Objective: To research the algae-inhibitory effect and mechanism of a plant source n-caprylic acid extracted from coconut oil on M. aeruginosa.
Methods: The M. aeruginosa were treated with 0, 12.5, 25, 50 and 100 μL/L densities of coconut oil n-caprylic acid respectively. And the change of algal density, cell permeability and antioxidant ability were measured.
Results: The greater the concentration of coconut oil n-caprylic acid, the stronger the inhibition on M. aeruginosa. When the concentration was 100 μL/L and processed time was 96 h, the inhibition ratio on M. aeruginosa reached 99%. Compared with the control group, the algal liquid conductivity, nucleic acid content and protein content of experimental groups increased significantly. The SOD activity enhanced with the increasing of coconut oil n-caprylic acid concentration (under 25 μL/L), but when beyond a certain concentration (exceed 25 μL/L), its activity weakened greatly. And the MDA content increased with the increasing of coconut oil n-caprylic acid concentration.
Conclusion: Coconut oil n-caprylic acid has a significant inhibiting effect on M. aeruginosa. Its mechanism may be largely related to cell membrane permeability change and antioxidant capacity reducing.

Bacterial resistance has led to increased interest in the use of antibacterial peptides (AMPs), but their clinical application is limited by poor stability and solubility, as well as complex cytotoxicity. Chemical modification is a common strategy to modulate AMPs. In this study, a de novo designed AMP (G3) was modified by adding an alkyl acid at the N-terminal and a monosaccharide at the C-terminal.

Article Synopsis
- Bladder cancer treatment involves using intravesical cytotoxic drugs like gemcitabine, but challenges include its hydrophilicity, short half-life, and rapid urine dilution and excretion.
- To enhance drug effectiveness, researchers synthesized N-acyl-gemcitabine derivatives with improved lipophilicity, leading to increased cytotoxicity and better passive diffusion into cancer cells.
- By grafting bioadhesive wheat germ agglutinin onto PLGA nanoparticles, the strategy aims to improve retention in the bladder and cellular uptake, highlighting a new approach for more effective drug delivery in bladder cancer therapy.

Hispanic style soft non-fermented cheeses, such as queso fresco (QF) have been linked to outbreaks and recalls. Salmonella is one of the main causes of these incidents. Due to lack of ripening or post-processing antimicrobial treatments, incorporating GRAS antimicrobials to production process may be a suitable approach to minimize microbial risk in QF.
