Natural products are an important source of chemical scaffolds that have diverse biological activities. They can be used directly or as starting templates for the development of innovative pharmaceutical agents. Among natural products, quinoline alkaloids are one of the most extensively studied groups. 2,4-Quinolinedione (2,4-QD) alkaloids, which are found in a variety of natural sources, possess valuable biological properties. This review examines the natural occurrence and bioactivities of 2,4-QD alkaloids, which have not been studied in as much depth in previous research.

Department of Biological Sciences in Sport, Faculty of Sport Sciences and Health, Shahid Beheshti University, Tehran, Iran.
Given the growing concern over the impact of brain health in individuals with overweight, understanding how mental exertion (ME) during exercise affects substrate oxidation and cardiorespiratory outcomes is crucial. This study examines how ME impacts these outcomes during an incremental exercise test in adults with overweight. Seventeen adults who were overweight completed an incremental exercise test on a cycle ergometer two times, with and without the Stroop task.

An endoplasmic reticulum-localized Cu transporter, PhHMA5II1, interacts with copper chaperones and plays an important role in Cu detoxification in petunia. Copper (Cu) is an essential element for plant growth but toxic when present in excess. In this study we present the functional characterization of a petunia (Petunia hybrida) P-type heavy-metal ATPases (HMAs), PhHMA5II1.
