Lamennaisia

description: Lamennaisia Girault 1922
Hosts. Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae, Lathridiidae, Orthoperidae; Lepidoptera: Notodontidae
ambigua (Nees 1834: 239) (Encyrtus)
Type. Probably destroyed (Noyes 1988b)
Distribution. W (Alameda, Alpine, Butte, Calaveras, Colusa, Contra Costa, El Dorado, Fresno, Glenn, Humboldt, Inyo, Kern, Lassen, Los Angeles, Marin, Modoc, Mono, Monterey, Napa, Nevada, Orange, Placer, Plumas, Riverside. Sacramento, San Benito, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Francisco, San Joaquin, San Luis Obispo, San Mateo, Santa Barbara, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Sierra, Siskiyou, Solano, Sonoma, Stanislaus, Tehama, Trinity, Tuolumne and Yolo)
Host/habitat. Bruchus brachialis, Melanophthalma sp.; NEW: Orthoperidae (UCDC), Phryganidia californica (CAS)
Remarks. Lamennaisia ambigua is a cosmopolitan species. This is the encyrtid I have most commonly collected in the state; it is especially abundant in grassy areas, but I have also collected it on trees, woody shrubs and Equisetum (Equisetaceae) species. It is also one of the few encyrtid species that is active throughout the year in California. Besides the hosts recorded above, L. ambigua has also been reared from Medicago sativa (Fabaceae) infested with Bruchophagus roddi Gussakovskiy (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae) (Noyes 1988b). Such a wide range in host taxa is unusual for an encyrtid, and suggests this species may be hyperparasitic. This species was recorded (as Encyrtus dubius) as a parasitoid of Icerya purchasi based on a single specimen that issued from “…a box which contained only adult females of the scale.” (Howard 1889). This record should be regarded as unproven, since alternative hosts might have been present as well.

Remarks. Specimens from an undescribed species were collected in Imperial, Orange and Riverside counties (UCDC, UCRC).

description: Augments in Ihanzu are a set of nominal prefixes which are extremely common, but whose function is rather unclear. This talk presents progress from ongoing collaborative research on the Ihanzu augment, and provides some hypotheses on the precise morphosyntactic characteristics of this grammatical category. Following a brief introduction to the Ihanzu language, and following a helpful organisational framework laid out in van de Velde (2019), the formal properties of the augment in Ihanzu are presented, followed by its functional properties. Occasionally, brief typological summaries are given, placing Ihanzu in a larger cross-Bantu context. It will be shown that the Ihanzu augment does not seem sensitive to distinctions of definiteness or specificity, nor to nouns which are semantically inherently referential. Instead,  and through examining the augment’s behaviour with nouns used to refer, the augment in Ihanzu seems best characterised as interacting with "aboutness topicality”. Specifically, augments in Ihanzu cannot occur on constituents which cannot be aboutness topics. Conversely, augments are permitted (and in at least one case, obligatorily present) on constituents with topic status. Further research is necessary to confirm this “topicality hypothesis”, but these observations provide a useful basis for beginning to understand these pervasive, but difficult-to-define morphemes.

description: In the antibacterial arsenal, β-lactams have held a prominent position, but increasing resistance due to unauthorized use and genetic factors requires new strategies. Combining β-lactamase inhibitors with broad-spectrum β-lactams proves effective in combating this resistance. ESBL producers demand new inhibitors, leading to the exploration of plant-derived secondary metabolites for potent β-lactam antibiotics or alternative inhibitors. Using virtual screening, molecular docking, ADMET analysis, and molecular dynamic simulation, this study actively analyzed the inhibitory activity of figs, cashews, walnuts, and peanuts against SHV-1, NDM-1, KPC-2, and OXA-48 β-lactamases. Using AutoDock Vina, the docking affinities of various compounds for target enzymes were initially screened, revealing 12 bioactive compounds with higher affinities for the target enzymes compared to Avibactam and Tazobactam. Top-scoring metabolites, including Oleanolic acid, Protocatechuic acid, and Tannin, were subjected to MD simulation studies to further analyze the stability of the docked complexes using WebGro. The simulation coordinates, in terms of RMSD, RMSF, SASA, Rg, and hydrogen bonds formed, showed that these phytocompounds are stable enough to retain in the active sites at various orientations. The PCA and FEL analysis also showed the stability of the dynamic motion of Cα residues of phytochemical-bound enzymes. The pharmacokinetic analysis of the top phytochemicals was performed to analyze their bioavailability and toxicity. This study provides new insights into the therapeutic potential of phytochemicals of selected dry fruits and contributes to future experimental studies to identify βL inhibitors from plants.

description: Eight new hybrid constructs containing a series of sulfonamide and 1,2,3-triazole units were designed and synthesized. Anticancer, antioxidant and cholinesterase activities of these hybrid structures were investigated. In our design, the Cu(I)-catalyzed click reaction between N,4-dimethyl-N-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)benzenesulfonamide (6) and aryl azides 8a–h was used. Antioxidant activity values of 9f (IC50: 229.46 ± 0.001 μg/mL) and 9h (IC50: 254.32 ± 0.002 μg/mL) hybrid structures were higher than BHT (IC50: 286.04 ± 0.003 μg/mL) and lower than Ascorbic acid (IC50: 63.53 ± 0.001 μg/mL) and α-Tocopherol (IC50: 203.21 ± 0.002 μg/mL). We determined that the cytotoxic effects of hybrid constructs 9d (IC50: 3.81 ± 0.1084 µM) and 9g (IC50: 4.317 ± 0.0367 µM) against A549 and healthy cell line (HDF) are much better than standard cisplatin (IC50: 6.202 ± 0.0705 µM). It was determined that the AChE inhibitory activities of all synthesized compounds were much better than Galantamine used as a standard. In particular, 9c (IC50: 13.81 ± 0.0026 mM) had ten times better activity than the standard Galantamine (IC50: 136 ± 0.008 mM). The ADMET properties of the molecules have been thoroughly examined and met the criteria for drug-like substances. They also have a high oral absorption rate, as they can effectively cross the blood–brain barrier and are easily absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. In vitro experiments were confirmed by in silico molecular docking studies. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: Subgenus Osmia (Erythrosmia) Schmiedeknecht, 1885
Morphological diagnosis
Osmia (Erythrosmia) species are nonmetallic, robust and small to medium-sized bees (5.5–8 mm) with short-linear parapsidal lines, a medially keeled to weakly spined metanotum, which, however, is often not evident in O. sparsipuncta Alfken and smaller individuals of the other species, a dull basal area of the propodeum and almost lacking to weak whitish tergal hair bands. Except for O. (Allosmia) rutila Erichson, O. (Hoplosmia) fallax Pérez and O. (Neosmia) rufigastra Lepeletier, they are the only Palaearctic representatives of the genus Osmia with a partly or completely red metasoma (Fig. 24). The females are further characterized by a pollen-harvesting comb of apically twistes bristles on clypeus and frons (Fig. 25, 26) and a whitish metasomal scopa.Additional characters of the males are a rather small tergum 7, whose apical margin is truncated, emarginate or weakly four-lobed (Fig. 30–33), and a pair of broad depressions at the base of sternum 6. As in most males of Osmia, tergum 6 is devoid of a lateral tooth, sternum 2 is enlarged, sternum 3 is medially both emarginate and fringed and sternum 6 lacks membraneous basal flaps.

description: The breast cancer susceptibility gene 1/2 (BRCA1/2) are the key regulators in maintaining the genomic integrity and mutations in these genes have been associated with development of breast and ovarian cancers. Also, synthetic lethality has been shown in BRCA1/2 deficient cancers, when the RAD52 gene is silenced by shRNA or small molecules aptamers, suggesting a role for RAD52 in the breast cancers pathogenesis. Thus, to find the potential inhibitors of RAD52, a collection of 21,000 compounds from the ChemBridge screening library was screened to conduct molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation (MD) against RAD52. Further, the results were validated by a density functional theory (DFT) analysis and using post-dynamics free energy calculations. Out of all screened molecules, the docking study revealed five compounds were found to have promising activities against RAD52. Moreover, the catalytic amino acid residues of RAD52 developed stable contacts with compound 8758 and 10593, as anticipated by DFT calculation, MD simulation, and post dynamics MM-GBSA energy calculation. It appears that compound 8758 is the best inhibitor against RAD52 followed by 10593 compared to the other top hits, in terms of the HOMO orbital energy (-1.0966 eV and −1.2136 eV) from DFT and the post dynamics binding free energy calculation (-54.71 and −52.43 Kcal/mol). Furthermore, a drug-like properties of lead molecules (8758 and 10593) were also seen via ADMET analysis. Based on our computational analysis, we hypothesize that a small molecule 8758 and 10593 possess the therapeutic potential in the management for breast cancer patients with a BRCA mutation via targeting RAD52.

Host/habitat. Eulecanium tiliae, Parthenolecanium corni, P. fletcheri, P. quercifex
Remarks. This species has a Nearctic distribution, and is only reliably recorded from Coccidae (Noyes 2001). There is a single record of it from Brazil (de Santis 1980: 195), which appears to be based on an earlier Brazilian catalog by Araújo e Silva et al. (1968). However, in the earlier work M. claripennis was not recorded from Brazilunder Encyrtidae (pp. 599–600) they list only 5 described species, three of which are now placed under Tanaostigmatidae. Instead this species is simply cited (page 100, as Microterys claripennis) as a parasitoid of Aetalion reticulatum (Linnaeus) (Hemiptera: Aetalionidae). In my opinion, this is a dubious host record (no other encyrtids have been recorded parasitizing this family, and only Prionomastix has been recorded as attacking the closely related Membracidae). Sugonjaev & Trjapitzin (1988) opine that M. claripennis is actually a secondary parasitoid via Encyrtus fuscus, based on two lines of thought. The first is the incidence of hyperparasitism in closely related species, including the congeneric M. truncatipennis (Ferrière); however, the latter species has since been placed in the genus Blastothrix. The second is Compere’s unpublished notes from 1911–1912, although they note that Compere (1928) later stated nothing was known of the status (i.e.: a primary or secondary parasitoid) of M. claripennis. Thus its status remains unknown. Undetermined specimens of this genus have also been collected from Lassen, Marin and Yolo counties (CSCA, EMEC).

description: The drugs fighting against aggressive fungal infections are in limited number, therefore, extensive research is obligatory to develop new therapeutic strategies. Fluconazole (FLZ) is a clinically approved drug, but resistant drug against most fungal pathogens, thus it is vital to identify more compounds that can better check the fungal growth. Analogue-based drug designing is a quick and economical way since it has inherent drug-like properties of marketed drugs. This study aims to generate and evaluate analogues of FLZ with better potency against fungal-borne infections. A total of 3307 analogues of FLZ were developed from six scaffold structures. Only 390 compounds passed Lipinski’s rule, of which 247 analogues exhibited lower docking scores than FLZ with 5FSA. These inhibitors were further subjected to pharmacokinetics property evaluation and cytotoxicity test and it was found that only 46 analogues were suitable for further evaluation. Based on the molecular docking score of the best two analogues, 6f (−12.7 kcal/mol) and 8f (−12.8 kcal/mol) were selected for molecular dynamics and in-vitro studies. Antifungal activities of both compounds against 4 strains of Candida albicans were evaluated by disc diffusion assay and micro broth dilution assay and Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) for 6f and 8f were observed as 256 µg/ml against 4719, 4918 and 5480 strains but the MIC was extended to 512 µg/ml for strain 3719. Both analogues exhibited low antifungal activities as compared to FLZ (8–16 µg/ml). The interaction of 6f with Mycostatin was also performed using a chequerboard assay that was found additive.

Remarks. Despite its small size, this is an easily recognized species, and since the mid 1990s, I have often swept it from grass in many areas throughout the state. However, the first published record of this species from California wasn’t until 1988 (Noyes 1988b), and the earliest record I found from the state was from Orange County (UCRC) in 1983, suggesting it is a relatively recent introduction. The species is probably Palearctic in origin, and now occurs in New Zealand as well as throughout the Holarctic region (Noyes 2001). It may have been unintentionally introduced into southern California in a shipment of parasitized mealybugs from Taiwan in 1951 (Zuparko 1995a).

description: The novel hybrids with 1,2,3-triazole and polyhydroquinoline scaffolds were successfully synthesized by multicomponent reaction of propargyloxybenzaldehyde, 1,3-cyclohexadione, ethylacetoacetate and ammonium acetate followed through click reaction in the presence of deep eutectic solvent ChCl/ZnCl2 as an efficient catalyst. Their anti-leishmanial activity was evaluated against amastigote and promastigote forms of L. tropica, L. major, and two different species of L. infantum. Furthermore, to determine the cytotoxicity of the hybrids, they were evaluated against the murine macrophage cell line J774.A1. Based on the results, three hybrids showed the highest antileishmanial activity. However, they revealed low cytotoxicity. Hybrid 6j was the most potent compound against both the forms of all leishmanial types, with IC50 = 13.5 and 11.9 µg/mL for L. major, 37.5 and 25 µg/mL for L. tropica, 17.5 and 20 µg/mL for L. infantum (MCAN/IR//96/LON49) and 35.5 and 30 µg/mL for L. infantum (MCAN/ES/98/LIM-877), respectively. Finally, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations were also performed to identify possible mechanism antileishmanial activity. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: Obesity and diabetes are commonly associated with one another and represent a significant global health issue, with a recent surge in disease incidence. Nigella sativa, also known as black cumin, is believed to possess several health benefits, including anti-diabetic, anticancer, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-obesity properties. In this study, we aimed to identify the active compounds derived from N. sativa, which can potentially inhibit key protein targets and signaling pathways associated with diabesity treatment. We employed an exhaustive in silico search, which led to the identification of 22 potential compounds. Out of these, only five hits were found to be non-toxic, including Arabic and ascorbic acids, dihydrocodeine, catechin, and kaempferol. Our analysis revealed that these hits were associated with genes such as AKT1, IL6, SRC, and EGFR. Finally, we conducted molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations, which identified kaempferol as the best binder for AKT1 in comparison to the reference molecule. Overall, our in silico integrated pipeline provides a useful approach to identify non-toxic phytocompounds as promising drug candidates to treat diabetes and obesity. Communicated by Ramaswamy H.
