A one-pot biomimetic synthesis of (-)-angiopterlactone B and its enantiomer (+)-angiopterlactone B has been accomplished via TBAF-catalyzed tandem ring contraction followed by oxa-Michael/Michael addition sequence. Comparison of specific optical rotations, absolute configurations, and CD spectra of natural, synthesized (-)-angiopterlactone B and (+)-angiopterlactone B unequivocally proves that the isolated angiopterlactone B must be levorotatory. Synthesis of hitherto undiscovered natural products 18 and 20 and analogues of angiopterlactone B demonstrate the versatility of this method.

Quinoa polysaccharides have attracted significant research interest in recent years due to their diverse biological activities, including antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunoregulatory properties. These attributes align with the growing global demand for natural, functional food ingredients, positioning quinoa polysaccharides as a valuable resource in food science and technology. This review presents an overview of the various bioactivities of quinoa polysaccharides, critically evaluates the methods used for their extraction and purification, describes their structural characteristics, and discusses their practical applications across multiple areas within the food industry, including food additives, meat products, health foods, and innovative food packaging.

Vibriosis caused by Vibrio anguillarum has been an important bacterial disease in cultured rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). In the present study, we evaluated the protective efficacy of a vaccine that consists of formalin-killed (FK) V. anguillarum and the alr genes knockout auxotrophic-live (AL) V.

In recent years, there has been a surge in the production of kombucha-a functional beverage obtained via microbial fermentation of tea. However, fresh, unpasteurized kombucha is sensitive to quality deterioration as a result of, among other factors, oxidation. The addition of hops seems to be promising, due to their antioxidative properties, which may improve the stability of kombucha.

Nonenzymatic reactions sometimes construct complex structures observed in natural products, showing us unique chemical reactions. In our exploration of natural products, we identified a novel type of isochromene-derived polyketide dimer with a 6/6/6/6/6 five-ring system from along with several new related polyketides. We demonstrated that isochromene and its oxidized derivative undergo nonenzymatic dimerization under acidic conditions to give .

An unsuccessful attempt to directly construct alkaloid iheyamine A from a fascaplysin framework resulted in the discovery of a novel synthetic approach to alkylated δ,γ-biscarboline derivatives. With the easy-to-operate reaction conditions of this protocol, 18 alkylated biscarbolines have been prepared in moderate to good yields. An unexpected domino transformation was proposed to involve a pyridinium ring-opening/aza-electrocyclization/oxidative deformylation sequence.
