A novel quinone derivative, Griseusin C (1), along with a known quinone, Naphthoquinone C (2), was isolated from the lyophilized culture broth of the marine-derived fungus Penicillium sp. The structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive 1 D- and 2D-NMR, as well as HRESI-MS, spectroscopic analysis. The relative stereochemistries of the compounds were assessed by NOESY analysis.

Pleurotin (1) is a benzoquinone meroterpenoid known for its wide-spectrum antitumor and antibiotic activities, notably acting as natural inhibitors of the thioredoxin reductase (TrxR). Pleurotin (1) has been chemically synthesized, but only in milligram quantities through at least 13 longest linear steps with 0.8 % overall yield due to its complex structure such as fused hexacyclic core with 8 contiguous stereocenters.

Novel therapeutic delivery systems and delivery methods to the inner ear are necessary to treat hearing loss and inner ear disorders. However, numerous barriers exist to therapeutic delivery into the bone-encased and immune-privileged environment of the inner ear and cochlea, which makes treating inner ear disorders challenging. Nanoparticles (NPs) are a type of therapeutic delivery system that can be engineered for multiple purposes, and posterior semicircular canal (PSCC) infusion is a method to directly deposit them into the cochlea.

Cadmium has been identified as an environmental pollutant and a carcinogen. N-methyladenosine (mA) plays a crucial role in the development of lung tumors, but the mechanisms remain incompletely clarified. In present study, our data demonstrated that prolonged treatment of 1 μmol/L CdSO for 40 passages in bronchial epithelial cells (Beas-2B cells) resulted in the development of a malignant phenotype, which manifested as boosted proliferation, migration and invasion capacity as well as apoptosis reduction.

Lung cancer progression is characterized by intricate epigenetic changes that impact critical metabolic processes and cell death pathways. In this study, we investigate the role of histone lactylation at the AIM2 locus and its downstream effects on ferroptosis regulation and lung cancer progression. We utilized a combination of biochemical assays, including chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), and western blotting to assess histone lactylation levels and gene expression.

Five pink-pigmented bacterial strains, isolated from human skin and classified within the genus , were examined. Among them, four were identified as , while strain OT10 was deemed to be a potential novel species. Strain OT10 exhibited characteristics, such as Gram-stain-negative, oxidase positive, motile, strictly aerobic and rod shaped.
