The structure-antimicrobial relation of depsipeptides

Zusammenfassung Die Beziehungen zwischen Struktur und antimikrobieller Aktivität in der Reihe der Depsipeptide wurden untersucht. Cyclotetradepsipeptide sind praktisch inaktiv. Die grösste Aktivität besitzen die Cyclohexadepsipeptide mit regulärer Oxy- und Aminosäurensequenz. Eine weitere Vergrösserung des Depsipeptidringes führt zu einem Abfall der biologischen Aktivität. Cyclohexadepsipeptide mit irregulärer Oxy- und Aminosäurensequenz sind völlig inaktiv.

A new early cretaceous dinosaur track assemblage and the first definite non-avian theropod swim trackway from China

The trackway of a swimming theropod (ichnogenus Characichnos) is reported from the Lower Cretaceous Feitianshan Formation of Sichuan, China. These swim tracks help confirm that non-avian theropods were capable of forging moderately deep bodies of water. The trackway occurs on the same surface as a typical walking trackway of a sauropod (ichnogenus Brontopodus). Both occurrences are the first reported from the Cretaceous of Sichuan, and the swim tracks are the first well-preserved example of a Characichnos trackway from China. Additionally, a theropod walking trackway and several ornithopod walking trackways (similar to the ichnogenus Caririchnium) occur in the same horizon. The ornithopod trackways show a parallel orientation, suggesting gregarious behavior of the trackmakers, which may have been iguanodontiforms and/or hadrosauriforms. The co-occurrence of theropod swim tracks and theropod walking tracks suggests a fluctuation of water depth within a distinct time span.
