Unraveling Gagnep. Role in cerebral ischemia: Comprehensive in vivo and studies.

The present study investigated the neuroprotective properties of whole plants of Gagnep. extract (GBEE) against cerebral ischemia by harnessing both In vivo studies in a rat model and studies focusing on nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibition. High-resolution liquid chromatography‒mass spectrometry (HR LC‒MS) analysis identified 32 phytochemicals in the GBEE, 15 of which adhered to Lipinski's rule of five.

Two-step, high-yielding total synthesis of antibiotic pyrones.

A simple two-step dialkylation protocol was developed to synthesize biologically active antibiotics photopyrones, pseudopyronines, and violapyrones from bio-renewable triacetate lactone in excellent yields. These pyrones are functionally modified into another set of pyrone natural products by a single -methylation reaction. The high-yielding gram scale synthesis of four natural products [pseudopyronine A, photopyrone A, pseudopyronine B and photopyrone C] demonstrated the viability for industrial applications.
