Nucleophilic Reactions of Cyclobutenones and the Related 4,4‐Dichlorocyclobutenone Derivatives

European Journal of Organic Chemistry, EarlyView.
Cyclobutenone derivates and their 4,4‐dichloro counterparts have an uninterrupted attention as useful synthons in the synthesis of complex organic molecules. Their nucleophilic reactions remain underexplored. This review brings attention to these reactions, whose outcome is not straightforward.

Hypertensive rats show increased renal excretion and decreased tissue concentrations of glycine betaine, a protective osmolyte with diuretic properties.

PLoS ONE
Hypertension leads to water-electrolyte disturbances and end-organ damage. Betaine is an osmolyte protecting cells against electrolyte imbalance and osmotic stress, particularly in the kidneys.

Cereal foods are the major source of betaine in the Western diet - Analysis of betaine and free choline in cereal foods and updated assessments of betaine intake

, 2014
Betaine and its precursor choline are important components of one-carbon metabolism, remethylating homocysteine into methionine and providing methyl groups for DNA methylation.

From hydrogels to eutectogels: Emerging platforms for stretchable electronics

FlexMat, EarlyView.
The transition of wearable electronics toward long‐term reliability requires materials that resist dehydration without sacrificing tissue‐like softness and ionic conductivity. Eutectogels fulfill these demands by immobilizing deep eutectic solvents within tailored polymer networks.

Osmoprotectants in Halomonas elongata: High-affinity betaine transport system and choline-betaine pathway [PDF]

, 1996
The osmoregulatory pathways of the moderately halophilic bacterium Halomonas elongata DSM 3043 have been investigated. This strain grew optimally at 1.5 to 2 M NaCl in M63 glucose-defined medium.

The association between plasma betaine level and brain structural changes in schizophrenia

Schizophrenia
Previous studies on metabolic profiling have shown decreased plasma levels of betaine in schizophrenia. Betaine serves as a substrate of betaine-homocysteine methyltransferase, which converts homocysteine to methionine.

Interaction of betaine with the γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) transporters [PDF]

, 2023
Betaine, N-trimethyl glycine, is a natural, stable, and non-toxic osmolyte, whose supplementation is reported to ameliorate symptoms in neurological and neurodegenerative diseases.

Association between dietary betaine intake and overweight or obesity

Scientific Reports
Betaine exhibits significant physiological functions in organisms and has positive impacts on obesity, alcohol-induced and metabolic-associated liver disease, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and certain cancers.

Chronic High‐Salt Intake Reprograms Metabolic Homeostasis Driven by Dietary Rice Varieties via Microbial and Metabolite Associations

iMetaMed, EarlyView.
Using a 2% salt diet and a 10‐month feeding to model chronic human sodium exposure, we found that black rice improved glucose tolerance and short‐chain fatty acids, but 2% salt inverted black rice's blood glucose benefits. White rice + 2% salt treatment uniquely increased short‐chain fatty acids.

Cross species metabolic complementation of vitamin K2 biosynthesis determines emergent suppression of tomato Fusarium wilt

iMeta, EarlyView.
Multi‐omics approaches have revealed a cross‐species functional emergence phenomenon leading to emergent suppression of Fusarium wilt. We show that a three‑species consortium exhibits emergent suppression of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (Fol) that is absent in single or pairwise cultures.
