As a plant classified under the "medicine food homology" concept, garlic offers various health benefits and comes in many different varieties. In this study, the metabolite composition of different garlic varieties were analyzed using LC-MS/MS quadrupole-Orbitrap mass spectrometry and ICP-MS. A total of 30 chemical elements and 1256 metabolites were identified. Significant differences in chemical elements and metabolomics profiles were observed among the five garlic groups (VIP > 1.5). Compared to WG, PG contained 5 unique compounds, HG had 15 unique compounds, SCG had 18 unique compounds, and SBG had 26 unique compounds. Furthermore, the results showed that WG had smaller differences with PG and HG, but significant differences with SBG and SCG. KEGG analysis revealed metabolic pathways associated with the formation of differential metabolites. These findings uncover the differences and mechanisms in the composition of various garlic varieties, providing a theoretical foundation for distinguishing the nutritional components of different garlic types.

Nidustrin A (1), the first cysteine-retained emestrin featuring a unique sulfur-containing 18-membered macrocyclic lactone, along with four biogenetically related compounds (2-5), and one known analogue secoemestrin C (6), were isolated from the large-scale culture of Aspergillus nidulans, an endophytic fungus derived from the Whitmania pigra. Compounds 2 and 3 represent the second examples of noremestrin besides the previously reported noremestrin A, and the single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of compound 2 provided solid evidence for the intriguing skeleton of noremestrin. Their structures were determined by extensive spectroscopic data, electronic circular dichroism calculations, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

Histone lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) is overexpressed in various solid and hematological tumors, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic target, but there are currently no LSD1 inhibitors available on the market. In this study we employed a computer-guided approach to identify novel LSD1/EGFR dual inhibitors as a potential therapeutic agent for non-small cell lung cancer. Through a multi-stage virtual screening approach, we found L-1 and L-6, two compounds with unique scaffolds that effectively inhibit LSD1 with IC values of 6.

This research presents a systematic review of the application of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to detect volatile organic compounds (VOCs). VOCs, compounds with high vapor pressure at ambient temperature and normal pressure, are widely present in a variety of industrial and living environments. VOCs are not only hazardous to the environment but also have a severe impact on human health.
