The relative acidities of the cis and trans isomers of a series of 1,5-oxazaspiro[5.5]undecane derivatives were determined by measuring DeltapK in acid-base titrations followed by (1)H NMR. Relative structural stabilities were determined by measuring substituent chemical shift and gamma-gauche effects in (13)C, (15)N, and (17)O NMR. Crystallographic characterization of a model spiro[5.5]undecane is presented to support the basicity in solid state.

Sponge exhalent metabolites influence coral reef picoplankton dynamics.
Sci Rep
December 2024
Marine Chemistry and Geochemistry, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Falmouth, USA.
Coral reef sponges efficiently take up particulate and dissolved organic matter (DOM) from the water column and release compounds such as nucleosides, amino acids, and other dissolved metabolites to the surrounding reef via their exhalent seawater, but the influence of this process on reef picoplankton and nutrient processing is relatively unexplored. Here we examined the impact of sponge exhalent on the reef picoplankon community and subsequent alterations to the reef dissolved metabolite pool. We exposed reef picoplankton communities to a sponge exhalent water mixture (Niphates digitalis and Xestospongia muta) or filtered reef seawater (control) in closed, container-based dark incubations.

Cannabis use disorder affects up to 42% of individuals with schizophrenia, correlating with earlier onset, increased positive symptoms, and more frequent hospitalizations. This study employed an untargeted lipidomics approach to identify biomarkers in plasma samples from subjects with schizophrenia, cannabis use disorder, or both (dual diagnosis), aiming to elucidate the metabolic underpinnings of cannabis abuse and schizophrenia development. The use of liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry enabled the annotation of 119 metabolites, with the highest identification confidence level achieved for 16 compounds.

Small intestinal organoids are similar to actual small intestines in structure and function and can be used in various fields, such as nutrition, disease, and toxicity research. However, the basal-out type is difficult to homogenize because of the diversity of cell sizes and types, and the Matrigel-based culture conditions. Contrastingly, the apical-out form of small intestinal organoids is relatively uniform and easy to manipulate without Matrigel.

FDX1/2 are cognate substrates of ferredoxin reductase (FDXR) and serve as conduits for electron transfer from NADPH to a set of proteins involved in biogenesis of steroids, hemes, ISC and lipoylated proteins. Recently, we showed that Fdx1 is essential for embryonic development and lipid homeostasis.

A number of studies have been demonstrated that arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase (ALOX-5) plays a role in regulating a range of physiological and pathological processes through the catalysis of leukotriene formation from arachidonic acid (ARA). The coding sequence of ALOX-5 from Apostichopus japonicus (Aj-ALOX-5) was successfully amplified, resulting in a 2028 bp ORF sequence that encodes 674 amino acids. A comparison of the amino acid sequence with those of other 5-lipoxygenases revealed that Aj-ALOX-5 has the N-terminal "PLAT domain" and C-terminal "lipoxygenase structural domain" characteristic of this enzyme family.
