    Abstract Natural products are well recognized as an important source of lead compounds in drug development. During the past >30 years, we have discovered >1000 novel bioactive natural products from Okinawan marine organisms (sponges, tunicates, cone shells, etc.) and microorganisms (fungi, bacteria, dinoflagellates, etc.). Some of them are used as bioprobes useful for basic studies of life sciences, while others are expected to be candidates of drug leads.

    Abstract Aims: Chronic psychological stress aggravates lower urinary tract symptoms. Among others, water avoidance stress is a chronic psychological stressor that plays a causal role in the exacerbation and development of bladder dysfunction in rats. In this report, the effects of KPR-5714, which is a selective transient receptor potential melastatin 8 (TRPM8) antagonist, on bladder overactivity induced by water avoidance stress were examined.
    Methods: Male rats were subjected to water avoidance stress for 2 h per day for 10 consecutive days. The effects of water avoidance stress on voiding behavior using metabolic cages and histological bladder changes were investigated in rats. The involvement of bladder C-fiber afferent on voiding frequency in rats exposed to water avoidance stress was assessed using capsaicin. The effects of KPR-5714 on storage dysfunction in rats subjected to water avoidance stress were examined.
    Results: In voiding behavior measurements, water avoidance stress-induced storage dysfunction, causing a decrease in the mean voided volume and increasing voiding frequency. A comparison of bladders from normal rats and rats exposed to water avoidance stress showed no histological differences. Water avoidance stress-induced bladder overactivity was completely inhibited by pretreatment with capsaicin. KPR-5714 showed a tendency to increase the mean voided volume and significantly decreased the voiding frequency without affecting the total voided volume in these rats.
    Conclusion: The results suggest that KPR-5714 is a promising option for treating chronic psychological stress-induced bladder overactivity.

    Abstract The manzamine alkaloids are absolutely one of the most fascinating marine natural products. The representative manzamine alkaloids, manzamines A-C, were isolated from a marine sponge Haliclona sp. collected off Cape Manzamo, Okinawa, Japan. The manzamine alkaloids are a unique class of alkaloids possessing a characteristic heterocyclic system, and exhibit a diverse range of bioactivities including cytotoxicity, antimicrobial activity, antimalarial activity, antiviral and antiinflammatory activities, antiinsecticidal activity, and proteasome inhibitory activity. About 100 manzamine alkaloids have been isolated from more than 16 species of marine sponges belonging to 5 families. The unusual ring systems, an intriguing suggested biogenetic pathway, and promising biological activities of manzamine alkaloids have attracted great interest as challenging targets for the total synthesis. This review is the continuation of the previous review published in volume 60 of The Alkaloids and covers isolation, structure elucidation, biosynthesis and biogenesis, chemical synthesis, and biological activity of manzamine alkaloids reported from 2003 to 2018.

    Abstract Two new bromotyrosine alkaloids, ma'edamines E (1) and F (2), were isolated from an Okinawan marine sponge Suberea sp., and their structures were elucidated by the analyses of spectroscopic (UV, IR, and NMR) and spectrometric (MS) data. Ma'edamines E (1) and F (2) are the second and third examples of natural products possessing an N-alkyl-3,5-diethyl-2-propylpyridinium moiety. Ma'edamine F (2) is the first bromotyrosine alkaloid having both pyridinium and quaternary ammonium moieties. Ma'edamines E (1) and F (2) showed moderate cytotoxicity against L1210 murine leukemia cells in vitro.

    Abstract Life most likely started during the Hadean Eon; however, the environmental conditions which contributed to the complexity of its chemistry are poorly known. A better understanding of various environmental conditions, including global (heliospheric) and local (atmospheric, surface, and oceanic), along with the internal dynamic conditions of the early Earth, are required to understand the onset of abiogenesis. Herein, we examine the contributions of galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) and solar energetic particles (SEPs) associated with superflares from the young Sun to the formation of amino acids and carboxylic acids in weakly reduced gas mixtures representing the early Earth's atmosphere. We also compare the products with those introduced by lightning events and solar ultraviolet light (UV). In a series of laboratory experiments, we detected and characterized the formation of amino acids and carboxylic acids via proton irradiation of a mixture of carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen, and water in various mixing ratios. These experiments show the detection of amino acids after acid hydrolysis when 0.5% (

    Abstract Cholesterol plays an important role in cancer progression, as it is utilized in membrane biogenesis and cell signaling. Cholesterol-lowering drugs have exhibited tumor-suppressive effects in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), suggesting that cholesterol is also essential in OSCC pathogenesis. However, the direct effects of cholesterol on OSCC cells remain unclear. Here, we investigated the role of cholesterol in OSCC with respect to caveolin-1 (CAV1), a cholesterol-binding protein involved in intracellular cholesterol transport. Cholesterol levels in OSCC cell lines were depleted using methyl-β-cyclodextrin and increased using the methyl-β-cyclodextrin-cholesterol complex. Functional analysis was performed using timelapse imaging, and CAV1 expression in cholesterol-manipulated cells was investigated using immunofluorescence and immunoblotting assays. CAV1 immunohistochemistry was performed on surgical OSCC samples. We observed that cholesterol addition induced polarized cell morphology, along with CAV1 localization at the trailing edge, and promoted cell migration. Moreover, CAV1 was upregulated in the lipid rafts and formed aggregates in the plasma membrane in cholesterol-added cells. High membranous CAV1 expression in tissue specimens was associated with OSCC recurrence. Therefore, cholesterol promotes the migration of OSCC cells by regulating cell polarity and CAV1 localization to the lipid raft. Furthermore, membranous CAV1 expression is a potential prognostic marker for OSCC patients.
