exo, by effectively inhibiting the NF-κB signaling pathway, reduced the production of inflammatory mediators and attenuated the release of the inflammatory marker nitric oxide (NO), ultimately ameliorating damage of chondrocyte. These findings exhibited the potential therapeutic significance of Pue@BMSC-Exo in OA and warranted further exploration in clinical applications.

骨关节炎(OA)是老年人群中最常见的慢性退行性关节疾病。本研究的主要目的是评估葛根素负载骨髓间充质干细胞衍生外泌体(Pue@BMSC-Exo)的治疗潜力,并揭示其通过影响核因子卡巴-B(NF-κB)信号通路的炎症调节机制。本研究分离并鉴定了来自BMSCs的外泌体。通过CCK-8和划痕法评估了细胞的增殖和迁移。此外,还进行了组织学和微型计算机断层扫描分析,以评估 OA 大鼠关节软骨的改变。结果表明,BMSC-Exo 和 Pue@BMSC-Exo 符合外泌体的基本特征。BMSC-Exo 增加了 Pue 的溶解度,提高了软骨细胞对药物的吸收。此外,Pue@BMSC-Exo 还能刺激软骨细胞的增殖和迁移,并通过减少基质金属蛋白酶 MMP13 的产生和增加 II 型胶原蛋白(Col2)的合成促进软骨修复。此外,Pue@BMSC-Exo 还能有效抑制 NF-κB 信号通路,减少炎症介质的产生和炎症标志物一氧化氮(NO)的释放,最终改善软骨细胞的损伤。这些发现显示了 Pue@BMSC-Exo 对 OA 的潜在治疗意义,值得在临床应用中进一步探索。

Rosmarinic acid (RA) is a natural antioxidant known for its diverse biological activities. Although its diuretic activity has been previously established, the mode of action remained unclear. To investigate this, we examined the diuretic activity of RA alone and in combination with hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ), amiloride (AML), atropine (ATR), and indomethacin (INDO) to see if any of these drugs could interfere with RA's activity in an 8-hour acute diuresis animal model. We observed that RA increases urine excretion and may have a synergistic effect in the HCTZ+RA group, with a potassium-sparing capacity. In the AML+RA group, we also noted increased urine excretion while sodium and potassium excretion decreased. ATR and INDO prevented RA from increasing urine excretion, suggesting a potential interaction with muscarinic receptors or a role in promoting prostaglandin production. Additionally, molecular docking analysis indicated possible interactions with key receptors involved in increased diuresis or free-electrolyte water excretion.

迷迭香酸(RA)是一种天然抗氧化剂,具有多种生物活性。虽然它的利尿活性已被证实,但其作用模式仍不清楚。为了探究这一问题,我们研究了 RA 单独或与氢氯噻嗪(HCTZ)、阿米洛利(AML)、阿托品(ATR)和吲哚美辛(INDO)联合使用时的利尿活性,以观察在 8 小时急性利尿动物模型中这些药物是否会干扰 RA 的活性。我们观察到,在 HCTZ+RA 组中,RA 可增加尿液排泄,并可能具有协同作用,同时具有保钾能力。在 AML+RA 组中,我们还注意到尿液排泄增加,而钠和钾的排泄减少。ATR 和 INDO 阻止了 RA 增加尿液排泄量,这表明它们可能与毒蕈碱受体相互作用或在促进前列腺素分泌方面发挥作用。此外,分子对接分析表明,可能会与参与增加利尿或自由电解质水排泄的关键受体发生相互作用。

The chemical composition of the essential oil isolated from the aerial parts of Teucrium aureo-candidum, an endemic aromatic shrub collected from Moghrar and Djeniene Bourezg in the Nâama region (Algeria), was determined for the first time using GC/FID and GC/MS. A total of 45 constituents were identified, representing 87.73% of the oil. Characterized by unique chemical variability, it was primarily composed of sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (29.53%) and oxygenated sesquiterpenes (30.06%), with the major compounds being γ-cadinene (5.24%), δ-cadinene (4.24%), α-muurolene (4.04%), τ-muurolol (11.35%), and α-cadinol (3.30%). However, monoterpene hydrocarbons and oxygenated monoterpenes accounted for 23.98% and 1.64%, respectively, contributing to a relatively low fraction. The essential oil demonstrated notable antibacterial activity, particularly against Gram-positive bacteria. Due to safety concerns associated with triclosan, a known inhibitor of the Enoyl-Acyl Carrier Protein Reductase (FabI) enzyme, the essential oil components from this plant were explored as alternatives through a combination of experimental approaches and in silico molecular docking studies. The results revealed that α-cadinol, spathulenol, caryophyllene, and α-muurolene exhibited strong FabI inhibition, with better bioavailability and lower toxicity than triclosan, highlighting their potential in combating antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

本研究首次使用 GC/FID 和 GC/MS 方法测定了从纳马地区(阿尔及利亚)Moghrar 和 Djeniene Bourezg 采集的特有芳香灌木 Teucrium aureo-candidum 的气生部分分离出的精油的化学成分。共鉴定出 45 种成分,占油的 87.73%。它具有独特的化学变异性,主要由倍半萜烃(29.53%)和含氧倍半萜(30.06%)组成,主要化合物为γ-cadinene(5.24%)、δ-cadinene(4.24%)、α-muurolene(4.04%)、τ-muurolol(11.35%)和α-cadinol(3.30%)。然而,单萜烃类和含氧单萜分别占 23.98% 和 1.64%,所占比例相对较低。这种精油具有显著的抗菌活性,尤其是对革兰氏阳性细菌。三氯生是一种已知的烯酰-酰基载体蛋白还原酶(FabI)抑制剂,出于对三氯生安全性的担忧,研究人员结合实验方法和硅学分子对接研究,探索了该植物精油成分的替代品。研究结果表明,α-卡地诺、spathulenol、香叶醇和 α-木榄烯对 FabI 有很强的抑制作用,与三氯生相比,生物利用度更高,毒性更低,突出了它们在抗击抗生素耐药细菌方面的潜力。

This study aimed to assess the biological activities of Tunisian Simmondsia chinensis and characterize their potential bioactive compounds. Different extracts of S. chinensis were tested for their antioxidant, antibacterial, anti α-amylase, and anti-acetylcholinesterase activities through in vitro assays. The methanolic extract exhibited the highest levels of antioxidant activity and total phenolic content (976.03 GAE/g extract) compared to the other extracts. Additionally, it demonstrated a substantial anti-acetylcholinesterase activity (PI= 75%) and potent antibacterial property, particularly against Enterococcus faecalis, Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis, and Salmonella enterica. The IC50 values of ethyl acetate and methanolic extracts against α-amylase were 42 μg/mL and 40 μg/mL, respectively, indicating potent anti-diabetic effects. HPLC-ESI-MS/MS analyses identified flavonoids and lignans as the major phenolic compounds in the methanolic extract. To better comprehend the mechanisms behind inhibitory effects on α-amylase and acetylcholinesterase enzymes, a molecular docking study was conducted. Consequently, these findings indicate that S. chinensis is a highly valuable natural resource with potential industrial applications.

本研究旨在评估突尼斯西蒙德木(Simmondsia chinensis)的生物活性,并鉴定其潜在的生物活性化合物。通过体外试验,测试了不同提取物的抗氧化、抗菌、抗α-淀粉酶和抗乙酰胆碱酯酶活性。与其他提取物相比,甲醇提取物的抗氧化活性和总酚含量(976.03 GAE/g)最高。此外,甲醇提取物还具有很强的抗乙酰胆碱酯酶活性(PI= 75%)和强效抗菌特性,尤其是对粪肠球菌、单核细胞增生李斯特菌、蜡样芽孢杆菌、枯草芽孢杆菌和肠炎沙门氏菌。乙酸乙酯提取物和甲醇提取物对α-淀粉酶的 IC50 值分别为 42 μg/mL 和 40 μg/mL,表明其具有很强的抗糖尿病作用。HPLC-ESI-MS/MS 分析确定甲醇提取物中的主要酚类化合物为黄酮类和木脂素类。为了更好地理解α-淀粉酶和乙酰胆碱酯酶抑制作用背后的机制,进行了分子对接研究。因此,这些研究结果表明盐肤木是一种非常有价值的自然资源,具有潜在的工业应用价值。
