Four new colchicinoids were isolated from the seeds of Gloriosa superba together with the known compounds colchicoside (4) and 3-de-O-methylcolchicine-3-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-3-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (6), by means of conventional column chromatography and LC-DAD-SPE-NMR. The new compounds were identified as N-deacetyl-N-formyl-3-de-O-methylcolchicine-3-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (1), 3-de-O-methylcolchicine-3-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→6)-3-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (2), N-deacetyl-N-formyl-3-de-O-methylcolchicine-3-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→6)-3-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (3), and 3-de-O-methylcolchicine-3-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→3)-3-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (5). The structure elucidation was performed by means of NMR (COSY, HSQC, and HMBC), HRESIMS/MS, and GCMS data analysis.

Mammalian milk contains a variety of complex bioactive and nutritional components and microorganisms. These microorganisms have diverse compositions and functional roles that impact host health and disease pathophysiology, especially mastitis. The advent and use of high throughput omics technologies, including metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, metaproteomics, metametabolomics, as well as culturomics in milk microbiome studies suggest strong relationships between host phenotype and milk microbiome signatures in mastitis.

The Lentinus edodes polysaccharide (LEP) was extracted with a new subcritical water extraction (SWE) enhanced with deep eutectic solvent (DES) method and then purified with a DEAE-52 cellulose column and a Sephadex G-100 column. Two purified polysaccharides (LEP1 and LEP2) were obtained and their structure, antioxidant activity, and immunomodulatory activity were analyzed. LEP1 and LEP2 were composed of mannose, glucose, and galactose with a molar ratio of 1:12.

Vector-borne diseases pose a severe threat to human life, contributing significantly to global mortality. Understanding the structure-function relationship of the vector proteins is pivotal for effective insecticide development due to their involvement in drug resistance and disease transmission. This study reports the structural and dynamic features of D1-like dopamine receptors (DARs) in disease-causing mosquito species, such as Aedes aegypti, Culex quinquefasciatus, Anopheles gambiae, and Anopheles stephensi.

Achieving high ionic conductivity and stable performance at low temperatures remains a significant challenge in sodium-metal batteries (SMBs). In this study, we propose a novel electrolyte design strategy that elucidates the solvation structure-function relationship within mixed solvent systems. A mixture of diglyme and 1,3-dioxolane was developed to optimize the solvation structure towards superior low-temperature electrolyte.

The success of pollen-pistil interaction in Mauritia flexuosa (buriti), a palm adapted to the humid ecosystems, 'veredas', within the Cerrado, is influenced by intrinsic and environmental factors. Its supra-annual flowering, dioecy, and adverse climate conditions pose challenges for fertilization, therefore information on floral biology is essential. This study aimed to ascertain stigma receptivity, and elucidate structural, cytochemical, and ultrastructural aspects of the pollen-pistil relationship.
