Phenylacetyl-coenzyme A (CoA) is a key intermediate in aerobic catabolism of phenylacetate in bacteria such asPseudomonas, when cultured in minimal media using phenylacetate as the sole carbon source.1It is a precursor in the synthesis of the antibiotic penicillin G found in industrial strains ofP. chrysogenum. Phenylacetyl-CoA also acts as an effector molecule of the TetR family transcriptional repressor PaaR inT. thermophilusand the GntR family transcriptional regulator PaaX inE. coliandPseudomonas, binding to each protein to induce derepression of various genes.2
Dehydroandrographolide succinate (potassium sodiumsalt), derived from the herbal medicine Andrographis paniculata (Burm f) Nees, is a versatile compound highly utilized for the treatment of viral pneumonia and viral upper respiratory tract infections due to its potent immunostimulatory, anti-infective, and anti-inflammatory properties.
UDP-Glucuronic acid is a nucleoside diphosphate sugar that is a source of glucuronic acid for polysaccharide biosynthesis. This compound can be used for the formation of many glucuronides with various aglycones.1 1.Green, M.D., and Tephly, T.R.Glucuronidation of amine substrates by purified and expressed UDP-glucuronosyltransferase proteinsDrug Metab.
