Spore-derived mycobionts of the crustose lichen Graphis vestitoides collected in Vietnam were cultivated on a malt-yeast extract medium supplemented with 10% sucrose. The investigation of their metabolites resulted in isolation of a novel 14-membered macrolide and a new isocoumarin, together with five known isocoumarin derivatives. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic and chemical means. This is the first instance of isolation of a 14-membered macrolide from a lichen mycobiont.

During our efforts to identify biologically active compounds from Red Sea marine invertebrates, a new compound, latrunculin U (), was identified from the Red Sea sponge along with latrunculins A (), B (), and 16--latrunculin B (). The structures of the latrunculins were elucidated based on a combination of comprehensive 1D and 2D NMR analyses and high-resolution mass spectral determinations. The antiproliferative potency of each compound in HeLa cells was evaluated, and they had IC values ranging from 0.

Purpose Of Review: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a heterogeneous condition, so personalized treatment based on each patient's pathophysiology is essential, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Drug therapy for CRS has evolved significantly in recent years with the introduction of biologics, necessitating a reconsideration of the role of low-dose and long-term administration of a 14-membered ring macrolide (macrolide therapy) in the treatment of CRS. Recent research on the mechanisms of macrolide therapy and its proper use may assist physicians in improving patients' quality of life and reducing disease burden.

Article Synopsis
- Macrolides are important antibiotics, and understanding their fragmentation in mass spectrometry is crucial for drug discovery.
- Researchers used advanced mass spectrometry techniques and quantum calculations to explore how two specific macrolides, erythromycin A and roxithromycin, break down.
- The findings revealed common fragmentation patterns and competitive pathways influenced by protonation sites, which can enhance understanding and applications in pharmaceutical research.

A new 14-membered ring brominated macrolide glycoside, named moorenaside (), was discovered from a marine cyanobacterial sample collected from Shands Key in Florida. The structure of was established by analysis of spectroscopic data including its relative configuration. The absolute configuration was inferred from optical rotation data and comparison with related compounds.

Some macrolide antibiotics, which share a basic lactone ring structure, also exhibit anti-inflammatory actions in addition to their antibacterial activities. However, no study has directly compared anti-inflammatory effects on acute inflammation among macrolide antibiotics with the distinct size of the lactone ring. In this study, we evaluated and compared the anti-inflammatory activities of four 14-membered macrolides (erythromycin, clarithromycin, roxithromycin, oleandomycin), one 15-membered macrolide (azithromycin), and three 16-membered macrolides (midecamycin, josamycin, leucomycin) using a rat carrageenan-induced footpad edema model.
