Diphyllin Shows a Broad-Spectrum Antiviral Activity against Multiple Medically Important Enveloped RNA and DNA Viruses

Michal Stefanik et al.

Summary: Diphyllin, a natural compound extracted from tropical plants, shows antiviral activity against a variety of enveloped RNA and DNA viruses, including Flaviviridae, Phenuiviridae, Rhabdoviridae, and Herpesviridae families. This broad-spectrum antiviral agent not only inhibits the endosomal acidification process but may also employ other mechanisms to block virus replication.

New Insight into Justicidin B Pathway and Production in Linum austriacum

Iride Mascheretti et al.

Summary: In this study, Linum austriacum in vitro cultures, cells, adventitious roots, and hairy roots were developed for the production of justicidin B through elicitation with MeJA and COR, with the highest productivity observed in the adventitious roots and hairy roots. The synthesis of justicidin B was induced more than three times by MeJA and COR treatments. RNA sequencing and microscopic analysis provided insights into the pathway and cellular localization of justicidin B in L. austriacum.

Detecting and Differentiating Monosaccharide Enantiomers by 1H NMR Spectroscopy

Masanori Inagaki et al.

Summary: Monosaccharides play essential roles in living organisms, and there are various methods to determine their absolute configurations, with using optical rotation differences being the most commonly used. A new method has been developed to identify monosaccharide enantiomers by analyzing their diastereomeric derivatives' H-1 NMR spectra, which eliminates the need for complex sample preparation.
