Abstract
Hyperuricemia (HUA) is the fourth most common basic metabolic disease that can cause damage to multiple organs throughout the body. In this study, a hybrid compound consisting of myricetin and nobiletin was synthesized and its biological activity was evaluated. We named the hybrid compound MNH, and its structure was confirmed by spectroscopy. This study used serum metabolomics profiling with LC/MS and 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis to explore the anti-HUA efficacy of MNH on a yeast paste-induced mouse model. The results showed that serum uric acid (UA), creatinine (CRE) and urea nitrogen (BUN) levels were significantly decreased after the intervention of MNH. The efficacy of MNH in lowering UA was somewhat greater than that of myricetin and nobiletin. In addition, MNH could repair the renal histopathological damage. Moreover, serum metabolomics demonstrated that MNH regulated the metabolic pathways involved in glycerophospholipid metabolism, arachidonic acid metabolism and alanine etc. Furthermore, MNH supplementation restored the composition of gut microbiota with remarkable reductions in Lactobacillus and Limosilactobacillus and significant elevations in norank_f_Muribaculaceae and Bacteroides at the genus level. Taken together, these results indicated that MNH might represent a protective effect against HUA via modulating gut microbiota and metabolomics.

Abstract
Geraniol, a monoterpene, and furan are structural motifs that exhibit antifouling activity. In this study, monoterpene-furan hybrid molecules with potentially enhanced antifouling activity were designed and synthesized. The nine synthetic hybrids showed antifouling activity against the cypris larvae of the barnacle Balanus (Amphibalanus) amphitrite with EC50 values of 1.65-4.70 μg mL-1. This activity is higher than that of geraniol and the reference furan compound. This hybridization approach to increase antifouling activity is useful and can also be extended to other active structural units.

Abstract
Six flavonoid derivatives were synthesized and tested for anti-α-glucosidase activities. All derivatives were confirmed using NMR and HRMS and exhibited excellent inhibitory effects on α-glucosidase. Derivative four exhibited the highest anti-α-glucosidase activity (IC50: 15.71 ± 0.21 μM). Structure-activity relationship results showed that bromine group would be the most beneficial group to anti-α-glucosidase activity. Inhibitory mechnism and inhibition kinetics results showed derivative four was a reversible and mixed-type inhibitor. Molecular docking revealed that derivative four was tightly bind to the amino acid residues of active pocket of α-glucosidase and formed hydrogen bond, π-π stacking, and Pi-Donor hydrogen with α-glucosidase. Moreover, the physicochemical parameters of all derivatives were assessed using SwissADME software. This results also showed that the hybridization of flavonoid and phenylpropionic acid would be a useful strategy for the development of α-glucosidase inhibitors.

Abstract
In this study, twenty novel cinnamic acid magnolol derivatives were synthesized, and screened for their anti-hyperglycemic potential. All synthesized compounds exhibited good to moderate α-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibitory activities with IC50 values: 5.11 ± 1.46-90.26 ± 1.85 µM and 4.27 ± 1.51-49.28 ± 2.54 µM as compared to the standard acarbose (IC50: 255.44 ± 1.89 μM and 80.33 ± 2.95 μM, respectively). Compound 6j showed the strongest inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase (IC50 = 5.11 ± 1.46 µM) and α-amylase (IC50 = 4.27 ± 1.51 µM). Kinetic study indicated that compound 6j was reversible and a mixed type inhibitor against α-glucosidase and α-amylase. In silico studies revealed the binding interaction between 6j and two enzymes, respectively. Finally, cells cytotoxicity assay revealed that compound 6j showed low toxicity against 3 T3-L1 cells and HepG2 cells.

Abstract
In the last few decades, traditional natural products have been the center of attention for the scientific community and exploration of their therapeutic abilities is proceeding perpetually. Berberine, with remarkable therapeutic diversity, is a plant derived isoquinoline alkaloid which is widely used as a traditional medicine in China. Berberine has been tackled as a fascinating pharmacophore to make great contributions to the discovery and development of new therapeutic agents against variegated diseases. Despite its tremendous therapeutic potential, clinical utility of this alkaloid was significantly compromised due to undesirable pharmacokinetic properties. To overcome this limitation, several structural modifications were performed on this scaffold to improve its therapeutic efficacy. The collective efforts of the community have achieved the tremendous advancements, bringing berberine to clinical use and discovering new therapeutic opportunities by structural modifications on the berberine scaffold. In this review, recent advancements in the medicinal chemistry of berberine and its derivatives in the last few years (2016-2020) have been compiled to represent inclusive data associated with various biological activities of this alkaloid. The comprehensive structure-activity relationship studies along with molecular modelling and mechanistic studies have also been summarized. This article would be highly helpful for the scientific community to get better insight into medicinal research of berberine and become a compelling guide for the rational design of berberine based compounds.

Abstract
Structural modification of active natural compoundswhichwereoriginated fromTraditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) have showedgreat advantagesin thedevelopmentof new drugs. In TCM, "Huangqin-Huanglian" is a classic "medicine couple"thathas been used to treat intestinal diseases for thousands ofyears, while baicalinand berberine are the major active compoundsof Huangqin and Huanglianrespectively. Based onthis"medicine couple",wedesignedand synthesizeda newbaicalin and berberine hybrid compound (BBH).Its molecular structure wasconfirmedby spectroscopy.The antibacterial activity of BBH was detected in vitro.Results indicatedthat the new hybrid compound exhibited the best antibacterial activity forproteobacteria as compared with its original synthetic materials (baicalin andberberine). In vivo, the effect of BBHon ulcerative colitiswas alsoinvestigated.BBH treatment significantly ameliorated the disease symptoms andpreventedthe colon damage of ulcerative colitis. Furthermore, BBH showed asignificant anti-inflammatory effect through regulating activities of SOD, MPOandexpressions of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6) in colontissue. Data also suggested that BBH was more superior than baicalin and berberine inameliorating colonic damage. This indicated that the new hybrid compound BBHshowed enhanced efficacy in treating ulcerative colitis.

Abstract
Benzylpenicilloic acid (BPNLA) is a major cleavage product of benzylpenicillin G (BP) generated after heating treatment. It is found in animal derived products from the unstable residual penicillin. Previous studies have only reported the allergic reaction caused by BPNLA, but not described its toxicity. In this study, the toxicity of BPNLA was evaluated to report the potential public health risk posed by animal derived products using in vivo and in vitro models, including the acute toxicity assays, cytotoxicity assays, apoptosis assays and cell cycle progression assay. The LD50 value for BPNLA was 8.48 g/kg [bw] intraperitoneally. BPNLA showed cytotoxicity and inhibition of cell proliferation on SK-N-SH cells, MRC-5 cells and GC-1 cells. Further, Annexin-v/PI staining and Hoechst 33342 staining showed increased cell apoptosis and nucleus morphological changes with toxic levels of BPNLA. BPNLA arrested cells in G1 phase and reduced cells population in S phase in a dose-dependent manner. This work suggests that BPNLA might be a potential toxic agent and might have public health significance. However, the toxic concentrations of BPNLA are relatively high compared to levels that would result from the degradation of antibiotics residues in meat from animals that have received a therapeutic dose of benzylpenicillin.
