“…Quercetin [ 31 ], pinocembrin [ 32 , 33 ], pogostone [ 34 ], adenosine [ 35 ], ferulic acid [ 36 ], echimidine-N-oxide [ 37 ], purines including adenine, guanine, xanthine and hypoxanthine [ 38 , 39 , 40 ] have strong antibacterial or antifungal effects on diarrheal pathogens, such as Escherichia coli , Salmonella , Staphylococcus aureus , Dysentery bacilli , Pseudomonas aeruginosa , Streptococcus and Clostridioides difficile , in addition, hypoxanthine can speed the excretion of fecal harmful microbiota and toxic substances via shorting gastrointestinal transit time [ 41 ]. Pro-inflammatory substances can also cause diarrhea by impairing the intestinal mucosal barrier with pro-inflammatory cytokines [ 42 ], but quercetin [ 31 ], arteannuin and kynurenine [ 43 , 44 ], ferulic acid [ 45 ], purines [ 46 ], inosine [ 47 , 48 ], guanosine [ 49 ] and benzene-1,2,4-triol [ 50 ] can reduce diarrhea by increasing IFN-γ level or inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines [ 48 , 51 , 52 , 53 ]. Supplementation with Perilla frutescens leaf to Holstein cows changed the composition of differential metabolites in the milk and many differential metabolites with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects had been identified [ 17 ], results of our experiment also indicated that maternal supplementation with fermented compound Chinese medicine feed additive accumulated lots of high-level differential metabolites in milk which have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and immune enhancing properties.…”
