  1. [ASAP] Pocket-based Lead Optimization Strategy for the Design and Synthesis of Chitinase Inhibitors

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Insect chitinases play an indispensable role in shedding old cuticle during molting. Targeting chitinase inhibition is a promising pest control strategy. Of ChtI, a chitinase from the destructive insect pest Ostrinia furnacalis (Asian corn borer), has been suggested as a potential target for designing green pesticides. A 4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophene-3-carboxylate scaffold was previously obtained, and further derivatization generated the lead compound 1 as Of ChtI inhibitor.

  10. [ASAP] Purification and Characterization of a Cadmium-Binding Protein from Lentinula edodes

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Many organisms possess the ability to produce metal-binding proteins to absorb cadmium. Metallothioneins, an important family of cysteine-rich metal-binding proteins, have been isolated and well characterized. However, Lentinula edodes may have a different type of cadmium-binding protein that contains fewer cysteine residues. In the present study, we purified a cadmium-binding protein from L.

  19. [ASAP] Sodium Hydrosulfide Mitigates Cadmium Toxicity by Promoting Cadmium Retention and Inhibiting Its Translocation from Roots to Shoots in Brassica napus

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • The association between hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and cell wall composition with regard to the mitigation of cadmium (Cd) toxicity in Brassica napus L. was investigated. Cd caused growth retardation, leaf chlorosis, and decreased endogenous H2S content in Brassica napus roots. Stimulating l-cysteine desulfhydrase (LCD)-mediated H2S production with H2S releaser (NaHS) markedly improved plant growth, reduced Cd content in stems and leaves, and rescued Cd-induced chlorosis.
