Wall. ex G. Don, an unexplored medicinal plant belonging to the family Berberidaceae, is a large deciduous shrub found in Western Himalaya between 1800-3000 m. Chemical profiling of fruit, leaf, root and stem was done by direct analysis in real time mass spectrometry followed by multivariate analysis for discrimination among the plant parts. The bioactive compounds, including magnoflorine, berberine, jatrorrhizine, thalifendine/berberrubine, demethyleneberberine, reticuline, 8-oxoberberine, N-methyltetrahydroberberine, tetrahydropalmatine, tetrahydroberberine and palmatine, were identified by their exact mass measurement and the corresponding molecular formula of each compound. A comparative study of distribution pattern for all these bioactive alkaloids showed qualitative and quantitative variations in different parts of Principal component analysis clearly discriminated each part of plant.

Thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP), as a pivotal protein in the cellular stress response, plays a significant role in the progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Consequently, therapeutic strategies aimed at targeting TXNIP may offer novel interventions for patients with DN. Our study is to explore the therapeutic potential of targeting TXNIP in mitigating renal tubular injury induced by hyperglycemia.

Isoxazolidines are structurally important scaffolds in many natural products and bioactive compounds. Herein, we report a novel synthetic method for isoxazolidine derivatives through visible-light-induced photoredox cascade cyclization of nitroarenes with triethylamine under aerobic conditions. The resultant 5-hydroxyl isoxazolidine compounds were generally obtained in moderate yields with a broad range of compatible functionalities.

Fungal specialized metabolites are known for their potent biological activities, among which tropolone sesquiterpenoids (TS) stand out for their diverse bioactivities. Here, we report cytotoxic and proliferation inhibitory effects of the recently discovered TS compounds 4-hydroxyxenovulene B and 4-dihydroxy norpycnidione, and the structurally related 4-hydroxy norxenovulene B and xenovulene B. Inhibition of metabolic activity after TS treatment was observed in Jurkat, PC-3 and FAIK3-5 cells, whereas MDA-MB-231 cells were unresponsive to treatment.
