Article Abstract
is a pathogenic bacterium widely distributed in marine environments, posing significant threats to aquatic organisms and human health. The overuse and misuse of antibiotics has led to the development of multidrug- and pan-resistant strains. There is an urgent need for novel antibacterial therapies with innovative mechanisms of action. In this work, a genome-scale metabolic network model (GMSN) of , named VPA2061, was reconstructed to predict the metabolites that can be explored as potential drug targets for eliminating infections. The model comprises 2061 reactions and 1812 metabolites. Through essential metabolite analysis and pathogen-host association screening with VPA2061, 10 essential metabolites critical for the survival of were identified, which may serve as key candidates for developing new antimicrobial strategies. Additionally, 39 structural analogs were found for these essential metabolites. The molecular docking analysis of the essential metabolites and structural analogs further investigated the potential value of these metabolites for drug design. The GSMN reconstructed in this work provides a new tool for understanding the pathogenic mechanisms of . Furthermore, the analysis results regarding the essential metabolites hold profound implications for the development of novel antibacterial therapies for -related disease.

Strategies have been employed to address antimalarial drug resistance, including the exploration of new therapeutic targets. In this study, the stem bark of Dalbergia miscolobium was investigated using in vitro assays against Plasmodium falciparum and pyruvate kinase II (PyrKII), an essential enzyme for parasite development. Compounds were dereplicated from ethanolic extract (IC = 9 µg/mL) using LC-HRMS, revealing active constituents: procyanidin A1 (2), biochanin (5) and formononetin (7).

Unlabelled: Microhabitat heterogeneity results in significant variations in the thermal environment on a small spatial scale, leading to different intensities of cold stress during extreme low-temperature events. Investigating variations in body temperature and metabolomic responses of organisms inhabiting different microhabitats emerges as an important task for understanding how organisms respond to more frequent extreme low-temperature events in the face of climate change. In the present study, we measured substrate temperature, air temperature, wind speed, light intensity, and body temperature to evaluate the relative importance of drivers that affect body temperature in different microhabitats, and determined the metabolomic responses of intertidal snails and limpets from different microhabitats (snail: exposed vs.

Background: Prostatic diseases, consisting of prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and prostate cancer (PCa), pose significant health challenges. While single-omics studies have provided valuable insights into the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in prostatic diseases, integrating multi-omics approaches is essential for uncovering disease mechanisms and identifying therapeutic targets.
Methods: A genome-wide meta-analysis was conducted for prostatic diseases using the genome-wide association studies (GWAS) data from FinnGen and UK Biobank.

Introduction: Shikimic acid, as a critical precursor for oseltamivir synthesis in antiviral pharmaceuticals, faces escalating global demand. Although leaves have emerged as a promising natural source of shikimic acid owing to their exceptional content of this valuable compound and substantial biomass production capacity, the molecular mechanisms underlying its biosynthesis and downstream metabolic regulation in leaves remain largely unknown.
Methods: Here, the concentration of shikimic acid in 33 clones were assessed, and 1# (referred as HS) had the highest level.

Immune cell metabolism is essential for regulating immune responses, including activation, differentiation, and function. Through glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), metabolism supplies energy and key intermediates for cell growth and proliferation. Importantly, some metabolites generated during these processes act as signaling molecules that influence immune activity.
