Nine new isoprenylated depsides, sterenins E-M (1-9), as well as five known compounds (10-14), were isolated from the solid culture of Stereum hirsutum. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic methods. Their inhibitory activities against yeast α-glucosidase were evaluated in vitro. Compounds 1-4 and 7-14 showed inhibitory activities with IC50 values of 7.62, 3.06, 6.03, 22.70, 36.64, 13.09, 27.52, 25.10, 12.32, 3.31, 23.82, and 14.17 µM, respectively. Compounds 5 and 6 showed no inhibitory activities with IC50 values higher than 50 µM. Therefore, the culture of S. hirsutum and its secondary metabolites could have a potential usage for the development of hypoglycemic drugs.

Tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 1 (TRAF1) is a crucial signaling adaptor involved in multiple cellular events. However, its role in regulating osteoclastogenesis and energy metabolism remains unclear. Here, we report that TRAF1 promotes osteoclastogenesis and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS).

This study explores the effectiveness of various antifungal drugs in treating sporotrichosis caused by Sporothrix schenckii, especially in non-wild-type (non-WT) strains. The drugs tested include enilconazole (ENIL), isavuconazole (ISA), posaconazole (POS), terbinafine (TER), and itraconazole (ITC). The study involved in vitro and in vivo tests on 10 WT isolates and eight ITC non-WT isolates.

This study identified the amino acid sequences of peptides generated from the enzymatic hydrolysis of goat milk proteins from two different sources and annotated their functional activities. Peptidomics and molecular docking approaches were used to investigate the antioxidant and ACE inhibitory properties of the unique peptides, revealing the molecular mechanisms underlying their bioactivity. In vitro experiments showed that the IC50 values for ACE inhibition of the four peptides (LSMTDTR, QEALELIR, NIPVGILR, and QAQNVQHY) were 2.

Enzymatic hydrolysis approach is commonly employed for preparation of active peptides, while the limited purity and yield of produced peptides hinder further development of action mechanisms. This study presents the biotechnological approach for the efficient production of recombinant angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptide LYPVK and investigates its potential antihypertensive action mechanism. DNA encoding sequence of recombinant peptide was designed to form in tandem, which was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3).
