Free trans -4-hydroxy-L-proline (T4LHyp), a non-proteinogenic amino acid, is mainly released from the degradation of collagen, hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins, and some peptide antibiotics in nature. Although it has been known that some terrestrial bacteria utilize T4LHyp as carbon and nitrogen source via a T4LHyp gene cluster, which and how marine microorganisms catabolize T4LHyp still remains unclear. Here, five T4LHyp-utilizing marine bacterial strains, Halomonas sp. 5021, Salinicola sp. 4072, Alteromonas sp. 6022, Alteromonas sp. 5112 and Alteromonas sp. 30521, were isolated from hydrothermal vent sediment samples collected from the southwest Indian Ocean. While Halomonas sp. 5021 can utilize T4LHyp as both a nitrogen and carbon source, the other four strains can utilize T4LHyp as only a nitrogen source. Then, the T4LHyp catabolic mechanisms of Halomonas sp. 5021 and Salinicola sp. 4072, as a representative of the four strains, were further investigated by genomic, transcriptional, and biochemical analyses. Halomonas sp. 5021 adopts an intact T4LHyp gene cluster containing four enzymes to catabolize T4LHyp into NH 3 and α-ketoglutarate to provide nitrogen and carbon sources for its growth. Compared to Halomonas sp. 5021, Salinicola sp. 4072 lacks an α-KGSA dehydrogenase gene in the T4LHyp gene cluster and can only catabolize T4LHyp into NH 3 and α-ketoglutarate semialdehyde to provide a nitrogen source for its growth. Bioinformatic investigation showed that the 5021-like and 4072-like T4LHyp gene clusters are predominantly found in bacteria from Pseudomonadota , which are widely distributed in multiple marine habitats. Thus, Pseudomonadota bacteria are likely the dominant group to drive the recycling and mineralization of T4LHyp in the ocean.

Abstract The host–guest binding characteristics of cyclopentanocucurbit[6]uril (CyP 6 Q[6]) and cyanine dye trans -4-[4-(dimethylamino)styryl]-1-methylpyridinium iodide ( t -DSMI) have been studied. The results show that CyP 6 Q[6] and t -DSMI form a 1:1 inclusion system, generating strong fluorescence. On this basis, the fluorescent probe t -DSMI@CyP 6 Q[6] has been constructed, and its anion recognition ability has been investigated. In a neutral environment, BF 4 − , H 2 PO 4 − , and I − elicit obvious specific responses from the probe, since they have stronger binding forces. This probe shows greater sensitivity than the previously reported probe t -DSMI@HMeQ[6]. Graphic abstract Since the complex formed by CyP 6 Q[6] and t -DSMI can produce strong fluorescence at pH > 4.6, t -DSMI@CyP 6 Q[6] was constructed to recognize the anions at pH ≅ 5. The results show that in a near neutral environment, BF 4 − , H 2 PO 4 − , and I − elicit obvious specific responses from the probe.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) play a critical role in human physiology, with their concentrations serving as key indicators of physiological states. Among these, trans-4,5-epoxy-(E)-2-decenal, a volatile organic compound found in mammalian blood, exhibits unique chemical reactivity and olfactory sensitivity due to its molecular structure, which is closely associated with lipid peroxidation processes. However, conventional detection methods, such as gas chromatography-olfactometry-mass spectrometry (GC-O-MS), suffer from limitations including inherent subjectivity, poor reproducibility, stringent operational requirements, and low throughput, which undermine their clinical reliability. To address these challenges, this study developed an optimized liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for accurate qualitative and quantitative analysis. Given the poor detectability of aldehydes via LC-MS/MS, 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) derivatization was employed to enhance the chromatographic behavior and retention of the target compound. Additionally, HLB solid-phase extraction (SPE) columns was employed for purification to enhance the sensitivity of LC-MS/MS for the detection of trans-4,5-epoxy-(E)-2-decenal. Following derivatization, trans-4,5-epoxy-(E)-2-decenal demonstrated strong retention during chromatographic separation. The mobile phase, composed of acetonitrile and ultrapure water, exhibited significantly superior performance compared to combinations of acetonitrile with ammonium acetate buffer. Under optimized conditions, the LC-MS/MS method demonstrated excellent linearity for trans-4,5-epoxy-(E)-2-decenal within a range of 1–300 ng/mL, with correlation coefficient (R 2 ) of 0.9984, detection limit (LOD) of 0.3 ng/mL. The relative standard deviation (RSD) for spiked blood samples in the experiment was 12.53 %.

Two-phase equilibrium of ternary systems of CdBr2–l-proline/(4-OH-l-proline)–H2O at T = 298.15 K is studied. Their isothermal solution equilibrium phase diagrams have been drawn based on the solubility data. Two double salts (Cd(C5H9NO2)Br2·H2O and Cd(C5H9NO3)Br2) have been found by the Schrienemakers method in phase diagrams, and they are all congruently soluble in water. Both of them have been synthesized and characterized by powder XRD and TG-DTG. For the first time, enthalpies of solution of Cd(C5H9NO2)Br2·H2O and Cd(C5H9NO3)Br2 are measured in water, and their standard molar enthalpies of formation at 298.15 K are calculated by designing thermochemical cycles according to the Hess law. By comparison, it is found that the region of infinite dissolution appears in the ternary system of CdBr2–l-proline–H2O at 298.15 K. If the composition of the solution is in this region, there is no crystal when the water evaporates and only a viscous mixture can be obtained.

Ethnopharmacological relevance The herbal pair of Trichosanthis Pericarpium (TP) - Trichosanthis Radix (TR) can be seen in the famous formula “Beimu Gualou San”. It is a commonly selected combination of medicinal herbs for the treatment of cough with lung heat. Both drugs are derived from Trichosanthes kirilowii Maxim, a medicinal plant known for its ability to clear heat, resolve phlegm, produce saliva, and alleviate dryness. However, the optimal combination ratio and active ingredients of TP-TR have yet to be determined. Aim of the study This study aims to investigate the optimal combination ratio of TP-TR and its anti-inflammatory active ingredients in cough treatment. Materials and methods A zebrafish ( Danio rerio ) inflammatory injury model and response surface method were applied in the present study to determine the appropriate proportion of TP-TR. Chemical constituents in TP-TR were identified using HPLC-ELSD and UPLC-MS/MS methods. Subsequently, a cough mouse model was created using an ammonia solution to evaluate the effectiveness of the optimal TP-TR ratio. Network pharmacology and intestinal flora sequencing were used to validate the anti-inflammatory components of TP-TR. Results The herbal pair of TP - TR at the ratio of 1:2 showed an optimal anti-inflammatory effect, with a composite inflammatory factor score of 119.645 in the zebrafish experiment. TP-TR combination facilitated the dissolution of glutamine, inosine , cytosine , isoquercetin , and other substances. In the animal model, the TP-TR (1:2) treatment significantly reduced the frequency of coughs and prolonged cough latency compared to the model group. Results of the network pharmacology indicated that inflammatory-related factors such as TLR4 , STAT3, EGFR, and AKT1 played crucial roles in cough treatment with TP-TR, consistent with the validation experiment. The 16s rDNA sequencing results revealed a significant increase in the abundance of Clostridia_UCG-014, Lachnospiraceae , Christenella, Ruminococcus , and other species in the intestinal tract of mice after modelling. TP-TR (1:2) reduced the abundance of pro-inflammatory flora such as Clostridium_UCG-014 and Lachnospira , which were closely associated with L-lysine and trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline present in TP-TR according to correlation analysis. Conclusion TP-TR may promote the dissolution of glutamine, thymidine , inosine, cytosine, isoquercetin, and other components through their combination, thereby regulating the abundance of Clostridium_UCG-014 and Lachnospira and exerting an antitussive effect. This study, for the first time, showed that TP-TR at a 1:2 ratio exhibits superior anti-inflammatory effects. In addition to inflammatory mediators like EGFR, TLR4, AKT1, and STAT3, gut microbes could also serve as potential regulatory targets of TP-TR in the treatment of cough. 2'-Deoxyguanosine monohydrate, L-lysine, L-leucine, γ-aminobutyric acid, L-valine, L-tryptophan, L-proline, trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline, L-methionine, uridine , 2'-deoxyinosine, guanosine , cucurbitacin B and cucurbitacin D were identified as its anti-inflammatory active ingredients.

Processing is an indispensable technology in the preparation of Spirulina platensis ( S. platensis ). The key odorants in liquids, muds, and powders from S. platensis (NM and GZ) were characterized. A total of 90 odorants were identified and 41 odorants were sniffed with the flavor dilution (FD) factors ranging from 1 to 729. Among them, nonanal, decanal, d -limonene, β -cyclocitral, and β -ionone with FD factors ≥1 were detected in S. platensis during the whole processing stages. In addition, heptanal, ( E , E )-2,4-nonadienal, trans -4,5-epoxy-( E )-2-decenal, 1-hepten-3-one, isophorone, 3-ethyl-2,5-dimethylpyrazine, and α -ionone exhibited higher odor activity values in powders; β -myrcene, methional, and S -methyl methanethiosulphonate were key odorants in muds; while trans -3-penten-2-ol was key odorant in liquids. Besides, the GZ-mud presented stronger earthy and fishy odor than NM - mud. S. platensis powders have the stronger grassy odor, roasted odor, and marine odor than S. platensis muds. Overall, drying process promotes the formation of aldehydes, heterocyclic compounds, and terpenoids.
