Nine previously undescribed sesquiterpenoids, named magnograndins A-I, as well as fourteen known ones, were obtained from the 70% acetone extract of the leaves of Magnolia grandiflora. Their structures were ascertained based on the spectroscopic evidences. The assignment of the relative configuration of magnograndin A was further confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. 1β,10α-Epoxyparthenolide, parthenolide, and micheliolide exhibited potent cytotoxic activity against MDA-MB-468, AGS, HCT116, Hela, and MDA-MB-231 human cancer cell lines with IC values ranging from 1.76 to 16.11 μM. 1β,10α-Epoxyparthenolide and micheliolide potently inhibited NF-κB transcriptional activity with IC of 13.92 and 8.95 μM, respectively. The expression levels of NF-κB downstream protein p65 and XIAP were clearly down-regulated in 1β,10α-epoxyparthenolide and micheliolide treated cells, which demonstrated the inhibition of NF-κB signaling pathway.

The phyllosphere (aerial plant surfaces colonized by microorganisms) remains an understudied ecosystem in terms of bacterial biogeography, particularly at intermediate or local spatial scales. This study characterized the phyllosphere bacterial community on the leaves of 87 trees sampled throughout a small town, encompassing an area of approximately 60 km. Sequencing of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene revealed the dominant bacterial phyla to be Alphaproteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Acidobacteria, consistent with other studies of the phyllosphere.

Six previously undescribed sesquiterpenes, magnogranoides A-F (1-6), along with 10 known terpenes, were isolated from the leaves of Magnolia grandiflora L. Six previously undescribed sesquiterpene derivatives (11a-11e and 14a) were synthesized using chemical methods. Those structures were identified through extensive spectroscopic data and quantum chemical calculations.

Atmospheric particulate matter (PM) emission from overpasses is serious. To optimize the solution of planting design in the overpass, it is essential to understand the plant's ability to capture PM. In this study, leaf samples were collected from 11 plant species commonly existing in five overpass greening areas in Changsha, China.

Article Synopsis
- In the absence of direct comparisons, researchers used unanchored matching-adjusted indirect comparisons to evaluate the effectiveness of zanubrutinib against ibrutinib and rituximab in patients with relapsed or refractory marginal zone lymphoma (MZL).
- They applied logistic propensity score models to align patient data from two phase II trials with aggregate data from larger studies involving ibrutinib and rituximab, focusing on factors like previous treatments, MZL subtype, and patient age.
- Results indicated that zanubrutinib provided significant improvements in overall response and progression-free survival compared to both ibrutinib and rituximab for patients with previously treated MZL.
