Metabolic interplay of SCFA's in the gut and oral microbiome: a link to health and disease.

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), primarily acetate (C2), propionate (C3), and butyrate (C4), are crucial microbial metabolites formed by the fermentation of dietary fibers by gut microbiota in the colon. These SCFAs, characterized by fewer than six carbon atoms, serve as an essential energy source for colonic epithelial cells and contribute approximately 10% of the body's total energy requirement. They are central to maintaining gut health through multiple mechanisms, including reinforcing intestinal barrier function, exerting anti-inflammatory effects, regulating glucose and lipid metabolism, and influencing host immune responses.

Sleep deprivation (SD) is a major contributor to cognitive impairment, often accompanied by central neuroinflammation and gut microbiota dysbiosis. The tryptophan (TRP) pathway, activated via indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), serves as a critical link between immune activation and neuronal damage. Umbelliferone (UMB), a naturally occurring coumarin compound, possesses anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and microbiota-modulating properties.

Hypoxia Aggravates Myocardial Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury Through the Promotion of Ferroptosis via ACSL4 Lactylation.

J Cardiovasc Transl Res

September 2025

Department of Cardiology, Bei'an Hospital, Beidahuang Group, Heihe, 164000, Heilongjiang Province, China.

Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MIRI) worsens ischemic damage, with ferroptosis as a key mediator of this iron-dependent cell death. Lactylation, a novel epigenetic modification, remains poorly understood in MIRI-associated ferroptosis. This study aimed to elucidate the mechanistic link between lactylation and ferroptosis in MIRI.

The crystal structure of entinostat Form B, CHNO, has been solved and refined using laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data, and optimized using density functional techniques. Entinostat crystallizes in space group 2 and the crystal structure consists of inter-locking layers of entinostat mol-ecules parallel to the plane. A strong N-H⋯N hydrogen bond links the mol-ecules into zigzag chains propagating along the -axis direction.

Two new benzene-sulfonyl derivatives, -(2-iodo-phen-yl)benzene-sulfonamide, CHINO, (), and -(4,5-di-fluoro-2-iodo-phen-yl)benzene-sulfonamide, CHFINOS, () were synthesized and structurally characterized. In both mol-ecular structures, the conformation of the N-C bond in the -SO-NH-C segment is relative to the S=O bond. For (), the crystal packing is dominated by N-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions that link the mol-ecules into chains extending parallel to [010].
