Isoprenoids and Alzheimer's disease: A complex relationship

Neurobiology of Disease, 2006
Cholesterol metabolism has been linked to Alzheimer's disease (AD) neuropathology, which is characterized by amyloid plaques, neurofibrillary tangles and neuroinflammation. Indeed, the use of statins, which inhibit cholesterol and isoprenoid biosynthesis,

Archaeal isoprenoid biosynthesis

, 2018
Many high value natural products - including artemisinin, squalene, and farnesene – are isoprenoids. Efforts to commercially produce isoprenoids are often complicated by low concentrations of isoprenoid precursors and the toxicity of isoprenoids in common production platforms (i.e. bacteria and yeasts).

ATP Citrate Lyase in Metabolic Disease: Mechanistic Insights and Clinical Potential

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ATP citrate lyase (ACLY) is a central metabolic hub that diverts mitochondrial citrate to fuel de novo lipogenesis, cholesterol biosynthesis, and protein acetylation. Given its robust correlation with pathological changes in multiple human diseases, ACLY inhibitors featuring distinct pharmacological strengths have been developed for therapeutic ...

Gut microbiome in pediatric acute pancreatitis and Crohn's disease versus irritable bowel syndrome and healthy controls

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Pediatric acute pancreatitis (AP), Crohn's disease (CD), and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are associated with gut dysbiosis, but differences and similarities between conditions are unknown. We hypothesized that gut microbial ecology would differ across these disorders. Methods Stool was collected from 120 subjects (AP [n = 30], CD

Separation of trichothecene mycotoxins in a matrix of hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) seed, and quantification of deoxynivalenol in hemp grain infected with Fusarium graminearum

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Fusarium graminearum, one of the causal agents of ear rot in maize and head blight of cereal grains, also infects hemp (Cannabis sativa L. containing a maximum of 0.3% tetrahydrocannabinol or THC). This fungal pathogen produces trichothecene mycotoxins when it infects maize and cereal grains, but little is known about its production

Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...

From wild to tamed: Reimagining novel crops through omics and local plant diversity

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The global food system faces growing pressure from climate change, biodiversity loss, and rising nutritional demands. Agriculture has increased yields but reduced crop diversity, flavor, and nutritional quality, leaving societies vulnerable and dependent on a narrow set of staple species.

Screening of Potential Antibiotics, Inhibitors of the Nonmevalonate Pathway of Isoprenoid Biosynthesis (2-C-Methyl-D-Erythritol-2,4-Cyclodiphosphate Derivatives)

Антибиотики и Химиотерапия, 2020
The recently discovered nonmevalonate pathway of isoprenoid biosynthesis Is a prospective target in screening of new antibiotics. Because of the absence of the pathway in the animal cells, the specific inhibitors of the pathway will be a new class of ...
