Tryptophol is a natural component isolated from vinegar produced from the boiled extract of black soybean. We have reported that tryptophol induces apoptosis in U937 cells via activation of caspase-8 followed by caspase-3. Tryptophol, however, did not affect human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL). In this study, we found that tryptophol enhances formation of a death-inducing signaling complex including death receptor (DR) 5. Cell viability and induction of apoptosis by tryptophol was reduced by transfection with decoy receptor (DcR) 1. These results indicate that tryptophol induces apoptosis through DR5 and that the resistance of PBL to tryptophol-induced apoptosis might be due to competition from DcR1.

Two new tetraketide-derived phenol rhamnosides [botryrhamnosides A (1) and B (2)] and a new rhamnosylated tryptophol alkaloid (botryrhamnoside C, 3), along with seven related known compounds (4-10) were isolated from the solid culture of Botryosphaeria dothidea LE-07, an endophytic fungus residing in the leaves of the rare medicinal plant Chinese tulip tree (Liriodendron chinense). Their structures with the absolute configurations were determined by a combination of spectroscopy methods, comparing specific rotations, electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Compounds 1 and 2 are rare tetraketide-derived resorcinols incorporating a l-rhamnose moiety, while 3 represents the first example of rhamnose-bound tryptophol derivatives produced by microorganisms.

Polysaccharides are known to confer protection against glycolipid metabolism disorders (GMD) by regulating intestinal flora. In this study, a heterogeneous acidic heteropolysaccharide with high molecular weight mainly composed of fructose was isolated from Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz (AMP). Supplementation with AMP was shown to improve diet-induced GMD in a rat model, including decreasing the levels of serum triglycerides, total cholesterol, and glucose, and improving hepatic lipidosis and islet cells morphologies.

In yeast, multiple (pleiotropic) drug resistance (MDR) transporters efflux xenobiotics from the cytoplasm to the environment. Additionally, upon the accumulation of xenobiotics in the cells, MDR genes are induced. At the same time, fungal cells can produce secondary metabolites with physico-chemical properties similar to MDR transporter substrates.

Probiotic fermented foods are perceived as contributing to human health; however, solid evidence for their presumptive therapeutic systemic benefits is generally lacking. Here we report that tryptophol acetate and tyrosol acetate, small-molecule metabolites secreted by the probiotic milk-fermented yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus, inhibit hyperinflammation (e.g.

The yeasts, Saccharomyces pastorianus, are hybrids of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Saccharomyces eubayanus and have acquired traits from the combined parental genomes such as ability to ferment a range of sugars at low temperatures and to produce aromatic flavour compounds, allowing for the production of lager beers with crisp, clean flavours. The polyploid strains are sterile and have reached an evolutionary bottleneck for genetic variation. Here we describe an accelerated evolution approach to obtain lager yeasts with enhanced flavour profiles.
