Effect of Amine, Carboxyl, or Thiol Functionalization of Mesoporous Silica Particles on Their Efficiency as a Quercetin Delivery System in Simulated Gastrointestinal Conditions. Foods 2024; 13:1208. [PMID: 38672881 PMCID: PMC11048906 DOI: 10.3390/foods13081208] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2024] [Revised: 04/04/2024] [Accepted: 04/14/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Quercetin (Q) dietary supplements exhibit poor oral bioavailability because of degradation throughout gastrointestinal digestion (GD), which may be overcome using mesoporous silica particles (MSPs) as an oral delivery system (ODS). This study aimed to elucidate the effect of the functionalization of MSPs with amine-(A-MSP), carboxyl-(C-MSP), or thiol-(T-MSP) groups on their efficiency as a quercetin ODS (QODS). The type and degree of functionalization (DF) were used as factors in an experimental design. The Q-loaded F-MSP (F-MSP/Q) was characterized by gas physisorption analysis, loading capacity (LC), and dynamic light scattering and kinetics of Q release at gastric and intestinal pHs. Antioxidant capacity and Q concentration of media containing F-MSP/Q were evaluated after simulated GD. A-MSP showed the highest LC (19.79 ± 2.42%). C-MSP showed the lowest particle size at pH 1.5 or 7.4 (≈200 nm). T-MSP exhibited the maximum Q release at pH 7.4 (11.43%). High DF of A-MSP increased Q retention, regardless of pH. A-MSP preserved antioxidant capacity of Q-released gastric media (58.95 ± 3.34%). Nonetheless, MSP and F-MSP did not protect antioxidant properties of Q released in intestinal conditions. C-MSP and T-MSP showed essential features for cellular uptake and Q release within cells that need to be assessed.

The Potential Effects of Quercetin-Loaded Nanoliposomes on Amoxicillin/Clavulanate-Induced Hepatic Damage: Targeting the SIRT1/Nrf2/NF-κB Signaling Pathway and Microbiota Modulation. Antioxidants (Basel) 2023; 12:1487. [PMID: 37627483 PMCID: PMC10451903 DOI: 10.3390/antiox12081487] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2023] [Revised: 07/16/2023] [Accepted: 07/19/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Amoxicillin/clavulanate (Co-Amox), a commonly used antibiotic for the treatment of bacterial infections, has been associated with drug-induced liver damage. Quercetin (QR), a naturally occurring flavonoid with pleiotropic biological activities, has poor water solubility and low bioavailability. The objective of this work was to produce a more bioavailable formulation of QR (liposomes) and to determine the effect of its intraperitoneal pretreatment on the amelioration of Co-Amox-induced liver damage in male rats. Four groups of rats were defined: control, QR liposomes (QR-lipo), Co-Amox, and Co-Amox and QR-lipo. Liver injury severity in rats was evaluated for all groups through measurement of serum liver enzymes, liver antioxidant status, proinflammatory mediators, and microbiota modulation. The results revealed that QR-lipo reduced the severity of Co-Amox-induced hepatic damage in rats, as indicated by a reduction in serum liver enzymes and total liver antioxidant capacity. In addition, QR-lipo upregulated antioxidant transcription factors SIRT1 and Nrf2 and downregulated liver proinflammatory signatures, including IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α, NF-κB, and iNOS, with upregulation in the anti-inflammatory one, IL10. QR-lipo also prevented Co-Amox-induced gut dysbiosis by favoring the colonization of Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and Bacteroides over Clostridium and Enterobacteriaceae. These results suggested that QR-lipo ameliorates Co-Amox-induced liver damage by targeting SIRT1/Nrf2/NF-κB and modulating the microbiota.

Changes in the Quality of Myofibrillar Protein Gel Damaged by High Doses of Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate as Affected by the Addition of Amylopectin. Foods 2023; 12:foods12091790. [PMID: 37174328 PMCID: PMC10178102 DOI: 10.3390/foods12091790] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2023] [Revised: 04/12/2023] [Accepted: 04/19/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023] Open
Abstract
This work investigated the improvement of amylopectin addition on the quality of myofibrillar proteins (MP) gel damaged by high doses of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG, 80 μM/g protein). The results found that the addition of amylopectin partially alleviated the unfolding of MP induced by oxidation and EGCG, and enhanced the structural stability of MP. Amylopectin blocked the loss of the free amine group and thiol group, and increased the solubility of MP from 7.0% to 9.5%. The carbonyl analysis demonstrated that amylopectin addition did not weaken the antioxidative capacity of EGCG. It was worth noting that amylopectin significantly improved the gel properties of MP treated with a high dose of EGCG. The cooking loss was reduced from 51.2% to 35.5%, and the gel strength was reduced from 0.41 N to 0.29 N after adding high concentrations of amylopectin (A:E(8:1)). This was due to that amylopectin filled the network of MP gel after absorbing water and changed into a swelling state, and partially reduced interactions between EGCG and oxidized MP. This study indicated that amylopectin could be used to increase the polyphenol loads to provide a more lasting antioxidant effect for meat products and improve the deterioration of gel quality caused by oxidation and high doses of EGCG.

Abstract
Polyphenolic aglycones featuring two sugars individually attached via C-glycosidic linkage (di-C-glycosides) represent a rare class of plant natural products with unique physicochemical properties and biological activities. Natural scarcity of such di-C-glycosides limits their use-inspired exploration as pharmaceutical ingredients. Here, we show a biocatalytic process technology for reaction-intensified production of the di-C-β-glucosides of two representative phenol substrates, phloretin (a natural flavonoid) and phenyl-trihydroxyacetophenone (a phenolic synthon for synthesis), from sucrose. The synthesis proceeds via an iterative two-fold C-glycosylation of the respective aglycone, supplied as inclusion complex with 2-hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin for enhanced water solubility of up to 50 mmol/L, catalyzed by a kumquat di-C-glycosyltransferase (di-CGT), and it uses UDP-Glc provided in situ from sucrose by a soybean sucrose synthase, with catalytic amounts (≤3 mol%) of UDP added. Time course analysis reveals the second C-glycosylation as rate-limiting (0.4-0.5 mmol/L/min) for the di-C-glucoside production. With internal supply from sucrose keeping the UDP-Glc at a constant steady-state concentration (≥50% of the UDP added) during the reaction, the di-C-glycosylation is driven to completion (≥95% yield). Contrary to the mono-C-glucoside intermediate which is stable, the di-C-glucoside requires the addition of reducing agent (10 mmol/L 2-mercaptoethanol) to prevent its decomposition during the synthesis. Both di-C-glucosides are isolated from the reaction mixtures in excellent purity (≥95%), and their expected structures are confirmed by NMR. Collectively, this study demonstrates efficient glycosyltransferase cascade reaction for flexible use in natural product di-C-β-glucoside synthesis from expedient substrates.

Abstract
As a natural pigment in food, quercetin possesses multiple biological activities and plays a crucial role in regulating metabolic syndrome. Herein, we aim to explore the potential mechanism of quercetin to ameliorate hepatic fat accumulation. In vivo experiments showed that quercetin significantly relieved inflammation response by decreasing the serum TNF-α and IL-6 levels and also improved high-fat diet-induced hepatic steatosis without other organ injuries. Quercetin can effectively reduce lipid aggregation and down-regulate the protein expression of PCK1 in HepG2 cells induced by oleic acid and palmitic acid, indicating that inhibiting gluconeogenesis leads to hepatic fat accumulation reduction. Furthermore, molecular docking results suggested that quercetin can bind to both PPARα and PPARγ, with an even more potent binding affinity than indeglitazar, a pan-agonist of PPARs. In conclusion, quercetin may regulate gluconeogenesis to ameliorate hepatic fat accumulation via targeting PPARα/γ.

Abstract
Anti-cancer drugs are mostly limited in their use due to poor physicochemical and biopharmaceutical properties. Their lower solubility is the most common hurdle limiting their use upto their potential. In the recent years, the cyclodextrin (CD) complexation have emerged as existing approach to overcome the problem of poor solubility. CD-based nano-technological approaches are safe, stable and showed well in vivo tolerance and greater payload for encapsulation of hydrophobic drugs for the targeted delivery. They are generally chosen due to their ability to get self-assembled to form liposomes, nanoparticles, micelles and nano-sponges etc. This review paper describes a birds-eye view of the various CD-based nano-technological approaches applied for the delivery of anti-cancer moieties to the desired target such as CD based liposomes, niosomes, niosoponges, micelles, nanoparticles, monoclonal antibody, magnetic nanoparticles, small interfering RNA, nanorods, miscellaneous formulation of anti-cancer drugs containing CD. Moreover, the author also summarizes the various shortcomings of such a system and their way ahead.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Quercetin, a member of the flavanol family found in many fruits, vegetables, leaves and grains has been found to have a wide range of biological effects on human physiology. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of quercetin, when administered orally in the form of the water-soluble inclusion complex with hydroxypropyl-b-cyclodextrin (Que-HP-β-CD), in an experimental model of ulcerative colitis in mice. Materials and Methods: Animals received either Dextran Sodium Sulphate (DSS), to induce colitis, + Que-HP-β-CD (Group A), DSS alone (Group B) or no intervention (control, Group C) for 7 days. All animals were weighed daily, and evaluation of colitis was performed using the Disease Activity Index (DAI). On day 7 a blood sample was taken from all animals, they were then euthanised, the large intestine was measured, and histological and immunochemical analyses were performed. Results: The DAI demonstrated an increase over time for the groups receiving DSS (Groups A and B) compared with the control group (Group C), with a significant degree of protection being observed in the group that also received quercetin (Group A): The DAI over time slope for Group B was higher than that for Group A by 0.26 points/day (95% Cl 0.20−0.33, p < 0.01). Weight calculations and immunohistochemistry results validated the DAI findings. Conclusions: In conclusion, the administration of quercetin in an ulcerative colitis model in mice presents a therapeutic/prophylactic potential that warrants further investigation.

Abstract
This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the effects of the application timing of anti-erosive agents on dentin erosion. Eighty dentin specimens with dimensions of 2 × 2 × 2 mm were prepared and randomly divided into 4 groups based on the treatment solutions: 1.23 × 104 μg/ml sodium fluoride (NaF), 120 μg/ml chlorhexidine (CHX), 300 μg/ml quercetin (QUE), and deionized water (DW, negative control). The specimens in each group were further divided into 2 subgroups according to the application timing of the treatment solutions (n = 10): before the erosive challenges (PRE) and after the erosive challenges (POST). All specimens were submitted to 4 daily erosive challenges for 5 d. For each erosive challenge, the specimens in the subgroup PRE were treated with the respective solutions for 2 min and then immersed in cola drinks for 5 min, while the specimens in the subgroup POST were immersed in cola drinks for 5 min followed by treatment with the respective solutions for 2 min. The erosive dentin loss (EDL) was measured using a contact profilometer, and the surface morphology of the dentin specimens was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy at the end of the experiment. The data were statistically analyzed using two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Bonferroni's test (α = 0.05). Significantly less EDL was observed in the groups NaF, CHX, and QUE than in the group DW (all P < 0.001). Significantly lower EDL was observed in the groups CHX and QUE than in the group NaF (P = 0.001 and P < 0.001, respectively). For CHX, subgroup POST exhibited significantly less EDL than subgroup PRE (P < 0.001). Regarding QUE, subgroup PRE showed significantly less EDL than subgroup POST (P < 0.001). Furthermore, a relatively greater number of obliterated dentinal tubules was visible in the subgroup POST rather than in the subgroup PRE of the group CHX, while in the group QUE, narrower dentinal tubules were observed in the subgroup PRE than those in subgroup POST. In conclusion, CHX and QUE showed the best performance in controlling dentin erosion. CHX was more effective in reducing EDL when applied after erosive challenges, whereas QUE worked more effectively when used before erosive attacks. The application timing should be considered when evaluating the effects of anti-erosive agents because it may determine their effectiveness.

Abstract
We previously identified 4-propylguaiacol to be a highly potent repellent against Rhipicephalus appendiculatus, which transmits East Coast Fever in cattle. So far, the major method that has been employed for tick control is the use of acaricides, which so far has posed a number of challenges. Encapsulation technology may offer a long-term solution to the existing problems by dispensing the repellent at a controlled rate. 4-Propylguaiacol was encapsulated in various nanoparticles, which included β-cyclodextrin, ethyl cellulose, and polyvinylpyrrolidone. The inclusion of 4-propyl guaiacol in the resulting complexes was confirmed by FT-IR, XRD, and SEM analysis. All the sharp peaks belonging to each of the encapsulating polymers were observed. However, some of the characteristic peaks of 4-propylguaiacol disappeared in the complex formed. The rates and duration of release of 4-propylguaiacol from 0.2 g of each inclusion complex were then compared at 38–40°C every 3 hours for 24 hrs. The observed rates of release for 4-propylguaiacol were 0.396 mg/hr., 0.632 mg/hr., and 0.648 mg/hr. Rate from β-cyclodextrin, ethyl cellulose, and PVP inclusion complexes, respectively. The release rate of 4-propylguaiacol in the β-cyclodextrin complex was more controlled than it was in ethyl cellulose and PVP complexes. This controlled release rate exhibited by the β-cyclodextrin complex in small doses for a relatively long time provides a potential tool for dispensing repellents on cattle to protect them from tick bites.

Abstract
The complexation of herbal constituents with cyclodextrin has been a useful tool to improve their aqueous solubility. However, the simultaneous complexation of these compounds still lacks detailed studies. The present study investigated the multicomplexation of quercetin (QCT), luteolin (LUT), and 3-O-methylquercetin (3OMQ) with (2-hydroxypropyl)-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD), when they are simultaneously contained in a flavonoid-enriched fraction (FEF) of Achyrocline satureioides. The phase-solubility diagram revealed a linear correlation between the flavonoids solubility and the HPβCD concentration, demonstrating the formation of complexes with a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio, which was confirmed by ESI-MS. Negative ΔG0 values indicated that complexation was spontaneous. Flavonoids/HPβCD interactions were evidenced by FT-IR, DSC, SEM, and 1D and 2D NMR. The last one showed the formation of inclusion complexes by insertion of the B-ring of the flavonoids into the cavity of HPβCD. Unexpectedly, the FEF/HPβCD complex showed a radical scavenger potential lower than the FEF. The HPLC analysis revealed that the complex contained different flavonoid ratio than the fraction. Thus, the antioxidant capacity of the samples was demonstrated to be related to the ratio among the flavonoids, rather than to the total flavonoids. These new findings are very useful for developing herbal cyclodextrin-based products from A. satureioides or other herbal products.

Abstract
Transglycosylation has been used to modify the physicochemical properties of original compounds. As a result, transglycosylated compounds can form molecular aggregates in size ranges of a few nanometers in an aqueous medium when their concentrations exceed a specific level. Incorporating these hydrophobic compounds has been observed to enhance the solubility of hydrophobic compounds into aggregate structures. Thus, this review introduces four transglycosylated compounds as food additives that can enhance the solubility and oral absorption of hydrophobic compounds. Here, transglycosylated hesperidin, transglycosylated rutin, transglycosylated naringin, and transglycosylated stevia are the focus as representative substances. Significantly, we observed that amorphous formations containing hydrophobic compounds with transglycosylated compounds improved solubility and oral absorption compared to untreated hydrophobic compounds. Moreover, combining transglycosylated compounds with hydrophilic polymers or surfactants enhanced the solubilizing effects on hydrophobic compounds. Furthermore, the enhanced solubility of hydrophobic compounds improved their oral absorption. Transglycosylated compounds also influenced nanoparticle preparation of hydrophobic compounds as a dispersant. This study demonstrated the benefits of transglycosylated compounds in developing supplements and nutraceuticals of hydrophobic compounds with poor aqueous solubility.

Abstract
Protocatechuic aldehyde (PCAL) and protocatechuic acid (PCAC) are catechol derivatives and have broad therapeutic effects associated with their antiradical activity. Their pharmacological and physicochemical properties have been improved via the cyclodextrin (CD) encapsulation. Because the characteristics of β-CD inclusion complexes with PCAL (1) and PCAC (2) are still equivocal, we get to the bottom of the inclusion complexation by an integrated study of single-crystal X-ray diffraction and DFT full-geometry optimization. X-ray analysis unveiled that PCAL and PCAC are nearly totally shielded in the β-CD wall. Their aromatic rings are vertically aligned in the β-CD cavity such that the functional groups on the opposite side of the ring (3,4-di(OH) and 1-CHO/1-COOH groups) are placed nearby the O6–H and O2–H/O3–H rims, respectively. The preferred inclusion modes in 1 and 2 help to establish crystal contacts of OH⋅⋅⋅O H-bonds with the adjacent β-CD OH groups and water molecules. By contrast, the DFT-optimized structures of both complexes in the gas phase are thermodynamically stable via the four newly formed host–guest OH⋯O H-bonds. The intermolecular OH⋅⋅⋅O H-bonds between PCAL/PCAC 3,4-di(OH) and β-CD O6–H groups, and the shielding of OH groups in the β-CD wall help to stabilize these antioxidants in the β-CD cavity, as observed in our earlier studies. Moreover, PCAL and PCAC in distinct lattice environments are compared for insights into their structural flexibility.

Abstract
This review highlights main bioactive compounds and important biological functions especially anticancer effects of the garlic. In addition, we review current literature on the stability and bioavailability of garlic components. Finally, this review aims to provide a potential strategy for using nanotechnology to increase the stability and solubility of garlic components, providing guidelines for the qualities of garlic products to improve their absorption and prevent their early degradation, and extend their circulation time in the body. The application of nanotechnology to improve the bioavailability and targeting of garlic compounds are expected to provide a theoretical basis for the functional components of garlic to treat human health. We review the improvement of bioavailability and bioactivity of garlic bioactive compounds via nanotechnology, which could promisingly overcome the limitations of conventional garlic products, and would be used to prevent and treat cancer and other diseases in the near future.

Abstract
pH-sensitive drug delivery systems based on amphiphilic copolymers constitute a promising strategy to overcome some challenges to cancer treatment. In the present study, quercetin-loaded chitosan/polyvinylpyrrolidone/γ-Alumina nanocomposite was fabricated through a double oil in water emulsification method for the first time. γ-Alumina was incorporated to improve the drug loading efficiency and release behavior of polyvinylpyrrolidone and chitosan copolymeric hydrogel. γ-Alumina nanoparticles were obtained by the sol-gel method with a nanoporous structure, high surface area, and hydroxyl-rich surface. Quercetin, a natural anticancer agent, was loaded into the nanocomposite as a drug model. XRD and FTIR analyses confirmed the crystalline properties and chemical bonding of the prepared nanocomposite. The size of drug-loaded nanocomposites was 141 nm with monodisperse particle distribution, having a spherical shape approved by DLS analysis and FE-SEM, respectively. Incorporating γ-Alumina nanoparticles improved the encapsulation efficiency up to 95%. Besides, swelling study and the quercetin release profile demonstrated that γ-Alumina ameliorated pH sensitivity of nanocomposite and a targeted controlled release was obtained. Various release kinetic models were applied to the experimental release data to study the mechanism of drug release. Through MTT assay and flow cytometry, the quercetin-loaded nanocomposite showed significant cytotoxicity on MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Also, the enhanced apoptotic cell death confirmed the anticancer activity of γ-Alumina. These results suggest that the chitosan/polyvinylpyrrolidone/γ-Alumina nanocomposite is a novel pH-sensitive drug delivery system for anticancer applications.

Abstract
At present, saccharides as hydrophilic matrixes, have been gradually used in amorphous solid dispersions (ASD) for dispersing poorly water-soluble drugs without surfactants. In this study, an amorphous chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) was applied as a water-soluble matrix to form surfactant-free ASD via the ball milling to vitrify quercetin (QUE) and enhance the dissolution and bioavailability. Solid-state characterization (DSC, XRPD, FTIR, SEM and PLM) and physical stability assessments verified that the prepared ASDs showed excellent physical stability with complete amorphization due to potential interactions between QUE and COS. In vitro sink dissolution tests suggested all QUE-COS ASDs (w:w, 1:1, 1:2 and 1:4) significantly enhanced the dissolution rate of QUE. Meanwhile, in vitro non-sink dissolution exhibited that the maximum supersaturated concentration ranged from 112.62 to 138.00 µg/mL for all QUE-COS ASDs, which was much higher than that of pure QUE. Besides, the supersaturation of QUE-COS ASD kept for at least 24 h. In rat pharmacokinetics, the oral bioavailability of QUE-COS ASDs showed 1.64 ∼ 2.25 times increase compared to the pure QUE (p < .01). Hence, the present study confirms the amorphous COS could be applied as a promising hydrophilic matrix in QUE-COS ASDs for enhancing dissolution performance and bioavailability of QUE.

Abstract
Nano-gold (Aunps) have emerged as promising options that exhibit unique features discrete from traditional materials suited for biomedical applications. Aunps were synthesized using flavonoid quercetin (Q) as reducing agent, and resultant nanoparticles were further conjugated with the flavonoid. The resultant nano-system was expected to perform a dual role as antibacterial and as antioxidant agent. Nano-gold surface plasmon peaks were recorded at 560 nm with size around 62 nm and having slim distribution pattern. Spherical particle with smooth surface was observed under TEM and AFM studies. TEM micrographs confirmed a homogeneous particle population of size around 30 nm. Quercetin association to nano-gold was corroborated through FTIR and EDAX analysis. Antioxidant nature of nano-gold prevented rapid oxidation of brilliant cresyl blue dye, in presence of sodium hypochlorite. Antimicrobial action of QuAunp was tested against Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli. Nano-gold designed produced a minimum inhibitory concentration of 7.6 μg/ml and minimum bactericidal concentration 10.5 μg/ml against E. coli. Further TEM analysis and membrane permeability studies revealed the impact of QuAunps on bacterial membrane leading to cell damage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bioflavonoids, secondary metabolites of plants, are beneficial in regulating human physiological mechanisms. Bioflavonoids majorly exist in the dietary intake of fruits, vegetables, legumes, pulses, etc. In addition to their cardio-protective and neuroprotective activities, they also possess prominent pharmacological effects including anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative and anti-thrombogenic actions. However, therapeutic efficacy of the bioflavonoids is hampered by their lipophilic nature, low solubility and variable bioavailability which catch the eyes of formulation scientists. PURPOSE Nanocrystal formulations were studied for many bioflavonoids, although enough attention has not been given to their commercial exploitation, unlike drug nanocrystals. Nanocrystals of bioflavonoid can be prepared by top-down technique, bottom-up technique or combination of both. This review primarily focuses on nanocrystal technology for bioflavonoids, methods of production, critical process parameters, in vitro and in vivo studies conducted to evaluate the efficiency. METHOD The detailed literature survey was systematically carried out using different electronic databases. It includes Scopus, Web of Science, Medline via PubMed, EMBASE, and Google Scholar. Also up-to-date patent search was conducted to understand the prior art and available intellectual properties. RESULT AND CONCLUSION It was observed that several formulation and process parameters have an impact on flavonoids nanocrystals and their therapeutic efficacy. Also, clinical studies of flavonoid nanocrystals are barely done so far and thus, substantial safety and efficacy data is necessary for its commercial applications. Nevertheless, nanocrystals can be explored as a promising technology platform for improving overall therapeutic performance of flavonoids in future.

Abstract
Curcumin is a powerful scavenger of reactive oxygen species and could prevent the corneal cells from oxidative damage. However, the clinical efficacy of curcumin is limited by its low aqueous solubility and stability, leading to poor bioavailability. β-cyclodextrin, with a hydrophilic surface and a hydrophobic cavity and self-assembling properties, can form inclusion complexes with lipophilic drugs such as curcumin for ocular delivery. We synthesized ethylene diamine (EDA)-modified β-cyclodextrin and prepared the curcumin complexation using the solvent evaporation method. The EDA-β-cyclodextrin provided a better thermodynamic stability and higher complex yield for curcumin complexes, compared to β-cyclodextrin, which were demonstrated on the analysis of their van't Hoff plots and phase solubility diagrams. We characterized EDA-β-cyclodextrin curcumin nanoparticles and determined that the EDA modified β-cyclodextrin is a more suitable carrier than parental β-cyclodextrin, using FT-IR, XRD, TEM, and analyses of solubility and storage stability. In addition, the curcumin-EDA-β-cyclodextrin nanoparticles had better in vitro corneal penetration and 3 -h cumulative flux in a porcine cornea experiment, and displayed an improved biocompatibility, confirmed by the histological examination of porcine corneas and cell viability of bovine corneal epithelial cells. These results together revealed a role of EDA modification in the β-cyclodextrin carrier, including the improvement of curcumin complex formation, thermodynamic properties, cytotoxicity, and the in vitro corneal penetration. The EDA-β-cyclodextrin inclusion can provide curcumin a higher degree of aqueous solubility and corneal permeability.

Abstract
It has been increasingly important to develop a highly sensitive and selective technique that is easy to handle in detecting levels of beneficial or hazardous analytes in trace quantity. In this study, mono-6-deoxy-6-aminopropylamino-β-cyclodextrin (pr-β-CD)-functionalized silver-assembled silica nanoparticles (SiO2@Ag@pr-β-CD) for flavonoid detection were successfully prepared. The presence of pr-β-CD on the surface of SiO2@Ag enhanced the selectivity in capturing quercetin and myricetin among other similar materials (naringenin and apigenin). In addition, SiO2@Ag@pr-β-CD was able to detect quercetin corresponding to a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 0.55 ppm. The relationship between the Raman intensity of SiO2@Ag@pr-β-CD and the logarithm of the Que concentration obeyed linearity in the range 3.4-33.8 ppm (R2 = 0.997). The results indicate that SiO2@Ag@pr-β-CD is a promising material for immediately analyzing samples that demand high sensitivity and selectivity of detection.

Abstract
The effect of composite formation between α-glucosyl stevia (Stevia-G) and hydrophilic polymers on solubility and permeability enhancement of quercetin hydrate (QUE) was evaluated. Polyvinylpyrrolidone K-30 (PVP), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose 2910-E (HPMC), and hydroxypropyl cellulose SSL (HPC) were selected as candidate hydrophilic polymers. Fluorescence studies with pyrene and curcumin suggested composite formation occurs between Stevia-G aggregate and polymers. Furthermore, the strength of interaction between Stevia-G aggregate and polymers was as follows: PVP > HPMC > HPC. Evaporated particles (EVPs) of QUE with Stevia-G and polymers showed synergic QUE solubility enhancement. Solubility of QUE from the EVPs was enhanced in the following order: Stevia-G/PVP > Stevia-G/HPMC > Stevia-G/HPC, in accordance with the degree of interaction. Enhanced membrane permeability of QUE from the EVPs of Stevia-G/PVP was confirmed using Caco-2 cells. The amount of QUE that permeated Caco-2 cells from the EVPs of Stevia-G/PVP was 13.7-, 4.7-, and 2.1-fold higher than that of the untreated QUE powder, EVPs of Stevia-G, and EVPs of PVP, respectively. These results indicated that the composite formed by Stevia-G and PVP can dramatically enhance the solubility and membrane permeability of QUE.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The present study was designed to verify if quercetin (QCT), a flavonoid with antioxidant and antiviral activity, and 3-O-methylquercetin (3OMQ), a quercetin C3-methoxylated derivative, present differences in their behavior against complexation with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and the corresponding permeation/retention trhough porcine ear skin, when incorporated into hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) or chitosan (CS) hydrogels. METHODS The influence of β-CD on the skin permeation/retention of QCT and 3OMQ from hydrogels is comparatively evaluated for both flavonoids using porcine ear skin in Franz cells model. The properties of the two flavonoids using the semi-empirical method Recife Model was studied. KEY FINDINGS Quercetin presented higher skin retention compared with its C3-methoxy derivative 3OMQ. The best permeation/retention of QCT was observed when it was incorporated into CS hydrogel containing 5% β-CD, whereas, for 3OMQ, the HPMC hydrogel containing 5% β-CD was the best formulation. The flavonoids complexation with β-CD in water occurred preferentially with the insertion of the B ring through the secondary OH rim. CONCLUSIONS The dynamic molecular modeling revealed that the methyl group at C3 in 3OMQ molecule determined significant difference in its complexation with β-CD, in comparison to its analogous QCT and that difference is coincident with the permeation behavior of these flavonoids, denoting a possible relationship with their molecular dynamics.

Abstract
Nowadays, natural antioxidants abundant in polyphenols have been widely used to substitute synthetic antioxidants in meat products. In general, high doses of natural antioxidants are required to provide comparative antioxidant effects as synthetic antioxidants. Noticeably, the qualities of meat products can be jeopardized due to interactions between polyphenols and myofibrillar proteins (MPs). In this study, methyl-β-cyclodextrin was used to increase the polyphenol loading amount by preventing interactions between polyphenols and proteins. Solubility, electrophoresis, fluorescence spectroscopy, and surface hydrophobicity analyses indicated that methyl-β-cyclodextrin could dose-dependently inhibit epigallocatechin-3-gallate-induced attacks on MPs under oxidative stress. Gel strength, cooking loss, confocal laser scanning microscopy, dynamic rheological testing, and Raman spectrum during gelation were further analyzed to investigate the effects of methyl-β-cyclodextrin on the qualities of epigallocatechin-3-gallate-treated emulsion gel. Methyl-β-cyclodextrin addition prevented modification of the secondary structure of MPs caused by epigallocatechin-3-gallate. In consequence, the gel and emulsifying properties of MPs were significantly improved. Moreover, β-cyclodextrins could partly inhibit oxidative attacks on MPs and thus increase their solubility. These results indicated that methyl-β-cyclodextrin addition effectively enhanced epigallocatechin-3-gallate loading capacity in meat products.

Abstract
Aim of this work was to develop a validated high performance liquid chromatography method for the analysis of extracts and final products of St. John's wort, according to international guidelines for bioanalytical method validation. Chromatographic separation was performed on a C18 column with a combination of gradient and isocratic steps; the mobile phase composed of ammonium acetate solution (pH 4.5; 10 mM), acetonitrile and methanol. Quantification and method validation was performed using extract spiked with external reference standards of chlorogenic acid, rutin, hyperoside, isoquercitrin, quercetin and hypericin. Validation study revealed that trans-chlorogenic acid is partially transformed into its cis-isomer during analysis. The method showed good linearity, precision and accuracy. Hyperforin was completely unstable. All other ingredients were stable at -18°C and after three freeze-thaw cycles, while stability of most ingredients was limited at room temperature and 4 - 8°C; quercetin was the most unstable one. The major ingredients of methanolic extracts, infusions and final products of Hypericum perforatum were completely resolved and quantified. Beyond its potential usefulness in the analysis of St. John's wort products, this study addresses the issue of validation from the perspective of the field of bioanalysis and reveals the wealth of critical information which can be derived.

Abstract
Cyclodextrin (CD) complexation is widely used for the solubilization of poorly soluble drugs in the pharmaceutical industry. Current research was to develop a highly soluble lutein-cyclodextrin multiple-component delivery system (lutein-CD-MCDS) by combined modeling and experimental approaches. Both phase solubility diagram and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation results revealed that the interactions between lutein and CDs were very weak, which confirmed the insignificant solubility improvement of lutein-CD binary system. On the basis of theoretical calculation and preliminary CD studies, lutein-CD-MCDS was developed with over 400-fold solubility improvement after formulation screening. MD simulation indicated that the auxiliary polymers of TWEEN 80 and poloxamer 188 in the lutein-CD-MCDS introduced bridged interaction between lutein and γ-CD to increase the solubility, dissolution rate, and stability of the complex. The lutein-CD-MCDS was characterized by in vitro dissolution test, differential scanning colorimetry (DSC), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD). Moreover, lutein-CD-MCDS had significantly higher uptake in Caco-2 cells than free lutein. The relative bioavailability of the lutein-CD-MCDS increased to 6.6-fold compared to pure lutein, and to 1.2-fold compared with commercial lutein soft capsules. In conclusion, the highly soluble lutein-CD-MCDS with significant improvement in both the solubility and bioavailability was developed and characterized by combined modeling and experimental approaches. Our research indicates that computer-aided formulation design is a promising approach for future formulation development.

Abstract
Quercetin can bring many benefits to skin based on its various bioactivities. However, the therapeutic effect of quercetin is limited due to the poor water solubility, pH instability, light instability, and skin permeation. The aim of the present work was applying essential oil-based microemulsions to improve the solubility, pH stability, photostability, and skin permeation of quercetin for topical application. Peppermint oil (PO-ME), clove oil (CO-ME), and rosemary oil (RMO-ME) were selected as model essential oils. Microemulsions composed of Cremophor EL/1,2-propanediol/essential oils (47:23:30, w/w) were selected as model formulations, based on the pseudo-ternary phase diagram and the characterizations. In the solubility study, the solubility of quercetin was improved dozens of times by microemulsions. Quercetin was found instable under alkaline condition, with 50% degraded in the solution of pH 13. However, PO-ME, CO-ME, and RMO-ME could protect quercetin from the hydroxide ions, with 47, 9, and 12% of quercetin degraded. In the photostability study, the essential oil-based microemulsions showed the capability of protecting quercetin from degradation under UV radiation. Where more than 67% of quercetin was degraded in aqueous solution, while less than 7% of quercetin degraded in microemulsions. At last, the in vitro skin permeation study showed that the essential oil-based microemulsions could enhance the permeation capacity of quercetin by 2.5-3 times compared to the aqueous solution. Hence, the prepared essential oil microemulsions could improve the solubility, pH stability, photostability, and skin permeation of quercetin, which will be beneficial for its topical application.

Abstract
Quercetin is an abundant flavonoid in fruits, vegetables such as onion, tea leaves, cranberry, radish leaves etc. with numerous biological activities and widely used as an effective antioxidant. Its low solubility in water and chemical decomposition in intestinal environment are predicaments in delivery through dietary or oral intake. Noble polymeric nanoparticles are of particular interest today because of their applications in many areas. Polymer nanoparticles have attracted the interest of many research groups and have been utilised in an increasing number of fields such as site targeted drug delivery in cancer research during the last decades. Various techniques can be used to produce polymer nanoparticles, such as solvent evaporation, salting-out, dialysis, supercritical fluid technology etc. The choice of method depends on a number of factors, such as, particle size, particle size distribution, area of application, etc. In the present study, single emulsion-solvent evaporation technique has been utilised with two different organic solvents: acetone and chloroform/methanol to prepare quercetin loaded poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) nanoparticles. According to the authors' observations acetone is a better solvent for encapsulating quercetin in polymer nanoparticles owing to its physical and chemical properties.

Abstract
Quercetin is well known for its beneficial health effects on the human body. However, the slow dissolution rate leading to poor bioavailability constitutes a barrier to being further developed for nutritional products. In this work, quercetin was co-precipitated with dietary fibers into a fast-dissolving nanoformulation via antisolvent precipitation, followed by spray drying. With the help of cellulose fiber, resistant starch or resistant maltodextrin, a high dissolution rate and good storage stability was achieved for quercetin nanoformulations. In addition, nanoformulations exhibited higher level of antioxidant activities in contrast to raw quercetin. The developed quercetin/dietary fiber nanoformulations could be used as supplements or functional ingredients for food development.
