Five anthranilic acid derivatives, a mixture I of three new compounds 11'-hexadecenoylanthranilic acid (1), 9'-hexadecenoylanthranilic acid (2), and 7'-hexadecenoylanthranilic acid (3), as well as a new compound 9,12,15-octadecatrienoylanthranilic acid (4) together with a new natural product, hexadecanoylanthranilic acid (5), were isolated from Geijera parviflora Lindl. (Rutaceae). Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic measurements, and the positions of the double bonds in compounds 1-3 of the mixture I were determined by tandem mass spectrometry employing ozone-induced dissociation. The mixture I and compound 5 showed good antibacterial activity against several Gram-positive strains.

Downregulation and inhibition of TRPM2 calcium channel prevent oxidative stress-induced endothelial dysfunction in the EA.hy926 endothelial cells model - preliminary studies.

Adv Med Sci

January 2025

Purpose: Proper functioning of the endothelial barrier is crucial for cardiovascular system homeostasis. Oxidative stress can lead to endothelial dysfunction (ED), damaging lipids, proteins, and DNA. Reactive oxygen species also increase cytoplasmic Ca levels, activating transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2), a membrane non-selective calcium channel.

Synthesis and Degradation of the Phytohormone Indole-3-Acetic Acid by the Versatile Bacterium LB400 and Its Growth Promotion of Plant.

Plants (Basel)

December 2024

Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) play a role in stimulating plant growth through mechanisms such as the synthesis of the phytohormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). The aims of this study were the characterization of IAA synthesis and degradation by the model aromatic-degrading bacterium LB400, and its growth promotion of the plant. Strain LB400 was able to synthesize IAA (measured by HPLC) during growth in the presence of tryptophan and at least one additional carbon source; synthesis of anthranilic acid was also observed.

Cognitive impairment is a core feature of neurodevelopmental (schizophrenia) and aging-associated (mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's dementia) neurodegenerative diseases. Limited efficacy of current pharmacological treatments warrants further search for new targets for nootropic interventions. The breakdown of myelin, a phospholipids axonal sheath that protects the conduction of nerve impulse between neurons, was proposed as a neuropathological abnormality that precedes and promotes the deposition of amyloid-β in neuritic plaques.

Introduction: Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) is a promising therapy for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). This clinical trial aims to evaluate the influence of taVNS on autonomic functions, rectal sensation, and acetylcholine (Ach) levels and to explore potential mechanisms involving gut microbiota and metabolic profiles.

Methods: This study was a single-center, single-blind, randomized controlled trial executed at the First Affiliated Hospital of USTC, Anhui, China.

The main purpose of this study is to characterize the nature of the low-energy singlet excited states of the anthranilic acid homodimer (AA) and their changes (symmetry breaking) caused by deformation of the centrosymmetric, ground state structure of AA towards the geometry of the S state. We employ both the correlated ab initio methods (approximate Coupled Clusters Singles and Doubles-CC2 and CASSCF/NEVPT2) as well as the DFT/TDDFT calculations with two exchange-correlation functionals, i.e.
