Patients suffering epilepsy caused by the gain-of-function mutants of the hKCNT1 potassium channels are drug refractory. In this study, we cloned a novel human KCNT1B channel isoform using the brain cDNA library and conducted patch-clamp and molecular docking analyses to characterize the pharmacological properties of the hKCNT1B channel using thirteen drugs. Among cinchona alkaloids, we found that hydroquinine exerted the strongest blocking effect on the hKCNT1B channel, especially the F313L mutant.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study identifies chemical markers from various types of camellia oils using techniques like GC-MS, LC-MS, and HNMR, revealing distinctive compounds in each oil type.
  • - Key markers found include squalene and β-amyrin for hot-pressed oils, gallic acid and hydroquinidine for aqueous-enzymatic oils, and oleic and linoleic acids for distinguishing those oils via HNMR.
  • - Overall, the findings enhance understanding of the chemical diversity in camellia oils and suggest effective strategies for differentiating between them based on their unique compositions.

Analysis of metabolic spectrum characteristics of naturally and cultivated Ophiocordyceps sinensis based on non-targeted metabolomics.

Sci Rep

July 2024

State Key Laboratory of Plateau Ecology and Agriculture, Qinghai Academy of Animal Science and Veterinary Medicine, Qinghai University, Xining, 810016, China.

The analysis of the differences in metabolic profiles between naturally Ophiocordyceps sinensis (NO) and cultivated Ophiocordyceps sinensis (CO) is an essential process for the medicinal value mining of Ophiocordyceps sinensis. Non-targeted metabolomics was used to compare the differences in metabolite composition and abundance between NO and CO. Total metabolite composition found that NO is rich in organic acids and derivatives, and CO is rich in lipids and lipid-like molecules.
