    Abstract Exoasota pursatensis Ko Bae, gen. nov. sp. nov. (Lepidoptera: Pyraloidea: Crambidae) is described from Indochina (Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar). The new genus Exoasota is assigned to Spilomelinae on the basis of the morphological evidence, including the tympanal organs and genitalia. In addition, we provide comparisons with genera Epiparbattia Caradja (Crambidae, Pyraustinae) and Asota Hübner (Erebidae, Aganainae). Illustrations of adults, genitalia, and tympanal characters are provided.

    Abstract Since the outbreak of COVID-19, this virus has been constantly mutating. The latest mutant Omicron has been identified as VOC by WHO. The main reason for its concern is the mutation of 46 amino acids in spike protein, which has brought the global epidemic prevention into another difficulty. Herbal aromatic plant Amomum tsao-ko was excavated from formula 1 and 2 for the treatment of COVID-19 in China, and its active components were extracted and identified. Molecular dynamics simulation and Fpocket were applied to find the key sites on RBDOmicron, and molecular docking was also used to reveal the interaction between A. tsao-ko essential oil (AEO) and RBDOmicron. The AEO components were analyzed and identified by GC/Q-TOF MS. There were 20 kinds of AEO with a relative area percentage of more than 1%, and they were related to the three active centres of RBDOmicron. In this study, virtual screening was used to mine the essential oil components of medicinal plants, and it was found that the components could interact with the spike protein RBD in aerosol to block the interaction of RBD and hACE2, thus cutting off the transmission route and protecting the host. This study has certain guiding significance in the modernization of Traditional Chinese medicine and the prevention of COVID-19.

    Abstract Amomum tsao-ko is an important crop widely cultivated in China, whose dried fruits are popularly consumed as foods and medicines. In this study, the EtOH extract of the fruits of A. tsao-ko was first revealed with PTP1B selective inhibition. Under the guidance of bioassay, eight rare flavanol-menthane conjugates, amomutsaokins A–H (1-8), together with ten known phenolics (9-18), were isolated from A. tsao-ko. Their structures including absolute configurations were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic data (1D and 2D NMR, HRESIMS, IR and UV) and ECD calculations. Their antidiabetic potency against three diabetes-related proteins (PTP1B, TCPTP, and α-glucosidase) was evaluated, of which compounds 2, 3, 6, 14, and 16 exhibited PTP1B selective inhibition with IC₅₀ values of 201.45–317.51 μM, and compounds 1-3, 5-8, 10, and 16-18 displayed α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with IC₅₀ values ranging from 3.73 to 76.23 μM. Compounds 1 and 6 were demonstrated to be α-glucosidase mixed-type inhibitors with Kᵢ values of 36.2 and 24.4 μM, respectively. Molecular docking suggested that compounds 1 and 6 were well located into the active site of α-glucosidase by interacting with W1355, W1369, K1460, F1559, H1584, and D1279 residues. This study enlightens the therapeutic potential of A. tsao-ko for the treatment of diabetes, as well as searching for new antidiabetic candidates from natural sources.

    Abstract Decellularized biologic scaffolds are gaining popularity over synthetic biomaterials as naturally derived materials capable of promoting improved healing. Nevertheless, the most widely used biologic material - acellular dermal matrix (ADM) - exhibits slow repopulation and remodeling, which prevents integration. Additionally, engineering control of these materials is limited because they require a natural source for their production. In the current report, we demonstrate the feasibility of using genetically engineered animals to create decellularized biologic scaffolds with favorable extracellular matrix (ECM) properties. Specifically, we utilized skin from thrombospondin (TSP)-2 KO mice to derive various decellularized products. Scanning electron microscopy and mechanical testing showed that TSP-2 KO ADM exhibited an altered structure and a reduction in elastic modulus and ultimate tensile strength, respectively. When a powdered form of KO ADM was implanted subcutaneously, it was able to promote enhanced vascularization over WT. Additionally, when implanted subcutaneously, intact slabs of KO ADM were populated by higher number of host cells when compared to WT. In vitro studies confirmed the promigratory properties of KO ADM. Specifically, degradation products released by pepsin digestion of KO ADM induced greater cell migration than WT. Moreover, cell-derived ECM from TSP-2 null fibroblasts was more permissive to fibroblast migration. Finally, ADMs were implanted in a diabetic wound model to examine their ability to accelerate wound healing. KO ADM exhibited enhanced remodeling and vascular maturation, indicative of efficient integration. Overall, we demonstrate that genetic manipulation enables engineered ECM-based materials with increased regenerative potential.

    Abstract Eleven undescribed diarylheptanoids, amomutsaokols A‒K (1–11), together with 13 known ones (13–24), were isolated from the active fraction of the fruits of Amomum tsao-ko. The structures of the undescribed compounds were determined by extensive 1D and 2D NMR, HRESIMS and ECD calculations. Compounds 3–5, 7, 8, 12, 14 and 19 showed obviously α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with IC₅₀ values ranging from 12.9 to 48.8 μM. An enzyme kinetic analysis indicated that compounds 8 and 9 were α-glucosidase noncompetitive inhibitors with Kᵢ values of 18.5 and 213.0 μM, respectively. This study supported diarylheptanoids as the active constituents of A. tsao-ko with α-glucosidase inhibitory effects.

    Abstract The dried fruits of Amomum tsao-ko were first revealed to have hypoglycemic effects on db/db mice at a concentration of 200 mg/kg. In order to clarify the antidiabetic constituents, 19 new flavanol–fatty alcohol hybrids, tsaokoflavanols A–S (1–19), were isolated and determined by extensive spectroscopic data and ECD calculations. Most of the compounds showed α-glucosidase and PTP1B dual inhibition, among which 1, 2, 6, 11, and 18 exhibited obvious activity against α-glucosidase with IC₅₀ values of 5.2–9.0 μM, 20–35 times stronger than that of acarbose (IC₅₀, 180.0 μM); meanwhile, 6, 10–12, and 19 were PTP1B/TCPTP-selective inhibitors with IC₅₀ values of 56.4–80.4 μM, 2–4 times stronger than that of suramin sodium (IC₅₀, 200.5 μM). Enzyme kinetics study indicated that compounds 1, 2, 6, and 11 were α-glucosidase and PTP1B mixed-type inhibitors with Kᵢ values of 13.0, 11.7, 2.9, and 5.3 μM and 142.3, 88.9, 39.2, and 40.8 μM, respectively. Docking simulations proved the importance of hemiacetal hydroxy, the orientation of 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl, and the length of alkyl in binding with α-glucosidase and PTP1B.
