The growing amount of experimental data on chemical objects includes properties of small molecules, results of studies of their interaction with human and animal proteins, and methods of synthesis of organic compounds (OCs). The data obtained can be used to identify the names of OCs automatically, including all possible synonyms and relevant data on the molecular properties and biological activity. Utilization of different synonymic names of chemical compounds allows researchers to increase the completeness of data on their properties available from publications. Enrichment of the data on the names of chemical compounds by information about their possible metabolites can help estimate the biological effects of parent compounds and their metabolites more thoroughly. Therefore, an attempt at automated extraction of the names of parent compounds and their metabolites from the texts is a rather important task. In our study, we aimed at developing a method that provides the extraction of the named entities (NEs) of parent compounds and their metabolites from abstracts of scientific publications. Based on the application of the conditional random fields' algorithm, we extracted the NEs of chemical compounds. We developed a set of rules allowing identification of parent compound NEs and their metabolites in the texts. We evaluated the possibility of extracting the names of potential metabolites based on cosine similarity between strings representing names of parent compounds and all other chemical NEs found in the text. Additionally, we used conditional random fields to fetch the names of parent compounds and their metabolites from the texts based on the corpus of texts labeled manually. Our computational experiments showed that usage of rules in combination with cosine similarity could increase the accuracy of recognition of the names of metabolites compared to the rule-based algorithm and application of a machine-learning algorithm (conditional random fields).Chiral 1,2-diamino compounds are important building blocks in organic chemistry for biological applications and as asymmetric inducers in stereoselective synthesis that are challenging to prepare in a straightforward and stereoselective manner. Herein, we disclose a cost-effective and readily available Cu-catalyzed system for the reductive coupling of a chiral allenamide with N-alkyl substituted aldimines to access chiral 1,2-diamino synthons as single stereoisomers in high yields. The method shows broad reaction scope and high diastereoselectivity and can be easily scaled using standard Schlenk techniques. Mechanistic investigations by density functional theory calculations identified the mechanism and origin of stereoselectivity. In particular, the addition to the imine was shown to be reversible, which has implications toward development of catalyst-controlled stereoselective variants of the identified reductive coupling of imines and allenamides.Five new diterpenes, including four new hydroazulenes, (8R,11R)-8,11-diacetoxypachydictyol A (1), (8R*,11R*)-6-O-acetyl-8-acetoxy-11-hydroxypachydictyol A (2), (8R*,11S*)-8-acetoxy-11-hydroxypachydictyol A (3), and (8R*,11S*)-6-O-acetyl-8,11-dihydroxypachydictyol A (4), and a secohydroazulene derivative, named 7Z-7,8-seco-7,11-didehydro-8- acetoxypachydictyol A (5), were isolated from a South China Sea collection of a Dictyota sp. nov. brown alga, together with five known analogues (6-10). Structure elucidation was achieved by extensive spectroscopic analysis and comparison with reported data. All compounds showed potent antioxidant effects against H2O2-induced oxidative damage in neuron-like PC12 cells at a low concentration of 2 μM. The antioxidant property of dictyol C (9) was associated with activation of the Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway; it also showed neuroprotective effects against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) in a rat model of transient middle cerebral artery occlusion. As such, hydroazulene diterpenes could serve as lead structures for the development of novel neuroprotective agents against CIRI.Untargeted metabolomics identified urinary biomarkers able to discriminate between the intake of fresh hand-squeezed and industrially processed orange juices. Processing led to an upregulation in the excretion of hydroxy-polymethoxyflavone sulfates, abscisic acid, and sinapic acid 4'-glucuronide. The demethylated polymethoxyflavone metabolites were produced with a significant interindividual variability suggesting that they could originate from gut microbiota metabolism. No correlation between the excretion levels of flavanone and polymethoxyflavone metabolites was observed, showing that gut microbiota metabolism differences could be behind the interindividual variability. Subjects with a high excretion level of hesperetin conjugates could be low or high polymethoxyflavone excretors. Flavanone phase II metabolites were primarily glucuronides, while those of demethylated polymethoxyflavones were mainly sulfates. A comparative study with the available demethylated polymethoxyflavone standards suggested that the metabolites produced in humans could be tentatively 4'-hydroxy- and/or 3'-hydroxy-polymethoxyflavone sulfates. This study is the first to describe the bioavailability and metabolism of citrus juice polymethoxyflavones in humans.Phosphoryl guanidine oligonucleotides (PGOs) are promising tools for biological research and development of biosensors and therapeutics. We performed structural and hybridization analyses of octa-, deca-, and dodecamers with all phosphate residues modified by 1,3-dimethylimidazolidine-2-imine moieties. Similarity of the B-form double helix between native and modified duplexes was noted. In PGO duplexes, we detected a decrease in the proportion of C2'-endo and an increased proportion of C1'-exo sugar conformations of the modified chain. JZL184 Applicability of the two-state model to denaturation transition of all studied duplexes was proved for the first time. Sequence-dependent effects of this modification on hybridization properties were observed. The thermal stability of PGO complexes is almost native at 100 mM NaCl and slightly increases with decreasing ionic strength. An increase in water activity and dramatic changes in interaction with cations and in solvation of PGOs and their duplexes were noted, resulting in slight elevation of the melting temperature after an ionic-strength decrease from 1 M NaCl down to deionized water.
