Two new quinolinone alkaloids and 13 known compounds were isolated from chestnut (Castanea crenata Sieb) honey. Two new compounds were determined to be 3-dihydro-spiro[2(1H),3'(1'H)-diquinoline]-3',4,4'-trione (spirodiquinolinone) and 3-(2'-piperidine)-kynurenic acid. In addition, 2,3-dihydropyrrolo[1,2-a]quinazolin-5(1H)-one was identified for the first time from nature. In addition, 2,3-dihydropyrrolo[1,2-a]quinazolin-5(1H)-one was newly identified from chestnut honey, although this compound has been synthesized before. The structures were determined by the NMR and electrospray ionization-mass spectroscopy (ESI-MS). Three compounds were qualified and quantitated in chestnut honey by selective multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) detection of LC-ESI-MS using the isolated compounds as external standards.

The exposure risk of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes increases the incidence of resistant bacterial infections, has resulted in clinical treatment failures with ciprofloxacin, necessitating urgent implementation of novel strategies for controlling this situation. Matrine serves as the principal constituent of the traditional Chinese herb Sophora flavescens Ait. and exhibits pharmacological activities including anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anti-tumor, and hepatoprotective effects.

, an ancient plant species endemic to Yunnan Province, China, remains underexplored in terms of its endophytic bacterial communities. The plant tissue pedicel serves as the connection between the flower and the stem, not only delivers nutrients but also transmits metabolic substances from endophytic bacteria to the nectar during long-term microbial colonization and probably improves the antagonistic activity of nectar against yeast. Hence, 138 isolates of endophytic bacteria have been isolated in this study from the pedicels of 12- and 60-year-old .

Quinolone alkaloids are N-heterocycles with extensive structural diversity, mainly derived from in fungi from anthranilic acid and amino acids as precursors with a wide range of biological activities as antifungal, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and insecticidal activities. The quinolone basic skeleton comprised of either 2-quinolones or 4-quinolones generated more than one hundred compounds. Several reviews discussed quinolones; particularly, the fluoroquinolones, yet few studies tackled natural quinolones.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how chronic lung diseases influence the development of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) in lung transplant recipients, focusing on the molecular and microbial changes in their bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF).
- Researchers analyzed BALF samples from 195 lung transplant patients over 10 years using advanced sequencing and metabolomics techniques, revealing significant differences in microbiome and metabolome profiles based on the underlying lung disease.
- Results show that specific microbial species like Pseudomonas in cystic fibrosis and unique metabolites in alpha-1-antitrypsin disease correlate with CLAD development, suggesting that tailored treatment strategies could improve long-term outcomes for lung transplant patients.
