Glutathione (GSH), a tripeptide essential for maintaining redox balance in the human body, plays a critical role in protecting cells from oxidative stress. A deficiency in GSH is linked to increased oxidative damage and the progression of various disorders, including cancer and neurological diseases.

Mammalian Tolerance to Amino Acid Heterochirality
Organisms use amino acids predominantly in l‐configuration. On the other hand, a series of studies show that a variety of d‐amino acids also occur in mammals and amino acid homochirality is not complete. Mammals de novo synthesize most amino acids with l‐configuration, but serine and aspartate are converted from l‐ to d‐configuration by endogenous ...

Acetylation‐Deacetylation‐Driven Natural Product Biosynthesis
This review summarizes the role of acetylation‐deacetylation in natural product biosynthesis, including acetylation followed by deacetylation after several biosynthetic steps, acetylation‐mediated rearrangement, acetylation‐triggered elimination, and the acetylation cycle as a regulatory mechanism. These processes are vital for the formation of complex

A chemical probe CBN‐P based on the neuroprotective cannabinoid cannabinol (CBN) was developed and synthesized. CNB‐P was found to have a similar mechanism of action as the parent compound and was used in click‐CLEM microscopy studies and affinity‐based protein profiling to identify the mitochondrial protein isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2) as one ...

A Ketol‐Acid Reductoisomerase Inhibitor That Has Antituberculosis and Herbicidal Activity
1a and 1f are potent inhibitors of ketolacid reductoisomerase (KARI). 1f has good antituberculosis activity and 1a has herbicidal activity against Brassica campestris and Amaranthus retroflexus. Abstract Ketol‐acid reductoisomerase (KARI) is a target for the development of new biocidal agents. This is based on its essential role in branched chain amino
