Extracellular vesicles of Weizmannia coagulans lilac-01 reduced cell death of primary microglia and increased mitochondrial content in dermal fibroblasts in vitro
Biosci Biotechnol Biochem. 2023 Dec 20:zbad175. doi: 10.1093/bbb/zbad175. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe investigated the properties of extracellular vesicles from the probiotic Weizmannia coagulans lilac-01 (Lilac-01EVs). The phospholipids in the Lilac-01EV membrane were phosphatidylglycerol and mitochondria-specific cardiolipin. We found that applying Lilac-01EVs to primary rat microglia in vitro resulted in a reduction in primary microglial cell death (p < 0.05). Lilac-01EVs, which contain cardiolipin and phosphatidylglycerol, may have the potential to inhibit cell death in primary microglia. The addition of Lilac-...

Advancement in structure elucidation of natural medium-sized lactones through synthesis and theoretical calculations
Biosci Biotechnol Biochem. 2023 Dec 18:zbad179. doi: 10.1093/bbb/zbad179. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMedium-sized lactones are an important class of natural products with diverse biological activities. Unlike conventional organic compounds, these molecules exhibit elevated levels of conformational flexibility. This inherent structural feature occasionally exacerbates the complexities associated with determining their conformation, thereby posing challenges in deciphering their stereochemistry or, in certain instances, leading to incorrect structures. This review highlights specific scenarios in which synthetic studies a...
