Therapeutic Efficacy and Drug Metabolism of Griseorhodin A Induced by a Co-culture of Actinomycete Strain TMPU-20A002 and Mycobacterium smegmatis in Silkworm Infection Models.

Chem Pharm Bull (Tokyo)

September 2025

Division of Natural Product Chemistry, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Tohoku Medical and Pharmaceutical University, 4-4-1 Komatsushima, Aoba-ku, Sendai 981-8558, Japan.

In screening for antibacterial agents from co-cultures of Mycobacterium smegmatis and microbial resources, such as actinomycetes and fungi, the known hydroxyquinone antibiotic griseorhodin A (1) was isolated from a co-culture of actinomycete strain TMPU-20A002 and M. smegmatis. Compound 1 exhibited antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis (VRE), with minimum inhibitory concentrations of 0.

Background: Previous trials have demonstrated increased 5-year risks for adverse clinical events after coronary artery implantation of poly-l-lactic acid-based bioresorbable scaffolds (BRS) compared with cobalt chromium (CoCr) everolimus-eluting stents (EES).

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the 5-year clinical outcomes of the novel sirolimus-eluting NeoVas BRS compared with CoCr EES.

Methods: A total of 560 patients with single de novo native coronary artery lesions with reference vessel diameter 2.

Purpose: Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) is a major contributor to preterm birth and is associated with increased risks of maternal and neonatal complications. The aim of this review is to summarize current antibiotic strategies and explore emerging adjunctive therapies, including probiotics, amnioinfusion, and fetal membrane repair, to improve the management of PPROM.

Methods: Relevant literature on antibiotic therapy for PPROM and emerging treatment strategies was systematically retrieved from PubMed.

Background: In recent years, it has been argued that eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) seen in the early period of oral immunotherapy (OIT) may also exist before OIT.

Objective: We sought to evaluate the presence of EoE before initiating OIT and identify risk factors (during fetal development, infancy, and environmental exposures) for its development.

Methods: 48 patients who underwent endoscopic evaluation before OIT were enrolled.

This study aimed to evaluate outcomes and resource utilization in neonates ≥35 weeks' gestation admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for persistent hypothermia, and to assess the incidence of early-onset sepsis (EOS) as well as the potential benefit of using the Kaiser Permanente EOS calculator for risk stratification.This retrospective study included 161 neonates born ≥35 weeks' gestation admitted to the NICU with persistent hypothermia (core temperature <36.5°C on three separate measurements) at a tertiary care hospital between April 2017 and June 2024.
