Integrated phytochemical and bioactivity profiling of Xanthium strumarium fruits from Korea and China: Implications for origin‐specific quality specification

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Geographic origin influences the phytochemical composition and biological activities of medicinal plant resources. Xanthium strumarium L. (XS) fruit is widely used in East Asian traditional medicine. However, current pharmacopeial standards primarily recognize Chinese‐derived material, despite the availability and traditional use of

Tyrosinase inhibitors and insecticidal materials produced by Burkholderia cepacia using squid pen as the sole carbon and nitrogen source [PDF]

, 2014
Reports of tyrosinase inhibitors from microorganisms are rare. A tyrosinase inhibitor- and insecticidal materials-producing bacterium, strain TKU026, was isolated from Taiwanese soil and identified as Burkholderia cepacia. Among the tested chitin-

Beyond Skin and Eyes: The Medical and Social Burden of Oculocutaneous Albinism in Africa: A Narrative Review

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) is a genetic disorder found worldwide, but its impact is particularly pronounced in the African continent. This results from both a higher prevalence and the persistent myths and superstitions surrounding the condition in many African communities.

Membrane-Associated Transporter Protein (MATP) Regulates Melanosomal pH and Influences Tyrosinase Activity.

PLoS ONE, 2015
The SLC45A2 gene encodes a Membrane-Associated Transporter Protein (MATP). Mutations of this gene cause oculocutaneous albinism type 4 (OCA4). However, the molecular mechanism of its action in melanogenesis has not been elucidated.

The Mycobacterium tuberculosis Rv0132c Gene Product Mtb‐FGD2 Can Act as an F420‐Dependent Glucose Dehydrogenase

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The role of the cell envelope‐associated Rv0132c/FGD2 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis has long been a subject of debate. Importantly, FGD2 is found only in pathogenic mycobacteria, making it a potential drug target. While some suggest it functions as a glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase, others propose it acts instead as an F420‐dependent ...

The molecular basis of brown, an old mouse mutation, and of an induced revertant to wild type

, 1990
The murine b locus encodes the tyrosinase related protein, TRP-1, a putative membrane-bound, copper-containing enzyme having about 40% amino acid identity with tyrosinase.

The Neuroprotective Effect of a Waste Byproduct Obtained From Pomegranate (Punica granatum)

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
The Effect of a Waste Byproduct Obtained From Pomegranate on Neurodegeneration. ABSTRACT Pomegranate is an exceptional fruit that can have several beneficial effects on human health. The peel of pomegranate, a waste product, should be recovered as it still contains valuable constituents, including phenolic compounds, minerals and fibre. The recovery of

Investigation of the Efficacy of Benzylidene-3-methyl-2-thioxothiazolidin-4-one Analogs with Antioxidant Activities on the Inhibition of Mushroom and Mammal Tyrosinases

Molecules
Based on the fact that substances with a β-phenyl-α,β-unsaturated carbonyl (PUSC) motif confer strong tyrosinase inhibitory activity, benzylidene-3-methyl-2-thioxothiazolidin-4-one (BMTTZD) analogs 1–8 were prepared as potential tyrosinase inhibitors ...

Integrative Bioinformatics, Experimental Validation, and Interpretable Machine Learning Reveal Oxyresveratrol‐Mediated Protection Against Cadmium‐Induced Lung Adenocarcinoma‐Related Transcriptional Dysregulation

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal strongly implicated in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) through mechanisms involving oxidative stress, epigenetic dysregulation, and chronic inflammation. This study aimed to identify Cd‐responsive genes associated with LUAD and to evaluate the protective effects of oxyresveratrol (O‐RES) against Cd‐induced ...

Crystal Structures and Magnetic Properties of Coordination Polymer Complexes of Metal Ions With Kojic Acid Ligands

Zeitschrift für anorganische und allgemeine Chemie, EarlyView.
One‐dimensional coordination polymers of Cu(II) and Co(II) with kojic acid show distinct chain connectivities revealed by X ray crystallography and exhibit extremely weak magnetic interactions, as supported by magnetic measurements and molecular orbital calculations. The crystal structures and magnetic properties of coordination complexes [Cu(C6H5O4)2]
