[email protected]; Tel.: +57-1-3208320 (Ext 4099) (A.J.E.M.) Abstract Sphingolipids are lipids derived from an 18-carbons unsaturated amino alcohol, the sphingosine. Ceramide, sphingomyelins, sphingosine-1-phosphates, gangliosides and globosides, are part of this group of lipids that participate in important cellular roles such as structural part of plasmatic and organelle membranes maintaining their function and integrity, cell signaling response, cell growth, cell cycle, cell death, inflammation, cell migration and differentiation, autophagy, angiogenesis, immune system. The metabolism of these lipids involves a broad and complex network of reactions that convert one lipid into others through different specialized enzymes. Impairment of sphingolipids metabolism has been associated with several disorders, from several lysosomal storage diseases, known as sphingolipidoses, to polygenic diseases such as diabetes and Parkinson and Alzheimer diseases. -

Applications of Mass Spectrometry in Natural Product Drug Discovery for Malaria: Targeting Plasmodium Falciparum Thioredoxin Reductase
Applications of mass spectrometry in natural product drug discovery for malaria: Targeting Plasmodium falciparum thioredoxin reductase by Ranjith K. Munigunti A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama May 5, 2013 Keywords: Chromatography, mass spectrometry, malaria, Plasmodium falciparum, thioredoxin reductase, thioredoxin Copyright 2013 by Ranjith K. Munigunti Approved by Angela I. Calderón, Chair, Assistant Professor of Pharmacal Sciences C. Randall Clark, Professor of Pharmacal Sciences Jack DeRuiter, Professor of Pharmacal Sciences Forrest Smith, Associate Professor of Pharmacal Sciences Orlando Acevedo, Associate Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry Abstract Malaria is considered to be the dominant cause of death in low income countries especially in Africa. Malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum is a most lethal form of the disease because of its rapid spread and the development of drug resistance. The main problem in the treatment of malaria is the emergence of drug resistant malaria parasites. Over the years/decades, natural products have been used for the treatment or prevention of number of diseases. They can serve as compounds of interest both in their natural form and as templates for synthetic modification. Nature has provided a wide variety of compounds that inspired the development of potential therapeutics such as quinine, artemisinin and lapachol as antimalarial agents. As the resistance to known antimalarials is increasing, there is a need to expand the antimalarial drug discovery efforts for new classes of molecules to combat malaria. This research work focuses on the applications of ultrafiltration, mass spectrometry and molecular modeling based approaches to identify inhibitors of Plasmodium falciparum thioredoxin reductase (PfTrxR), our main target and Plasmodium falciparum glutathione reductase (PfGR) as an alternative target for malaria drug discovery. -
Oxyresveratrol의 기원, 생합성, 생물학적 활성 및 약물동력학
KOREAN J. FOOD SCI. TECHNOL.

Oxyresveratrol is a stilbenoid, a type of natural phenol and a phytoalexin produced in the roots, stems, leaves, and fruits of several plants. It was first isolated from the heartwood of Artocarpus lakoocha, and has also been found in various plants, including Smilax china, Morus alba, Varatrum nigrum, Scirpus maritinus, and Maclura pomifera. Oxyresveratrol, an aglycone of mulberroside A, has been produced by microbial biotransformation or enzymatic hydrolysis of a glycosylated stilbene mulberroside A, which is one of the major compounds of the roots of M. alba. Oxyresveratrol shows less cytotoxicity, better antioxidant activity and polarity, and higher cell permeability and bioavailability than resveratrol (trans-3,5,4'-trihydroxystilbene), a well-known antioxidant, suggesting that oxyresveratrol might be a potential candidate for use in health functional food and medicine. This review focuses on the plant sources, chemical characteristics, analysis, biosynthesis, and biological activities of oxyresveratrol as well as describes the perspectives on further exploration of oxyresveratrol. -

Received: 28 April 2020; Accepted: 30 May 2020; Published: 4 June 2020 Abstract: Grapevine trunk diseases (GTDs), which are associated with complex of xylem-inhabiting fungi, represent one of the major threats to vineyard sustainability currently. Botryosphaeria dieback, one of the major GTDs, is associated with wood colonization by Botryosphaeriaceae fungi, especially Neofusicoccum parvum. We used GC-MS and HPLC-MS to compare the wood metabolomic responses of the susceptible Vitis vinifera subsp. vinifera (V. v. subsp. vinifera) and the tolerant Vitis vinifera subsp. sylvestris (V. v. subsp. sylvestris) after artificial inoculation with Neofusicoccum parvum (N. parvum). N. parvum inoculation triggered major changes in both primary and specialized metabolites in the wood. In both subspecies, infection resulted in a strong decrease in sugars (fructose, glucose, sucrose), whereas sugar alcohol content (mannitol and arabitol) was enhanced. -

Over the past 27 years numerous clinical studies have found a linkages with the ANTIOXIDANTS in particular, the POLYPHENOLS, RESVERATROL, CATECHINS, QUERCERTIN and ANTHOCYANDINS in red wine and reduced incidences of cardiovascular disease. However, the alcohol in wine limits the benefits of wine. Studies have shown that zero alcohol red wine and red wine extract which contain the same ANTIOXIDANTS including POLYPHENOLS, RESVERATROL, CATECHINS, QUERCERTIN and ANTHOCYANDINS has the same is not more positive health benefits. The following literature review details some of the most recent positive health benefits derived from the ANTIOXIDANTS found in red wine POLYPHENOLS: RESVERATROL, CATECHINS, QUERCERTIN and ANTHOCYANDINS. The positive polyphenolic antioxidant effects of the polyphenols in red wine include: • Cardio Vascular Health Benefits • Increase antioxidants in the cardiovascular system • Assisting blood glucose control • Skin health • Bone Health • Memory • Liking blood and brain health • Benefits -
Molecular Cloning and Functional Characterization of an O-Methyltransferase Catalyzing 4 -O-Methylation of Resveratrol in Acorus

Although the biosynthetic pathway of resveratrol has been fully elucidated, the characterization of resveratrol-specific O-methyltransferases remains elusive. In this study, we used RNA-seq analysis to identify a putative aromatic O-methyltransferase gene, AcOMT1,inAcorus calamus. Recombinant AcOMT1 expressed in Escherichia coli showed high 40-O-methylation activity toward resveratrol and its derivative, isorhapontigenin. We purified a reaction product enzymatically formed from resveratrol by AcOMT1 and confirmed it as 40-O-methylresveratrol (deoxyrhapontigenin). Resveratrol and isorhapontigenin were the most preferred substrates with apparent Km values of 1.8 mM and 4.2 mM, respectively. Recombinant AcOMT1 exhibited reduced activity toward other resveratrol derivatives, piceatannol, oxyresveratrol, and pinostilbene. In contrast, re- combinant AcOMT1 exhibited no activity toward pterostilbene or pinosylvin. These results indicate that AcOMT1 showed high 40-O-methylation activity toward stilbenes with non-methylated phloroglucinol rings. -

Here, the anti-tumorigenic properties of resveratrol and structural analogues oxyresveratrol, pinos- Resveratrol tilbene, pterostilbene and tetramethoxystilbene (TMS) were studied in vitro, using in the malignant human MCF- 7 breast cancer cell line and non-tumorigenic breast epithelial cell line MCF-10A. Cell viability and migration assays showed that methoxylated analogues of resveratrol are more potent anti- tumorigenic compounds than resveratrol and its hydroxylated analogue oxyresveratrol, with 2,3’,4,5’-tetra- methoxy-trans-stilbene (TMS) being the most potent compound. TMS decreased MCF-7 tumor cell viability with 50% at 3.6 μM and inhibited migration with 37.5 ± 14.8% at 3 μM. In addition, TMS activated the AHR more potently (EC50 in a reporter gene assay 2.0 μM) and induced AHR-mediated induction of cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) activity (EC50 value of 0.7 μM) more than resveratrol and the other analogues tested. -

Relevant identified uses of the substance or mixture and uses advised against The pharmacological activities and mechanisms of action of natural phenylpropanoid glycosides (PPGs) extracted from a variety of plants such as antitumor, antivirus, anti-inflammation, antibacteria, antiartherosclerosis, anti-platelet-aggregation, antihypertension, antifatigue, analgesia, hepatoprotection, immunosuppression, protection of sex and learning behavior, protection of neurodegeneration, reverse transformation of tumor cells, inhibition of telomerase and shortening telomere length in tumor cells, effects on enzymes and cytokines, antioxidation, free radical scavenging and fast repair of oxidative damaged DNA, have been reported in the literature. Phenylpropanoids (PPs) belong to the largest group of secondary metabolites produced by plants, mainly, in response to biotic or abiotic stresses such as infections, wounding, UV irradiation, exposure to ozone, pollutants, and other hostile environmental conditions. It is thought that the molecular basis for the protective action of phenylpropanoids in plants is their antioxidant and free radical scavenging properties. These numerous phenolic compounds are major biologically active components of human diet, spices, aromas, wines, beer, essential oils,propolis, and traditional medicine.
