Compound probiotics have been widely used and commonly coadministered with other drugs for treating various chronic illnesses, yet their effects on drug pharmacokinetics remain underexplored. This study elucidated the impact of VSL#3 on the metabolism of probe drugs for cytochrome P450 enzymes (P450s), specifically omeprazole, tolbutamide, midazolam, metoprolol, phenacetin, and chlorzoxazone. Male Wistar rats were administered drinking water containing VSL#3 or not for 14 days and then intragastrically administered a P450 probe cocktail; this was done to investigate the host P450’s metabolic phenotype. Stool, liver/jejunum, and serum samples were collected for 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing, RNA sequencing, and bile acid profiling. The results indicated significant differences in both α and β diversity of intestinal microbial composition between the probiotic and vehicle groups in rats. In the probiotic group, the bioavailability of omeprazole increased by 269.9%, whereas those of tolbutamide and chlorpropamide decreased by 28.1% and 27.4%, respectively. The liver and jejunum exhibited 1417 and 4004 differentially expressed genes, respectively, between the two groups. In the probiotic group, most of P450 genes were upregulated in the liver but downregulated in the jejunum. The expression of genes encoding metabolic enzymes and drug transporters also changed. The serum-conjugated bile acids in the probiotic group were significantly reduced. Shorter duodenal villi and longer ileal villi were found in the probiotic group. In summary, VSL#3 administration altered the gut microbiota, host drug–processing gene expression, and intestinal structure in rats, which could be reasons for pharmacokinetic changes.

There is a growing interest in the use of medicinal plants to treat a variety of diseases, and one of the most commonly used medicinal plants globally is Cannabis sativa. The two most abundant cannabinoids (⁹-tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol) have been governmentally approved to treat selected medical conditions; however, the plant produces over 100 cannabinoids, including cannabichromene (CBC). Although the cannabinoids share a common precursor molecule, cannabigerol, they are structurally and pharmacologically unique. These differences may engender differing therapeutic potentials. In this review, we will examine what is currently known about CBC with regards to pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, and receptor profile. We will also discuss the therapeutic areas that have been examined for this cannabinoid, notably antinociceptive, antibacterial, and anti-seizure activities. Finally, we will discuss areas where new research is needed and potential novel medicinal applications for CBC.

Our knowledge of the roles of individual cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes in drug metabolism has developed considerably in the past 30 years, and this base has been of considerable use in avoiding serious issues with drug interactions and issues due to variations. Some newer approaches are being considered for "phenotyping" metabolism reactions with new drug candidates. Endogenous biomarkers are being used for noninvasive estimation of levels of individual P450 enzymes. There is also the matter of some remaining "orphan" P450s, which have yet to be assigned reactions. Practical problems that continue in drug development include predicting drug-drug interactions, predicting the effects of polymorphic and other P450 variations, and evaluating interspecies differences in drug metabolism, particularly in the context of "metabolism in safety testing" regulatory issues ["disproportionate (human) metabolites"].

If you use Chrome on your iPhone, you’re about to see some features sliding over from the Android version. Google Lens will let you add text to your image searches, and you can save files and pictures directly to Google Drive and Photos. You can get “Shopping Insights” for products you’re browsing.

Chrome for iOS now lets you add words to your Google Lens visual searches, allowing you to add nuance to your query or “perform more complex and specific searches,” as Chrome Product Manager Katia Muradyan wrote in a blog post. After activating Lens by tapping the camera icon in the Chrome search bar, you can ask questions about the object you’re snapping a pic of, and it will produce corresponding results. Google says AI Overviews will also appear for some of these search results.

The feature shares some common ground with an Apple Intelligence feature for iPhone 16 owners in iOS 18.2, which is currently in beta. Visual Intelligence lets you point your camera at something and get info about it, including asking ChatGPT questions about it or searching for it on Google.

Chrome for iPhone now has a feature that lets you save a file directly to Google Drive or Google Photos, sparing you from using your phone’s internal storage. When saving files from Chrome, you’ll see a new option to save the file to Drive. Similarly, when browsing a photo you want to save, long-press on it, and you’ll see a new “Save in Google Photos” option in the context menu. Of course, the feature requires you to be signed into a Google account.

Chrome for iOS also adds a feature that pops up a mini-map when you click on an address. Look for an underlined link to specific addresses; clicking on it will take you to the mini-map without leaving the browser.

Finally, Google is adding Shopping Insights for US users. The company frames it as a way to help you find great prices on items you’re shopping for, but it’s hard to imagine this feature exists strictly from the kindness of Google's heart. Regardless, you’ll soon see a “Good Deal Now” alert in Chrome’s address bar when browsing for products for which it’s available. You’ll see details like price history / tracking and buying options if you tap it.

Here are four new Chrome iOS features making it even easier to use this browser across devices.

Google Chromebook Now Available for $299

Google Chromebook Now Available for $299

Google’s newest Chromebook, made by Samsung, only costs $249 and offers the same general performance of ChromeOS is a smaller, lighter package. How’d they do it? This model uses the same chip type that powers smartphones and tablets. Take a look at my hands-on thoughts.

Google surprised many with the launch of a $199 Chromebook this week. So what's the Acer C7 like? Overall the quality and performance is better than I expected for the price and it even has a 320 GB hard drive for those who want local storage.

I've been using a Chromebook Pixel for the past two days and a single phrase comes to mind: blown away. Is it worth $1,299 or more? Take a look to see and then stack it up against your mobile computing needs.

Google's Chromebook Pixel is quite versatile after all. I can run Chrome OS and Linux at the same time, and switch between the two, allowing me to use Skype and other third party apps!

While the Chrome browser takes full advantage of the Chromebook Pixel's hardware, I thought it would interesting to see how video gaming works on the device. Quite well, with just a few small issues, it turns out.

To investigate the effect of high-energy X-rays on site-specific radiation-damage, low-dose diffraction data were collected from radiation-sensitive crystals of the metal enzyme cytochrome c oxidase. Data were collected at the Structural Biology I beamline (BL41XU) at SPring-8, using 30 keV X-rays and a highly sensitive pixel array detector equipped with a cadmium telluride sensor. The experimental setup of continuous sample translation using multiple crystals allowed the average diffraction weighted dose per data set to be reduced to 58 kGy, and the resulting data revealed a ligand structure featuring an identical bond length to that in the damage-free structure determined using an X-ray free-electron laser. However, precise analysis of the residual density around the ligand structure refined with the synchrotron data showed the possibility of a small level of specific damage, which might have resulted from the accumulated dose of 58 kGy per data set. Further investigation of the photon-energy dependence of specific damage, as assessed by variations in UV-vis absorption spectra, was conducted using an on-line spectrometer at various energies ranging from 10 to 30 keV. No evidence was found for specific radiation damage being energy dependent.

The crystal structure of the c-type cytochrome NirC from Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been determined and reveals the simultaneous presence of monomers and 3D domain-swapped dimers in the same asymmetric unit.

In the title compound, C19H13IO2, the dihedral angle between the naphthyl ring system and the pendant iodo­phenyl ring is 72.48 (11)°. In the crystal, C—H⋯π inter­actions and I⋯O [3.293 (2) Å] halogen bonds are observed, which combine to generate a herringbone packing motif.

In the title compound, C16H19N3O2Si, the dihedral angle between the coumarin ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.031 Å) and the triazole ring is 73.81 (8)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked into [010] chains by weak C—H⋯O inter­actions.

The title compound, C11H8O5·(CH3)2SO, is a new coumarin derivative. The asymmetric unit contains two coumarin mol­ecules (A and B) and two di­methyl­sulfoxide solvent mol­ecules (A and B). The dihedral angle between the pyran and benzene rings in the chromene moiety is 3.56 (2)° for mol­ecule A and 1.83 (2)° for mol­ecule B. In mol­ecule A, the dimethyl sulfoxide sulfur atom is disordered over two positions with a refined occupancy ratio of 0.782 (5):0.218 (5). In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains running along the c-axis direction. The chains are linked by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to the ac plane. In addition, there are also C—H⋯π and π–π inter­actions present within the layers. The inter­molecular contacts in the crystal have been analysed using Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots, which indicate that the most important contributions to the packing are from H⋯H (33.9%) and O⋯H/H⋯O (41.2%) contacts.

The title compounds, 8-amino-6-methyl-3,4-diphenyl-1H-isochromen-1-one, C22H17NO2, (I), and 8-amino-3,4-diethyl-6-methyl-1H-isochromen-1-one, C14H17NO2, (II), are new isocoumarin derivatives in which the isochromene ring systems are planar. Compound II crystallizes with two independent mol­ecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit. In I, the two phenyl rings are inclined to each other by 56.41 (7)° and to the mean plane of the 1H-isochromene ring system by 67.64 (6) and 44.92 (6)°. In both compounds, there is an intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond present forming an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal of I, mol­ecules are linked by N—H⋯π inter­actions, forming chains along the b-axis direction. A C—H⋯π inter­action links the chains to form layers parallel to (100). The layers are then linked by a second C—H⋯π inter­action, forming a three-dimensional structure. In the crystal of II, the two independent mol­ecules (A and B) are linked by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming –A–B–A–B– chains along the [101] direction. The chains are linked into ribbons by C—H⋯π inter­actions involving inversion-related A mol­ecules. The latter are linked by offset π–π inter­actions [inter­centroid distances vary from 3.506 (1) to 3.870 (2) Å], forming a three-dimensional structure.

The crystal structures of the disordered hemi-DMSO solvate of (E)-2-oxo-N'-(3,4,5-tri­meth­oxy­benzyl­idene)-2H-chromene-3-carbohydrazide, C20H18N2O6·0.5C2H6OS, and (E)-N'-benzyl­idene-2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carbohydrazide, C17H12N2O3 (4: R = C6H5), are discussed. The non-hydrogen atoms in compound [4: R = (3,4,5-MeO)3C6H2)] exhibit a distinct curvature, while those in compound, (4: R = C6H5), are essential coplanar. In (4: R = C6H5), C—H⋯O and π–π intra­molecular inter­actions combine to form a three-dimensional array. A three-dimensional array is also found for the hemi-DMSO solvate of [4: R = (3,4,5-MeO)3C6H2], in which the mol­ecules of coumarin are linked by C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π inter­actions, and form tubes into which the DMSO mol­ecules are cocooned. Hirshfeld surface analyses of both compounds are reported, as are the lattice energy and inter­molecular inter­action energy calculations of compound (4: R = C6H5).

The title compounds, 6-(naphthalen-1-yl)-6a-nitro-6,6a,6 b,7,9,11a-hexa­hydro­spiro­[chromeno[3',4':3,4]pyrrolo­[1,2-c]thia­zole-11,11'-indeno­[1,2-b]quinoxaline], C37H26N4O3S, (I), and 6'-(naphthalen-1-yl)-6a'-nitro-6',6a',6b',7',8',9',10',12a'-octa­hydro-2H-spiro­[ace­naphthyl­ene-1,12'-chromeno[3,4-a]indolizin]-2-one, C36H28N2O4, (II), are new spiro derivatives, in which both the pyrrolidine rings adopt twisted conformations. In (I), the five-membered thia­zole ring adopts an envelope conformation, while the eight-membered pyrrolidine-thia­zole ring adopts a boat conformation. An intra­molecular C—H⋯N hydrogen bond occurs, involving a C atom of the pyran ring and an N atom of the pyrazine ring. In (II), the six-membered piperidine ring adopts a chair conformation. An intra­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs, involving a C atom of the pyrrolidine ring and the keto O atom. For both compounds, the crystal structure is stabilized by inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. In (I), the C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link adjacent mol­ecules, forming R22(16) loops propagating along the b-axis direction, while in (II) they form zigzag chains along the b-axis direction. In both compounds, C—H⋯π inter­actions help to consolidate the structure, but no significant π–π inter­actions with centroid–centroid distances of less than 4 Å are observed.

In the title compounds, C16H9Cl2N2O2·C4H8O2 and C16H9Cl2N2O2, the bicyclic 4H-chromene cores are nearly planar with maximum deviations of 0.081 (2) and 0.087 (2) Å. In both structures, the chromene derivative mol­ecules are linked into centrosymmetric dimers by pairs of N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming R22(16) motifs. These dimers are further linked in the 3,4-di­chloro­phenyl derivative by N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds into double layers parallel to (100) and in the 2,6-di­chloro­phenyl derivative by O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds into ribbons along the [1overline{1}0] direction. In the 3,4-di­chloro­phenyl derivative, the 1,4-dioxane solvent mol­ecules are connected to the chromene mol­ecules via O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

Two thio­chromene com­pounds containing Br and F atoms, namely 2-(2-bromo-5-fluoro­phen­yl)-8-eth­oxy-3-nitro-2H-thio­chromene (C17H13BrFNO3S, A) and 2-(2-bromo-5-fluoro­phen­yl)-7-meth­oxy-3-nitro-2H-thio­chromene (C16H11BrFNO3S, B), were prepared via the condensation reaction between 2-mer­capto­benzaldehyde and nitro­styrene derivatives. In both com­pounds, the thio­chromene plane is almost perpendicular to the phenyl ring. In the structure of A, mol­ecules are assembled via π–π stacking and C—H⋯O and C—F⋯π inter­actions. In the crystal packing of B, mol­ecules are linked by C—H⋯F, C—H⋯O, C—H⋯π and π–π inter­actions.

In the paper by Gomes et al. [Acta Cryst. (2019), E75, 1403–1410], there was an error and omission in the author and affiliation list.

A new polymorphic form of the title compound, C12H10O4, is described in the ortho­rhom­bic space group Pbca and Z = 8, as compared to polymorph I, which crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c and Z = 8 [Li et al. (2012). Chin. J. Struct. Chem. 31, 1003–1007.]. In polymorph II, the coumarin ring system is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.00129 Å). In the crystal, mol­ecules are connected by Csp3—H⋯O and Car—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming mol­ecular sheets linked into zigzag shaped layers along the b-axis direction. The three-dimensional lattice is assembled through stacking of the zigzag layers by π–π inter­actions with a centroid-to-centroid distance of 3.600 (9) Å and anti­parallel C=O⋯C=O inter­actions with a distance of 3.1986 (17) Å, which give rise to a helical supra­molecular architecture.

Monoheme c-type cytochromes are important electron transporters in all domains of life. They possess a common fold hallmarked by three α-helices that surround a covalently attached heme. An intriguing feature of many monoheme c-type cytochromes is their capacity to form oligomers by exchanging at least one of their α-helices, which is often referred to as 3D domain swapping. Here, the crystal structure of NirC, a c-type cytochrome co-encoded with other proteins involved in nitrite reduction by the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, has been determined. The crystals diffracted anisotropically to a maximum resolution of 2.12 Å (spherical resolution of 2.83 Å) and initial phases were obtained by Fe-SAD phasing, revealing the presence of 11 NirC chains in the asymmetric unit. Surprisingly, these protomers arrange into one monomer and two different types of 3D domain-swapped dimers, one of which shows pronounced asymmetry. While the simultaneous observation of monomers and dimers probably reflects the interplay between the high protein concentration required for crystallization and the structural plasticity of monoheme c-type cytochromes, the identification of conserved structural motifs in the monomer together with a comparison with similar proteins may offer new leads to unravel the unknown function of NirC.
