is a valuable ornamental, edible, and medicinal plant with promising prospects for bioactivity development. We screened the bioactivity of eight fractions (Fr. A-I) obtained from the ethyl acetate phase of via silica gel column chromatography. The results indicated that the anti-inflammatory, antioxidative, and antimicrobial active components were mainly found in Fr. B*, E, A, and H; Fr. A-G; and Fr. D-I, respectively. Bioactivity-guided isolation identified 18 secondary metabolites. Compounds , -, , and - were isolated from the genus for the first time in this study, whereas the other compounds were also isolated from this plant for the first time. The structures of these compounds were elucidated through comprehensive spectroscopic techniques. Compounds , -, , , and demonstrated antioxidative activities comparable to those of ascorbic acid, whereas the remaining compounds exhibited diminished antioxidative activity. In terms of antimicrobial activity, compounds , , , and exerted inhibitory potency against , similar to tetracycline (MIC: 125 µg/mL). Other compounds showed moderate to weak inhibitory effects against and (MIC: 250-500 µg/mL). Molecular docking revealed that compounds , , , and showed strong binding affinity for , whereas compounds , , , , and showed strong binding affinity for . This research further increased the diversity of the secondary metabolites of , laying a foundation for the subsequent development and utilization of this species.

Background: Obesity is a multifactorial disease reaching pandemic proportions with increasing healthcare costs, advocating the development of better prevention and treatment strategies. Previous research indicates that the gut microbiome plays an important role in metabolic, hormonal, and neuronal cross-talk underlying eating behavior. We therefore aim to examine the effects of prebiotic and neurocognitive behavioral interventions on food decision-making and to assay the underlying mechanisms in a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT).

The Key Laboratory of Biotechnology for Medicinal Plant of Jiangsu Province, School of Life Science, Jiangsu Normal University, Xuzhou, Jiangsu, 221116, China.

Background: The variations in alliin content are a crucial criterion for evaluating garlic quality and is the sole precursor for allicin biosynthesis, which is significant for the growth, development, and stress response of garlic. WRKY transcription factors are essential for enhancing stress resistance by regulating the synthesis of plant secondary metabolites. However, the molecular mechanisms regulating alliin biosynthesis remain unexplored.
