LanD flavoproteins catalyze oxidative decarboxylation of the C-terminal Cys residue a peptide to produce an enethiol. This enethiol is highly reactive and can be coupled with upstream dehydroamino acid through Michael addition form S-[2-aminovinyl](3-methyl)cysteine, unsaturated thioether known characteristic array C-terminally macrocyclized, ribosomally synthesized posttranslationally modified peptides (RiPPs). Based on two-stage bioinformatics mining posttranslational modifications (PTMs)...

Three new C-methylated phenylpropanoid glycosides (1, 2), a 8–4′-oxyneolignan (3), together with two known analogs (4, 5), were isolated from the rhizomes of Imperata cylindrical Beauv. var. major (Nees) C. E. Hubb. Their structures determined by spectroscopic and chemical methods. Compounds 1, 2, 5 (10 μM) exhibited pronounced hepatoprotective activity against N-acetyl-p-aminophenol (APAP)-induced HepG2 cell damage in vitro assays. Furthermore, their antioxidant activities...

Two new triterpene saponins, namely notoginsenoside Ng5 (1) and Ng6 (2) were isolated from the leaves of Panax notoginseng, along with five known ones. Their structures determined by chemical methods, NMR X-ray experiments. The absolute configuration compound 3 four sugar units was confirmed single crystal analysis. Compounds 2–4 6 inhibited PC12 cell damage induced serum deprivation, increased viability 58.7 ± 6.7% to 66.7 4.5%, 76.1 6.1%, 64.7 5.2% 67.2 5.0% at 10 μM, respectively.

Abstract LanD flavoproteins catalyze oxidative decarboxylation of the C‐t erminal Cys residue a peptide to produce an enethiol. This enethiol is highly reactive and can be coupled with upstream dehydroamino acid through Michael addition form S ‐[2‐aminovinyl](3‐methyl)cysteine, unsaturated thioether known characteristic array C ‐terminally macrocyclized, ribosomally synthesized posttranslationally modified peptides (RiPPs).
