Development of ISO Standard for Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction Detection of Turkey-Derived Material
In this study, the specific fragment of turkey chromosome Z-DNA sequence was selected as the target sequence for turkey-derived material detection. A real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR) method was established, which had good interspecies specificity and interspecies consistency. The target sequence was cloned into the plasmid pUC57, and after being diluted to different concentrations, the plasmid was tested by real-time PCR. The absolute detection limit of this method was 5 copies/PCR reaction. An international collaborative validation trial was conducted to validate this method. The results showed that the false positive and negative rates of the proposed method were both 0%, and the absolute detection limit was 5 copies/PCR reaction. The results of qualitative analysis of the diluted plasmid showed that the inter-laboratory standard deviation was 0.30, less than the maximum permitted value of 1; at a detection probability of 95%, the absolute detection limit was 3.2 copies/PCR reaction, less than the maximum allowable value of 20 copies/PCR reaction. Based on voting results and reviewers’ comments, this method was approved by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) as an international standard method (ISO/TS 20224-8:2022)
Studies on Synthesis and Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR) of Derivatives of a New Natural Product from Marine Fungi as Inhibitors of Influenza Virus Neuraminidase
Based on the natural isoprenyl phenyl ether from a mangrove-derived fungus, 32 analogues were synthesized and evaluated for inhibitory activity against influenza H1N1 neuraminidase. Compound 15 (3-(allyloxy)-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde) exhibited the most potent inhibitory activity, with IC50 values of 26.96 μM for A/GuangdongSB/01/2009 (H1N1), 27.73 μM for A/Guangdong/03/2009 (H1N1), and 25.13 μM for A/Guangdong/ 05/2009 (H1N1), respectively, which is stronger than the benzoic acid derivatives (~mM level). These are a new kind of non-nitrogenous aromatic ether Neuraminidase (NA) inhibitors. Their structures are simple and the synthesis routes are not complex. The structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis revealed that the aryl aldehyde and unsubstituted hydroxyl were important to NA inhibitory activities. Molecular docking studies were carried out to explain the SAR of the compounds, and provided valuable information for further structure modification
