Multiomics analysis revealed that the metabolite profile of raw milk is associated with the lactation stage of dairy cows and could be affected by variations in the ruminal microbiota.[Pubmed:38876221]

J Dairy Sci. 2024 Oct;107(10):8709-8721.

The nutritional components and quality of milk are influenced by the rumen microbiota and its metabolites at different lactation stages. Hence, rumen fluid and milk samples from 6 dairy cows fed the same diet were collected during peak lactation, early mid-lactation, and later mid-lactation. Untargeted metabolomics and 16S rRNA sequencing were applied for analyzing milk and rumen metabolites, as well as rumen microbial composition, respectively. The levels of lipid-related metabolites, l-glutamate, glucose-1-phosphate, and acetylphosphate in milk exhibited lactation-dependent attenuation. Maltol, N-acetyl-d-glucosamine, and choline, which are associated with milk flavor or coagulation properties, as well as l-valine, lansioside A, clitocine, and ginsenoside La, increased significantly in early mid-lactation and later mid-lactation, especially in later mid-lactation. The obvious increase in rumen microbial diversities (ACE and Shannon indices) were observed in early mid-lactation compared with peak lactation. Twenty-one differential bacterial genera of the rumen were identified, with Succinivibrionaceae_UCG-001, Candidatus Saccharimonas, Fibrobacter, and SP3-e08 being significantly enriched in peak lactation. Rikenellaceae_RC9_gut_group, Eubacterium_ruminantium_group, Lachnospira, Butyrivibrio, Eubacterium_hallii_group, and Schwartzia were most significantly enriched in early mid-lactation. In comparison, only 2 bacteria (unclassified_f__Prevotellaceae and Prevotellaceae_UCG-001) were enriched in later mid-lactation. For rumen metabolites, LysoPE(16:0), l-glutamate, and l-tyrosine had higher levels in peak lactation, whereas PE(17:0/0:0), PE(16:0/0:0), PS(18:1(9Z)/0:0), l-phenylalanine, dulcitol, 2-(methoxymethyl)furan, and 3-Phenylpropyl Acetate showed higher levels in early mid-lactation and later mid-lactation. Multiomics-integrated analysis revealed that a greater abundance of Fibrobacter contributed to phospholipid content in milk by increasing ruminal acetate, l-glutamate, and LysoPE(16:0). Prevotellaceae_UCG-001 and unclassified_f_Prevotellaceae provide substrates for milk metabolites of the same category by increasing ruminal l-phenylalanine and dulcitol contents. These results demonstrated that milk metabolomic fingerprints and critical functional metabolites during lactation, and the key bacteria in rumen related to them. These findings provide new insights into the development of functional dairy products.

Metabolic Engineering of Escherichia coli for the Biosynthesis of 3-Phenylpropionic Acid and 3-Phenylpropyl Acetate.[Pubmed:37146254]

J Agric Food Chem. 2023 May 17;71(19):7451-7458.

3-Phenylpropionic acid (3PPA) and its derivative 3-Phenylpropyl Acetate (3PPAAc) are important aromatic compounds with broad applications in the cosmetics and food industries. In this study, we constructed a plasmid-free 3PPA-producing Escherichia coli strain and designed a novel 3PPAAc biosynthetic pathway. A module containing tyrosine ammonia lyase and enoate reductase, evaluated under the control of different promoters, was combined with phenylalanine-overproducing strain E. coli ATCC31884, enabling the plasmid-free de novo production of 218.16 +/- 43.62 mg L(-1) 3PPA. The feasibility of the pathway was proved by screening four heterologous alcohol acetyltransferases, which catalyzed the transformation of 3-phenylpropyl alcohol into 3PPAAc. Afterward, 94.59 +/- 16.25 mg L(-1) 3PPAAc was achieved in the engineered E. coli strain. Overall, we have not only demonstrated the potential of de novo synthesis of 3PPAAc in microbes for the first time but also provided a platform for the future of biosynthesis of other aromatic compounds.

Therefore, the phenethyl formate MOE for the fertility endpoint can be calculated by dividing the phenethyl alcohol NOAEL in mg/kg/day by the total systemic exposure to phenethyl formate, 1000/0.00062 or 1612903.

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Matijin-Su Derivatives as Potential Antihepatitis B Virus and Anticancer Agents.[Pubmed:27451105]

Chem Biodivers. 2016 Nov;13(11):1584-1592.

A series of Matijin-Su (MTS, (2S)-2-[(2S)-2-benzamido-3-phenylpropanoyl]amino-3-Phenylpropyl Acetate) derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their anti-HBV and cytotoxic activities in vitro. Six compounds (4g, 4j, 5c, 5g, 5h and 5i) showed significant inhibition against HBV DNA replication with the IC(50) values in range of 2.18 - 8.55 mum, which were much lower than that of positive control lamivudine (IC(50) 82.42 mum). In particular, compounds 5h (IC(50) 2.18 mum; SI 151.59) and 5j (IC(50) 5.65 mum; SI 51.16) displayed relatively low cytotoxicities, resulting in high SI values. Notably, besides the anti-HBV DNA replication activity, compound 4j also exhibited more potent in vitro cytotoxic activity than 5-fluorouracil in two hepatocellular carcinoma cell (HCC) lines (QGY-7701 and SMMC-7721), indicating that 4j may be a promising lead for the exploration of drugs with dual therapeutic effects on HBV infection and HBV-induced HCC.

Fragrance material review on 3-phenylpropyl acetate.[Pubmed:22414651]

Food Chem Toxicol. 2012 Sep;50 Suppl 2:S457-61.

A toxicologic and dermatologic review of 3-Phenylpropyl Acetate when used as a fragrance ingredient is presented. 3-Phenylpropyl Acetate is a member of the fragrance structural group Aryl Alkyl Alcohol Simple Acid Esters (AAASAE). The AAASAE fragrance ingredients are prepared by reacting an aryl alkyl alcohol with a simple carboxylic acid (a chain of 1-4 carbons) to generate formate, acetate, propionate, butyrate, isobutyrate and carbonate esters. This review contains a detailed summary of all available toxicology and dermatology papers that are related to this individual fragrance ingredient and is not intended as a stand-alone document. Available data for 3-Phenylpropyl Acetate were evaluated, then summarized, and includes: physical properties, acute toxicity, skin irritation, skin sensitization, and toxicokinetics data. A safety assessment of the entire AAASAE will be published simultaneously with this document. Please refer to Belsito et al., 2012 for an overall assessment of the safe use of this material and all AAASAE in fragrances.

Characterization of odor-active compounds in guava wine.[Pubmed:21417409]

J Agric Food Chem. 2011 May 11;59(9):4885-90.

The volatile compounds of guava wine were isolated by continuous solvent extraction and analyzed by GC-FID and GC-MS. A total of 124 volatile constituents were detected, and 102 of them were positively identified. The composition of guava wine included 52 esters, 24 alcohols, 11 ketones, 7 acids, 6 aldehydes, 6 terpenes, 4 phenols and derivatives, 4 lactones, 4 sulfur-compounds, and 5 miscellaneous compounds. The aroma-active areas in the gas chromatogram were screened by application of the aroma extract dilution analysis and by odor activity values. Twelve odorants were considered as odor-active volatiles: (E)-beta-damascenone, ethyl octanoate, ethyl 3-phenylpropanoate, ethyl hexanoate, 3-methylbutyl acetate, 2-methyltetrahydrothiophen-3-one, 2,5-dimethyl-4-methoxy-3(2H)-furanone, ethyl (E)-cinnamate, ethyl butanoate, (E)-cinnamyl acetate, 3-Phenylpropyl Acetate, and ethyl 2-methylpropanoate.
