biofilms are a common cause of contaminations in the food or feed industry. In a screening for novel compounds to combat biofilm-associated foodborne outbreaks, we identified agaric acid as a Typhimurium biofilm inhibitor that does not affect planktonic growth. Importantly, the remaining biofilm cells after preventive treatment with agaric acid were significantly more sensitive to the common disinfectant hydrogen peroxide. Screening of a GFP-promoter fusion library of biofilm related genes revealed that agaric acid downregulates the transcription of genes responsible for flagellar motility. Concurrently, swimming motility was completely abrogated in the presence of agaric acid, indicating that biofilm inhibition occurs via interference with the motility phenotype. Moreover, agaric acid also reduced biofilm formation of , and . Agaric acid thus shows potential as an anti-virulence compound that inhibits both motility and biofilm formation.

Interaction of Agaric Acid with the Adenine Nucleotide Translocase Induces Mitochondrial Oxidative Stress.

Authors:
Edmundo Chávez Mabel Buelna-Chontal Arturo Macías-López Luz Hernández-Esquivel Francisco Correa Natalia Pavón

Biochem Res Int 2020 22;2020:5253108. Epub 2020 Dec 22.

Departamento de Farmacología, Instituto Nacional de Cardiología, Ignacio Chávez Ciudad de México, Mexico.

Mitochondrial permeability transition is characterized by the opening of a transmembranal pore that switches membrane permeability from specific to nonspecific. This structure allows the free traffic of ions, metabolites, and water across the mitochondrial inner membrane. The opening of the permeability transition pore is triggered by oxidative stress along with calcium overload. Read More

The effect of N-ethylmaleimide on permeability transition as induced by carboxyatractyloside, agaric acid, and oleate.

Authors:
Noemí García Natalia Pavón Edmundo Chávez

Cell Biochem Biophys 2008 23;51(2-3):81-7. Epub 2008 Jul 23.

Departamento de Bioquímica, Instituto Nacional de Cardiología, Ignacio Chávez, Mexico, D.F., 01480, Mexico.

In this work, we studied the effect of N-ethylmaleimide on permeability transition. The findings indicate that the amine inhibited the effects of carboxyatractyloside and agaric acid. It is known that these reagents interact with the adenine nucleotide carrier through the cytosolic side. Read More

Regulations relating to mycotoxins in food: perspectives in a global and European context.

Authors:
Hans P van Egmond Ronald C Schothorst Marco A Jonker

Anal Bioanal Chem 2007 Sep 17;389(1):147-57. Epub 2007 May 17.

Laboratory for Food and Residue Analysis, National Institute for Public Health and the Environment, P.O. Box 1, 3720 BA, Bilthoven, The Netherlands.

Regulations relating to mycotoxins have been established in many countries to protect the consumer from the harmful effects of these compounds. Different factors play a role in the decision-making process of setting limits for mycotoxins. These include scientific factors, for example the availability of toxicological data and occurrence data, detailed knowledge about possibilities for sampling and analysis, and socio-economic issues.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of arginine modified chitosan or hexadecylated modified chitosan as gene carriers on the cellular uptake by vascular smooth muscle cells and its in vitro cytotoxicity. METHODS Plasmid DNA was labeled with alpha-32P-dATP and complexed with the modified chitosans or unmodified chitosan to form nanoparticle complexes by complex coacervation method. Uptake of all kinds of chitosan/ DNA nanoparticle complexes (CNC) by A10 cells was measured by beta-liquid scintillation counting. Read More
