is well-known as the second-largest contributor of fungal natural products. Based on NMR guided isolation, three nitrogen-containing secondary metabolites, including two new compounds, variotin B () and coniosulfide E (), together with a known compound, unguisin A (), were isolated from the ethyl acetate (EtOAc) extract of the deep-sea fungus IV17-109. The planar structures of and were elucidated by an extensive analysis of their spectroscopic data (HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR). The absolute configuration of was determined by comparison of its optical rotation value with those of the synthesized analogs. Compound is a rare, naturally occurring substance with an unusual cysteinol moiety. Furthermore, showed moderate anti-inflammatory activity with an IC value of 20.0 µM. These results revealed that could produce structurally diverse nitrogenous secondary metabolites, which can be used for further studies to find anti-inflammatory leads.

Imidacloprid (IMI) stress positively correlates with the potential of coumarins to alleviate abiotic stress. However, little is known about the pathways and mechanisms by which coumarin reduces the IMI residue by regulating plant secondary metabolism and plant-microbe interactions. This study examined the impact of coumarin on the uptake, translocation, and metabolism of IMI in pepper plants by modulating the signal molecule levels and microbial communities in the rhizosphere and phyllosphere.

Introduction: The ability to detect pathogenic bacteria before the onsets of severe respiratory symptoms and to differentiate bacterial infection allows to improve patient-tailored treatment leading to a significant reduction in illness severity, comorbidity as well as antibiotic resistance. As such, this study refines the application of the non-invasive Secondary Electrospray Ionization-High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (SESI-HRMS) methodology for real-time and early detection of human respiratory bacterial pathogens in the respiratory tract of a mouse infection model.
Methods: A real-time analysis of changes in volatile metabolites excreted by mice undergoing a lung infection by Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pneumoniae were evaluated using a SESI-HRMS instrument.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is closely associated with environmental factors. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are a common environment pollutant which can induce autoimmune diseases. However, studies on the relationship between VOCs and RA are still unclear.
