The feeding association is important as carbohydrate metabolized by the bacteria is the source of organic acids in the intestinal lumen, and the gases of pneumatosis intestinalis and portal venous tree. Several studies have shown there is a change in the intestinal flora in children who develop necrotizing enterocolitis in that the proteobacteria constitute as much as 70% of the organisms in the stool, in cases within three days preceding the clinical diagnosis of NEC [28] . The common intestinal flora found in all babies and in all intensive care nurseries may be the culprits in a subtle way, not by their invasive characteristics nor their ability to produce toxins, but simply by their ability to ferment carbohydrate and produce organic acids more quickly than the capacity of the preterm infants' defense mechanisms, the mucosa, and the portal system and liver can accommodate. cache = ./cache/cord-267516-r99y91oo.txt txt = ./txt/cord-267516-r99y91oo.txt === reduce.pl bib === id = cord-006907-pdvddowh author = Baltina, L.

LLC-MK2 cells (3 × 10 4 cells/well) were cultured in the 96-well plates overnight, quintuplicate treated with Sambucus Formosana Nakai stem ethanol extract or its phenolic acid constituents (caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, coumaric acid, ferulic acid, and gallic acid) for 2 days, and then incubated with 0.5 mg/ml 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) for additional 4 h. For minimizing the antiviral effect of indicated agents in the cells, 100 μl (near 200 pfu HCoV-NL63) of the 10000-fold dilution from the mixtures of virus and the extract or phenolic acids was added to the MK2 cell monolayer in the 6-well plate to determining the residual viral infectivity using the plaque assay described above.

However, as discussed below, studies in other bacteria strongly suggest that host sialic acid catabolism has at least a minor role in pathogenesis in different species, and possibly a major role in colonization. coli, potential axe orthologs abound in GIT bacterial species (Tables 1 and 2) , suggesting that an ability to metabolize O-acetylated sialic acids is a common phenotype of bacteria living on or at a mucosal surface [89] . is �nding is consistent with a potentially important role of NanS in supporting the commensal lifestyle involving utilization of host-derived sialic acids other than Neu5Ac.

Here we analyze the importance of the sialic acid binding activity for the infection of tracheal organ cultures (TOCs) by different IBV strains. Desialylation induced by neuraminidase treatment of tracheal organ cultures prior to infection by IBV delayed the ciliostatic effect or resulted in partial loss of ciliary activity. After having shown recently that sialic acid serves as a receptor determinant for IBV on cultured cells, we were interested to find out whether this type of sugar is also important for an infection in vivo. From this result we conclude that a2,3-linked sialic acid serves as a receptor determinant for the infection of avian tracheal epithelial cells by the Beaudette strain of IBV.

All animal viruses with tubular nucleocapsids are enveloped, and in these the lipid layer from which glycoprotein peplomers project is probably applied to a protein shell (the membrane protein; see Fig. 1 -1), which may be relatively rigid, as in Rhabdovirus, or readily distorted (as in the myxoviruses) so that in negatively stained electron micrographs the virions appear to be pleomorphic. The RNA viruses that have the largest (single-stranded) genomes, those of the Leukovirus genus, also have a highly complex structure with an envelope enclosing an icosahedral capsid that, in turn, surrounds a tubular nucleocapsid. The conventional physicochemical criteria [(a) nucleic acid: type, strandedness, fragmentation, and molecular weight; (b) virion: shape, size, and symmetry] are suitable for classification at this level of family/genus, perhaps assisted by the serological cross-reactivity of "group" antigens where these have been recognized. cache = ./cache/cord-022196-1tionxun.txt txt = ./txt/cord-022196-1tionxun.txt === reduce.pl bib === id = cord-006452-mmdk2xom author = Chen, Jing title = Nucleic Acid-Based Therapeutics for Pulmonary Diseases date = 2018-10-18 pages = extension = .txt mime = text/plain words = 6605 sentences = 361 flesch = 38 summary = Nucleic acid-based therapeutics present huge potential in the treatment of pulmonary diseases ranging from lung cancer to asthma and chronic pulmonary diseases, which are often fatal and widely prevalent.

One direction for developing new drugs to treat asthma is to target central pathways to the pathogenesis of the disease, and nucleic acid-mediated therapies silencing the specific effector or the upstream regulator can be a potential approach. Nucleic acid drugs hold great promises as new classes of therapeutic agents for pulmonary diseases, and some candidates have entered into clinical trials (Table III) . cache = ./cache/cord-006452-mmdk2xom.txt txt = ./txt/cord-006452-mmdk2xom.txt === reduce.pl bib === id = cord-268088-y4vg7frb author = Montané, Xavier title = Current Perspectives of the Applications of Polyphenols and Flavonoids in Cancer Therapy date = 2020-07-23 pages = extension = .txt mime = text/plain words = 11101 sentences = 581 flesch = 42 summary = Among the natural compounds that produce beneficial effects on human health, polyphenols have shown potential therapeutic applications in cancer due to their protective functions in plants, their use as food additives, and their excellent antioxidant properties. This review shows a wide range of trials in which polyphenolic compounds play a crucial role as anticancer medicines alone or in combination with other drugs at different stages of cancer: cancer initiation, promotion, and growth or progression.

Antibiotics can be produced by fermentation, an old technique that was utilized for beer and wine production almost 8000 years ago, during the ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia era. Natural products (NPs) with high commercial value can be produced by microbial primary or secondary metabolism. Other products include anti-tumor drugs, hypocholesterolemic agents, enzyme inhibitors, gastrointestinal motor stimulators, ruminant growth stimulants, insecticides, herbicides, antiparasitics versus coccidia and helminths, and other pharmacological activities. In view of the low concentration of camptothecin in tree roots and poor yield from chemical synthesis, the fungal fermentation is very promising for industrial production of camptothecin. niger was an excellent producer of citric acid and, as a result, the Pfizer company in New York began large-scale fermentation production in 1923. cache = ./cache/cord-017813-qhsymg0r.txt txt = ./txt/cord-017813-qhsymg0r.txt === reduce.pl bib === id = cord-026012-r0w0jbpg author = TENNANT, BUD C. title = Gastrointestinal Function date = 2014-06-27 pages = extension = .txt mime = text/plain words = 19858 sentences = 1049 flesch = 50 summary = In the dog, gastric juice is produced in the resting state at a rate of approximately 5 ml/hour (Gray and Bûcher, 1941) , and the composition is similar to that of the basal component, containing practi cally no peptic activity or hydrochloric acid.

As glycosidase substrates, GSLs with four carbohydrate residues or less require the additional presence of small lipid binding glycoproteins, either the GM2 activator protein or one of the four saposins A-D. In vitro, in addition to enzymes and activator proteins, also an appropriate membrane-lipid composition of the ganglioside-containing membrane is required for degradation [222] . Due to the deficiency of two enzyme activities, β-hexosaminidases A and B, storage of negatively charged glycolipids characteristic for Tay-Sachs disease and, in addition, of uncharged substrates such as GA2 in the brain and globoside in visceral organs (Figure 16 ) is observed. cache = ./cache/cord-309384-vlk8cebh.txt txt = ./txt/cord-309384-vlk8cebh.txt === reduce.pl bib === id = cord-351322-mdes28jg author = Bauvois, Brigitte title = Aminopeptidase‐N/CD13 (EC 3.4.11.2) inhibitors: Chemistry, biological evaluations, and therapeutic prospects date = 2005-10-07 pages = extension = .txt mime = text/plain words = 10028 sentences = 678 flesch = 40 summary = 235, 236 In addition to its very recently reported ability to inhibit APN in a non-competitive manner thus inducing a suppression of in vitro angiogenesis, 237 30 has been shown to induce a variety of biological effects: (i) a significant in vitro antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus 226 and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus 235, 236, 238 which is assumed to be due to its ability to inhibit DNA gyrase, 238 (ii) a cytotoxicity against various human tumor cell lines, 229, [231] [232] [233] (iii) an increase in Ca 2þ release from the heavy fraction of skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum, 228 (iv) an inhibition of topoisomerase II, 239 Leucine aminopeptidase and farnesyl protein transferase, 229 , mycothiol-S-conjugate amidase, 240 chitinase, 231 histone deacetylase and DNA methyltransferase, 232 and DNA replication by targeting polymerase a-primase. cache = ./cache/cord-351322-mdes28jg.txt txt = ./txt/cord-351322-mdes28jg.txt === reduce.pl bib === id = cord-002473-2kpxhzbe author = Das, Jayanta Kumar title = Chemical property based sequence characterization of PpcA and its homolog proteins PpcB-E: A mathematical approach date = 2017-03-31 pages = extension = .txt mime = text/plain words = 4613 sentences = 285 flesch = 61 summary = Secondly, we build a graph theoretic model on using amino acid sequences which is also applied to the cytochrome c7 family members and some unique characteristics and their domains are highlighted.

Results showed that serviceberry fruits could be a good source of phenolic constituents and deserved special attention focused on studying their phytochemical profile: the main phenolic groups were catechins (343.46 ± 29.46 mg/100 gFW) > anthocyanins (220.66 ± 17.43 mg/100 gFW) > tannins (209.29 ± 7.81 mg/ 100 gFW) > cinnamic acids (113.52 ± 6.26 mg/100 gFW) > flavonols (62.56 ± 2.86 mg/100 gFW) > benzoic acids (12.70 ± 1.80 mg/ 100 gFW).The phenolic compounds detected in the present work were similar to those reported in other studies on different serviceberry genotypes (Bakowska-Barczak & Kolodziejczyk, 2008; Ozga et al., 2007) . Some of these simple phenolics, together with complex polyphenols, monoterpenes and other phytochemicals (organic acids and vitamin C) make serviceberry an alternative fruit that could contribute to the prevention of chronic diseases resulting from oxidative stress. cache = ./cache/cord-355121-qb8nxl56.txt txt = ./txt/cord-355121-qb8nxl56.txt === reduce.pl bib === id = cord-023225-5quigar4 author = nan title = Posters date = 2012-08-21 pages = extension = .txt mime = text/plain words = 70251 sentences = 3367 flesch = 43 summary = To further explore the structure-function relationship, a viable synthesis strategy for pseudodesmin A analogues was developed, based on side-chain attachment of the first amino acid to the solid support, followed by stepwise Fmoc solid-phase synthesis of the linear peptide precursor and on-resin head-to-tail cyclization.

To analyze the role played by free sialic acid in the binding of OVM to HA, further experiments were carried out with different sequences of additions. Based on the above results, it was found that free sialic acid enhances the binding of OVM to influenza virus HA. It is indicating that sialic acid is involved in the binding of OVM to influenza virus, and additional free sialic acid could enhance the OVM antiviral process. The hemagglutinin of the influenza virus recognizes and binds to the ovomucin carbohydrate chain terminal sialic acid, and the interaction is greatly diminished after the sialic acid is removed. The addition of free sialic acid can promote the binding of ovomucin to hemagglutinin and enhance ovomucin anti-influenza virus activity. cache = ./cache/cord-262036-wig4wdno.txt txt = ./txt/cord-262036-wig4wdno.txt === reduce.pl bib === id = cord-260345-ugd8kkor author = Giles, Ian G. title = A compendium of reviews in biochemistry and molecular biology published in the first half of 1992 date = 1992-12-31 pages = extension = .txt mime = text/plain words = 5327 sentences = 701 flesch = 45 summary = 203, sodium dodecyl-sulfate.; ted blood-cells; phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase activity; nucleotide-linked dehydrogenases; alkaline-phosphatase isoenzymes; pathogenesis-related proteins; cr-L-fucosidase; polyactylamide-gel; produce phosphate; general-method. low-density~l&protein; high-performance liquid; chrcmatogmphy mass spectmmetry; chicken vitellogam gene; thin-layer chmmatography; apolipoprotein-VLDL-II; fatty-acid composition; laying turkey hens; egg-yolk; plasma-lipoproteins. human-skin fibroblests; IGF binding-protein; messenger ribonucleic-acid; cooh-teminal truncation; monoclonal-antibody; endothelial-cells; factor receptoc amniotic-fluid; DNA-synthesis; rat-heart. factor-binding-protein; erythroid colony formation; cultured human-tibroblasts; factor messenger-RNA, N-terminal sequence; fetal bovine serum; IGF-I; somatomedin C, clinical-applicstians; stimulating factors. shon-hved protein; dependent pmteolytic system; ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme; repair gene ra&, Escherichia coli; transfer RNA; Sacclurroqces cercvisiue; endoplasmic-reticulum; cell-cycle; amino-acid. polymense chain-reaction; fragment length polymorphisms; dependent diabetes-mellitus; sickle-cell anemia; factor-M gene; enzymatic AMPlificatiat; genomic DNA; mutations; sequence; diagnosis; predisposition; genetics.

Classification into presumably protective or non-protective epitopes is conducted using three independently determined parameters: predicted B-cell antigenicity, sequence variability and conservation of post-translational modification motifs. These results are relativated later in this work when using only potentially relevant domains of a protein antigen, indicating systematic problems of the way B-cell epitope prediction validation is usually conducted. Briefly, proteins were completely scored for antigenicity/protectivity but amino-acid scores in regions outside domains assumed to be surface exposed were set to 0 thus leading to a generic classification as non-protective. On this compilation protectivity prediction using PCA19 in combination with variability and modification likelihood performed significantly better after domain-accessibility filtering as measured by AROC values, while without filtering performance was comparable (although again slightly better) to antigenicity validation results on the Blythe et.al validation-set. cache = ./cache/cord-296794-ml2luc1t.txt txt = ./txt/cord-296794-ml2luc1t.txt === reduce.pl bib === id = cord-006636-xgikbdns author = Ühlein, E. title = Übersicht Über neue ernährungswissenschaftliche Publikationen date = 1964-02-01 pages = extension = .txt mime = text/plain words = 31038 sentences = 4914 flesch = 58 summary = L. : Effect of a low dietary level of three types of fat on reproductive performance and tissue lipid content of the vitamin B6-deficicnt female rat.

The focus of this article is recent progress in the field of peptide-mediated cellular delivery of siRNA and steric block oligonucleotides in cell tissue culture as a starting point for further developments illustrated by own experimental data. In contrast to many noncovalent CPP-mediated siRNA delivery approaches, efficient splice correction was only achieved with conjugates of peptide and steric block oligonucleotide. As outlined above, our quantitative studies along with microscopic analyses of siRNAs and steric block oligonucleotides using either a peptide or a commercially availably cationic lipid as carrier clearly show that less than 0.1% -5% of molecules taken up are involved in a biological response, i.e. RNAimediated down regulation or splice correction-mediated up regulation of reporter gene activity. cache = ./cache/cord-000128-t74b5j2j.txt txt = ./txt/cord-000128-t74b5j2j.txt === reduce.pl bib === id = cord-325743-5ujiscdt author = Kitajima, Ken title = Advanced Technologies in Sialic Acid and Sialoglycoconjugate Analysis date = 2015-05-28 pages = extension = .txt mime = text/plain words = 7597 sentences = 409 flesch = 45 summary = Here we describe analytical methods for detection of Sia that have recently been developed or improved, with a special focus on 9-O-acetylated N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5,9Ac), N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc), deaminoneuraminic acid (Kdn), O-sulfated Sia (SiaS), and di-, oligo-, and polysialic acid (diSia/oligoSia/polySia) in glycoproteins and glycolipids.

Using as a template a peptide, already identifi ed, with agonist activity against PTPRJ(H-[Cys-His-His-Asn-Leu-Thr-His-Ala-Cys]-OH), here we report a structure-activity study carried out through endocyclic modifi cations (Ala-scan, D-substitutions, single residue deletions, substitutions of the disulfi de bridge) and the preliminary biological results of this set of compounds. cache = ./cache/cord-023209-un2ysc2v.txt txt = ./txt/cord-023209-un2ysc2v.txt === reduce.pl bib === id = cord-353815-w35spqqt author = Huan, Yuchen title = Antimicrobial Peptides: Classification, Design, Application and Research Progress in Multiple Fields date = 2020-10-16 pages = extension = .txt mime = text/plain words = 12266 sentences = 623 flesch = 38 summary = This review introduces the progress of research on AMPs comprehensively and systematically, including their classification, mechanism of action, design methods, environmental factors affecting their activity, application status, prospects in various fields and problems to be solved. Tryptophan (Trp), as a non-polar amino acid, has a remarkable effect on the interface region of the lipid bilayer, whereas Arg, as a basic amino acid, confers peptide charge and hydrogen bond interactions, which are essential properties to combine with the bacterial membrane's abundant anionic component. And it seems that Trp residues play the role of natural aromatic activators of Arg-rich AMPs by ion-pair-π interactions (Walrant et al., 2020) , thereby promoting enhanced peptide-membrane interactions (Chan et al., 2006) . Furthermore, L4H4, which is designed based on the linear cationic amphiphilic peptide magainin, also shows good antibacterial activity and cell penetration properties by inserting four histidine sequences in leucine and alanine (Lointier et al., 2020) . cache = ./cache/cord-353815-w35spqqt.txt txt = ./txt/cord-353815-w35spqqt.txt === reduce.pl bib === id = cord-023208-w99gc5nx author = nan title = Poster Presentation Abstracts date = 2006-09-01 pages = extension = .txt mime = text/plain words = 70854 sentences = 3492 flesch = 43 summary = In order to develop a synthetic protocol by an automated instrumentation, increasing yield, purity of the crude, and reaction time, a microwave-assisted solid phase peptide synthesis was validated comparing the use of the new generation of Triazine-Based Coupling Reagents (TBCRs) with a series of commonly used ones. Ubiquitinium is a well known mechanism in protein degredation of Eukaryotic cells ,in which many obsolte and corrupted three dimentional structure protein ,become marked by covalent attachment of ubuquitin through a multi-step enzymatic pathway.Ubiquitin is a small ,8.5 kDa peptide of 76 amino acid residues that targets such substrtes for proteolysis in proteasome .Recnt studies showed that an extra cellular ubiquitination process also taking place in the epididymes of humans and other animals marks protein on the surface of the defective sperm .it appears that structurally and functionally defective sperm become surface ubiquitinated by epididymal epithelial cells. This head-to-tailcyclized 14-amino-acid peptide contains one disulfide bridge and a lysine residue (Lys5) present in the P1 position, which is responsible for inhibitor specificity.As was reported by us and other groups, SFTI-1 analogues with one cycle only retain trypsin inhibitory activity. cache = ./cache/cord-023208-w99gc5nx.txt txt = ./txt/cord-023208-w99gc5nx.txt === reduce.pl bib === id = cord-262868-wanbz1et author = Varki, Ajit title = Loss of N‐glycolylneuraminic acid in humans: Mechanisms, consequences, and implications for hominid evolution date = 2002-01-04 pages = extension = .txt mime = text/plain words = 10931 sentences = 514 flesch = 47 summary = This review discusses one of the few known apehuman genetic differences with a clear-cut biochemical consequence, the selective inactivation of the CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid (CMP-Neu5Ac) hydroxylase gene in the human lineage Irie et al., 1998; Chou et al., 1998) . A microbial organism approaching a mammalian cell surface would likely first encounter members of a family of sugars called sialic acids, which tend to be the outermost units on the glycan chains attached to the proteins and lipids below (Fig. 1) . However, based on current knowledge of the functions of sialic acids (see above), one can propose some possible scenarios to explain the human loss of Neu5Gc. The most likely one is selection of a randomly occurring CMAH gene mutation by a lethal microbial pathogen that required cell-surface Neu5Gc for effective infection (see below for some examples of such current-day pathogens). cache = ./cache/cord-262868-wanbz1et.txt txt = ./txt/cord-262868-wanbz1et.txt === reduce.pl bib === id = cord-329844-w969lczb author = Robson, B. title = Bioinformatics studies on a function of the SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein as the binding of host sialic acid glycans date = 2020-06-08 pages = extension = .txt mime = text/plain words = 15903 sentences = 664 flesch = 49 summary = The location of any sialic acid glycan binding region of SARS-CoV-2 is, a priori unclear, although intuitively (a) it would likely be associated with the cap or knob at the outer end of the spike protein, or (b) at least not involve exactly the same domain as is required for other important functions. An algorithm for predicting the domains and proteins involved in sialic acid glycan binding is developed in the course of the project described in Results Section 4, but this is primarily of a highly empirical nature. This, plus a sequence rather than three dimensional structure perspective, and a specific focus on binding sialic acid glycans rather than sugars in general, resulted in a substantial difference in scores from another major method of predicting sugar binding regions of proteins also discussed later below. cache = ./cache/cord-329844-w969lczb.txt txt = ./txt/cord-329844-w969lczb.txt === reduce.pl bib === id = cord-351609-lqul2ho8 author = Kaczmarek, Beata title = Tannic Acid with Antiviral and Antibacterial Activity as A Promising Component of Biomaterials—A Minireview date = 2020-07-20 pages = extension = .txt mime = text/plain words = 5942 sentences = 379 flesch = 44 summary = Tannic acid has been reported to present the activity against Influeneza A virus, Papilloma viruses, noroviruses, Herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) as well as activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus pyogenes, Enterococcus faecalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Yersinia enterocolitica, Listeria innocua.

The results of this study indicate that influenza virus infection dysregulates glucose and fatty acid metabolism and decreases tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle activity, leading to enhanced degradation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and guanosine triphosphate (GTP). Metabolites that were present at reduced levels in the sera of PR8 virus-infected mice were mainly related to the TCA cycle, urea cycle, and amino acid metabolism, as indicated by the serum levels of metabolite in these pathways at 1, 3, and 6 dpi (Fig. 2) . cache = ./cache/cord-345359-okmkgsbr.txt txt = ./txt/cord-345359-okmkgsbr.txt === reduce.pl bib === id = cord-343418-519vkzci author = Li, Hao title = Study on the Performance Degradation of Sandstone under Acidification date = 2020-10-21 pages = extension = .txt mime = text/plain words = 3993 sentences = 210 flesch = 52 summary = X-ray diffraction qualitative analysis of the composition and concentration of ions shows that the formation of white precipitates is citric acid and Mg promotes the conversion of amorphous calcium carbonate to high-crystallinity calcite, forming a white precipitate.

Similar to other amino acid and peptide mimetics used as protease inhibitors, this is the effect of the incorporation of a covalent or non-covalent binding group (here involved in coordination of a catalytic metal ion(s) in the enzyme active site) into a substrate structure. Additionally, the P1 side chain of the aminophosphonic acid analogues (or more effectively, both P1 and P1 0 residues of the pseudopeptides phosphoryl moiety) gives further possibility of structural optimization of substituents interacting with the S1 and S1 0 binding pockets of the enzyme (Fig. 3) Fig. 4 ), appeared to be efficient inhibitors of LAP with a K i ¼ 0.15 [90] and 0.23 mM [87] for the R (L) enantiomers. cache = ./cache/cord-264316-do0px1gq.txt txt = ./txt/cord-264316-do0px1gq.txt === reduce.pl bib === id = cord-332165-31tbc31x author = Rustmeier, Nils H. title = The Symmetry of Viral Sialic Acid Binding Sites—Implications for Antiviral Strategies date = 2019-10-14 pages = extension = .txt mime = text/plain words = 5820 sentences = 316 flesch = 43 summary = In this review, we will evaluate the structures of non-enveloped virus capsid proteins bound to sialylated glycan receptors and discuss the potential of these structures for the development of potent antiviral attachment inhibitors. This concept of targeting multiple, symmetric receptor binding sites by multivalent inhibitors is also applicable for many viruses, since viral capsids are often icosahedral and, therefore, highly symmetric structures. Many members of the polyomavirus family bind sialic acid-based glycans using their VP1 proteins, so the binding sites on individual pentamers are always linked by local five-fold symmetry (Figure 4a , TSPyV). The glycooligopeptide-VP1 complex structures displayed a similar ligand binding mode that was reported for sialic acid in an earlier study [50] and showed, for the compounds, that the linker between the ligand and the scaffold occupies the space that is usually targeted by the natural glycan receptor moieties (Figure 5a,b, right) . cache = ./cache/cord-332165-31tbc31x.txt txt =

a valuable therapeutic choice for the treatment of recent diseases attacking the public health including cancer, multidrug-resistant bacterial infections, diabetes mellitus, and chronic inflammatory systemic disease. They include the ligand-based virtual screening that is based on the searching for the compounds having the highest probability in pharmacological activity [10] and molecular docking that relies on the energy-based scoring function to identify ligand-target complex lowest energy [11] . Neostigmine (turquoise) as a control According to the results of pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, safety, and drug-likeness predictions collectively, Ellagic acid, Kaempferol, and Quercetin were the best A. nilotica''s phytochemical constituents that contribute to the therapeutic activities; consequently, we recommend the use of Ellagic acid, Kaempferol, and Quercetin as a combined drug via the novel drug delivery systems for the treatment of recent diseases attacking the public health including cancer, multidrug-resistant bacterial infections, diabetes mellitus, and chronic inflammatory systemic diseases. abstract: The pharmacological activity of Acacia nilotica’s phytochemical constituents was confirmed with evidence-based studies, but the determination of exact targets that they bind and the mechanism of action were not done; consequently, we aim to identify the exact targets that are responsible for the pharmacological activity via the computational methods. Furthermore, we aim to predict the pharmacokinetics (ADME) properties and the safety profile in order to identify the best drug candidates. To achieve those goals, various computational methods were used including the ligand-based virtual screening and molecular docking. Moreover, pkCSM and SwissADME web servers were used for the prediction of pharmacokinetics and safety. The total number of the investigated compounds and targets was 25 and 61, respectively. According to the results, the pharmacological activity was attributed to the interaction with essential targets. Ellagic acid, Kaempferol, and Quercetin were the best A. nilotica’s phytochemical constituents that contribute to the therapeutic activities, were non-toxic as well as non-carcinogen. The administration of Ellagic acid, Kaempferol, and Quercetin as combined drug via the novel drug delivery systems will be a valuable therapeutic choice for the treatment of recent diseases attacking the public health including cancer, multidrug-resistant bacterial infections, diabetes mellitus, and chronic inflammatory systemic disease. url: https://doi.org/10.1007/s40495-019-00181-w doi: 10.1007/s40495-019-00181-w id: cord-348529-e12bs3e4 author: Arming, Sigrid title: The human Cas1 protein: A sialic acid-specific O-acetyltransferase? date: 2010-10-14 words: 7059 sentences: 420 pages: flesch: 47 cache: ./cache/cord-348529-e12bs3e4.txt txt: ./txt/cord-348529-e12bs3e4.txt summary: Our results indicate a direct involvement of the human Cas1 protein (Cas1p) in the O-acetylation of sialic acids. The human Cas1p shares some sequence similarity with viral sialic acid-specific O-acetylesterases, particularly around the active site residues (Figure 1 ). Interestingly, the cell line KG1a which was found to have a higher state of surface sialylation when comDownregulation of O-acetylation by CasD1-specific small interfering RNA In order to determine whether the CasD1 gene product is directly involved in the O-acetylation of sialic acids, we used small interfering RNA (siRNA) to downregulate the intrinsic CasD1 mRNA. The results indicate that the expression of Cas1p in COS cells directs acetyl groups to carbon 7 of sialic acid. We therefore suggest that the human Cas1p may represent a sialic acid-specific O-acetyltransferase, which transfers acetyl groups to carbon 7. abstract: Sialic acids are important sugars at the reducing end of glycoproteins and glycolipids. They are among many other functions involved in cell–cell interactions, host–pathogen recognition and the regulation of serum half-life of glycoproteins. An important modification of sialic acids is O-acetylation, which can alter or mask the biological properties of the parent sialic acid molecule. The nature of mammalian sialate-O-acetyltransferases (EC 2.3.1.45) involved in their biosynthesis is still unknown. We have identified the human CasD1 (capsule structure1 domain containing 1) gene as a candidate to encode the elusive enzyme. The human CasD1 gene encodes a protein with a serine–glycine–asparagine–histidine hydrolase domain and a hydrophobic transmembrane domain. Expression of the Cas1 protein tagged with enhanced green fluorescent protein in mammalian and insect cells directed the protein to the medial and trans-cisternae of the Golgi. Overexpression of the Cas1 protein in combination with α-N-acetyl-neuraminide α-2,8-sialyltransferase 1 (GD3 synthase) resulted in an up to 40% increased biosynthesis of 7-O-acetylated ganglioside GD3. By quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, we found up to 5-fold increase in CasD1 mRNA in tumor cells overexpressing O-Ac-GD3. CasD1-specific small interfering RNA reduced O-acetylation in tumor cells. These results suggest that the human Cas1 protein is directly involved in O-acetylation of α2-8-linked sialic acids. url: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20947662/ doi: 10.1093/glycob/cwq153 id: cord-006907-pdvddowh author: Baltina, L.

APN/CD13 expression is dysregulated in inflammatory diseases and in cancers (solid and hematologic tumors). APN/CD13 serves as a receptor for coronaviruses. Natural and synthetic inhibitors of APN activity have been characterized. These inhibitors have revealed that APN is able to modulate bioactive peptide responses (pain management, vasopressin release) and to influence immune functions and major biological events (cell proliferation, secretion, invasion, angiogenesis). Therefore, inhibition of APN/CD13 may lead to the development of anti‐cancer and anti‐inflammatory drugs. This review provides an update on the biological and pharmacological profiles of known natural and synthetic APN inhibitors. Current status on their potential use as therapeutic agents is discussed with regard to toxicity and specificity. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Animal feeding studies with fish oil support the observations made in cell culture with respect to the effects of long-chain n-3 FA on NFκB activation and inflammatory cytokine production. Several studies in humans involving supplementation of the diet with fish oil have demonstrated decreased production of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 by endotoxin-stimulated monocytes or mononuclear cells (a mixture of lymphocytes and monocytes) (80) (81) (82) 119) . abstract: Excessive or inappropriate inflammation and immunosuppression are components of the response to surgery, trauma, injury, and infection in some individuals and these can lead, progressively, to sepsis and septic shock. The hyperinflammation is characterized by the production of inflammatory cytokines, arachidonic acid-derived eicosanoids, and other inflammatory mediators, while the immunosuppression is characterized by impairment of antigen presentation and of T helper cell type-1 responses. Long-chain n−3 FA from fish oil decrease the production of inflammatory cytokines and eicosanoids. They act both directly (by replacing arachidonic acid as an eicosanoid substrate and by inhibiting arachidonic acid metabolism) and indirectly (by altering the expression of inflammatory genes through effects on transcription factor activation). Thus, long-chain n−3 FA are potentially useful anti-inflammatory agents and may be of benefit in patients at risk of developing sepsis. As such, an emerging application of n−3 FA is in surgical or critically ill patients where they may be added to parenteral or enteral formulas. Parenteral or enteral nutrition including n−3 FA appears to preserve immune function better than standard formulas and appears to partly prevent some aspects of the inflammatory response. Studies to date are suggestive of clinical benefits from these approaches, especially in postsurgical patients. url: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7101959/ doi: 10.1007/s11745-004-1342-z id: cord-006452-mmdk2xom author: Chen, Jing title: Nucleic Acid-Based Therapeutics for Pulmonary Diseases date: 2018-10-18 words: 6605 sentences: 361 pages: flesch: 38 cache: ./cache/cord-006452-mmdk2xom.txt txt: ./txt/cord-006452-mmdk2xom.txt summary: Nucleic acid-based therapeutics present huge potential in the treatment of pulmonary diseases ranging from lung cancer to asthma and chronic pulmonary diseases, which are often fatal and widely prevalent. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the nucleic acid application for pulmonary diseases, covering action mechanism of the nucleic acid drugs, the novel delivery systems, and the current formulation for the administration to lungs. To overcome these biological barriers, strategies like chemical modification, conjugation, vector encapsulation, and selection of administration route have been utilized to improve the delivery of nucleic acids to lungs. One direction for developing new drugs to treat asthma is to target central pathways to the pathogenesis of the disease, and nucleic acid-mediated therapies silencing the specific effector or the upstream regulator can be a potential approach. Nucleic acid drugs hold great promises as new classes of therapeutic agents for pulmonary diseases, and some candidates have entered into clinical trials (Table III) . abstract: Nucleic acid-based therapeutics present huge potential in the treatment of pulmonary diseases ranging from lung cancer to asthma and chronic pulmonary diseases, which are often fatal and widely prevalent. The susceptibility of nucleic acids to degradation and the complex structure of lungs retard the effective pulmonary delivery of nucleic acid drug. To overcome these barriers, different strategies have been exploited to increase the delivery efficiency using chemically synthesized nucleic acids, vector encapsulation, proper formulation, and administration route. However, several limitations regarding off-target effects and immune stimulation of nucleic acid drugs hamper their translation into the clinical practice. Therefore, their successful clinical application will ultimately rely on well-developed carriers and methods to ensure safety and efficacy. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the nucleic acid application for pulmonary diseases, covering action mechanism of the nucleic acid drugs, the novel delivery systems, and the current formulation for the administration to lungs.

Enantioselective alkylation of aromatic aldehydes with (+)-camphoric acid derived chiral 1,3-diamine ligands abstract: ABSTRACT: An effective technique for one-stage synthesis of new polycyclic nitrogen-containing compounds has been developed. The procedure involves refluxing mixtures of camphoric acid with aliphatic or aromatic diamine without catalysts. In cases where the starting amine has a low boiling point (less than 200 °C), phenol is used as a solvent, as it is the most optimal one for obtaining products with good yields. It has been shown that the use of Lewis acids as catalysts reduces the yield of the reaction products. A set of compounds have been synthesized, which can be attributed to synthetic analogues of alkaloids. In vitro screening for activity influenza virus A was carried out for the obtained compounds. The synthesized quinazoline-like agent 14 has inhibitory activity against different strains of influenza viruses.

The feeding association is important as carbohydrate metabolized by the bacteria is the source of organic acids in the intestinal lumen, and the gases of pneumatosis intestinalis and portal venous tree. Several studies have shown there is a change in the intestinal flora in children who develop necrotizing enterocolitis in that the proteobacteria constitute as much as 70% of the organisms in the stool, in cases within three days preceding the clinical diagnosis of NEC [28] . The common intestinal flora found in all babies and in all intensive care nurseries may be the culprits in a subtle way, not by their invasive characteristics nor their ability to produce toxins, but simply by their ability to ferment carbohydrate and produce organic acids more quickly than the capacity of the preterm infants'' defense mechanisms, the mucosa, and the portal system and liver can accommodate. abstract: Neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis which develops after feeding preterm infants is characterized by severe intestinal inflammation and profound systemic metabolic acidosis. The fermentation of undigested dietary carbohydrate by colonic flora yields gases (CO(2) and H(2)) and short chain organic acids. These organic acids can disrupt the intestinal mucosa and initiate inflammation driven predominantly by resident mast cells and by granulocytes which are recruited from blood. A systemic acidosis ensues derived from intestinal acids, not classic lactic acidosis produced from anaerobic metabolism. The systemic acidosis further compromises inflamed bowel leading to bowel necrosis. url: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24406172/ doi: 10.1016/j.pathophys.2013.11.006 id: cord-002473-2kpxhzbe author: Das, Jayanta Kumar title: Chemical property based sequence characterization of PpcA and its homolog proteins PpcB-E: A mathematical approach date: 2017-03-31 words: 4613 sentences: 285 pages: flesch: 61 cache: ./cache/cord-002473-2kpxhzbe.txt txt: ./txt/cord-002473-2kpxhzbe.txt summary: Secondly, we build a graph theoretic model on using amino acid sequences which is also applied to the cytochrome c7 family members and some unique characteristics and their domains are highlighted. The primary protein sequence is read as consecutive order pairs serially from first amino acid to the end of sequence, and each order pair is nothing but a connected edge between the two nodes where nodes in the graph are involved with different chemical groups of amino acids. Our method of phylogenetic tree formation used the dissimilarity matrix which is obtained for every pair of sequence on the basis of chemical group specific score of amino acids. Based on the phylogenetic tree of five members, we find that the PpcA and PpcD, PpcB and PpcE are mostly closed with regards to the frequency of amino acids of respective eight chemical groups. abstract: Periplasmic c7 type cytochrome A (PpcA) protein is determined in Geobacter sulfurreducens along with its other four homologs (PpcB-E). From the crystal structure viewpoint the observation emerges that PpcA protein can bind with Deoxycholate (DXCA), while its other homologs do not. But it is yet to be established with certainty the reason behind this from primary protein sequence information. This study is primarily based on primary protein sequence analysis through the chemical basis of embedded amino acids. Firstly, we look for the chemical group specific score of amino acids. Along with this, we have developed a new methodology for the phylogenetic analysis based on chemical group dissimilarities of amino acids. This new methodology is applied to the cytochrome c7 family members and pinpoint how a particular sequence is differing with others. Secondly, we build a graph theoretic model on using amino acid sequences which is also applied to the cytochrome c7 family members and some unique characteristics and their domains are highlighted. Thirdly, we search for unique patterns as subsequences which are common among the group or specific individual member. In all the cases, we are able to show some distinct features of PpcA that emerges PpcA as an outstanding protein compared to its other homologs, resulting towards its binding with deoxycholate. Similarly, some notable features for the structurally dissimilar protein PpcD compared to the other homologs are also brought out. Further, the five members of cytochrome family being homolog proteins, they must have some common significant features which are also enumerated in this study. url: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5376323/ doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0175031 id: cord-269943-g77qe5ml author: Di Sotto, Antonella title: Plant-Derived Nutraceuticals and Immune System Modulation: An Evidence-Based Overview date: 2020-08-22 words: 13939 sentences: 685 pages: flesch: 34 cache: ./cache/cord-269943-g77qe5ml.txt txt: ./txt/cord-269943-g77qe5ml.txt summary: In the present review, up to date knowledge on the scientific basis for the immunomodulatory activity and clinical relevance of some emerging classes of plant-derived nutraceuticals, including polysaccharides, fatty acids and labdane diterpenes, has been reported.

The modulation of inflammatory pathways and microbiome can also contribute to control the immune function. Some plant-based nutraceuticals have been studied as possible immunomodulating agents due to their multiple and pleiotropic effects. Being usually more tolerable than pharmacological treatments, their adjuvant contribution is approached as a desirable nutraceutical strategy. In the present review, the up to date knowledge about the immunomodulating properties of polysaccharides, fatty acids and labdane diterpenes have been analyzed, in order to give scientific basic and clinical evidence to support their practical use. Since promising evidence in preclinical studies, limited and sometimes confusing results have been highlighted in clinical trials, likely due to low methodological quality and lacking standardization. More investigations of high quality and specificity are required to describe in depth the usefulness of these plant-derived nutraceuticals in the immune system modulation, for health promoting and disease preventing purposes. url: https://doi.org/10.3390/vaccines8030468 doi: 10.3390/vaccines8030468 id: cord-339227-2i9q9c8u author: Djakpo, Odilon title: Rhus chinensis and Galla Chinensis – folklore to modern evidence: review date: 2010-11-22 words: 6205 sentences: 365 pages: flesch: 49 cache: ./cache/cord-339227-2i9q9c8u.txt txt: ./txt/cord-339227-2i9q9c8u.txt summary: Pentagalloylglucose [1], 3-galloyl-gallic acid and 4-galloyl-gallic acid isomers isolated from Galla chinensis are reported to be the primary bioactive gallotannins, possessing numerous medicinal activities and health benefi ts Sakai et al., 1990; Bhimani et al., 1993; Feldman et al., 2001; .

Anti-HIV-1 activities of extracts from the medicinal plant Rhus chinensis Anti-HIV-1 activities of compounds isolated from the medicinal plant Rhus chinensis abstract: The species Rhus chinensis Mill. (Anacardiaceae) is an important representative of the genus Rhus, which contains over 250 individual species found in temperate and tropical regions worldwide. Rhus chinensis has long been used by folk medicine practitioners in Asia. Leaves, roots, stem, bark, fruit and particularly the galls on Rhus chinensis leaves, Galla chinensis, are recognized to have preventative and therapeutic effects on different ailments (such as diarrhea, dysentery, rectal and intestinal cancer, diabetes mellitus, sepsis, oral diseases and inflammation). However, it is critical to separate evidence from anecdote. Fortunately, recent scientific research has revealed that Rhus chinensis compounds possess strong antiviral, antibacterial, anticancer, hepatoprotective, antidiarrheal and antioxidant activities. Moreover, compounds isolated from the stem of Rhus chinensis significantly suppressed HIV‐1 activity in vitro. Compounds from this plant were also found to inhibit enamel demineralization in vitro and enhance remineralization of dental enamel with fluoride. This review highlights claims from traditional and tribal medicinal lore and makes a contemporary summary of phytochemical, biological and pharmacological findings on this plant material. It aims to show that the pharmaceutical potential of this plant deserves closer attention.

Results showed that serviceberry fruits could be a good source of phenolic constituents and deserved special attention focused on studying their phytochemical profile: the main phenolic groups were catechins (343.46 ± 29.46 mg/100 gFW) > anthocyanins (220.66 ± 17.43 mg/100 gFW) > tannins (209.29 ± 7.81 mg/ 100 gFW) > cinnamic acids (113.52 ± 6.26 mg/100 gFW) > flavonols (62.56 ± 2.86 mg/100 gFW) > benzoic acids (12.70 ± 1.80 mg/ 100 gFW).The phenolic compounds detected in the present work were similar to those reported in other studies on different serviceberry genotypes (Bakowska-Barczak & Kolodziejczyk, 2008; Ozga et al., 2007) . Some of these simple phenolics, together with complex polyphenols, monoterpenes and other phytochemicals (organic acids and vitamin C) make serviceberry an alternative fruit that could contribute to the prevention of chronic diseases resulting from oxidative stress. abstract: Amelanchier canadensis (L.)

This work evaluated the potential of a cultivated serviceberry species as a functional food by characterising its physicochemical characteristics, antioxidant capacity, vitamin C, phenolics and other phytochemicals selected as health-promoting biomarkers, using high-performance liquid chromatography. The most important compound class identified was polyphenols (62.10%), followed by organic acids (22.63%), monoterpenes (7.95%), and vitamins (7.32%). Results showed that serviceberry fruits could be good sources of phenolic constituents, as catechins (343.46 ± 29.46 mg/100 g(FW)), anthocyanins (220.66 ± 17.43 mg/100 g(FW)), and tannins (209.29 ± 7.81 mg/100 g(FW)) (FW = fresh weight). These results highlight the potential role of A. canadensis fruits as a functional food.

Ceramidases (acid, neutral, alkaline) are key enzymes that maintain the intracellular homeostasis of ceramide/SPH and are critical regulators of signals that tilt the balance between cell survival and death. abstract: Ceramide and sphingosine are important interconvertible sphingolipid metabolites which govern various signaling pathways related to different aspects of cell survival and senescence. The conversion of ceramide into sphingosine is mediated by ceramidases. Altogether, five human ceramidases—named acid ceramidase, neutral ceramidase, alkaline ceramidase 1, alkaline ceramidase 2, and alkaline ceramidase 3—have been identified as having maximal activities in acidic, neutral, and alkaline environments, respectively. All five ceramidases have received increased attention for their implications in various diseases, including cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and Farber disease. Furthermore, the potential anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects of ceramidases in host cells exposed to pathogenic bacteria and viruses have also been demonstrated. While ceramidases have been a subject of study in recent decades, our knowledge of their pathophysiology remains limited. Thus, this review provides a critical evaluation and interpretive analysis of existing literature on the role of acid, neutral, and alkaline ceramidases in relation to human health and various diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and infectious diseases. In addition, the essential impact of ceramidases on tissue regeneration, as well as their usefulness in enzyme replacement therapy, is also discussed. url: https://doi.org/10.3390/cells9061379 doi: 10.3390/cells9061379 id: cord-022196-1tionxun author: FENNER, FRANK title: The Nature and Classification of Animal Viruses date: 2013-11-17 words: 9588 sentences: 406 pages: flesch: 46 cache: ./cache/cord-022196-1tionxun.txt txt: ./txt/cord-022196-1tionxun.txt summary: With most isometric particles and in all complex virions, the capsid encloses another protein structure containing the viral genome, called the core. All animal viruses with tubular nucleocapsids are enveloped, and in these the lipid layer from which glycoprotein peplomers project is probably applied to a protein shell (the membrane protein; see Fig. 1 -1), which may be relatively rigid, as in Rhabdovirus, or readily distorted (as in the myxoviruses) so that in negatively stained electron micrographs the virions appear to be pleomorphic. The RNA viruses that have the largest (single-stranded) genomes, those of the Leukovirus genus, also have a highly complex structure with an envelope enclosing an icosahedral capsid that, in turn, surrounds a tubular nucleocapsid. The conventional physicochemical criteria [(a) nucleic acid: type, strandedness, fragmentation, and molecular weight; (b) virion: shape, size, and symmetry] are suitable for classification at this level of family/genus, perhaps assisted by the serological cross-reactivity of "group" antigens where these have been recognized. abstract: nan url: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7155428/ doi: 10.1016/b978-0-12-253040-1.50006-3 id: cord-003020-q69f57el author: Farhadi, Tayebeh title: Computer-aided design of amino acid-based therapeutics: a review date: 2018-05-14 words: 8671 sentences: 583 pages: flesch: 41 cache: ./cache/cord-003020-q69f57el.txt txt: ./txt/cord-003020-q69f57el.txt summary: Computational techniques play a key role to design and develop the amino acid-based therapeutics such as proteins, peptides and peptidomimetics.

Amino acid-based drugs are a group of biologic-based therapeutics that can effectively combat the diseases caused by drug resistance or molecular deficiency. Computational techniques play a key role to design and develop the amino acid-based therapeutics such as proteins, peptides and peptidomimetics. In this study, it was attempted to discuss the various elements for computational design of amino acid-based therapeutics. Protein design seeks to identify the properties of amino acid sequences that fold to predetermined structures with desirable structural and functional characteristics. Peptide drugs occupy a middle space between proteins and small molecules and it is hoped that they can target “undruggable” intracellular protein–protein interactions. Peptidomimetics, the compounds that mimic the biologic characteristics of peptides, present refined pharmacokinetic properties compared to the original peptides. Here, the elaborated techniques that are developed to characterize the amino acid sequences consistent with a specific structure and allow protein design are discussed. Moreover, the key principles and recent advances in currently introduced computational techniques for rational peptide design are spotlighted.

This study is the first to confirm the synergistic effects of gum arabic in the encapsulation of gallic acid by increasing the selectivity towards cancer cells and enhancing the antioxidant properties. According to the results, significant cytotoxicity was elicited among the HepG2, MCF7, MDA-MB231, and HT29 cell lines after treatment with IC 50 concentrations of free and nano encapsulated gallic acid as shown in Fig. 12 . The MDA-MB231 and HT29 cells had a lower fluorescence intensity of PI attributed to the lower toxicity of GA/C6NPs. www.nature.com/scientificreports/ The migration assay was carried out to assess the effect of GANPS and free GA with the IC 50 value of concentrations on MCF7, MDA-MB-231, HepG2, and HT29. abstract: Gallic acid (GA) is a natural phenolic compound with therapeutic effects that are often challenged by its rapid metabolism and clearance. Therefore, GA was encapsulated using gum arabic into nanoparticles to increase its bioavailability. The formulated nanoparticles (GANPs) were characterized for physicochemical properties and size and were then evaluated for antioxidant and antihypertensive effects using various established in vitro assays, including 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), nitric oxide scavenging (NO), β-carotene bleaching and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory assays. The GANPs were further evaluated for the in vitro cytotoxicity, cell uptake and cell migration in four types of human cancer cell lines including (MCF-7, MDA-MB231) breast adenocarcinoma, HepG2 hepatocellular cancer, HT-29 colorectal adenocarcinoma, and MCF-10A breast epithelial cell lines. The GANPs demonstrated potent antioxidant effects and have shown promising anti-cancer properties in a dose-dependent manner with a predilection toward HepG2 and MCF7 cancer cells. The uptake of GANPs was successful in the majority of cancer cells with a propensity to accumulate in the nuclear region of the cells. The HepG2 and MCF7 cancer cells also had a significantly higher percentage of apoptosis and were more sensitive to gallic acid nanoparticle treatment in the cell migration assay. This study is the first to confirm the synergistic effects of gum arabic in the encapsulation of gallic acid by increasing the selectivity towards cancer cells and enhancing the antioxidant properties. The formulated nanoparticles also had remarkably low toxicity in normal cells. Based on these findings, GANPs may have promising therapeutic applications towards the development of more effective treatments with a probable targeting precision in cancer cells. url: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/33082415/ doi: 10.1038/s41598-020-71175-8 id: cord-353815-w35spqqt author: Huan, Yuchen title: Antimicrobial Peptides: Classification, Design, Application and Research Progress in Multiple Fields date: 2020-10-16 words: 12266 sentences: 623 pages: flesch: 38 cache: ./cache/cord-353815-w35spqqt.txt txt: ./txt/cord-353815-w35spqqt.txt summary: This review introduces the progress of research on AMPs comprehensively and systematically, including their classification, mechanism of action, design methods, environmental factors affecting their activity, application status, prospects in various fields and problems to be solved. Tryptophan (Trp), as a non-polar amino acid, has a remarkable effect on the interface region of the lipid bilayer, whereas Arg, as a basic amino acid, confers peptide charge and hydrogen bond interactions, which are essential properties to combine with the bacterial membrane''s abundant anionic component. And it seems that Trp residues play the role of natural aromatic activators of Arg-rich AMPs by ion-pair-π interactions (Walrant et al., 2020) , thereby promoting enhanced peptide-membrane interactions (Chan et al., 2006) . Furthermore, L4H4, which is designed based on the linear cationic amphiphilic peptide magainin, also shows good antibacterial activity and cell penetration properties by inserting four histidine sequences in leucine and alanine (Lointier et al., 2020) . abstract: Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a class of small peptides that widely exist in nature and they are an important part of the innate immune system of different organisms. AMPs have a wide range of inhibitory effects against bacteria, fungi, parasites and viruses.

Despite the general beneficial effects of moderate amounts of alcohol on digestion, the phenolic content of red wine may counter some of these influences. The effect on the latter two groups appears reflected in the reduced incidence of the common cold in moderate alcohol consumers (Cohen et al., 1993) , particularly those drinking red wines (Takkouche et al., 2002) . The source of these benefits may be a combination of enhanced calcium uptake, associated with alcohol consumption (Ilich et al., 2002) , the phytoestrogen effects of phenolics, such as resveratrol and kaempferol, or other unsuspected influences. Review of moderate alcohol consumption and reduced risk of coronary heart disease: is the effect due to beer, wine, or spirits? abstract: Wine has historically been associated with religious rights, used as a salubrious beverage, employed as a medication as well as a medicinal solvent, and consumed as a food accompaniment. It is the last use that is most intimately associated in the minds of most modern consumers. Despite this, there is little flavor commonality on which pairing could be based. The first section of the chapter examines this feature and wine's primary role as a palate cleanser and food condiment. The synergistic role of food and wine in suppressing each other's least pleasant attributes is also explained. The final section deals with the latest evidence relating to the many beneficial health effects of moderate wine consumption, shortfalls in the data, headache induction, dental erosion, and conditions under which wine intake is contraindicated. url: https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/pii/B978012816118000012X doi: 10.1016/b978-0-12-816118-0.00012-x id: cord-318562-jif88gof author: Jiménez-Liso, Maria Rut title: Changing How We Teach Acid-Base Chemistry: A Proposal Grounded in Studies of the History and Nature of Science Education date: 2020-08-15 words: 9892 sentences: 412 pages: flesch: 48 cache: ./cache/cord-318562-jif88gof.txt txt: ./txt/cord-318562-jif88gof.txt summary: Controversial moments in science from 1923, when three researchers (Bronsted, Lowry, and Lewis) independently enunciated two theories from two different paradigms (dissociation and valence electron), underpin our first sequence with an explicit NoS approach for both lower secondary school and upper secondary or university levels. In this theoretical article examining teaching practice, we want to focus on the historical development of acid-base theories (Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry and Lewis) to analyse the steps to follow to design sequences of activities for different NoS approaches. We examine conventional teaching approaches to the topic and its consequences in terms of students'' alternative conceptions and their difficulties to transfer and apply knowledge and to recognize acid-base models'' limits of applicability. The science education literature is replete with examples of the consequences for students'' learning of this typical way of teaching acid-base content focused on the definition of its concepts and with two or three theories introduced simultaneously. abstract: We propose explicit and implicit approaches for the teaching of acid-base chemistry based on research into the history and nature of science (NoS). To support these instructional proposals, we identify four rationales for students to understand acid-base processes: daily life, socio-scientific, curriculum, and history of science. The extensive bibliography on misconceptions at all educational levels justifies the need for a change from the usual pedagogical approaches to teaching the acid-base domain (traditionally involving conceptual-focused teaching) to a deeper and more meaningful approach that provides (implicitly or explicitly) a chance to reflect on how scientific knowledge is constructed. Controversial moments in science from 1923, when three researchers (Bronsted, Lowry, and Lewis) independently enunciated two theories from two different paradigms (dissociation and valence electron), underpin our first sequence with an explicit NoS approach for both lower secondary school and upper secondary or university levels. Our inquiry teaching cycle promotes the transformation of a hands-on activity (using cabbage as an indicator) into an inquiry, and subsequently, we use an historical model to propose a sequence of activities based on the modeling cycle of Couso and Garrido-Espeja for lower secondary school. Finally, we identify some implications for a model-focused teaching approach for upper secondary and university levels using more sophisticated models. url: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/32836880/ doi: 10.1007/s11191-020-00142-6 id: cord-351609-lqul2ho8 author: Kaczmarek, Beata title: Tannic Acid with Antiviral and Antibacterial Activity as A Promising Component of Biomaterials—A Minireview date: 2020-07-20 words: 5942 sentences: 379 pages: flesch: 44 cache: ./cache/cord-351609-lqul2ho8.txt txt: ./txt/cord-351609-lqul2ho8.txt summary: Tannic acid has been reported to present the activity against Influeneza A virus, Papilloma viruses, noroviruses, Herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) as well as activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus pyogenes, Enterococcus faecalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Yersinia enterocolitica, Listeria innocua.

It has been widely studied in the biomedical field of science because it presents unique antiviral as well as antibacterial properties. Tannic acid has been reported to present the activity against Influeneza A virus, Papilloma viruses, noroviruses, Herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) as well as activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus pyogenes, Enterococcus faecalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Yersinia enterocolitica, Listeria innocua. Nowadays, compounds of natural origin constitute fundaments of material science, and the trend is called “from nature to nature”. Although biopolymers have found a broad range of applications in biomedical sciences, they do not present anti-microbial activity, and their physicochemical properties are rather poor. Biopolymers, however, may be modified with organic and inorganic additives which enhance their properties. Tannic acid, like phenolic acid, is classified into a polyphenolic group and can be isolated from natural sources, e.g., a pure compound or a component of a plant extract. Numerous studies have been carried out over the application of tannic acid as an additive to biopolymer materials due to its unique properties. On the one hand, it shows antimicrobial and antiviral activity, while on the other hand, it reveals promising biological properties, i.e., enhances the cell proliferation, tissue regeneration and wound healing processes. Tannic acid is added to different biopolymers, collagen and polysaccharides as chitosan, agarose and starch. Its activity has been proven by the determination of physicochemical properties, as well as the performance of in vitro and in vivo studies. This systematics review is a summary of current studies on tannic acid properties. It presents tannic acid as an excellent natural compound which can be used to eliminate pathogenic factors as well as a revision of current studies on tannic acid composed with biopolymers and active properties of the resulting complexes. url: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/32698426/ doi: 10.3390/ma13143224 id: cord-325743-5ujiscdt author: Kitajima, Ken title: Advanced Technologies in Sialic Acid and Sialoglycoconjugate Analysis date: 2015-05-28 words: 7597 sentences: 409 pages: flesch: 45 cache: ./cache/cord-325743-5ujiscdt.txt txt: ./txt/cord-325743-5ujiscdt.txt summary: Here we describe analytical methods for detection of Sia that have recently been developed or improved, with a special focus on 9-O-acetylated N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5,9Ac), N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc), deaminoneuraminic acid (Kdn), O-sulfated Sia (SiaS), and di-, oligo-, and polysialic acid (diSia/oligoSia/polySia) in glycoproteins and glycolipids. In this chapter we summarize current chemical and immunochemical methods to detect modified Sia species, with a special focus on O-acetylated Neu5Ac, Neu5Gc, Kdn, O-sulfated Sia, as well as diSia, oligoSia, and polySia. Because other chapters in this volume specifically focus on O-acetylated Neu5Ac [7] , Neu5Gc [8] , and polySia [9] , we restrict ourselves in this chapter to a brief introduction of the different Sia species. To observe and quantify the internal sialic acids of α2!8-linked di-, oligo-, and polySia-containing glycoconjugates, sensitive chemical methods were developed with highly sensitive fluorescent labeling reagents (DMB) as described above [69] . abstract: Although the structural diversity of sialic acid (Sia) is rapidly expanding, understanding of its biological significance has lagged behind. Advanced technologies to detect and probe diverse structures of Sia are absolutely necessary not only to understand further biological significance but also to pursue medicinal and industrial applications.

As glycosidase substrates, GSLs with four carbohydrate residues or less require the additional presence of small lipid binding glycoproteins, either the GM2 activator protein or one of the four saposins A-D. In vitro, in addition to enzymes and activator proteins, also an appropriate membrane-lipid composition of the ganglioside-containing membrane is required for degradation [222] . Due to the deficiency of two enzyme activities, β-hexosaminidases A and B, storage of negatively charged glycolipids characteristic for Tay-Sachs disease and, in addition, of uncharged substrates such as GA2 in the brain and globoside in visceral organs (Figure 16 ) is observed. abstract: Gangliosides are sialic acid-containing glycosphingolipids.

The focus of this article is recent progress in the field of peptide-mediated cellular delivery of siRNA and steric block oligonucleotides in cell tissue culture as a starting point for further developments illustrated by own experimental data. In contrast to many noncovalent CPP-mediated siRNA delivery approaches, efficient splice correction was only achieved with conjugates of peptide and steric block oligonucleotide. As outlined above, our quantitative studies along with microscopic analyses of siRNAs and steric block oligonucleotides using either a peptide or a commercially availably cationic lipid as carrier clearly show that less than 0.1% -5% of molecules taken up are involved in a biological response, i.e. RNAimediated down regulation or splice correction-mediated up regulation of reporter gene activity. abstract: Cellular uptake of therapeutic oligonucleotides and subsequent intracellular trafficking to their target sites represents the major technical hurdle for the biological effectiveness of these potential drugs. Accordingly, laboratories worldwide focus on the development of suitable delivery systems. Among the different available non-viral systems like cationic polymers, cationic liposomes and polymeric nanoparticles, cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) represent an attractive concept to bypass the problem of poor membrane permeability of these charged macromolecules. While uptake per se in most cases does not represent the main obstacle of nucleic acid delivery in vitro, it becomes increasingly apparent that intracellular trafficking is the bottleneck. As a consequence, in order to optimize a given delivery system, a side-by-side analysis of nucleic acid cargo internalized and the corresponding biological effect is required to determine the overall efficacy. In this review, we will concentrate on peptide-mediated delivery of siRNAs and steric block oligonucleotides and discuss different methods for quantitative assessment of the amount of cargo taken up and how to correlate those numbers with biological effects by applying easy to handle reporter systems. To illustrate current limitations of non-viral nucleic acid delivery systems, we present own data as an example and discuss options of how to enhance trafficking of molecules entrapped in cellular compartments. url: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2778081/ doi: 10.2174/138161208786898806 id: cord-343418-519vkzci author: Li, Hao title: Study on the Performance Degradation of Sandstone under Acidification date: 2020-10-21 words: 3993 sentences: 210 pages: flesch: 52 cache: ./cache/cord-343418-519vkzci.txt txt: ./txt/cord-343418-519vkzci.txt summary: X-ray diffraction qualitative analysis of the composition and concentration of ions shows that the formation of white precipitates is citric acid and Mg promotes the conversion of amorphous calcium carbonate to high-crystallinity calcite, forming a white precipitate. Due to the influence of the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), the research period was extended to 93 days, and it was unexpectedly concluded that the citric acid action promoted the precipitation of regular carbonate in the sandstone, resulting in calcium crystals, and an experimental analysis of the reasons for precipitation. Group 5 shows a relatively high ion content, indicating that hydrochloric acid and acetic acid both react with minerals in the sandstone, although the cores used in groups 4 and 7 are the most damaged due to the formation of precipitated substances by weak acids. abstract: [Image: see text] In most oilfields, acid fracturing is widely used for oil production. Understanding the relationship between the individual factors (i.e., carbonate rock types, acid rock reaction kinetics, and deterioration of rock mechanical properties) can provide practical guidelines that can be used for the design and optimization of acid fracturing operation. This paper takes hydrochloric acid, acetic acid, and citric acid as the main research objects and carries out acidification experiments on sandstone in Changqing Oilfield, China. In addition, the effects of tribasic, dibasic, and monobasic acids on the mechanical properties of sandstone were studied. Results show that in this study area, the most obvious effect was seen with the use of dibasic acids (hydrochloric acid + acetic acid), which effectively reduced the sample quality, uniaxial compressive strength, and elastic modulus. Citric acid and Mg promote the conversion of amorphous calcium carbonate to high-crystallinity calcite, forming a white precipitate. Furthermore, it is found by scanning electron microscopy analysis that experimental group 5 (hydrochloric acid + acetic acid) has the most ideal rock erosion effect. Inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry analysis shows that the acid rock is present in the solution. X-ray diffraction qualitative analysis of the composition and concentration of ions shows that the formation of white precipitates is citric acid and Mg promotes the conversion of amorphous calcium carbonate to high-crystallinity calcite, forming a white precipitate. The findings of this study can help to better understand the erosion, failure state, and failure mechanism of different acid types on sandstone, which may provide certain references and guidelines for sandstone acid fracturing oil production. url: https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.0c04312 doi: 10.1021/acsomega.0c04312 id: cord-017504-rtg7fs82 author: Lim, T.

In terms of signal transduction, the phospholipase A 2 (PLA 2 ) reaction, which hydrolyzes the sn-2 position of phospholipids to yield fatty acids and lysophospholipids, has been considered to be of particular importance, since arachidonic acid (AA, C20:4), one of the polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) released from membrane phospholipids by PLA 2 , is metabolized by cyclooxygenases (COXs) and lipoxygenases (LOXs) to lipid mediators including prostaglandins (PGs) and leukotrienes (LTs), which are often referred to as eicosanoids (Fig. 1) . 36) cPLA 2 C (group IVE PLA 2 ) exhibits a unique transacylase activity that transfers sn-1 fatty acid of PC to an amino residue of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) to form N-acyl-PE, a precursor of the endocannabinoid lipid mediator N-acylethanolamine. abstract: The phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) family comprises a group of lipolytic enzymes that typically hydrolyze the sn-2 position of glycerophospholipids to give rise to fatty acids and lysophospholipids. The mammalian genome encodes more than 50 PLA(2)s or related enzymes, which are classified into several subfamilies on the basis of their structures and functions. From a general viewpoint, the PLA(2) family has mainly been implicated in signal transduction, producing bioactive lipid mediators derived from fatty acids and lysophospholipids. Recent evidence indicates that PLA(2)s also contribute to phospholipid remodeling for membrane homeostasis or energy production for fatty acid β-oxidation. Accordingly, PLA(2) enzymes can be regarded as one of the key regulators of the quality of lipids, which I herein refer to as lipoquality. Disturbance of PLA(2)-regulated lipoquality hampers tissue and cellular homeostasis and can be linked to various diseases.

In this study, lime-treated wheat straw was hydrolyzed and fermented simultaneously to lactic acid by an enzyme preparation and Bacillus coagulans DSM 2314. Decrease in pH because of lactic acid formation was partially adjusted by automatic addition of the alkaline substrate. After 55 h of incubation, the polymeric glucan, xylan, and arabinan present in the lime-treated straw were hydrolyzed for 55%, 75%, and 80%, respectively. Lactic acid (40.7 g/l) indicated a fermentation efficiency of 81% and a chiral l(+)-lactic acid purity of 97.2%. In total, 711 g lactic acid was produced out of 2,706 g lime-treated straw, representing 43% of the overall theoretical maximum yield. Approximately half of the lactic acid produced was neutralized by fed-batch feeding of lime-treated straw, whereas the remaining half was neutralized during the batch phase with a Ca(OH)(2) suspension. Of the lime added during the pretreatment of straw, 61% was used for the neutralization of lactic acid.

Similar to other amino acid and peptide mimetics used as protease inhibitors, this is the effect of the incorporation of a covalent or non-covalent binding group (here involved in coordination of a catalytic metal ion(s) in the enzyme active site) into a substrate structure. Additionally, the P1 side chain of the aminophosphonic acid analogues (or more effectively, both P1 and P1 0 residues of the pseudopeptides phosphoryl moiety) gives further possibility of structural optimization of substituents interacting with the S1 and S1 0 binding pockets of the enzyme (Fig. 3) Fig. 4 ), appeared to be efficient inhibitors of LAP with a K i ¼ 0.15 [90] and 0.23 mM [87] for the R (L) enantiomers. abstract: Aminopeptidases are enzymes that selectively hydrolyze an amino acid residue from the N-terminus of proteins and peptides. They are important for the proper functioning of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, but very often are central players in the devastating human diseases like cancer, malaria and diabetes. The largest aminopeptidase group include enzymes containing metal ion(s) in their active centers, which often determines the type of inhibitors that are the most suitable for them. Effective ligands mostly bind in a non-covalent mode by forming complexes with the metal ion(s). Here, we present several approaches for the design of inhibitors for metallo-aminopeptidases.

The results of this study indicate that influenza virus infection dysregulates glucose and fatty acid metabolism and decreases tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle activity, leading to enhanced degradation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and guanosine triphosphate (GTP). Metabolites that were present at reduced levels in the sera of PR8 virus-infected mice were mainly related to the TCA cycle, urea cycle, and amino acid metabolism, as indicated by the serum levels of metabolite in these pathways at 1, 3, and 6 dpi (Fig. 2) . abstract: Although the severity of influenza virus infections has been associated with host energy metabolism, the related mechanisms have not yet been clarified. Here we examined the effects of influenza virus infection on host energy metabolism in mice. After infecting mice with intranasal applications of 500 plaque-forming units of A/Puerto Rico/8/34 (H1N1; PR8) virus, the serum levels of most intermediates in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and related metabolic pathways were significantly reduced. These data suggest that substrate supply to the TCA cycle is reduced under these conditions, rather than specific metabolic reactions being inhibited. Then, we focused on glucose and fatty acid metabolism that supply substrates to the TCA cycle. Akt phosphorylation following insulin injections was attenuated in the livers of PR8 virus-infected mice. Furthermore, glucose tolerance tests revealed that the PR8 virus-infected mice showed higher blood glucose levels than the vehicle-inoculated control mice. These results suggest that influenza virus infection impairs insulin signaling, which regulates glucose uptake. However, increases in the hepatic expressions of fatty acid-metabolizing enzymes suggest that fatty acids accumulate in liver cells of infected mice. Collectively, our data indicate that influenza virus infection dysregulates host energy metabolism. This line of investigation provides novel insights into the pathogenesis of influenza. url: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-67879-6 doi: 10.1038/s41598-020-67879-6 id: cord-017131-rx1z4orm author: Patra, Amlan Kumar title: An Overview of Antimicrobial Properties of Different Classes of Phytochemicals date: 2012-02-18 words: 10500 sentences: 571 pages: flesch: 40 cache: ./cache/cord-017131-rx1z4orm.txt txt: ./txt/cord-017131-rx1z4orm.txt summary: Although numerous studies have been conducted in vitro and in vivo in the recent years on the efficacy of plant phytochemicals as antimicrobial agents, this chapter provides an overview of the antimicrobial properties of some major group of phytochemicals, namely, different phenolic compounds, alkaloids, saponins, iridoids and secoiridoids, polyacetylenes, glucosinolates, terpenoids, sulfinate, limonoids (tetranortepenoids) and anthranoids against pathogenic bacteria, fungi, viruses and commensal bacteria in the intestinal tracts of humans and animals.

Although studies of the role of acid-base balance in health and disease have resulted in the generation of several FDA-approved pharmaceuticals such as contraceptive gels and gastric-acid suppressors, systematic reviews of random trials of the clinical effectiveness of NaHCO3 itself tend to be circumspect in their conclusions. For example: MAc can result from diet, chronic kidney disease, and diabetes (diabetic ketoacidosis) or can follow acute myocardial infarction (lactic acidosis), mutations in renal acid-base transporters (renal tubular acidosis, see section 4.9), intoxication with compounds (e.g., aspirin), and diarrhea (loss of HCO3 --rich secretions) [53] [54] [55] [56] [57] . abstract: Baking soda and vinegar have been used as home remedies for generations and today we are only a mouse-click away from claims that baking soda, lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar are miracles cures for everything from cancer to COVID-19. Despite these specious claims, the therapeutic value of controlling acid-base balance is indisputable and is the basis of Food and Drug Administration-approved treatments for constipation, epilepsy, metabolic acidosis, and peptic ulcers. In this narrative review, we present evidence in support of the current and potential therapeutic value of countering local and systemic acid-base imbalances, several of which do in fact involve the administration of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate). Furthermore, we discuss the side effects of pharmaceuticals on acid-base balance as well as the influence of acid-base status on pharmacokinetic properties of drugs.

Besides, hairy root cultures are usually capable of producing the same compound(s) of identical chemistry found in wild-type roots of the naturally occurring parent plant without loss of structural integrity and/or quantity or concentration of the product, which is frequently observed in callus or cell suspension cultures [22] . Fast growth, low doubling time, ease of maintenance of hairy roots, and their ability to synthesize a large range of chemical compounds offer an additional advantage as a continuous source for the production of valuable secondary metabolites [25] . This study tested the sc-RIP extracts from the seeds and hairy root tissue cultures of Luffa cylindrica (established by transformation with Agrobacterium rhizogenes strain 1855) for inhibitory effects on the growth of in vitro melanotic and amelanotic human melanoma cell lines [79] . abstract: Cucurbits are important group of vegetables due to their nutritional significance and are also used for valuable traditional medicine. The infection of plants by Agrobacterium rhizogenes results in a hairy root (HR) phenotype characterized by rapid growth in hormone-free medium, an unusual ageotropism and extensive lateral branching. These genetically transformed root cultures (hairy roots) can produce levels of secondary metabolites comparable to that of intact plants. Hairy root cultures offer promise for high production and productivity of valuable secondary metabolites in many plants. High stability and productivity features allow the exploitation of HRs as valuable biotechnological tool for the production of plant secondary metabolites. While these chemical compounds are employed by plants for interactions with their environment, humans have long since explored and exploited plant secondary metabolites for medicinal and practical uses. The main constraint for commercial exploitation of hairy root cultivations is the development and scaling up of appropriate reactor vessels (bioreactors) that permit the growth of interconnected tissues normally unevenly distributed throughout the vessel. Emphasis has focused on designing appropriate bioreactors suitable to culture the delicate and sensitive plant hairy roots. To this end, hairy root culture presents an excellent platform for producing valuable secondary metabolites. For these reasons, this chapter describes the establishment of hairy roots and production of secondary metabolites from hairy roots of cucurbits and also phytochemicals uses for biological activity. url: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7123301/ doi: 10.1007/978-3-319-28669-3_6 id: cord-034362-4xdtbbzb author: Remesar, Xavier title: Dietary Energy Partition: The Central Role of Glucose date: 2020-10-19 words: 18431 sentences: 901 pages: flesch: 49 cache: ./cache/cord-034362-4xdtbbzb.txt txt: ./txt/cord-034362-4xdtbbzb.txt summary: Under conditions of excess glucose availability, its conversion to 3C eases the pressure over the regulation of glycaemia and allows for the direct use of its energy via 3C [48, 49] , in a way comparable to the "pre-preparation" of fatty acids (2Cn) fragments to plasma-soluble ketone bodies (2C2 fragments). Most of the inter-organ substrate cycles were described as mechanisms preventing the dangers of reducing power or 2-amino N accumulation in muscle or other peripheral tissues under conditions of active use of glucose or amino acids (i.e., during exercise) for energy; they always present a time-delay component for maximal effectiveness. This may be considered either as another contribution to regulate glycaemia or as an alternative to produce 3C fragments (essentially lactate and glycerol) in massive amounts to supply ready-to-use energy to most organs (including the brain) to circumvent the regulatory difficulties of glucose utilization under situations of excess substrate and/or insulin resistance [36, 43, 47, 96] . abstract: Humans have developed effective survival mechanisms under conditions of nutrient (and energy) scarcity. Nevertheless, today, most humans face a quite different situation: excess of nutrients, especially those high in amino-nitrogen and energy (largely fat). The lack of mechanisms to prevent energy overload and the effective persistence of the mechanisms hoarding key nutrients such as amino acids has resulted in deep disorders of substrate handling. There is too often a massive untreatable accumulation of body fat in the presence of severe metabolic disorders of energy utilization and disposal, which become chronic and go much beyond the most obvious problems: diabetes, circulatory, renal and nervous disorders included loosely within the metabolic syndrome. We lack basic knowledge on diet nutrient dynamics at the tissue-cell metabolism level, and this adds to widely used medical procedures lacking sufficient scientific support, with limited or nil success. In the present longitudinal analysis of the fate of dietary nutrients, we have focused on glucose as an example of a largely unknown entity. Even most studies on hyper-energetic diets or their later consequences tend to ignore the critical role of carbohydrate (and nitrogen disposal) as (probably) the two main factors affecting the substrate partition and metabolism. url: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7593952/ doi: 10.3390/ijms21207729 id: cord-329844-w969lczb author: Robson, B. title: Bioinformatics studies on a function of the SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein as the binding of host sialic acid glycans date: 2020-06-08 words: 15903 sentences: 664 pages: flesch: 49 cache: ./cache/cord-329844-w969lczb.txt txt: ./txt/cord-329844-w969lczb.txt summary: The location of any sialic acid glycan binding region of SARS-CoV-2 is, a priori unclear, although intuitively (a) it would likely be associated with the cap or knob at the outer end of the spike protein, or (b) at least not involve exactly the same domain as is required for other important functions. An algorithm for predicting the domains and proteins involved in sialic acid glycan binding is developed in the course of the project described in Results Section 4, but this is primarily of a highly empirical nature. This, plus a sequence rather than three dimensional structure perspective, and a specific focus on binding sialic acid glycans rather than sugars in general, resulted in a substantial difference in scores from another major method of predicting sugar binding regions of proteins also discussed later below. abstract: SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 do not appear to have functions of a hemagglutinin and neuraminidase. This is a mystery, because sugar binding activities appear essential to many other viruses including influenza and even most other coronaviruses in order to bind to and escape from the glycans (sugars, oligosaccharides or polysaccharides) characteristic of cell surfaces and saliva and mucin. The S1 N terminal Domains (S1-NTD) of the spike protein, largely responsible for the bulk of the characteristic knobs at the end of the spikes of SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2, are here predicted to be “hiding” sites for recognizing and binding glycans containing sialic acid. This may be important for infection and the ability of the virus to locate ACE2 as its known main host cell surface receptor, and if so it becomes a pharmaceutical target. It might even open up the possibility of an alternative receptor to ACE2. The prediction method developed, which uses amino acid residue sequence alone to predict domains or proteins that bind to sialic acids, is naïve, and will be advanced in future work. Nonetheless, it was surprising that such a very simple approach was so useful, and it can easily be reproduced in a very few lines of computer program to help make quick comparisons between SARS-CoV-2 sequences and to consider the effects of viral mutations. url: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/32658736/ doi: 10.1016/j.compbiomed.2020.103849 id: cord-332165-31tbc31x author: Rustmeier, Nils H. title: The Symmetry of Viral Sialic Acid Binding Sites—Implications for Antiviral Strategies date: 2019-10-14 words: 5820 sentences: 316 pages: flesch: 43 cache: ./cache/cord-332165-31tbc31x.txt txt: ./txt/cord-332165-31tbc31x.txt summary: In this review, we will evaluate the structures of non-enveloped virus capsid proteins bound to sialylated glycan receptors and discuss the potential of these structures for the development of potent antiviral attachment inhibitors. This concept of targeting multiple, symmetric receptor binding sites by multivalent inhibitors is also applicable for many viruses, since viral capsids are often icosahedral and, therefore, highly symmetric structures. Many members of the polyomavirus family bind sialic acid-based glycans using their VP1 proteins, so the binding sites on individual pentamers are always linked by local five-fold symmetry (Figure 4a , TSPyV). The glycooligopeptide-VP1 complex structures displayed a similar ligand binding mode that was reported for sialic acid in an earlier study [50] and showed, for the compounds, that the linker between the ligand and the scaffold occupies the space that is usually targeted by the natural glycan receptor moieties (Figure 5a,b, right) . abstract: Virus infections are initiated by the attachment of the viral particle to protein or carbohydrate receptors on the host cell. Sialic acid-bearing glycan structures are prominently displayed at the cell surface, and, consequently, these structures can function as receptors for a large number of diverse viruses. Structural biology research has helped to establish the molecular bases for many virus–sialic acid interactions. Due to the icosahedral 532 point group symmetry that underlies many viral capsids, the receptor binding sites are frequently arranged in a highly symmetric fashion and linked by five-fold, three-fold, or two-fold rotation axes. For the inhibition of viral attachment, one emerging strategy is based on developing multivalent sialic acid-based inhibitors that can simultaneously engage several of these binding sites, thus binding viral capsids with high avidity. In this review, we will evaluate the structures of non-enveloped virus capsid proteins bound to sialylated glycan receptors and discuss the potential of these structures for the development of potent antiviral attachment inhibitors. url: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31615155/ doi: 10.3390/v11100947 id: cord-017813-qhsymg0r author: Sanchez, Sergio title: Bioactive Products from Fungi date: 2017-01-11 words: 11633 sentences: 762 pages: flesch: 47 cache: ./cache/cord-017813-qhsymg0r.txt txt: ./txt/cord-017813-qhsymg0r.txt summary: They are excellent producers of hydrolytic enzymes, biofuels, organic acids, polysaccharides, and secondary metabolites such as antibiotics, anticancer drugs, hypocholesterolemic agents, immunosuppressants, and others.

Other products include anti-tumor drugs, hypocholesterolemic agents, enzyme inhibitors, gastrointestinal motor stimulators, ruminant growth stimulants, insecticides, herbicides, antiparasitics versus coccidia and helminths, and other pharmacological activities. In view of the low concentration of camptothecin in tree roots and poor yield from chemical synthesis, the fungal fermentation is very promising for industrial production of camptothecin. niger was an excellent producer of citric acid and, as a result, the Pfizer company in New York began large-scale fermentation production in 1923. abstract: Fungi are amazing producers of natural products.

In case of derivatives of MPA with isoleucine 14 or malonate 17 moiety the best results were received using the T3P/Et 3 N procedure, where triethylamine acts as a base and propanephosphonic acid anhydride (T3P) is a condensing reagent (Scheme 2).

Given the large variety of chemical reporters preferentially mimicking distinct fatty acids, recent years have witnessed a plethora of chemistry-based proteomic studies not only on palmitoylated but also myristoylated proteins and proteins bearing the GPI anchor, including those of pathogens and immune cells (10, 14, 85, 86, 114) The aBe Method Reveals Protein The envelope is rich in transmembrane, often S-palmitoylated, glycoproteins called spikes, which can bind to cognate receptors on the host cell plasma membrane triggering endocytosis of the virion, mediate subsequent fusion of the viral and cellular membranes allowing entry of the viral genome to the cytoplasm, and are also involved in the budding of newly formed virus particles from the cell. abstract: S-palmitoylation is a reversible, enzymatic posttranslational modification of proteins in which palmitoyl chain is attached to a cysteine residue via a thioester linkage. S-palmitoylation determines the functioning of proteins by affecting their association with membranes, compartmentalization in membrane domains, trafficking, and stability. In this review, we focus on S-palmitoylation of proteins, which are crucial for the interactions of pathogenic bacteria and viruses with the host. We discuss the role of palmitoylated proteins in the invasion of host cells by bacteria and viruses, and those involved in the host responses to the infection.

Classification into presumably protective or non-protective epitopes is conducted using three independently determined parameters: predicted B-cell antigenicity, sequence variability and conservation of post-translational modification motifs. These results are relativated later in this work when using only potentially relevant domains of a protein antigen, indicating systematic problems of the way B-cell epitope prediction validation is usually conducted. Briefly, proteins were completely scored for antigenicity/protectivity but amino-acid scores in regions outside domains assumed to be surface exposed were set to 0 thus leading to a generic classification as non-protective. On this compilation protectivity prediction using PCA19 in combination with variability and modification likelihood performed significantly better after domain-accessibility filtering as measured by AROC values, while without filtering performance was comparable (although again slightly better) to antigenicity validation results on the Blythe et.al validation-set. abstract: BACKGROUND: The application of peptide based diagnostics and therapeutics mimicking part of protein antigen is experiencing renewed interest. So far selection and design rationale for such peptides is usually driven by T-cell epitope prediction, available experimental and modelled 3D structure, B-cell epitope predictions such as hydrophilicity plots or experience. If no structure is available the rational selection of peptides for the production of functionally altering or neutralizing antibodies is practically impossible. Specifically if many alternative antigens are available the reduction of required synthesized peptides until one successful candidate is found is of central technical interest. We have investigated the integration of B-cell epitope prediction with the variability of antigen and the conservation of patterns for post-translational modification (PTM) prediction to improve over state of the art in the field. In particular the application of machine-learning methods shows promising results. RESULTS: We find that protein regions leading to the production of functionally altering antibodies are often characterized by a distinct increase in the cumulative sum of three presented parameters. Furthermore the concept to maximize antigenicity, minimize variability and minimize the likelihood of post-translational modification for the identification of relevant sites leads to biologically interesting observations. Primarily, for about 50% of antigen the approach works well with individual area under the ROC curve (AROC) values of at least 0.65. On the other hand a significant portion reveals equivalently low AROC values of < = 0.35 indicating an overall non-Gaussian distribution. While about a third of 57 antigens are seemingly intangible by our approach our results suggest the existence of at least two distinct classes of bioinformatically detectable epitopes which should be predicted separately. As a side effect of our study we present a hand curated dataset for the validation of protectivity classification. Based on this dataset machine-learning methods further improve predictive power to a class separation in an equilibrated dataset of up to 83%. CONCLUSION: We present a computational method to automatically select and rank peptides for the stimulation of potentially protective or otherwise functionally altering antibodies. It can be shown that integration of variability, post-translational modification pattern conservation and B-cell antigenicity improve rational selection over random guessing. Probably more important, we find that for about 50% of antigen the approach works substantially better than for the overall dataset of 57 proteins. Essentially as a side effect our method optimizes for presumably best applicable peptides as they tend to be likely unmodified and as invariable as possible which is answering needs in diagnosis and treatment of pathogen infection. In addition we show the potential for further improvement by the application of machine-learning methods, in particular Random Forests. url: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18179690/ doi: 10.1186/1745-7580-4-1 id: cord-026012-r0w0jbpg author: TENNANT, BUD C. title: Gastrointestinal Function date: 2014-06-27 words: 19858 sentences: 1049 pages: flesch: 50 cache: ./cache/cord-026012-r0w0jbpg.txt txt: ./txt/cord-026012-r0w0jbpg.txt summary: In the dog, gastric juice is produced in the resting state at a rate of approximately 5 ml/hour (Gray and Bûcher, 1941) , and the composition is similar to that of the basal component, containing practi cally no peptic activity or hydrochloric acid.

The principal functions of the gastrointestinal tract are assimilation of nutrients and excretion of the waste products of digestion. Within the gastrointestinal tract, these substances are solubilized and degraded enzymatically to simple molecules, sufficiently small in size and in a form that permits absorption across the mucosal epithelium. The distribution of the different types of secretory cells in the salivary glands varies among species. The mandibular and sublingual glands are mixed salivary glands containing both mucous and serous types of cells, and produce a viscous secretion that contains large amounts of mucus. The cytoplasm of the secretory cells contains numerous zymogen granules that vary in size and number depending on the activity of the gland. These granules contain the precursors of the hydrolytic enzymes responsible for digestion of the major dietary components. The cells of the terminal ducts probably secrete the bicarbonate ion responsible for neutralizing hydrochloric acid that enters the duodenum from the stomach. url: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7271190/ doi: 10.1016/b978-0-12-396350-5.50013-9 id: cord-252584-pcp1i0vb author: Troesch, Barbara title: Expert Opinion on Benefits of Long-Chain Omega-3 Fatty Acids (DHA and EPA) in Aging and Clinical Nutrition date: 2020-08-24 words: 11710 sentences: 535 pages: flesch: 41 cache: ./cache/cord-252584-pcp1i0vb.txt txt: ./txt/cord-252584-pcp1i0vb.txt summary: However, this was a very small study and it has also been suggested that olive oil, which was used as a placebo, may have a protective effect for Alzheimer''s disease [64] and might therefore have masked the effect of the supplementation with omega-3 LCPUFAs. Similarly, an intervention comparing 200 mg EPA plus 500 mg DHA daily for 24 months compared to olive oil did not find an effect on the California Verbal Learning Test in cognitively healthy older adults (mean age 75 years) [65] . Based on evidence from different systematic reviews [143, [154] [155] [156] [157] , the ESPEN guidelines for nutrition in cancer patients state "in patients with advanced cancer undergoing chemotherapy and at risk of weight loss or malnourished, we suggest to use supplementation with long-chain omega-3 fatty acids or fish oil to stabilize or improve appetite, food intake, lean body mass and body weight" but the recommendation is graded as weak and the level of evidence as low [158] . abstract: Life expectancy is increasing and so is the prevalence of age-related non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Consequently, older people and patients present with multi-morbidities and more complex needs, putting significant pressure on healthcare systems. Effective nutrition interventions could be an important tool to address patient needs, improve clinical outcomes and reduce healthcare costs. Inflammation plays a central role in NCDs, so targeting it is relevant to disease prevention and treatment. The long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (omega-3 LCPUFAs) docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) are known to reduce inflammation and promote its resolution, suggesting a beneficial role in various therapeutic areas. An expert group reviewed the data on omega-3 LCPUFAs in specific patient populations and medical conditions. Evidence for benefits in cognitive health, age- and disease-related decline in muscle mass, cancer treatment, surgical patients and critical illness was identified. Use of DHA and EPA in some conditions is already included in some relevant guidelines. However, it is important to note that data on the effects of omega-3 LCPUFAs are still inconsistent in many areas (e.g., cognitive decline) due to a range of factors that vary amongst the trials performed to date; these factors include dose, timing and duration; baseline omega-3 LCPUFA status; and intake of other nutrients. Well-designed intervention studies are required to optimize the effects of DHA and EPA in specific patient populations and to develop more personalized strategies for their use. url: https://doi.org/10.3390/nu12092555 doi: 10.3390/nu12092555 id: cord-310847-63gh2tg4 author: Uversky, Vladimir N title: The alphabet of intrinsic disorder: II.

Glutamic acid is an important functional residue of ordered proteins, where it can be involved in the formation of specific electrostatic valves inside the pores of ion channels, or can play unique catalytic roles in the active sites abstract: The ability of a protein to fold into unique functional state or to stay intrinsically disordered is encoded in its amino acid sequence. Both ordered and intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are natural polypeptides that use the same arsenal of 20 proteinogenic amino acid residues as their major building blocks. The exceptional structural plasticity of IDPs, their capability to exist as heterogeneous structural ensembles and their wide array of important disorder-based biological functions that complements functional repertoire of ordered proteins are all rooted within the peculiar differential usage of these building blocks by ordered proteins and IDPs. In fact, some residues (so-called disorder-promoting residues) are noticeably more common in IDPs than in sequences of ordered proteins, which, in their turn, are enriched in several order-promoting residues. Furthermore, residues can be arranged according to their “disorder promoting potencies,” which are evaluated based on the relative abundances of various amino acids in ordered and disordered proteins. This review continues a series of publications on the roles of different amino acids in defining the phenomenon of protein intrinsic disorder and concerns glutamic acid, which is the second most disorder-promoting residue. url: https://doi.org/10.4161/idp.24684 doi: 10.4161/idp.24684 id: cord-262868-wanbz1et author: Varki, Ajit title: Loss of N‐glycolylneuraminic acid in humans: Mechanisms, consequences, and implications for hominid evolution date: 2002-01-04 words: 10931 sentences: 514 pages: flesch: 47 cache: ./cache/cord-262868-wanbz1et.txt txt: ./txt/cord-262868-wanbz1et.txt summary: This review discusses one of the few known apehuman genetic differences with a clear-cut biochemical consequence, the selective inactivation of the CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid (CMP-Neu5Ac) hydroxylase gene in the human lineage Irie et al., 1998; Chou et al., 1998) . A microbial organism approaching a mammalian cell surface would likely first encounter members of a family of sugars called sialic acids, which tend to be the outermost units on the glycan chains attached to the proteins and lipids below (Fig. 1) . However, based on current knowledge of the functions of sialic acids (see above), one can propose some possible scenarios to explain the human loss of Neu5Gc. The most likely one is selection of a randomly occurring CMAH gene mutation by a lethal microbial pathogen that required cell-surface Neu5Gc for effective infection (see below for some examples of such current-day pathogens). abstract: The surface of all mammalian cells is covered with a dense and complex array of sugar chains, which are frequently terminated by members of a family of molecules called sialic acids. One particular sialic acid called N‐glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) is widely expressed on most mammalian tissues, but is not easily detectable on human cells. In fact, it provokes an immune response in adult humans. The human deficiency of Neu5Gc is explained by an inactivating mutation in the gene encoding CMP‐N‐acetylneuraminic acid hydroxylase, the rate‐limiting enzyme in generating Neu5Gc in cells of other mammals. This deficiency also results in an excess of the precursor sialic acid N‐acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) in humans. This mutation appears universal to modern humans, occurred sometime after our last common ancestor with the great apes, and happens to be one of the first known human‐great ape genetic differences with an obvious biochemical readout. While the original selection mechanisms and major biological consequences of this human‐specific mutation remain uncertain, several interesting clues are currently being pursued. First, there is evidence that the human condition can explain differences in susceptibility or resistance to certain microbial pathogens. Second, the functions of some endogenous receptors for sialic acids in the immune system may be altered by this difference. Third, despite the lack of any obvious alternate pathway for synthesis, Neu5Gc has been reported in human tumors and possibly in human fetal tissues, and traces have even been detected in normal human tissues. One possible explanation is that this represents accumulation of Neu5Gc from dietary sources of animal origin. Finally, a markedly reduced expression of hydroxylase in the brains of other mammals raises the possibility that the human‐specific mutation of this enzyme could have played a role in human brain evolution.

However, as discussed below, studies in other bacteria strongly suggest that host sialic acid catabolism has at least a minor role in pathogenesis in different species, and possibly a major role in colonization. coli, potential axe orthologs abound in GIT bacterial species (Tables 1 and 2) , suggesting that an ability to metabolize O-acetylated sialic acids is a common phenotype of bacteria living on or at a mucosal surface [89] . is �nding is consistent with a potentially important role of NanS in supporting the commensal lifestyle involving utilization of host-derived sialic acids other than Neu5Ac. For example, it is unclear why pneumococcal strains have distinct nan genetic organizations whereas all strains examined, like GBS, include one copy of nanA in their genomes ( Figure 6 ). abstract: Sialic acids are structurally diverse nine-carbon ketosugars found mostly in humans and other animals as the terminal units on carbohydrate chains linked to proteins or lipids. The sialic acids function in cell-cell and cell-molecule interactions necessary for organismic development and homeostasis. They not only pose a barrier to microorganisms inhabiting or invading an animal mucosal surface, but also present a source of potential carbon, nitrogen, and cell wall metabolites necessary for bacterial colonization, persistence, growth, and, occasionally, disease. The explosion of microbial genomic sequencing projects reveals remarkable diversity in bacterial sialic acid metabolic potential. How bacteria exploit host sialic acids includes a surprisingly complex array of metabolic and regulatory capabilities that is just now entering a mature research stage. This paper attempts to describe the variety of bacterial sialometabolic systems by focusing on recent advances at the molecular and host-microbe-interaction levels. The hope is that this focus will provide a framework for further research that holds promise for better understanding of the metabolic interplay between bacterial growth and the host environment. An ability to modify or block this interplay has already yielded important new insights into potentially new therapeutic approaches for modifying or blocking bacterial colonization or infection. url: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3658417/ doi: 10.1155/2013/816713 id: cord-259044-mubjm22l author: Weng, Jing-Ru title: Antiviral activity of Sambucus FormosanaNakai ethanol extract and related phenolic acid constituents against human coronavirus NL63 date: 2019-09-24 words: 5580 sentences: 304 pages: flesch: 51 cache: ./cache/cord-259044-mubjm22l.txt txt: ./txt/cord-259044-mubjm22l.txt summary: The study indicated the inhibitory activity of Sambucus FormosanaNakai extract and its phenolic acid constituents on HCoV-NL63 induced cytopathic effect, virus yield, and the early stage of HCoV-NL63 replication in concentration-dependent and cell-type independent manners. LLC-MK2 cells (3 × 10 4 cells/well) were cultured in the 96-well plates overnight, quintuplicate treated with Sambucus Formosana Nakai stem ethanol extract or its phenolic acid constituents (caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, coumaric acid, ferulic acid, and gallic acid) for 2 days, and then incubated with 0.5 mg/ml 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) for additional 4 h. For minimizing the antiviral effect of indicated agents in the cells, 100 μl (near 200 pfu HCoV-NL63) of the 10000-fold dilution from the mixtures of virus and the extract or phenolic acids was added to the MK2 cell monolayer in the 6-well plate to determining the residual viral infectivity using the plaque assay described above. To examine the antiviral mechanism of caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid against HCoV-NL63, the assays of plaque formation, virucidal activity and virus attachment were subsequently performed (Fig. 5 , Table 1 ). abstract: Human coronavirus NL63 (HCoV-NL63), one of the main circulating HCoVs worldwide, causes respiratory tract illnesses like runny nose, cough, bronchiolitis and pneumonia. Recently, a severe respiratory illness outbreak of HCoV-NL63 has been reported in a long-term care facility. Sambucus FormosanaNakai, a species of elderberry, is a traditional medicinal herb with anti-inflammatory and antiviral potential. The study investigated the antiviral activity of Sambucus FormosanaNakai stem ethanol extract and some phenolic acid constituents against HCoV-NL63. The extract was less cytotoxic and concentration-dependently increased anti-HCoV-NL63 activities, including cytopathicity, sub-G1 fraction, virus yield (IC50 = 1.17 μg/ml), plaque formation (IC50 = 4.67 μg/ml) and virus attachment (IC50 = 15.75 μg/ml). Among the phenolic acid constituents in Sambucus FormosanaNakai extract, caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid and gallic acid sustained the anti-HCoV-NL63 activity that was ranked in the following order of virus yield reduction: caffeic acid (IC(50) = 3.54 μM) > chlorogenic acid (IC(50) = 43.45 μM) > coumaric acid (IC(50) = 71.48 μM). Caffeic acid significantly inhibited the replication of HCoV-NL63 in a cell-type independent manner, and specifically blocked virus attachment (IC(50) = 8.1 μM). Therefore, the results revealed that Sambucus Formosana Nakai stem ethanol extract displayed the strong anti-HCoV-NL63 potential; caffeic acid could be the vital component with anti-HCoV-NL63 activity. The finding could be helpful for developing antivirals against HCoV-NL63. url: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0168170219304198 doi: 10.1016/j.virusres.2019.197767 id: cord-253695-tjdw2uta author: Winter, Christine title: Infection of the tracheal epithelium by infectious bronchitis virus is sialic acid dependent date: 2007-12-28 words: 3679 sentences: 208 pages: flesch: 52 cache: ./cache/cord-253695-tjdw2uta.txt txt: ./txt/cord-253695-tjdw2uta.txt summary: Avian Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is a coronavirus that infects chickens via the respiratory epithelium as primary target cells. Here we analyze the importance of the sialic acid binding activity for the infection of tracheal organ cultures (TOCs) by different IBV strains. Desialylation induced by neuraminidase treatment of tracheal organ cultures prior to infection by IBV delayed the ciliostatic effect or resulted in partial loss of ciliary activity. After having shown recently that sialic acid serves as a receptor determinant for IBV on cultured cells, we were interested to find out whether this type of sugar is also important for an infection in vivo. From this result we conclude that a2,3-linked sialic acid serves as a receptor determinant for the infection of avian tracheal epithelial cells by the Beaudette strain of IBV. Sialic acid is a receptor determinant for infection of cells by avian Infectious bronchitis virus abstract: Avian Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is a coronavirus that infects chickens via the respiratory epithelium as primary target cells. The binding of coronaviruses to the cell surface is mediated by the viral surface protein S. Recently we demonstrated that α2,3-linked sialic acid serves as a receptor determinant for IBV on Vero cells and primary chicken embryo kidney cells. Here we analyze the importance of the sialic acid binding activity for the infection of tracheal organ cultures (TOCs) by different IBV strains. Our results show that α2,3-linked sialic acid also serves as a receptor determinant on chicken TOCs. Infection of TOCs by IBV results in ciliostasis. Desialylation induced by neuraminidase treatment of tracheal organ cultures prior to infection by IBV delayed the ciliostatic effect or resulted in partial loss of ciliary activity. This effect was observed with both respiratory and nephropathogenic strains. Inhibition of ciliostasis was also observed when TOCs were pretreated with an α2,3-specific neuraminidase. Analysis of the tracheal epithelium for reactivity with lectins revealed that the susceptible cells in the epithelium abundantly express α2,3-linked sialic acid. These results indicate that α2,3-linked sialic acid plays an important role for infection of the respiratory epithelium by IBV. url: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18396435/ doi: 10.1016/j.micinf.2007.12.009 id: cord-262036-wig4wdno author: Xu, Qi title: Sialic acid involves in the interaction between ovomucin and hemagglutinin and influences the antiviral activity of ovomucin date: 2018-07-30 words: 5173 sentences: 285 pages: flesch: 54 cache: ./cache/cord-262036-wig4wdno.txt txt: ./txt/cord-262036-wig4wdno.txt summary: As shown in Fig. 1B , the terminal sialic acid was effectively removed in dSA-OVM after enzymatic hydrolysis, and its binding activity was obviously lower than that in the natural OVM. To analyze the role played by free sialic acid in the binding of OVM to HA, further experiments were carried out with different sequences of additions. Based on the above results, it was found that free sialic acid enhances the binding of OVM to influenza virus HA. It is indicating that sialic acid is involved in the binding of OVM to influenza virus, and additional free sialic acid could enhance the OVM antiviral process. The hemagglutinin of the influenza virus recognizes and binds to the ovomucin carbohydrate chain terminal sialic acid, and the interaction is greatly diminished after the sialic acid is removed. The addition of free sialic acid can promote the binding of ovomucin to hemagglutinin and enhance ovomucin anti-influenza virus activity. abstract: Ovomucin (OVM) plays an important role in inhibiting infection of various pathogens. However, this bioactivity mechanism is not much known. Here, the role of sialic acid in OVM anti-virus activity has been studied by ELISA with lectin or ligand. Structural changes of OVM after removing sialic acid were analyzed by circular dichroism and fluorescence spectroscopy. OVM could be binding to the hemagglutinin (HA) of avian influenza viruses H(5)N(1) and H(1)N(1), this binding was specific and required the involvement of sialic acid. When sialic acid was removed, the binding was significantly reduced 71.5% and 64.35%, respectively. Therefore, sialic acid was proved as a recognition site which avian influenza virus bound to. Meanwhile, the endogenous fluorescence and surface hydrophobicity of OVM removing sialic acid were increased and the secondary structure tended to shift to random coil. This indicated that OVM molecules were in an unfolded state and spatial conformation disorder raising weakly. Remarkably, free sialic acid strongly promoted OVM binding to HA and thereby enhanced the interaction. It may contribute to the inhibition of host cell infection, agglutinate viruses.

The results of the virucidal tests show that a complete reduction (≥ 4 log) could be achieved for all tested acetic acid concentrations (5, 7.5 and 10%) after 1 min contact time. The current study aimed to investigate the antimicrobial, antifungal and antiviral effects of acetic acid for domestic cleaning and laundering based on different standard procedures and comprehensive tests. Although there are many studies that have investigated the antibacterial and antifungal effects of acetic acid [15, [37] [38] [39] [40] [41] [42] there is no available data on how acetic acid does perform in standard procedures for the testing of disinfectants in suspension or on surfaces. abstract: BACKGROUND: Acetic acid has been used to clean and disinfect surfaces in the household for many decades. The antimicrobial efficacy of cleaning procedures can be considered particularly important for young, old, pregnant, immunocompromised people, but may also concern other groups, particularly with regards to the COVID-19 pandemics. This study aimed to show that acetic acid exhibit an antibacterial and antifungal activity when used for cleaning purposes and is able to destroy certain viruses. Furthermore, a disinfecting effect of laundry in a simulated washing cycle has been investigated. RESULTS: At a concentration of 10% and in presence of 1.5% citric acid, acetic acid showed a reduction of > 5-log steps according to the specifications of DIN EN 1040 and DIN EN 1275 for the following microorganisms: P. aeruginosa, E. coli, S. aureus, L. monocytogenes, K. pneumoniae, E. hirae and A. brasiliensis. For MRSA a logarithmic reduction of 3.19 was obtained. Tests on surfaces according to DIN EN 13697 showed a complete reduction (> 5-log steps) for P. aeruginosa, E. coli, S. aureus, E. hirae, A. brasiliensis and C. albicans at an acetic acid concentration of already 5%. Virucidal efficacy tests according to DIN EN 14476 and DIN EN 16777 showed a reduction of ≥4-log-steps against the Modified Vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA) for acetic acid concentrations of 5% or higher. The results suggest that acetic acid does not have a disinfecting effect on microorganisms in a dosage that is commonly used for cleaning. However, this can be achieved by increasing the concentration of acetic acid used, especially when combined with citric acid. CONCLUSIONS: Our results show a disinfecting effect of acetic acid in a concentration of 10% and in presence of 1.5% citric acid against a variety of microorganisms. A virucidal effect against enveloped viruses could also be proven. Furthermore, the results showed a considerable antimicrobial effect of acetic acid when used in domestic laundry procedures. url: https://doi.org/10.1186/s12866-020-01948-8 doi: 10.1186/s12866-020-01948-8 id: cord-004879-pgyzluwp author: nan title: Programmed cell death date: 1994 words: 81677 sentences: 4465 pages: flesch: 51 cache: ./cache/cord-004879-pgyzluwp.txt txt: ./txt/cord-004879-pgyzluwp.txt summary: Furthermore kinetic experiments after complementation of HIV=RT p66 with KIV-RT pSl indicated that HIV-RT pSl can restore rate and extent of strand displacement activity by HIV-RT p66 compared to the HIV-RT heterodimer D66/D51, suggesting a function of the 51 kDa polypeptide, The mouse mammary tumor virus proviral DNA contains an open reading frame in the 3'' long terminal repeat which can code for a 36 kDa polypeptide with a putative transmembrane sequence and five N-linked glycosylation sites. To this end we used constructs encoding the c-fos (and c-jun) genes fused to the hormone-binding domain of the human estrogen receptor, designated c-FosER (and c-JunER), We could show that short-term activation (30 mins.) of c-FosER by estradiole (E2) led to the disruption of epithelial cell polarity within 24 hours, as characterized by the expression of apical and basolateral marker proteins. abstract: nan url: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7087532/ doi: 10.1007/bf02033112 id: cord-004948-ad3i9wgj author: nan title: 7th International Congress on Amino Acids and Proteins : Vienna, Austria, August 6–10, 2001 date: 2001 words: 73534 sentences: 3588 pages: flesch: 45 cache: ./cache/cord-004948-ad3i9wgj.txt txt: ./txt/cord-004948-ad3i9wgj.txt summary: Specific CTL were derived by immunization of HHD mice with tumor peptide extracts loaded on antigen presenting cells and with HHD transfected human tumor cell lines CTL induced against peptides from various tumors recognized tumor peptides more effectively than peptides extracted from normal tissues and also reacted with a serie of peptides derived from overexpressed candidate proteins, identified by differential display methods (SAGE, Microarrays) Comparison of CTL derived from HHD mice to CTL induced from patient''s PBMC showed overlapping recognition of many candidate peptides. By comparison of pro-teomic cell maps from normal controls and individuals affected with lysosomal transport disorders we have selected and identified several candidate disease-causing proteins, which have to be further studied by mutation analysis and functional expression.

Ubiquitinium is a well known mechanism in protein degredation of Eukaryotic cells ,in which many obsolte and corrupted three dimentional structure protein ,become marked by covalent attachment of ubuquitin through a multi-step enzymatic pathway.Ubiquitin is a small ,8.5 kDa peptide of 76 amino acid residues that targets such substrtes for proteolysis in proteasome .Recnt studies showed that an extra cellular ubiquitination process also taking place in the epididymes of humans and other animals marks protein on the surface of the defective sperm .it appears that structurally and functionally defective sperm become surface ubiquitinated by epididymal epithelial cells. This head-to-tailcyclized 14-amino-acid peptide contains one disulfide bridge and a lysine residue (Lys5) present in the P1 position, which is responsible for inhibitor specificity.As was reported by us and other groups, SFTI-1 analogues with one cycle only retain trypsin inhibitory activity. abstract: nan url: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7167816/ doi: 10.1002/psc.797 id: cord-023209-un2ysc2v author: nan title: Poster Presentations date: 2008-10-07 words: 111878 sentences: 5398 pages: flesch: 45 cache: ./cache/cord-023209-un2ysc2v.txt txt: ./txt/cord-023209-un2ysc2v.txt summary: Site-specifi c PEGylation of human IgG1-Fab using a rationally designed trypsin variant In the present contribution we report on a novel, highly selective biocatalytic method enabling C-terminal modifi cations of proteins with artifi cial functionalities under native state conditions.

The cases when the amino acid sequence of a fragment coincided with part of the primary structure of a natural oligopeptide were recorded in the Total protein chemical synthesis requires a case by case design and optimization which is governed by factors such as the solubility of the individual peptide segments, their primary sequence and in particular the presence of "difficult" amino acid residues at ligation junctions such as proline or the location of cysteines. In this study we present synthesis of two series of peptide libraries, which were designed by substitution of Leu in the P5, P6 position of our control peptide (Ac-LLLLRVKR-AMBA) with each of nineteen amino acid residues in order to verifying its influence on activity and selectivity of the resulting analogues. abstract: No abstract is available for this article. url: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7167970/ doi: 10.1002/psc.2449 id: cord-023647-dlqs8ay9 author: nan title: Sequences and topology date: 2003-03-21 words: 4505 sentences: 747 pages: flesch: 69 cache: ./cache/cord-023647-dlqs8ay9.txt txt: ./txt/cord-023647-dlqs8ay9.txt summary: Nucleotide Sequence Analysis of the L G~ne of Vesicular Stomafltia Virus (New Jersey Serotype) --Identification of Conserved Domai~L~ in L Proteins of Nonsegmented Negative-Strand RNA Viruses DERSE I~ Equine Infectious Anemia Virus tat--Insights into the Structure, Function, and Evolution of Lentivtrus tran.~Activator Proteins Ho~tu~ ~ s71 is a Ehylngcueticellly Distinct Human Endogenous Reteovtgal 1Rlement with Structural mad Sequence Homology to Simian Sarcoma Virus (SSV).

Investigation of the antifungal activity, in contrast, showed that the carboxyl group is unnecessary for the effect against the dermatophytes Trichophyton rubrum and Cryptococcus neoformans, indicated by low micromolar IC(50) values for both (−)-polyalthic acid diethylamide (1a) as well as (−)-polyalthic acid methyl ester (1b). In our previous study, we reported strong inhibitory effects against the two clinically relevant bacterial strains methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Enterococcus faecium for three diterpene acids, of which one was kaurenoic acid (2) (Pfeifer Barbosa et al. In the same study, antidermatophytic activity against two Trichopyhton species was detected for (−)-polyalthic acid (1), the major diterpenoid in the Copaifera reticulata oleoresin, along with weak [(−)-polyalthic acid, 1] to moderate (kaurenoic acid, 2) cytotoxic effects against six cancer cell lines. abstract: The oleoresin of Copaifera reticulata Ducke, Fabaceae, is a traditional Brazilian remedy used for a wide range of applications. Commonly named copaiba, the oleoresin has been found to exhibit strong antimicrobial effects in our previous study, which could be attributed to some of its diterpenoid constituents. In order to find new biological activities and to eventually enhance the before observed effects, (−)-polyalthic acid (1) and kaurenoic acid (2), together with eight prepared semi-synthetic derivatives (1a–1c and 2a–2e) were evaluated for their cytotoxic, antibacterial and antifungal properties. Regarding the gram-positive bacteria Enterococcus faecium and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, we found that both the exocylic methylene group and the carboxyl group were crucial for the activity against these two clinically relevant bacterial strains. Investigation of the antifungal activity, in contrast, showed that the carboxyl group is unnecessary for the effect against the dermatophytes Trichophyton rubrum and Cryptococcus neoformans, indicated by low micromolar IC(50) values for both (−)-polyalthic acid diethylamide (1a) as well as (−)-polyalthic acid methyl ester (1b). Apart from studying the biological activity, the structure of one semi-synthetic derivative, compound 1c, is being reported for the first time. During the course of the structure elucidation of the new compound, we discovered inconsistencies regarding the stereochemistry of polyalthic acid and its stereoisomers, which we clarified in the present work.
