The tautomer distributions of d ‑fructose, a popular model compound for biorefinery , in various lower alcohols and DMSO‑ d 6 (ROHs/DMSO‑ d 6 ) mixtures at 298 K were investigated by quantitative 13 C NMR. The tautomer distributions of d ‑fructose in ethanol/DMSO‑ d 6 and methanol/DMSO‑ d 6 with different volume ratios of alcohols to DMSO‑ d 6 were also examined. For these normal alcohols (methanol, ethanol, n ‑propanol and n ‑butanol)/DMSO‑ d 6 , the tautomer distribution of d ‑fructose in methanol/DMSO‑ d 6 exhibited the shortest equilibration time (46 h) and the lowest concentration of β‑furanose (39.0%) at equilibrium. The fraction of fructofuranose (α‑furanose and β‑furanose) at equilibrium and time needed to reach equilibrium in branched chain alcohols/DMSO‑ d 6 obey the following order: 2‑propanol/DMSO‑ d 6 (62.2%, 320 h) > tert ‑butanol/DMSO‑ d 6 (61.6%, 307 h) > 2‑butanol/DMSO‑ d 6 (60.6%, 216 h) > isobutanol/DMSO‑ d 6 (57.8%, 134 h). For the diols/DMSO‑ d 6 , the time for the tautomer distribution of d ‑fructose to reach the equilibrium was found to be: 1,4‑butanediol/DMSO‑ d 6 (113 h) > 1,2‑propanediol/DMSO‑ d 6 (38 h) > ethylene glycol/DMSO‑ d 6 (36 h). For ethanol/DMSO‑ d 6 and methanol/DMSO‑ d 6 with respectively different volume ratios, the experimental results showed that the high concentration of ethanol or methanol increases the conversion rate of tautomers.

In this study, we report the cloning and expression of a functional glucoside 3-dehydrogenase (G3DH) gene from Sphingobacterium faecium ZJF-D6. This gene is 1686 bp in length and encodes a peptide of 562 amino acids. The G3DH gene was successfully expressed in E. coli , and the recombinant enzyme could oxidize glucosides, galactosides and analogues at C-3 position. The sequence and multiple alignment analysis showed that the enzyme has highest identity with G3DHs from Paraglaciecola polaris LMG 21857, Aliiglaciecola lipolytica E3 and Halomonas sp. alpha-15. The recombinant G3DH was purified on Ni–NTA column and exhibited the highest activity at pH 7.6 and 30 °C. It was sensitive to acid and alkali, and showed well thermostability. The SfG3DH could oxidize a wild range of sugars. When recombinant E. coli BL21 cells were used as catalyst, a high rate of conversion to N- p -nitrophenyl-3-ketovalidamine was achieved, and no p -nitroaniline was detected. This process offers a promising approach to fulfill substrate of 3-ketovalidoxylamine A C–N lyase production.

Aromatic sulfones are the prevailing scaffolds in pharmaceutical and material sciences. However, compared to their widespread application, the selective deuterium labeling of these structures is restricted due to their electron-deficient properties. This study presents two comprehensive strategies for the deuteration of aromatic sulfones. The base-promoted deuteration uses DMSO-d6 as the deuterium source, resulting in a rapid H/D exchange within 2 h. Meanwhile, a silver-catalyzed protocol offers a much milder option by using economical D2O to furnish the labeled sulfones.

Dodecamethylcyclohexasiloxane (D6) is a cyclic organosilicon monomer widely used in consumer and industrial products and is increasingly detected in environmental and biological systems. Previous studies have shown that D6 modulates the ecological behavior of the heavy metal cadmium (Cd) in soil and reduces Cd accumulation in plants; however, D6-mediated stress responses to Cd in animals and their underlying mechanisms remain inadequately explored. This study reveals that D6 exerts multi-layered protective effects against Cd toxicity in Caenorhabditis elegans . Cd exposure significantly reduced lifespan, brood size, locomotion, and growth, whereas D6 co-treatment (Cd_D6) improved survival by 20%, increased brood size from 64 ± 4.37–90 ± 1.53 eggs, and partially restored locomotor activity. D6 also reduced germline apoptosis and decreased internal Cd accumulation by more than 30%, while stabilizing Ca homeostasis. Biochemically, D6 reversed Cd-induced declines in glucose, pyruvate, and ATP levels, restored mitochondrial ultrastructure, and lowered ROS and MDA accumulation, alongside partial recovery of antioxidant enzyme activities (SOD, CAT, POD, HK, ATPase). Transcriptomic profiling revealed that D6 counteracted Cd-driven repression of metabolic and mitochondrial pathways, including peroxisomal β-oxidation , ubiquinone biosynthesis, and genes essential for lipid catabolism (e.g., acs-7 , acox-3 , nkat-1 ). Weighted gene co-expression network analysis identified a D6-responsive module enriched with regulatory genes associated with metabolic repair and stress resilience. Collectively, these findings identify D6 as a previously unrecognized organosilicon compound that reduces Cd accumulation and reprograms metabolic and mitochondrial functions, thereby improving organismal homeostasis and enhancing resilience to Cd stress.

A soluble glucoside 3-dehydrogenase (G3DH) was purified from a newly isolated Sphingobacterium faecium ZJF-D6 CCTCC M 2013251. The enzyme was purified to 35.71-fold with a yield of 41.91 % and was estimated by sodium dodecyl sulphate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with a molecular mass of 62 kDa. The sequences of two peptides of the enzyme were all contained in a GMC family oxidoreductase (EFK55866) by mass spectrometry analysis. The optimal pH of the enzyme was around 6.2. The enzyme was stable within a pH range of 5.0–6.6 and was sensitive to heat. G3DH from S. faecium exhibited extremely broad substrate specificity and well regioselectivity to validoxylamine A. The enzyme was completely inhibited by Hg 2 Cl 2 and partly inhibited by Cu 2+ , Fe 2+ , Ca 2+ , and Cd 2+ . The apparent K

Matrix-assisted diffusion-ordered spectroscopy (MA DOSY) technology enables efficient the virtual separation of components in a mixture according to their coefficients (D). In the current research, MA DOSY technology was applied for the analysis of a flavonoid mixture. To establish the method, five representative active flavonoid ingredients, including baicalein, baicalin, quercetin, puerarin and rutinum, were selected for the mixture model. The effects of the type and concentration of the matrix, solvent polarity, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experimental conditions on the resolution of the DOSY spectrum were investigated. It turned out that sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) showed the best performance in increasing the resolution of different analytes, which initially increased to the peak below the added amount of 9 mg, and decreased upon the addition of more SDS. In addition, the five flavonoids showed higher resolution in DMSO–d6than in MeOD. Experimental parameters of DOSY, including the number of scans (NS), dummy scans (DS), and value of the FID data points (TD), were also optimized. Finally, the above optimized method was used for the qualitative analysis of the total flavonoid mixture extracted fromScutellaria baicalensisGeorgi. A total of nine compounds were identified and confirmed by comparing them with mass spectrometry data, which further verifies the practical value of this method upon analyzing flavonoid mixtures and provides some reference significance for the follow-up research.Keywords:NMR;MA-DOSY;flavonoids;mixture separation

A novel strategy for analyzing free fatty acids (FFAs) in edible oils was developed using isotope-coded derivatization reagents—4-(dimethylamino)benzoylhydrazine (DABA) and d 6 -4-(dimethylamino) benzoylhydrazine ( d 6 -DABA)—synthesized via a two-step process. These reagents selectively derivatized FFAs at 35°C in 30 min, considerably enhancing mass spectrometry sensitivity. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography–high-resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC–HRMS) enabled multidimensional identification via isotope ratio analysis, retention time prediction, isotope peak matching, and carbon count–based retention behavior, excluding 47.5% of initial proposals and identifying 42 FFAs. A relative quantification method using d 6 -DABA-derivatized pentadecanoic acid as the internal standard showed good linearity ( R = 0.9914–0.9993), precision, repeatability, and stability (relative standard deviation (RSD) ≤ 13.0%). The primary FFAs in five edible oils included palmitic, stearic, linoleic, arachidonic, and linolenic acids. Specifically, linoleic acid was predominant in rapeseed oil (117525.5 ng/mL) and peanut oil (525880.0 ng/mL), stearic acid was notable in soy oil (21255.2 ng/mL) and corn oil (29349.7 ng/mL), and palmitic acid was predominant in olive oil (97834.5 ng/mL). This method offers a sensitive analytical platform with excellent tolerance to substrate interference, facilitating the study of the composition and content of FFAs in edible oils.

Acute lung injury (ALI) is a severe respiratory disorder closely associated with the excessive activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. Oridonin ( Ori ), a natural diterpenoid compound, had been confirmed as a specific covalent NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor, which was completely different from that of MCC950 . However, the further clinical application of Ori was limited by its weak inhibitory activity against NLRP3 inflammasome (IC 50 = 1240.67 nM). Fortunately, through systematic structure-optimization of Ori , D6 demonstrated the enhancement of IL-1β inhibitory activity (IC 50 = 41.79 nM), which was better than the parent compound Ori . Then, by using SPR, molecular docking and MD simulation, D6 was verified to directly interact with NLRP3 via covalent and non-covalent interaction. The further anti-inflammatory mechanism studies were revealed that D6 could inhibit the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome without affecting the initiation phase of NLRP3 inflammasome activation, and D6 was a broad-spectrum and selective NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor. Finally, D6 demonstrated a favorable therapeutic effect on LPS-induced ALI in mice model, and the potent pharmacodynamic effect of D6 was correlated with the specific inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome activation in vivo . Thus, D6 is proved as a potent NLRP3 inhibitor, and has the potential to develop as a novel anti-ALI agent.
