    Abstract Zinfandel grapes are ubiquitous in California and its wine quality could be negatively impacted from wildfire smoke. Thus, the occurrence of fires prior to grape harvest presents a persistent problem to both viticulture and enology processes. This is the first broad study on Zinfandel to investigate wine quality defects produced by natural wildfires. The project, guided by UHPLC separations and MS² multiple reaction monitoring, involved measuring natural product phenolic diglycosides (PDs) bioaccumulated in grapes, and expands outcomes published in 2022 by our team (called the Santa Cruz Campaign, SCC). The plan was implemented by exploiting a panel of six marker PDs 1–6 and their deuterated analogues. Examined in the study were 24 different Zinfandel wines obtained from 2016 to 2021 vintages of nine different American Viticulture Areas (AVAs) that were also within five of the eight California Zinfandel viticulture zones. The goal was to extend understanding on PD variations using patterns that possibly change as a function of appellation and fire intensity. Preliminary data was obtained to examine the relative amounts of PDs localized in berry skin versus pulp. The baseline of <15 ppb was proposed by surveying 18 distinct unsmoked Zinfandel wines. It was proposed to estimate the smoke impact on other Zinfandel wines by using seven PD ppb concentrations categories. A pilot study was also launched to assess conclusions by comparing ppb-based ratings versus sensory evaluation quality estimates. General findings presented herein should provide an important foundation to build understanding of using PD patterns to forecast possible Zinfandel wine wildfire damage.

    Abstract Microtubule-stabilizing agents (MSAs) are a class of compounds used in the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), a subtype of breast cancer where chemotherapy remains the standard-of-care for patients. Taxanes like paclitaxel and docetaxel have demonstrated efficacy against TNBC in the clinic, however new classes of MSAs need to be identified due to the rise of taxane resistance in patients. (-)-Zampanolide is a covalent microtubule stabilizer that can circumvent taxane resistance in vitro but has not been evaluated for in vivo antitumor efficacy. Here, we determine that (-)-zampanolide has similar potency and efficacy to paclitaxel in TNBC cell lines, but is significantly more persistent due to its covalent binding. We also provide the first reported in vivo antitumor evaluation of (-)-zampanolide where we determine that it has potent and persistent antitumor efficacy when delivered intratumorally. Future work on zampanolide to further evaluate its pharmacophore and determine ways to improve its systemic therapeutic window would make this compound a potential candidate for clinical development through its ability to circumvent taxane-resistance mechanisms.

    Abstract We uncovered and reconstituted a concise biosynthetic pathway of the strained dipeptide (+)-azonazine A from marine-derived Aspergillus insulicola. Formation of the hexacyclic benzofuranoindoline ring system from cyclo-(l-Trp-N-methyl-l-Tyr) is catalyzed by a P450 enzyme through an oxidative cyclization. Supplementing the producing strain with various indole-substituted tryptophan derivatives resulted in the generation of a series of azonazine A analogs.

    Abstract Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a debilitating neurodegenerative autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS). The current study aimed to investigate the neuroprotective properties of Ajugarin‐I (Aju‐I) against the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model of MS and explored the underlying mechanism involved. The protective potential of Aju‐I was first confirmed against glutamate‐induced HT22 cells and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂)‐induced BV2 cells. Next, an EAE model has been established to investigate the mechanisms of MS and identify potential candidates for MS treatment. The behavioral results demonstrated that Aju‐I post‐immunization treatment markedly reduced the EAE‐associated clinical score, motor impairment, and neuropathic pain. Evans blue and fluorescein isothiocyanate extravasation in the brain were markedly reduced by Aju‐I. It effectively restored the EAE‐associated histopathological changes in the brain and spinal cord. It markedly attenuated EAE‐induced inflammation in the CNS by reducing the expression levels of p‐38/JNK/NF‐κB but increased the expression of IkB‐α. It suppressed oxidative stress by increasing the expression of Nrf2 but decreasing the expression of keap‐1. It suppressed EAE‐induced apoptosis in the CNS by regulating Bax/Bcl‐2 and Caspase‐3 expression. Taken together, this study suggests that Aju‐I treatment exhibits neuroprotective properties in the EAE model of MS via regulation of MAPK/NF‐κB, Nrf2/Keap‐1, and Bcl2/Bax signaling.

    Abstract This study began with the goal of identifying additional constituents from Zyzzya fuliginosa extracts obtained from an Indo-Pacific sponge (coll. no. 06132). The previous work identified several red and green pyrroloiminiquinones (aka pyrrolo[4,3,2-de]quinolines), and this reinvestigation provided two additional analogues, a blue compound named zyzzamine A (1) and a green compound named zyzzamine B (2). The relatively low ratio of H/[sum(CNO)] = 0.71 or 0.76 of this pair greatly complicated the final steps of compound characterization and required the use of five 2D NMR strategies and MS2 data sets.

    Abstract Regulation of lipoxygenase (LOX) activity is of great interest due to the involvement of the various LOX isoforms in the inflammatory process and hence many diseases. The bulk of investigations have centered around the discovery and design of inhibitors. However, the emerging understanding of the role of h15-LOX-1 in the resolution of inflammation provides a rationale for the development of activators as well. Bicyclic pyrazolines are known bioactive molecules that have been shown to display antibiotic and anti-inflammatory activities. In the current work, we reevaluated a previously discovered bicyclic pyrazoline h15-LOX-1 activator, PKUMDL_MH_1001 (written as

    Abstract Sauromatum guttatum has been traditionally used in the treatment of snakebite and tumors in India, Pakistan, and China. However, it lacks detailed phytochemical composition like other members of the family Araceae. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the phytochemical composition of crude methanolic extract and subsequent fractions from S. guttatum tubers and to determine their enzyme inhibitory potentials. The phytochemical profile was studied through tandem high-resolution mass-based phytochemical analysis and Global Natural Product Social (GNPS) molecular networking. Similarly, crude extract and fractions were also investigated for enzyme inhibitory activity against urease and α-glucosidase. Twenty-six compounds were dereplicated belonging to flavone C-glycosides, flavone O-glycosides, phenolic acids, phenolic acid glycosides, and iridoid glycosides. The n-butanol fraction was particularly found rich in flavone di-C-glycosides including schaftoside, isoschaftoside, neoschaftoside, and vicenin-2. The n-butanol fraction exhibited the highest in vitro inhibition against urease and α-glucosidase with IC

    Abstract Forest fires produce malodorous phenols, bioaccumulated in grapes as odorless phenol glycosides (mono- to tri-), and produce unpleasant smoke tainted wines when these complexes are transformed by glycosidases in saliva. Metabolomic analyses were used to further understand smoke taint by quantitating marker phenolic diglycosides via UHPLC separations and MS/MS multiple reaction monitoring. A collection of grapes and wines provided data to forecast wine quality of grapes subjected to wildfire smoke infestations; the analytics used a panel of reference compounds (1–6). Overall, eight different Vitis vinifera varietals were examined from 2017–2021 vintages involving >218 distinct samples (wines and/or grapes) from 21 different American Viticulture Areas. Results acquired allowed correlation of phenolic diglycoside levels as a function of grape cultivar, varietal clones, and intensity of wildfire smoke. Baseline data were tabulated for nonsmoked samples (especially, Cabernet Sauvignon having a sum 1–6 of <6 μg/L) and then compared to those exposed to six other levels of smoke. Outcomes established that (1) analyzing paired samples (bottled wines versus smoke-exposed grapes) can provide diagnostic metabolomic data, (2) phenolic diglycosides are stable in wines aged for >2.5 years, and (3) major gaps exist in our current understanding of this pool of metabolites.
