JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2024; 104:6196-6207.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Millet bran (MB), a byproduct of millet production, is rich in functional components but it is underutilized. In recent years, researchers have shown that fermentation can improve the biological activity of cereals and their byproducts. This study used Bacillus natto to ferment millet bran to improve its added value and broaden the application of MB. The bioactive component content, physicochemical properties, and functional activity of millet bran extract (MBE) from fermented millet bran were determined. RESULTS After fermentation, the soluble dietary fiber (SDF) content increased by 92.0%, the β-glucan content by 164.4%, the polypeptide content by 111.4%, the polyphenol content by 32.5%, the flavone content by 16.4%, and the total amino acid content by 95.4%. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the microscopic morphology of MBE changed from complete and dense blocks to loosely porous shapes after fermentation. After fermentation, the solubility, water-holding capacity, and viscosity significantly increased and the particle size decreased. Moreover, the glucose adsorption capacity (2.1 mmol g-1), glucose dialysis retardation index (75.3%), and α-glucosidase inhibitory (71.4%, mixed reversible inhibition) activity of the fermented MBE (FMBE) were greater than those of the unfermented MBE (0.99 mmol g-1, 32.1%, and 35.1%, respectively). The FMBE presented better cholesterol and sodium cholate (SC) adsorption properties and the adsorption was considered inhomogeneous surface adsorption. CONCLUSION Fermentation increased the bioactive component content and improved the physicochemical properties of MBE, thereby improving its hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic properties. This study not only resolves the problem of millet bran waste but also encourages the development of higher value-added application methods for millet bran. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Phyllanthus emblica Linn. (PE) fresh fruits contain high concentrations of polyphenolics, of which free and bound phenolics are rich in biological activities. In this study, the inhibitory activity and mechanism of PEFP and PEBP on α-glucosidase (α-GLU) were investigated using spectroscopic techniques, kinetic analysis, and molecular docking. The results showed that 13 PEFP and 12 PEBP were identified by UPLC-MS/MS analysis, and Bis-HHDP-hexose and castalagin (vesgalagin) were found for the first time in PE fresh fruits. Kinetic analysis of enzyme inhibition showed that a mixture of free and bound phenolics inhibited α-GLU, and the effect of the conformational relationship of PEFP and PEBP with α-GLU on hypoglycemia was further explored by fluorescence quenching, circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, and molecular docking analysis. The findings demonstrated the inhibitory activity and mechanism of free and bound phenolics on α-GLU and provided a theoretical basis for PE polyphenolics as α-GLU inhibitors for hypoglycemia.

Rapid screening of the novel bioactive peptides with notable α-glucosidase inhibitory activity by UF-LC-MS/MS combined with three-AI-tool from black beans. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 266:130982.

Abstract
This work aimed to propose a rapid method to screen the bioactive peptides with anti-α-glucosidase activity instead of traditional multiple laborious purification and identification procedures. 242 peptides binding to α-glycosidase were quickly screened and identified by bio-affinity ultrafiltration combined with LC-MS/MS from the double enzymatic hydrolysate of black beans. Top three peptides with notable anti-α-glucosidase activity, NNNPFKF, RADLPGVK and FLKEAFGV were further rapidly screened and ranked by the three artificial intelligence tools (three-AI-tool) BIOPEP database, PeptideRanker and molecular docking from the 242 peptides. Their IC50 values were in order as 4.20 ± 0.11 mg/mL, 2.83 ± 0.03 mg/mL, 1.32 ± 0.09 mg/mL, which was opposite to AI ranking, for the hydrophobicity index of the peptides was not included in the screening criteria. According to the kinetics, FT-IR, CD and ITC analyses, the binding of the three peptides to α-glucosidase is a spontaneous and irreversible endothermic reaction that results from hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions, which mainly changes the α-helix structure of α-glucosidase. The peptide-activity can be evaluated vividly by AFM in vitro. In vivo, the screened FLKEAFGV and RADLPGVK can lower blood sugar levels as effectively as acarbose, they are expected to be an alternative to synthetic drugs for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes.

Inhibitory mechanism of chrysin and diosmetin to α-glucosidase: insights from kinetics, multispectroscopy and molecular docking investigations. J Biomol Struct Dyn 2024:1-13.

Abstract
Inhibition of α-glucosidase activity is a promising method to prevent postprandial hyperglycemia. The inhibitory effect and interaction of chrysin and diosmetin on α-glucosidase were studied in this study. The results of inhibition kinetics showed that chrysin and diosmetin reversibly inhibited α-glucosidase activity with IC50 value of 26.445 ± 1.406 μmol L-1 and 18.380 ± 1.264 μmol L-1, respectively. Further research revealed that chrysin exhibited a mixed-type inhibitory pattern against α-glucosidase, while diosmetin was noncompetitive inhibitory with Ki value of (2.6 ± 0.04) ×10-4 mol L-1. Fluorescence spectroscopy showed that both chrysin and diosmetin could quench the intrinsic fluorescence of α-glucosidase, the maximum emission wavelength of tyrosine (Tyr) and tryptophan (Trp) were not moved by chrysin, but red shifted by diosmetin. UV-Vis, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and circular dichroism (CD) measurements showed that the secondary structure and microenvironment of α-glucosidase were changed by chrysin and diosmetin. Further analysis of molecular docking showed that chrysin and diosmetin could bind with α-glucosidase and might cause the decrease of α-glucosidase activity. The results of molecular dynamics (MD) simulation showed that the stability of chrysin (or diosmetin)-α-glucosidase complex system was changed during binding process. In conclusion, chrysin and diosmetin are good α-glucosidase inhibitors.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
α-Glucosidase is related to the increase in postprandial blood glucose in vivo. Inhibition of α-glucosidase is supposed to be an effective approach to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Trilobatin, a member of the dihydrochalcone family, shows anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic activities. In this study, the inhibitory activity and mechanism of trilobatin on α-glucosidase were investigated using multispectroscopic and molecular docking techniques. The kinetic analysis showed that trilobatin reversibly inhibited α-glucosidase in a noncompetitive-type manner and the value of IC50 was 0.24 ± 0.02 mM. The analysis of fluorescence spectra demonstrated that the formation of the trilobatin-α-glucosidase complex was driven mainly by hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces, resulting in the conformational changes of α-glucosidase. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and circular dichroism (CD) measurements suggested that the interaction could change the micro-environment and conformation of α-glucosidase affected by trilobatin. Molecular docking analysis determined the exact binding sites of trilobatin on α-glucosidase. These results indicated that trilobatin is a strong α-glucosidase inhibitor, thus it could be conducive to ameliorate T2DM.

Abstract
Inhibition of α-glucosidase activity is closely related to the treatment of type 2 diabetes. However, the potential mechanism by which 4,4-dimethylsterols inhibit α-glucosidase has not been elucidated. In this work, the inhibitory activity and mechanism of 4,4-dimethylsterols against α-glucosidase were studied through kinetic analysis, fluorescence spectroscopy, ultraviolet spectroscopy, circular dichroism, and molecular docking. 4,4-Dimethylsterols showed higher inhibition activity against α-glucosidase than acarbose with an IC50 value of 0.71 mg/mL and a noncompetitive inhibition type. They could bind to α-glucosidase through van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonds and quench its endofluorescence with a static quenching mechanism. Changes in the secondary structure of α-glucosidase were induced by its binding interaction with 4,4-dimethylsterols. Molecular docking further indicated that a hydrogen bond was generated between OH at the C-3 position of 4,4-dimethylsterols and the α-glucosidase residue Arg-442. This study provides new insights into the potential utilization of 4,4-dimethylsterols as antidiabetic phytochemicals in dietary supplements.
