RESUMO
A novel compound streptothiomycin F (1), and a new natural product, N-(5-nitropentyl)acetamide (2), were discovered alongside ten previously identified compounds (3-12) through solid fermentation of marine-derived Streptomyces sp. ZS-A31 based on rice. The chemical structures of compounds 1-2 were elucidated using 1D and 2D NMR, as well as HRESIMS data analysis. Evaluation of all isolated compounds for their antibiofilm and antibacterial activities against P. aeruginosa was carried out using microdilution and crystal violet staining methods. Results highlighted the weak potency of the known compounds lumichrome (3) and vanillic acid (7) in inhibiting biofilm formation.
RESUMO
Obesity has been a worldwide problem associated with numerous chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic disorders. It may also play a role in visceral hypersensitivity, contributing to irritable bowel syndrome. (i) Adipose tissue secretes various inflammatory mediators, causing intestinal hyperpermeability and nerve endings activation. (ii) Obesity and gastrointestinal microbiota could affect each other, and microbial metabolites can increase sensitivity of the colon. (iii) Vitamin D deficiency contributes to both fat accumulation and disruption of the intestinal mucosal barrier. (iv) Brain-gut axis may be another bridge from obesity to visceral hypersensitivity.
