Article Abstract

Objective: Polysaccharides inhibiting cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) on tobacco were screened and their influence on tobacco defensive enzyme activities was explored.

Method: We detected the deactivating, preventing and treating effect of 21 polysaccharides on CMV by half leaf method on Nitcotiana tabacum var. Samsun NN. We detected the variation of enzyme activity of Nitcotianatabacum var. NC89 handled by antiviral polysaccharide.

Result: Results show that Marasmiu sandrosaceus polysaccharide had good deactivating and preventing effect on CMV. The preventing rate could reach 83.41% when the tobacco was dealt with the admixture of its 200-fold dilution and equivalent virus liquid for 30 min. The inhibition rate could reach 93.15% when the tobacco was inoculated after spraying with M. androsaceus polysaccharide for 24h. Moreover, the diversification of enzyme activity of tobacco-related was detected. Results show that peroxidase (POD) , polyphenol oxidase (PPO) andphenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) activities significantly enhanced. M. androsaceus polysaccharide sprayed on tobacco after inoculating CMV for 24h. Its enzyme activities increased. The peaksof POD, PPO and PAL activities ofthe treatment were 2.74, 3.45 and 2.82 times of the value of comparison, respectively.

Conclusion: M. androsaceus polysaccharide can increase the resistance of tobacco on CMV by enhancing defense enzyme activity of tobacco.

Leishmaniasis, a disease caused by Leishmania parasites, poses a significant health threat globally, particularly in Latin America and Brazil. Leishmania amazonensis is an important species because it is associated with both cutaneous leishmaniasis and an atypical visceral form. Current treatments are hindered by toxicity, resistance, and high cost, driving the need for new therapeutic targets and drugs.

The reverse β-oxidation (rBOX) pathway is emerging as a promising alternative to fossil fuel-based chemical production, providing a versatile platform for the synthesis of various valueadded biochemicals. Efficient application of rBOX depends on the selection of enzymes with high catalytic activity, suitable substrate specificity, and strong functional compatibility within the pathway. In this review, we focus on the structural and biochemical characteristics of four key enzymes-thiolase, 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase, enoyl-CoA hydratase, and enoyl-CoA reductase-and explore how their individual features and combinations influence pathway performance.

Thiophene derivatives have gained considerable interest lately due to their potential as anti-inflammatory agents. Their structural flexibility and capacity to interact with key enzymes involved in inflammatory processes position them as promising candidates for drug development. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the latest research, focusing on the synthesis and therapeutic evaluation of thiophene-based compounds that act as inhibitors of cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) enzymes.
