Acremonamide () was isolated from a marine-derived fungus belonging to the genus . The chemical structure of was established using MS, UV, and NMR spectroscopic data analyses. Acremonamide () was found to contain -Me-Phe, -Me-Ala, Val, Phe, and 2-hydroxyisovaleric acid. The absolute configurations of the four aforementioned amino acids were determined through acid hydrolysis followed by the advanced Marfey's method, whereas the absolute configuration of 2-hydroxyisovaleric acid was determined through GC-MS analysis after formation of the -pentafluoropropionylated derivative of the (-)-menthyl ester of 2-hydroxyisovaleric acid. As an intrinsic biological activity, acremonamide () did not exert cytotoxicity to cancer and noncancer cells and increased the migration and invasion. Based on these activities, the wound healing properties of acremonamide () were confirmed and .

Purpose: This study aimed to explore metabolite pathways and identify residual metabolites during the post-neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis caused by citrin deficiency (post-NICCD) phase, while developing a predictive model for failure to thrive (FTT) using selected metabolites.
Method: A case-control study was conducted from October 2020 to July 2024, including 16 NICCD patients, 31 NICCD-matched controls, 34 post-NICCD patients, and 70 post-NICCD-matched controls. Post-NICCD patients were further stratified into two groups based on growth outcomes.

Metabolites and metabolism-related gene expression profiles in skeletal muscle change dramatically under obesity, aging and metabolic disease. Since obese and lean pigs are ideal models for metabolic research. Here, we compared metabolome and transcriptome of Longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle between Taoyuan black (TB, obese) and Duroc (lean) pigs at different ages.

Mammalian cell culture processes are widely utilized for biotherapeutics production, disease diagnostics, and biosensors, and hence, should be optimized to support robust cell growth and viability. However, toxic by-products accumulate in cultures due to inefficiencies in metabolic activities and nutrient utilization. In this study, we applied comprehensive C stable-isotope tracing of amino acids and glucose to two Immunoglobulin G (IgG) producing Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell lines to identify secreted by-products and trace their origins.

Introduction: Variants in the gene have been previously associated with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy. deficiency was characterized as a neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorder with early-onset seizures and global developmental delay. Herein, we reported the first case with severe heart failure due to lethal mitochondrial cardiomyopathy with compound heterozygous variants.

Branched-chain hydroxy acids (BCHAs), produced by lactic acid bacteria, have recently been suggested as bioactive compounds contributing to the systemic metabolism and modulation of the gut microbiome. However, the relationship between BCHAs and gut microbiome remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the effects of BCHAs on the growth of seven different families in the gut microbiota.
