Effects of Isoflavone-Rich NADES Extract of Pueraria lobata Roots and Astaxanthin-Rich Phaffia rhodozyma Extract on Prostate Carcinogenesis in Rats. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 12:564.

Abstract
Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common male malignancies worldwide. In the current study, we evaluated the effects of a natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES) extract of Pueraria lobata roots rich in isoflavones (ISF) and Phaffia rhodozyma extract rich in astaxanthin (ASX) on an N-methyl-N-nitrosourea plus testosterone PCa model in rats. ISF consisted of puerarin, daidzein, genistein, formononetin and other polyphenols, while ASX contained lipids and unsaturated species in addition to astaxanthin. Extracts were administered through a whole promotion period in daily doses shown by our group to successfully inhibit benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) development - 200 mg/kg for ISF and 25 mg/kg for ASX. Though a similar effect was found for BPH processes accompanying PCa induction, the incidence of PCa in animals treated with placebo, ISF and ASX was 37%, 37% and 41%, respectively, showing no chemopreventive activity of ISF and ASX. PCa development was associated with a decrease in the Ca/Mg ratio in serum and an increase in prostate tissue. Treatment with both extracts produced a normalization effect on Ca balance in serum, which, combined with a decrease in the prostatic index, suggests some positive health effects of ISF and ASX.

Humic Acid Extracted from Danty via Catalytic Oxidation Using H 2O 2/Birnessite: Characteristics and Agricultural Beneficial Effects. ACS OMEGA 2022; 7:47192-47201. [PMID: 36570268 PMCID: PMC9773955 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.2c06411] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2022] [Accepted: 11/29/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Extraction optimization is very important for the quality of humic acid (HA). In this study, actived HA (HAb) was extracted from danty via catalytic oxidation using birnessite as a catalyst and H2O2 as an oxidant. Single-factor experiments and the response surface method were used to optimize the acidic functional group content of HAb. It was found that the maximum acidic functional group content of HAb can be achieved when danty-crushing time, H2O2 concentration, and birnessite dose were 105.7 min, 20, and 2%, respectively. Fourier transform infrared spectra showed that HAb had more surface functional groups than commercial HA (HAc) and HA extracted using the traditional method of the International Humic Substances Society (HAI). In addition, acidic functional group titration showed that HAb had 84.3% more acidic functional groups and 118.9% more carboxyl groups than HAI. Additionally, HAb had the greatest effect on promoting the dissolution of carbonate and bicarbonate, promoting the settlement of calcaline alkaline soil, and improving the germination rate of wheat seeds under saline and alkaline stress. This study provides a basis for the efficient extraction of active HA with rich functional groups and its application in agriculture and many other fields.

Abstract
Chronic liver diseases affect more than 1 billion people worldwide and represent one of the main public health issues. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) accounts for the majority of mortal cases, while there is no currently approved therapeutics for its treatment. One of the prospective approaches to NAFLD therapy is to use a mixture of natural compounds. They showed effectiveness in alleviating NAFLD-related conditions including steatosis, fibrosis, etc. However, understanding the mechanism of action of such mixtures is important for their rational application. In this work, we propose a new dereplication workflow for deciphering the mechanism of action of the lignin-derived natural compound mixture. The workflow combines the analysis of molecular components with high-resolution mass spectrometry, selective chemical tagging and deuterium labeling, liver tissue penetration examination, assessment of biological activity in vitro, and computational chemistry tools used to generate putative structural candidates. Molecular docking was used to propose the potential mechanism of action of these structures, which was assessed by a proteomic experiment.
