Meroterpenoids: A Comprehensive Update Insight on Structural Diversity and Biology
Meroterpenoids are secondary metabolites formed due to mixed biosynthetic pathways which are produced in part from a terpenoid co-substrate. These mixed biosynthetically hybrid compounds are widely produced by bacteria, algae, plants, and animals. Notably amazing chemical diversity is generated among meroterpenoids via a combination of terpenoid scaffolds with polyketides, alkaloids, phenols, and amino acids. This review deals with the isolation, chemical diversity, and biological effects of 452 new meroterpenoids reported from natural sources from January 2016 to December 2020. Most of the meroterpenoids possess antimicrobial, cytotoxic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, enzyme inhibitory, and immunosupressive effects.
Exploring the optical soliton and solitary wave solutions for the nonlinear Akbota equation via improved expansion approach
In the present research, we explored the various kinds of optical solitons and many other solitary wave solutions for the nonlinear Akbota equation by utilizing the symbolic computational simulation on the basis of the improved F-expansion approach. The nonlinear Akbota equation has applications in physics and engineering. The examined solitary wave and soliton solutions have interesting physical structures, including anti-kink wave solitons, bright solitons, kink wave solitons, dark solitons, periodic wave solitons, peakon bright solitons, peakon dark solitons, mixed bright–dark periodic solitons, mixed solitons in bright–dark form, and solitary wave structures. The newly extracted soliton solutions in this study shed light on the fact that the utilized approach is more efficient, concise, powerful, effective, straightforward, and simple, and we can also utilize it for other higher order nonlinear complex models. The extracted solutions will be helpful to understand the nonlinear phenomena in various areas of nonlinear sciences and engineering, including quantum physics, laser optics, nonlinear optics, optical fibers, ocean engineering, and electronic engineering. The physical interpretation of the extracted solutions is visualized in two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and contour graphics based on numerical simulation by using the computer software Mathematica. The presented research will be helpful for further investigation of analytical solitary wave and soliton solutions to the complex, higher order nonlinear evolution equations.
