Published: September 2003

Noraristeromycin analogues such as 3',4'-anhydronoraristeromycins, 2-amino-3',4'-anhydronoraristeromycin and N6-cyclopropylnoraristeromycin were synthesized and their inhibitory activity against human and Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum) recombinant SAH hydrolase was investigated. Among them, 3',4'-anhydronoraristeromycin showed inhibitory activity against human recombinant S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine hydrolase (Ki = 12.4 microM, Kinact = 0.55 min-1).

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a severe cardiovascular disease (CVD) that is partly attributable to endothelial dysfunction, inflammatory response, and angiogenesis. G protein-coupled receptor 4 (GPR4), a proton-sensitive G protein-coupled receptor that is abundantly expressed in vascular endothelial cells, has been associated with numerous physiological functions. Nevertheless, its potential involvement in the development of AAA remains unexplored.

Article Synopsis
  • The study analyzes essential oil extracted from dry Eucalyptus globulus leaves, focusing on its chemical composition and potential health benefits.
  • The oil consists of 20 identified compounds, primarily linalool, and exhibits antifungal properties against Fusarium roseum and antibacterial effects against Pseudomonas savastanoi.
  • While it shows moderate antioxidant activity, it differs from typical eucalyptus oils by being a linalool chemotype rather than eucalyptol-dominant.

Preliminary Evidence for Perturbation-Based tACS-EEG Biomarkers of Gamma Activity in Alzheimer's Disease.

Int J Geriatr Psychiatry

Precision Neuroscience & Neuromodulation Program, Gordon Center for Medical Imaging, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by impaired inhibitory circuitry and GABAergic dysfunction, which is associated with reduced fast brain oscillations in the gamma band (γ, 30-90 Hz) in several animal models. Investigating such activity in human patients could lead to the identification of novel biomarkers of diagnostic and prognostic value. The current study aimed to test a multimodal "Perturbation-based" transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation-Electroencephalography (tACS)-EEG protocol to detect how responses to tACS in AD patients correlate with patients' clinical phenotype.

Synergistic effect of proanthocyanidins and cefquinoxime sulfate on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Innovation Center Laboratory for Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM), College of Veterinary Medicine, China Agricultural University, Beijing, China.

To address the severe problem of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) resistance, this study identified a single component from traditional Chinese medicine that, when used in combination with existing antibiotics, enhances the therapeutic efficacy of the antimicrobial drugs. Using the micro broth dilution method and the checkerboard dilution method, susceptibility tests were conducted on ten commonly used β-lactam antibiotics against eleven strains of MRSA. It was found that cefquinome sulfate exhibits synergistic activity with PROs.

Nickel complexes are a potential candidate for antibacterial and antifungal activity. A new Ni (II) complex, bis(2-methoxy-6-{[(2-methylpropyl)imino]methyl}phenolato)nickel (II) (2), was synthesised by reacting, bis(3-methoxy-salicylaldehyde)nickel (II) (1) with isobutylamine. It was characterised by single crystal X-ray diffraction (ScXRD), UV-Vis, NMR, IR, mass spectrometry, and thermogravimetry (TG) to study its structure and physico-chemical properties.
