AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Seven new pimarane-type diterpene derivatives, libertellenones O-S (1-5) and eutypellenones A and B (6 and 7), together with two known compounds (8 and 9), were isolated from the culture of Eutypella sp. D-1 obtained from high-latitude soil of the Arctic. Their structures were elucidated from spectroscopic data, as well as experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism (ECD) analysis. Structurally, compounds 1-5 possess a cyclopropyl-fused pimarane diterpene moiety, whereas compounds 6 and 7 share an unusual cyclobutyl-fused pimarane diterpene skeleton. Compounds 1-9 exhibited cytotoxicities against HeLa, MCF-7, HCT-116, PANC-1, and SW1990 cells, with IC values in the range of 0.3 to 29.4 μM. Compounds 6 and 7 could dose-dependently inhibit the activity of NF-κB and exhibited significantly inhibitory effects on nitric oxide production induced by lipopolysaccharide.

Danshen ( Bunge) is a perennial herbaceous plant of the Salvia genus in the family Lamiaceae. Its dry root is one of the important traditional Chinese herbal medicines with a long officinal history. The yield and quality of are influenced by various factors, among which drought is one of the most significant types of abiotic stress.

Background: Renal fibrosis, a hallmark of chronic kidney disease, is closely associated with dysregulated gluconeogenesis. Tanshinone I (Tan I), a bioactive compound derived from the traditional Chinese medicine Danshen, exhibits antifibrotic and anti-inflammatory properties. However, its effects on gluconeogenesis and the mechanisms through which it alleviates renal fibrosis remain unclear.

Introduction: Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder associated with mitochondrial dysfunction, apoptosis, and neuroinflammation. These factors can lead to the overactivation of c-JNK and p38MAPK.
Methods: In rats, stereotactic intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of propionic acid (PPA) results in autistic-like characteristics such as poor social interaction, repetitive behaviours, and restricted communication.

With the extension of heat processing, the oxidation and formation of harmful substances in oils appeared. The effect of the high-temperature stages (180 °C, four stages I, II, III, and IV were divided according to the heating-up period) on the fatty acid profile, the thermal properties, the composition of total polar compounds, and the physicochemical properties of rapeseed oil (RSO) were investigated. As the heating processing, carnosic acid (CA) significantly reduces the peroxide value, p-anisidine value, trans-fatty acid, the action of alkyl radicals, and the formation of oxidized triglyceride monomers (Ox-TGM).

Background: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease characterized by relapsing inflammation of the colon. Tanshinone IIA, a compound derived from traditional Chinese medicine, has demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties and may enhance treatment outcomes when combined with mesalazine. This study aims to determine the overall response rate of Tanshinone IIA in combination with mesalazine for the treatment of UC.
