Marine natural products are important sources of novel drugs. In this study, we isolated 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (HPA) from the marine-derived fungus Emericellopsis maritima Y39–2. The antithrombotic activity and mechanism HPA were reported for first time. Using a zebrafish model, found that had strong because it can significantly increase cardiac erythrocytes, blood flow velocity, heart rate, reduce caudal thrombus, reverse inflammatory response caused by Arachidonic Acid (AA). Further...

Hosta plantaginea was a traditional Chinese medicinal plant used to treat inflammation-related diseases with little scientific validation. Twelve flavonoids, including two new compounds namely plantanones A (1) and B (2), were isolated from the flowers of plantaginea. Their structures elucidated by NMR HRMS as well comparison literature data. All showed significant inhibitory activities against ovine COX-1 COX-2 at concentration 50 μM, inhibition ratios 53.00% 80.55% for 52.19% 66.29% COX-2....

Previously, we found that human histocytic lymphoma U937 cells possessed high susceptibility to oridonin-induced cell death, but the molecular mechanisms in response oridonin remain unclear. In this study, showed susceptible apoptosis induced by 27 μM and an agonistic anti-Fas IgM mAb (CH-11) (500 ng/ml) as a Fas-sensitized positive control. Caspase 8 inhibitor z-IETD, neither caspase 1 Ac-YVAD nor 10 z-AEVD, effectively blocked death well DNA fragmentation. Western blot analysis...

Two C18-diterpenoid alkaloids, puberunine (1) and puberudine (2), together with four other new including the first examples having β-oriented substitution at C-3 a rare chloro-substituent were isolated from Aconitum barbatum var. puberulum. Their structures elucidated by spectroscopic methods. Puberunine puberudine, which possess unique rearranged E ring an opened A ring, respectively, represent subtypes of alkaloids. plausible biosynthetic pathway 1 2 was proposed.

The host genes play a crucial role in shaping the composition and structure of gut microbiome. Red deer is listed as an endangered species by International Union for Conservation Nature, its pilose antlers have good medicinal value. Hybridization can lead to heterosis, resulting increased antler production growth performance hybrid deer. However, microbiome remains largely unknown. In this study, alpha beta diversity analysis showed that hybridization altered offspring, with offspring being...
