Two new 4-hydroxy-2-pyridone alkaloids furanpydone A and B ( and ), along with two known compounds N-hydroxyapiosporamide () and apiosporamide () were isolated from the endophytic fungus sp. GZWMJZ-606 in Thunb. Furanpydone A and B had unusual 5-(7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane)-4-hydroxy-2-pyridone skeleton. Their structures including absolute configurations were determined on the basis of spectroscopic analysis, as well as the -ray diffraction experiment. Compound showed inhibitory activity against ten cancer cell lines (MKN-45, HCT116, K562, A549, DU145, SF126, A-375, 786O, 5637, and PATU8988T) with IC values from 4.35 to 9.72 µM. Compounds , and showed moderate inhibitory effects against four Gram-positive strains (, methicillin-resistant , , ) and one Gram-negative strain () with MIC values from 1.56 to 25 µM. However, compounds - showed no obvious inhibitory activity against two Gram-negative bacteria ( and ) and two pathogenic fungi ( and ) at 50 µM. These results show that compounds - are expected to be developed as lead compounds for antibacterial or anti-tumor drugs.

X-ray diffraction (XRD) has evolved significantly since its inception, becoming a crucial tool for material structure characterization. Advancements in theory, experimental techniques, diffractometers and detection technology have led to the acquisition of highly accurate diffraction patterns, surpassing previous expectations. Extracting comprehensive information from these patterns necessitates different models due to the influence of both electron density and thermal motion on diffracted beam intensity.

Natural coumarins and isocoumarins show significant therapeutic potential against cancer in preclinical studies by targeting multiple pathways and processes. These compounds influence several critical cellular processes, such as apoptosis, autophagy, and cell cycle regulation, which are pivotal in cancer development and progression. Their capability to target multiple signalling pathways provides a strategic advantage over single-target therapies, which are often limited by drug resistance.

Background: Iron deficiency is prevalent among heart failure patients and is associated with worse clinical outcomes, including decreased quality of life and functional capacity. This condition often results in a higher incidence of hospitalization and mortality. Iron supplementation, particularly with intravenous ferric carboxymaltose (FCM), has shown potential benefits as an adjunct therapy in heart failure management.

SARS-CoV-2 continues to pose a threat to public health. Current therapeutics remain limited to direct acting antivirals that lack distinct mechanisms of action and are already showing signs of viral resistance. The virus encodes an ADP-ribosylhydrolase macrodomain (Mac1) that plays an important role in the coronaviral lifecycle by suppressing host innate immune responses.
