Feature-based molecular networking analysis suggested the presence of naphthol tetramers in 047219, the same species but a different strain from one used previously for the discovery of naphthol trimers promoting adiponectin synthesis. The new tetramers were composed of 5-methoxy-4-naphthol, each of which was connected to one another in various positions. Targeted isolation afforded six previously unreported naphthol tetramers (-) together with 13 known polyketides (-) including naphthol monomers, dimers, and trimers. Structures of the isolated compounds were established by using NMR and mass spectroscopic analysis. Nodulisporin A (), nodulisporin B (), and 1,1',3',3″-ternaphthalene-5,5',5″-trimethoxy-4,4',4″-triol () demonstrated anti-inflammatory activities against NO production, but the new compounds were less active.

Redox-active molecules play critical roles in various biological functions, including cellular respiration. In bacterial electron transport chains, menaquinones serve as key electron carriers. The first committed enzyme in the menaquinone biosynthesis pathway of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), MenD, is allosterically inhibited by 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoic acid (DHNA), the first redox-active metabolite in the pathway.

Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is one of the most widely used carbon nanomaterials. When it is released into the environment, rGO can markedly affect the transformation of many pollutants, and change their fate and risk. In this work, the synergetic effects of rGO and Cu(II) on the oxidation of 2-naphthol were examined in water in the dark.

Members of the IclR family control bacterial genes involved in a number of physiological processes. The IclR-family member TtgV crystallizes as a tetramer, with each TtgV monomer consisting of two domains--a DNA binding domain and an effector recognition domain, which are interconnected by an extended α-helix. When bound to DNA, a kink is introduced so that the extended helix is split in two α-helices (helix-4 and -5).

The oxidative polymerization of 1-naphthol was investigated in the presence of horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Naphthol polymerization products (NPP) were characterized for their relative polarity using octanol--water partitioning experiments and reverse-phase high pressure liquid chromatography, for structure using size exclusion chromatography and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS), and for ecotoxicity using inhibition of bacterial bioluminescence. Peroxidase addition resulted in the production of soluble and insoluble NPP.
