Biogenic amine tryptamine in human vaginal probiotic isolates mediates matrix inhibition and thwarts uropathogenic E. coli biofilm. Sci Rep 2024; 14:15387.

Abstract
Probiotics offer a promising prophylactic approach against various pathogens and represent an alternative strategy to combat biofilm-related infections. In this study, we isolated vaginal commensal microbiota from 54 healthy Indian women to investigate their probiotic traits. We primarily explored the ability of cell-free supernatant (CFS) from Lactobacilli to prevent Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) colonization and biofilm formation. Our findings revealed that CFS effectively reduced UPEC's swimming and swarming motility, decreased cell surface hydrophobicity, and hindered matrix production by downregulating specific genes (fimA, fimH, papG, and csgA). Subsequent GC-MS analysis identified Tryptamine, a monoamine compound, as the potent bioactive substance from Lactobacilli CFS, inhibiting UPEC biofilms with an MBIC of 4 µg/ml and an MBEC of 8 µg/ml. Tryptamine induced significant changes in E. coli colony biofilm morphology, transitioning from the Red, Dry, and Rough (RDAR) to the Smooth and White phenotype, indicating reduced extracellular matrix production. Biofilm time-kill assays demonstrated a four-log reduction in UPEC viability when treated with Tryptamine, highlighting its potent antibacterial properties, comparable to CFS treatment. Biofilm ROS assays indicated a significant elevation in ROS generation within UPEC biofilms, suggesting a potential antibacterial mechanism. Gene expression studies with Tryptamine-treated samples showed a reduction in expression of curli gene (csgA), consistent with CFS treatment. This study underscores the potential of Tryptamine from probiotic Lactobacilli CFS as a promising antibiofilm agent against UPEC biofilms.

Chen M, Gao M, Wang H, Chen Q, Liu X, Mo Q, Huang X, Ye X, Zhang D. Jingangteng capsules ameliorate liver lipid disorders in diabetic rats by regulating microflora imbalances, metabolic disorders, and farnesoid X receptor. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 132:155806. [PMID: 38876009 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2024.155806] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2023] [Revised: 05/30/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/16/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The plant Smilax china L., also known as Jingangteng, is suspected of regulating glucose and lipid metabolism. Jingangteng capsules (JGTCs) are commonly used to treat gynecological inflammation in clinical practice. However, it is not clear whether JGTCs can regulate glucose and lipid metabolism, and the mechanism is unclear. PURPOSE To investigate the impact and mechanism of action of JGTCs on diabetes and liver lipid disorders in rats. METHODS The chemical constituents of JGTCs were examined using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. A high-fat diet and streptozotocin-induced diabetes model was used to evaluate anti-diabetic effects by assessing blood glucose and lipid levels and liver function. The mechanism was explored using fecal 16S rRNA gene sequencing and metabolomics profiling, reverse transcription-quantiative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), and Western blot analysis. RESULTS Thirty-three components were identified in JGTCs. The serological and histomorphological assays revealed that JGTC treatment reduced levels of blood glucose and lipids, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and lipid accumulation in the liver of diabetic rats. According to 16S rDNA sequencing, JGTCs improved species richness and diversity in diabetic rats' intestinal flora and restored 22 dysregulated bacteria to control levels. Fecal metabolomics analysis showed that the altered fecal metabolites were rich in metabolites, such as histidine, taurine, low taurine, tryptophan, glycerophospholipid, and arginine. Serum metabolomics analysis indicated that serum metabolites were enriched in the metabolism of glycerophospholipids, fructose and mannose, galactose, linoleic acid, sphingolipids, histidine, valine, leucine and isoleucine biosynthesis, and tryptophan metabolism. Heatmaps revealed a strong correlation between metabolic parameters and gut microbial phylotypes. Molecular biology assays showed that JGTC treatment reversed the decreased expression of farnesoid X receptor (FXR) in the liver of diabetic rats and inhibited the expression of lipogenic genes (Srebp1c and FAS) as well as inflammation-related genes (interleukin (IL)-β, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and IL-6). Liver metabolomics analysis indicated that JGTC could significantly regulate a significant number of bile acid metabolites associated with FXR, such as glyco-beta-muricholic acid, glycocholic acid, tauro-beta-muricholic acid, and tauro-gamma-muricholic acid. CONCLUSIONS This was the first study to investigate the mechanisms of JGTCs' effects on liver lipid disorders in diabetic rats. JGTCs inhibited liver lipid accumulation and inflammatory responses in diabetic rats by affecting intestinal flora and metabolic disorders and regulating FXR-fat synthesis-related pathways to alleviate diabetic lipid disorders.

Abstract
Ruthenium (Ru)-based organometallic drugs have gained attention as chemotherapeutic and bioimaging agents due to their fewer side effects and excellent physical optical properties. Tuning the electronic structures of Ru complexes has been proven to increase the cytotoxicity of cancer cells and the luminescent efficiency of the analytical probes. However, the relationship between electronic structures and bioactivities is still unclear due to the potential enhancement of both electron donor and acceptor properties. Thus, we investigated the relationship between the electronic structures of Ru(II) complexes and cytotoxicity by optimizing the electron-withdrawing (complex 1), electron-neutral (complex 2), and electron-donating (complex 3) ligands through DFT calculations, bioactivities tests, and docking studies. Our results indicated that it was not sufficient to consider only either the effect of electron-withdrawing or electron-donating effects on biological activities instead of the total electronic effects. Furthermore, these complexes with electron-donating substituents (complex 3) featured unique "off-on" luminescent emission phenomena caused by the various "HOMO-LUMO" distributions when they interacted with DNA, while complex with electron-withdrawing substituent showed an "always-on" signature. These findings offer valuable insight into the development of bifunctional chemotherapeutic agents along with bioimaging ability.

Untargeted Metabolomics Profiling of Bioactive Compounds under Varying Digestate Storage Conditions: Assessment of Antioxidant and Antifungal Activity. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19084923.

Abstract
The rapid development of biogas plants in China has generated large quantities of digestate. The disparity between the continuity of biogas plant operation and the seasonality of digestate utilization has led to the need to store digestate. Therefore, untargeted profiling of bioactive compounds in the digestate stored under aerobic and anaerobic conditions was performed. The antioxidant and antifungal activity of digestate stored under varying conditions was likewise assessed. The results delineated that digestate storage under varying conditions brought about the degradation of organic acids, alkenes, aldehydes, alcohols, ketones, ethers, amino acids and their derivatives, and esters, leading to the stabilization of digestate components. Together, these new data revealed that digestate storage for up to 20 days under aerobic conditions promotes glycine, serine, and threonine degradation pathways and enhances biotin and vitamins production. In contrast, anaerobic storage enhances the taurine and hypotaurine metabolic pathways and increases the derivation of antimicrobial substances, such as indole alkaloids. Moreover, digestate storage under anaerobic conditions promotes antioxidant and antifungal activity more than storage under aerobic conditions. These findings can contribute to the future development of high-value agricultural products from digestate and the sustainability of biogas plants. Further studies are required for the untargeted metabolomic of digestate under storage to explore the underlying mechanisms of promoting disease resistance by the digestate upon land application.

Abstract
We employed a comprehensive approach of target-based virtual high-throughput screening to find potential hits from the ZINC database of natural compounds against cysteine proteases falcipain-2 and falcipain-3 (FP2 and FP3). Molecular docking studies showed the initial hits showing high binding affinity and specificity toward FP2 were selected. Furthermore, the enzyme inhibition and surface plasmon resonance assays were performed which resulted in a compound ZINC12900664 (ST72) with potent inhibitory effects on purified FP2. ST72 exhibited strong growth inhibition of chloroquine-sensitive (3D7; EC50 = 2.8 µM) and chloroquine-resistant (RKL-9; EC50 = 6.7 µM) strains of Plasmodium falciparum. Stage-specific inhibition assays revealed a delayed and growth defect during parasite growth and development in parasites treated with ST72. Furthermore, ST72 significantly reduced parasite load and increased host survival in a murine model infected with Plasmodium berghei ANKA. No Evans blue staining in ST72 treatment indicated that ST72 mediated protection of blood–brain barrier integrity in mice infected with P. berghei. ST72 did not show any significant hemolysis or cytotoxicity against human HepG2 cells suggesting a good safety profile. Importantly, ST72 with CQ resulted in improved growth inhibitory activity than individual drugs in both in vitro and in vivo studies.

Abstract
Coordination compounds from simple transition metals are robust substitutes for platinum-based complexes due to their remarkable anticancer properties. In a quest to find new metal complexes that could substitute or augment the platinum based chemotherapy we synthesized three transition metal complexes C1-C3 with Cu(ii), Ni(ii), and Co(ii) as the central metal ions, respectively, and evaluated them for their anticancer activity against the human keratinocyte (HaCaT) cell line and human cervical cancer (HeLa) cell lines. These complexes showed different activity profiles with the square planar copper complex C1 being the most active with IC50 values lower than those of the widely used anticancer drug cisplatin. Assessment of the morphological changes by DAPI staining and ROS generation by DCFH-DA assay exposed that the cell death occurred by caspase-3 mediated apoptosis. C1 displayed interesting interactions with Ct-DNA, evidenced by absorption spectroscopy and validated by docking studies. Together, our results suggest that binding of the ligand to the DNA-binding domain of the p53 tumor suppressor (p53DBD) protein and the induction of the apoptotic hallmark protein, caspase-3, upon treatment with the metal complex could be positively attributed to a higher level of ROS and the subsequent DNA damage (oxidation), generated by the complex C1, that could well explain the interesting anticancer activity observed for this complex.

Abstract
Lung cancer is one of the most common malignancies with the highest mortality rate and the second-highest incidence rate after breast cancer, posing a serious threat to human health. The accidental discovery of the antitumor properties of cisplatin in the early 1960s aroused a growing interest in metal-based compounds for cancer treatment. However, the clinical application of cisplatin is limited by serious side effects and drug resistance. Therefore, other transition metal complexes have been developed for the treatment of different malignant cancers. Among them, Ru(II/III)-based complexes have emerged as promising anticancer drug candidates due to their potential anticancer properties and selective cytotoxic activity. In this review, we summarized the latest developments of Ru(II/III) complexes against lung cancer, focusing mainly on the mechanisms of their biological activities, including induction of apoptosis, necroptosis, autophagy, cell cycle arrest, inhibition of cell proliferation, and invasion and metastasis of lung cancer cells.

Abstract
The antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an intractable problem for the world. Metal ions are essential for the cell process and biological function in microorganisms. Many metal-based complexes with the potential for releasing ions are more likely to be absorbed for their higher lipid solubility. Hence, this review highlights the clinical potential of organometallic compounds for the treatment of infections caused by bacteria or fungi in recent five years. The common scaffolds, including antimicrobial peptides, N-heterocyclic carbenes, Schiff bases, photosensitive-grand-cycle skeleton structures, aliphatic amines-based ligands, and special metal-based complexes are summarized here. We also discuss their therapeutic targets and the risks that should be paid attention to in the future studies, aiming to provide information for researchers on metal-based complexes as antimicrobial agents and inspire the design and synthesis of new antimicrobial drugs.

Abstract
Development of new chemotherapeutic agents to treat multidrug-resistant fungal infections to augment the current treatment options is a must. In this direction, a series of mixed ligand complexes was synthesized from a Schiff base (L) obtained by the condensation of 2-hydroxynapthaldehyde and tryptamine, and 1,10-phenanthroline (1,10-phen) as a secondary ligand. Based on spectral characterization and physical measurements an octahedral geometry was assigned to [Co(phen)LClH2O] (C2), [Ni(phen)LClH2O](C3), and [Zn(phen)LClH2O](C4) complexes while a distorted octahedral geometry was assigned to the [Cu(phen)LClH2O](C1) complex. All the synthesized compounds were tested for antifungal activity against 11 Candida albicans isolates, including fluconazole (FLC) resistant isolates, by determining minimum inhibitory concentrations and studying growth curves. MIC results suggest that all the newly synthesized compounds have potent antifungal activity at varying levels. The rapid action of these compounds on fungal cells suggested a membrane-located target for their action. Mixed ligand complexes containing a pendent indole showed significant proton pump ATPase targeted antifungal activity.![]()
