Testing the disintegration and texture-related palatability predictions for orodispersible tablets using an instrumental tool coupled with multivariate analysis: Focus on process variables and analysis settings. Eur J Pharm Sci 2024; 198:106801. [PMID: 38754594 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejps.2024.106801] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2023] [Revised: 03/18/2024] [Accepted: 05/14/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024]
Abstract
Orodispersible tablets (ODTs) represent a growing category of dosage forms intended to increase the treatment acceptability for special groups of patients. ODTs are designed to rapidly disintegrate in the oral cavity and to be administered without water. In addition, ODTs are easy to manufacture using standard excipients and pharmaceutical equipment. This study adds to previously published research that developed an instrumental tool to predict oral disintegration and texture-related palatability of ODTs with different formulations. The current study aimed to challenge the predictive capacity of the models under variable process conditions. The studied process parameters with potential impact on the pharmaceutical properties, texture profiles, and palatability were the compression pressure, punch shape and diameter. Subsequently, for all the placebo and drug-loaded ODTs, the in vivo disintegration time and texture-related palatability were determined with healthy volunteers. Previously developed regression models were applied to predict the formulation's disintegration time and texture-related palatability characteristics of ODTs obtained under different experimental conditions. The influence of process variables on the predictive performance of the models was estimated by calculating the residuals as the difference between the predicted and observed values for the investigated response. Increasing the speed of the analyser`s probe from 0.01 mm/s to 0.02 mm/s led to an improved differentiation of the texture profiles. The in vivo disintegration time and texture-related palatability scores were only influenced by the mechanical resistance and the tablet shape. Lower score was observed for the larger diameter tablets (10 mm). Overall, the prediction of the disintegration time at 0.02 mm/s was more accurate, except for stronger tablets. The best prediction of texture-related palatability was achieved for the 10 mm tablets, tested at 0.01 mm/s speed. The same model achieved good predictions of the oral disintegration time for all API-loaded formulations, which confirmed the ability of the texture analysis to capture process-related variability. Drug loading decreased the predictive capacity of the texture-related palatability because of the taste effect.

Abstract
Controlled drug release systems are the subject of many investigations to achieve the therapeutic effect of drugs. They have numerous advantages, such as localized effects, lower side effects, and less onset of action. Among drug-delivery systems, electrospinning is a versatile and cost-effective method for biomedical applications. Furthermore, electrospun nanofibers are promising as drug carrier candidates due to their properties that mimic the extracellular matrix. In this work, electrospun fibers were made of Poly-L-lactic acid (PLA), one of the most widely tested materials, which has excellent biocompatible and biodegradable properties. A curcuminoid, bisdemethoxycurcumin (BDMC) was added in order to complete the drug delivery system. The PLA/BDMC membranes were characterized, and biological characteristics were examined in vitro. The results show that the average fiber diameter was reduced with the drug, which was mainly released during the first 24 h by a diffusion mechanism. It was seen that the use of our membranes loaded with BDMC enhanced the rate of proliferation in Schwann cells, the main peripheral neuroglial cells, and modulated inflammation by reducing NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Considering the results, the prepared PLA/BDMC membranes hold great potential for being used in tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Polysaccharides of tamarind seed, a byproduct of the tamarind pulp industry, displayed a potential solubility improvement of lipophilic bioactive molecules but their textural characteristics hinder the dietary formulation. In contrast, the commonly available xyloglucan oligosaccharides (XOSs) with degrees of polymerization (DPs) of 7, 8, and 9 were too short to maintain their ability. The binding capacity of the between sizes is unknown due to a lack of appropriate preparation. We prepared xyloglucan megalosaccharides (XMSs) by partial depolymerization, where term megalosaccharide (MS) defines the middle chain-length saccharide between DPs 10 and 100. Digestion with fungal cellulase enabled reproducible active XMSs. Further identification of pure XMS segments indicated that XMS-B has an average DP of 17.2 (Gal3Glc8Xyl6) with a branched dimer of XOS 8 and 9 and was free of side-chain arabinose, the residue influencing high viscosity. Curcumin, a bioactive pigment, has poor bioavailability because of its water insolubility. XMSs with average DPs of 15.4-24.3 have similarly sufficient capacities to solubilize curcumin. The solubility of curcumin was improved 180-fold by the addition of 50 %, w/v, XMSs, which yielded a clear yellow liquid. Our findings indicated that XMSs were a promising added-value agent in foods and pharmaceuticals for the oral intake of curcumin.

Abstract
Curcumin (Cur) is a natural pigment with excellent biological activity. The poor stability and insolubility of Cur in water severely limit its application. Therefore, to overcome these dilemmas which are big hindrances in their application, a novel derivative (COCS-Cur) was prepared by the esterification reaction of carboxylated chitosan (COCS) and Cur. The structure and properties of conjugate were determined through a series of characterizations. The derivatives had excellent solubility as well as stability. In addition, antioxidant and photodynamic antibacterial experiments proved that COCS-Cur had the excellent free radical scavenging ability and photodynamic antibacterial activity. The derivatives presented a better antibacterial effect on Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) than Escherichia coli (E. coli). Noteworthy, the COCS-Cur derivatives showed no obvious toxicity which makes them a stronger contender and potential antimicrobial agent or functional nutrient for application in the food industry.

Abstract
Bioactive compounds are frequently incorporated into polysaccharides (e.g., starch) to form active biodegradable films for food packaging, but some of them are water insoluble (e.g., curcumin, CUR) that will make the films have undesirable performance. Herein, CUR was successfully solubilized into the aqueous starch film solution by steviol glycoside (STE, a natural sweetener)-based solid dispersion. The mechanisms of solubilization and film formation were explored through molecular dynamic simulation and various characterization methods. The results showed that the amorphous state of CUR combined with micellar encapsulation of STE achieved the solubilization of CUR. STE and starch chains cooperated to form the film via hydrogen bonding, while CUR was uniformly and densely distributed within the film in the form of needle-like microcrystals. The as-prepared film exhibited high flexibility, great moisture barrier, and excellent UV barrier (UV transmittance: ∼0 %). Compared with the film containing CUR alone, the as-prepared film possessed higher release efficiency, antibacterial activity, and pH response sensitivity due to the assistance of STE. Hence, the introduction of STE-based solid dispersion can simultaneously improve the biological and physical properties of starch films, which provides a green, nontoxic, and facile strategy for the perfect integration of hydrophobic bioactive compounds and polysaccharide-based films.

JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2022; 102:2651-2659. [PMID: 34687452 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.11604] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2021] [Revised: 10/10/2021] [Accepted: 10/23/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Rebaudioside A (RA) and its monoglucosyl derivative, as like rebaudioside D (RD) are the most popular stevia glycosides but possess poor solubility in water, which limited their application as edible surfactants, the applications as in micellar solubilization and drug delivery. Meanwhile, effect of the monoglucosyl attached to RA moiety remains unclear. RESULTS Monoglucosyl rebaudioside A (RAG1) was synthesized via hydrolyzing the transglycosylation product of RA with 95% of RA converted. RAG1 content in raw reaction mixture was as high as 69.5% of total glycosides, and harvested with a content of 88.2% by simple filtration. The RAG1 exhibited an aqueous solubility of 87 folds of RA or 391 folds of RD at 25 °C. The surface activity of RAG1 solution was higher than RA and invincible to RD. The RAG1 micelles promoted aqueous solubility of idebenone (IDE) up to 500 folds higher at 25 °C. The cumulative release rate of IDE encapsulated in RAG1 micelles was 777.5% or 456.7% higher of that of free IDE in simulated gastric/intestinal fluids in 14 h, respectively. The RAG1-IDE remained the same in 98 days at 25 °C. CONCLUSION The α-linked glucosyl to RA induced higher hydrophilicity and surface activity than that resulted by β-linked glucosyl, making RAG1 not only dramatically raise the aqueous solubility of RA, but also endow IDE folds higher in bioaccessibility, yet making the capsule stable at storage. The results would provide a new edible delivery nanocarrier for encapsulation of hydrophobic bioactive components. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chickpea protein isolate (CPI) originating from chickpeas has the advantages of facilitating the stability of food emulsions. Stevioside (STE) exhibits a notable surface activity and can improve the water solubility of numerous hydrophobic nutrients. STE and protein mixtures show great potential as emulsions stabilizers. The present study aimed to prepare a novel nanoemulsion for encapsulating lutein (LUT) by ultrasonic homogenization using chickpea protein isolate-stevioside complex (CPI-STE) as a stabilizer and also to investigate the physicochemical characteristics. RESULTS The results obtained showed that different preparation conditions demonstrated significant influences on the physicochemical properties of CPI-STE-LUT nanoemulsions. Under the optimal condition, the average particle size of CPI-STE-LUT nanoemulsions was 195.1 nm, and the emulsifying and encapsulation efficiencies of lutein were 91.04% and 87.56%, respectively. CPI-STE-LUT nanoemulsions stabilized by CPI-STE could significantly increase the emulsifying and encapsulation efficiencies of lutein compared to that stabilized by CPI. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy revealed that hydrogen bond was the main binding force of CPI and lutein, and there was a covalent bond between the two molecules. Furthermore, the stability of CPI-STE-LUT nanoemulsions in gastrointestinal phase was higher than that of CPI-LUT nanoemulsions, which could load lutein more effectively and be more resistant to digestive enzymes. CONCLUSION The present study reports the physicochemical characterization of CPI-STE-LUT nanoemulsions for the first time. CPI-STE-LUT nanoemulsions were characterized by a small average particle size lower than 200 nm, as well as high emulsifying and encapsulation efficiencies, and good stability. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Curcumin (Cur) exhibits low water solubility and insufficient dispersibility in food systems, and cannot exert its excellent antioxidant properties. In this work, Chitosan (CS) nanoparticles were prepared by ionic crosslinking method using chitosan as carrier and sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) as crosslinking agent, then Cur was loaded to obtain curcumin nanoparticles (CNPs). CNPs presented a spherical morphology with average size of 278.9 nm. Compared with the solubility of native Cur (0.017 μg/mL) at 25 °C, the water solubility of CNPs increased to 35.92 μg/mL of more than 2100 times. In addition, the antioxidant capacity of Cur was also studied based on DPPH free radical scavenging, the results showed that with the increase of the concentration, the antioxidant capacity of CNPs was significantly increased (p < 0.05), which was higher than that of Cur at the same concentration. The edible coating was prepared by adding CNPs into sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) to study the effects of CMC-CNPs coatings in improving the quality and shelf life of fresh pork stored at 4 ± 1 °C for 15 days. The results showed that CMC-CNPs edible coating could significantly inhibit lipid oxidation of fresh pork (p < 0.05) and could be further applied in lipid rich food packaging.

Abstract
In this study, the optimization and modeling of microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) of water-soluble curcuminoids prepared using novel steviol glycosides (SGs) was carried out using four independent process variables at varying levels-X1: microwave power (50-200 W), X2: stevioside concentration (50-200 mg/mL), X3: curcumin concentration (20-200 mg/mL), and X4: time (1-10 min)-in response surface methodology configuration. Moreover, the effects of stevioside, as the most cost-effective natural solubilizer, were also evaluated. The water solubility of curcuminoids increased from 11 to 1320 mg/L with the addition of stevioside as a natural solubilizer. Moreover, microwave heating synergistically with stevioside addition significantly (p < 0.05) increased the solubility up to 5400 mg/L. Based on the results, the optimum conditions providing the maximum solubilization of 16,700 mg/L were 189 W microwave power, 195 g/L stevioside concentration, 183 g/L curcuminoid concentration, and 9 min of incubation time. Moreover, MAE of curcuminoids using SGs might render a significant advantage for its wide-scale application to solubilizing the multitude of insoluble functional flavonoids in fruits, plants, and food materials.

Abstract
Dengue fever is a dangerous infectious endemic disease that affects over 100 nations worldwide, from Africa to the Western Pacific, and is caused by the dengue virus, which is transmitted to humans by an insect bite of Aedes aegypti. Millions of citizens have died as a result of dengue fever and dengue hemorrhagic fever across the globe. Envelope (E), serine protease (NS3), RNA-directed RNA polymerase (NS5), and non-structural protein 1 (NS1) are mostly required for cell proliferation and survival. Some of the diterpenoids and their derivatives produced by nature possess anti-dengue viral properties. The goal of the computational study was to scrutinize the effectiveness of diterpenoids and their derivatives against dengue viral proteins through in silico study. Methods: molecular docking was performed to analyze the binding affinity of compounds against four viral proteins: the envelope (E) protein, the NS1 protein, the NS3 protein, and the NS5 protein. Results: among the selected drug candidates, triptolide, stevioside, alepterolic acid, sphaeropsidin A, methyl dodovisate A, andrographolide, caesalacetal, and pyrimethamine have demonstrated moderate to good binding affinities (-8.0 to -9.4 kcal/mol) toward the selected proteins: E protein, NS3, NS5, and NS1 whereas pyrimethamine exerts -7.5, -6.3, -7.8, and -6.6 kcal/mol with viral proteins, respectively. Interestingly, the binding affinities of these lead compounds were better than those of an FDA-approved anti-viral medication (pyrimethamine), which is underused in dengue fever. Conclusion: we can conclude that diterpenoids can be considered as a possible anti-dengue medication option. However, in vivo investigation is recommended to back up the conclusions of this study.

Abstract
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral disease (arboviral) caused by the Dengue virus. It is one of the prominent public health problems in tropical and subtropical regions with no effective vaccines. Every year around 400 million people get infected by the Dengue virus, with a mortality rate of about 20% among the patients with severe dengue. The Dengue virus belongs to the Flaviviridae family, and it is an enveloped virus with positive-sense single-stranded RNA as the genetic material. Studies of the infection cycle of this virus revealed potential host targets important for the virus replication cycle. Here in this review article, we will be discussing different stages of the Dengue virus infection cycle inside mammalian host cells and how host proteins are exploited by the virus in the course of infection as well as how the host counteracts the virus by eliciting different antiviral responses.

Activity of Anthracenediones and Flavoring Phenols in Hydromethanolic Extracts of Rubia tinctorum against Grapevine Phytopathogenic Fungi. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2021; 10:1527. [PMID: 34451572 PMCID: PMC8399478 DOI: 10.3390/plants10081527] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2021] [Revised: 07/20/2021] [Accepted: 07/23/2021] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
In this work, the chemical composition of Rubia tinctorum root hydromethanolic extract was analyzed by GC-MS, and over 50 constituents were identified. The main phytochemicals were alizarin-related anthraquinones and flavoring phenol compounds. The antifungal activity of this extract, alone and in combination with chitosan oligomers (COS) or with stevioside, was evaluated against the pathogenic taxa Diplodia seriata, Dothiorella viticola and Neofusicoccum parvum, responsible for the so-called Botryosphaeria dieback of grapevine. In vitro mycelial growth inhibition tests showed remarkable activity for the pure extract, with EC50 and EC90 values as low as 66 and 88 μg·mL-1, respectively. Nonetheless, enhanced activity was attained upon the formation of conjugate complexes with COS or with stevioside, with synergy factors of up to 5.4 and 3.3, respectively, resulting in EC50 and EC90 values as low as 22 and 56 μg·mL-1, respectively. The conjugate with the best performance (COS-R. tinctorum extract) was then assayed ex situ on autoclaved grapevine wood against D. seriata, confirming its antifungal behavior on this plant material. Finally, the same conjugate was evaluated in greenhouse assays on grafted grapevine plants artificially inoculated with the three aforementioned fungal species, resulting in a significant reduction in the infection rate in all cases. This natural antifungal compound represents a promising alternative for developing sustainable control methods against grapevine trunk diseases.

Antifungal Activity against Botryosphaeriaceae Fungi of the Hydro-Methanolic Extract of Silybum marianum Capitula Conjugated with Stevioside. PLANTS 2021; 10:plants10071363. [PMID: 34371566 PMCID: PMC8309442 DOI: 10.3390/plants10071363] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2021] [Revised: 06/26/2021] [Accepted: 06/30/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertn, viz. milk thistle, has been the focus of research efforts in the past few years, albeit almost exclusively restricted to the medicinal properties of its fruits (achenes). Given that other milk thistle plant organs and tissues have been scarcely investigated for the presence of bioactive compounds, in this study, we present a phytochemical analysis of the extracts of S. marianum capitula during the flowering phenological stage (stage 67). Gas chromatography–mass spectroscopy results evidenced the presence of high contents of coniferyl alcohol (47.4%), and secondarily of ferulic acid ester, opening a new valorization strategy of this plant based on the former high-added-value component. Moreover, the application of the hydro-methanolic extracts as an antifungal agent has been also explored. Specifically, their activity against three fungal species responsible for the so-called Botryosphaeria dieback of grapevine (Neofusicoccum parvum, Dothiorella viticola and Diplodia seriata) has been assayed both in vitro and in vivo. From the mycelial growth inhibition assays, the best results (EC90 values of 303, 366, and 355 μg·mL−1 for N. parvum, D. viticola, and D. seriata, respectively) were not obtained for the hydroalcoholic extract alone, but after its conjugation with stevioside, which resulted in a strong synergistic behavior. Greenhouse experiments confirmed the efficacy of the conjugated complexes, pointing to the potential of the combination of milk thistle extracts with stevioside as a promising plant protection product in organic Viticulture.

Polysaccharides-Based Complex Particles' Protective Role on the Stability and Bioactivity of Immobilized Curcumin. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22063075.

Abstract
The curcumin degradation represents a significant limitation for its applications. The stability of free curcumin (FC) and immobilized curcumin in complex particles (ComPs) based on different polysaccharides was studied under the action of several factors. Ultraviolet-visible (UV-VIS) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy proved the FC photodegradation and its role as a metal chelator: 82% of FC and between 26% and 39.79% of curcumin within the ComPs degraded after exposure for 28 days to natural light. The degradation half-life (t1/2) decreases for FC when the pH increases, from 6.8 h at pH = 3 to 2.1 h at pH = 9. For curcumin extracted from ComPs, t1/2 was constant (between 10 and 13 h) and depended on the sample’s composition. The total phenol (TPC) and total flavonoids (TFC) content values increased by 16% and 13%, respectively, for FC exposed to ultraviolet light at λ = 365 nm (UVA), whereas no significant change was observed for immobilized curcumin. Antioxidant activity expressed by IC50 (µmoles/mL) for FC exposed to UVA decreased by 29%, but curcumin within ComPs was not affected by the UVA. The bovine serum albumin (BSA) adsorption efficiency on the ComPs surface depends on the pH value and the cross-linking degree. ComPs have a protective role for the immobilized curcumin.

Abstract
This study aims to develop novel lutein nanoparticles encapsulized by stevioside (LUT-STE, 165 ± 2 nm average particles size) and systematically evaluate its bioavailability. Multiple spectroscopy and NMR analyses showed lutein and stevioside could interact through hydrogen bonds, CHπ interaction and van der Waals forces. Molecular docking simulation showed lutein was well distributed in the hydrophobic cavity of stevioside. Analyzed by Caco-2 cellular models, the transported amount of LUT-STE was 2.39 times that of lutein in 120 min with a Papp (B → A)/Papp (A → B) value of 0.63 ± 0.04. Nystatin and dynasore significantly reduced the cellular uptake of LUT-STE by 41.3% and 57.7%, respectively. Compared with free lutein, LUT-STE increased the Cmax in mice plasma by 5.01-fold and promoted the accumulation in multiple organs. LUT-STE promoted the protein expressions of CD36, NPC1L1 and PPARγ in both cell and animal models. In conclusion, stevioside entrapment significantly promote the bioavailability of lutein through multiple transmembrane pathways.

Abstract
Phenolic compounds have been related to multiple biological activities, and the antiviral effect of these compounds has been demonstrated in several viral models of public health concern. In this review, we show the antiviral role of phenolic compounds against dengue virus (DENV), the most widespread arbovirus globally that, after its re-emergence, has caused multiple epidemic outbreaks, especially in the last two years. Twenty phenolic compounds with anti-DENV activity are discussed, including the multiple mechanisms of action, such as those directed against viral particles or viral proteins, host proteins or pathways related to the productive replication viral cycle and the spread of the infection.

Abstract
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) preparations of the chosen polyphenols (PPs) were prepared for the first time in the literature. The solubility of the PPs in the lipidic core of the LDL increased with the increase of their lipophilicity. The anti-/pro-oxidative properties and toxicity of LDL-entrapped PPs toward A 2780 human ovarian cancer cells were examined. The obtained preparations were found to be stable in PBS, and characterized by low toxicity. A binding affinity study revealed that the uptake of PP-loaded LDL particles is non-receptor-specific under experimental conditions. The antioxidative potential of the obtained PPs-doped LDL preparations was shown to be higher than for the PPs themselves, probably due to facilitating transport of LDL preparations into the cellular milieu, where they can interact with the cellular systems and change the redox status of the cell. The PPs-loaded LDL displayed the highest protective effect against Fenton-type reaction induced oxidative DNA damage.

Antifungal Activity against Fusarium culmorum of Stevioside, Silybum marianum Seed Extracts, and Their Conjugate Complexes. Antibiotics (Basel) 2020; 9:antibiotics9080440.

Abstract
Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a disease that poses a major challenge in cereal production that has important food and feed safety implications due to trichothecene contamination. In this study, the effect of stevioside-a glycoside found in the leaves of candyleaf (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni)-was evaluated in vitro against Fusarium culmorum (W.G. Smith) Sacc., alone and in combination (in a 1:1 molar ratio) with polyphenols obtained from milk thistle seeds (Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertn). Different concentrations, ranging from 32 to 512 µg·mL-1, were assayed, finding EC50 and EC90 inhibitory concentrations of 156 and 221 µg·mL-1, respectively, for the treatment based only on stevioside, and EC50 and EC90 values of 123 and 160 µg·mL-1, respectively, for the treatment based on the stevioside-polyphenol conjugate complexes. Colony formation inhibition results were consistent, reaching full inhibition at 256 µg·mL-1. Given that synergistic behavior was observed for this latter formulation (SF = 1.43, according to Wadley's method), it was further assessed for grain protection at storage, mostly directed against mycotoxin contamination caused by the aforementioned phytopathogen, confirming that it could inhibit fungal growth and avoid trichothecene contamination. Moreover, seed tests showed that the treatment did not affect the percentage of germination, and it resulted in a lower incidence of root rot caused by the pathogen in Kamut and winter wheat seedlings. Hence, the application of these stevioside-S. marianum seed extract conjugate complexes may be put forward as a promising and environmentally friendly treatment for the protection of cereal crops and stored grain against FHB.

Abstract
Rhizomes of Curcuma longa L. are well known for their content of curcuminoids, which are compounds with interesting biological activity against various inflammatory states and diseases. Curcuminoids can degrade during processing. This piece of work investigates fast, efficient and cost-effective metabolite recovery from turmeric under ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE). An analytical evaluation of curcuminoid stability under sonication in different solvents is reported for the first time. HPLC and quantitative 1H-NMR were used. Under the applied conditions, EtOAc was found to be the optimal extraction medium, rather than EtOH, due to its lower radical generation, which facilitates better curcuminoid stability. Kinetic characterization, by means of the Peleg equation, was applied for single-step UAE on two different rhizome granulometries. Over a time of 90 min, maximum extraction yields were 25.63% and 47.56% for 6 and 2 mm matrix powders, respectively. However, it was observed that the largest portion of curcuminoid recovery was achieved in the first 30 min. Model outcomes were used as the basis for the design of a suitable multi-step cross-flow approach that supports and emphasizes the disruptive role of cavitation. The maximum curcuminoid yield was achieved over three steps (92.10%) and four steps (80.04%), for lower and higher granulometries, respectively. Finally, the central role of the solvent was further confirmed by turmeric oleoresin purification. The EtOAc extract was purified via crystallization, and a 95% pure curcuminoid product was isolated without any chromatographic procedure. No suitable crystallization was observed for the EtOH extract.

Abstract
Phytophthora cinnamomi is responsible for radical rot in a wide range of hosts, resulting in large economic and ecological losses worldwide. In Spain, it is responsible for diseases such as the oak decline or the chestnut blight. In this study, different polyphenol-stevioside inclusion compounds dispersed in a hydroalcoholic solution of chitosan oligomers have been investigated, with a view to their application as natural bioactive complexes to replace conventional systemic fungicides against this fungus. The polyphenols tested in vitro were curcumin, ferulic acid, gallic acid and silymarin. Three concentrations (125, 250 and 500 µg·mL−1) were assayed, with and without silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), and notable differences were found in the inhibition of mycelium growth, with EC50 and EC90 values ranging from 171 to 373.6 µg·mL−1, and from 446.2 to 963.7 µg·mL−1, respectively. The results obtained showed that the addition of AgNPs, despite their antimicrobial activity, did not always lead to synergies. In the case of P. cinnamomi, an unexpected antagonistic behavior was found for two of the polyphenols (curcumin and silymarin), while an additive behavior for ferulic acid and a synergistic behavior for gallic acid were attained. In view of their inhibitory power, the preparations based on ferulic acid with AgNPs and on silymarin without AgNPs are proposed for applications in crop and forests protection against P. cinnamomi.

Targeted Transdermal Delivery of Curcumin for Breast Cancer Prevention. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2019; 16:ijerph16244949.

Abstract
N.B. This manuscript is based on the research concept submitted to the "Global Challenge to Prevent Breast Cancer" idea showcase and competition, launched in 2018 by the California Breast Cancer Research Program (CBCRP), which was subsequently selected for publication. The hypothesis, methods, and discussion put forth here are thus proposed concept studies, which could eventually be elucidated in the future. Curcumin is an herbal supplement, shown in preclinical studies to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antitumoral properties that we believe can be harnessed for breast cancer prevention. However, due to its poor absorption when consumed orally, curcumin's anticancer effects have not yet been exploited to their full therapeutic potential. Incorporating existing research that focuses on the optimization of curcumin's bioavailability and the latest transdermal delivery technology, we propose, below, a hypothetical in vivo study to test whether a targeted daily dose of bioavailable curcumin has a cytotoxic effect on cancer cells, potentially reducing the incidence of breast cancer over time. Our ultimate objective is to adopt innovative methods to create curcumin-infused bio-textiles offering transdermal, targeted drug delivery, simply through contact with the skin. We would use this fabric to create disposable bra inserts for an effortless, daily breast cancer prevention regimen for healthy women. It would be essential that the cost of these inserts remain reasonable, but if successful, curcumin is readily available, affordable and non-toxic, and could thus be a preventive measure that would be beneficial for women from all socio-economic backgrounds.

Abstract
In this study, the solubility of phloretin (PT) was enhanced via steviol glycoside (STE)-based micelle (MC) and solid dispersion (SD). Computer simulation, characterization, interaction with serum albumin (SA) and in vitro release were carried out to investigate the solubilization mechanisms and the difference in their solubilization capacities. For PT-loaded MC (STE-PT MC), PT was encapsulated into the hydrophobic core of a spherical micelle with a droplet diameter of 5 nm. For PT-loaded SD (STE-PT SD), PT was completely dispersed with the amorphous state in STE. Most of those PTs were directly dissolved in water, and few were encapsulated by STE micelles. The amorphous state combined with relatively large micelles contributed to the high solubilization capacity of STE-PT SD. In addition, PT of STE-PT SD exhibited a higher dissolution rate and more effective interaction with SA than that of STE-PT MC. No undesirable chemical interaction between PT and STE occurred.

Abstract
Exploration of novel bioactive molecules or potentiation of the existing bioactive molecules is necessary to reduce the burden of the infectious diseases for the better human health. Curcumin is a promising molecule with huge therapeutic potential. Despite high bioactivity, its therapeutic suitability is shadowed by poor bioavailability, limited aqueous solubility, and short shelf life. Nanotechnology has generated new avenues to overcome these challenges. In the current study polymer assisted nanoliposomes, PEGylated Curcumin nanoliposomes with good loading efficiency were prepared. These particles have shown 1000 fold enhanced curcumin hydrophilicity and tenfold higher stability. In vitro release kinetic indicates two fold higher curcumin release in the simulated gastric and intestinal environment. Various bioactivity assays have confirmed enhanced bioactivity of nanocurcmin in comparison of the native curcumin. PEGylated Curcumin nanoliposomes could be employed for treating various diseases.

Abstract
Sweet leaf, Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni, is a perennial plant species widely known for its sweet-tastingent-kaurene type diterpenoid glycosides (steviol glucosides). Steviol glucosides include rubusoside (Ru), stevioside (Ste), and rebaudioside (Reb), which have immunomodulatory capability and protective effects against hyperglycemia, hypertension, inflammation, tumors, and diarrhea. In addition, they can enhance the solubility of epotoside, liquiritin, paclitaxel, curcuminoids, quercetin, and wheat bran flavonoids, thus increasing their permeability. The hydrolysis of three glucosyl groups at positions C13 and C19 of Ste will produce steviolbioside, steviol, isosteviol, steviol mono-glucoside, or Ru. S. rebaudiana contains these hydrolyzed products in trace amounts. This chapter describes recent advances in the preparation of various steviol glycosides from Ste by using different β-glycosidases, with particular focus on their potential industrial applications as natural solubilizers of insoluble compounds. Furthermore, the reaction mechanism of β-glycosidases and their kinetic properties are summarized.

Abstract
l-Carnitine is an essential compound that shuttles long chain fatty acids into mitochondria. The objective of this study was to produce l-carnitine enriched oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) using common buckwheat fermented by Rhizopus oligosporus. Mushroom grown on common buckwheat medium contained 9.9–23.9% higher l-carnitine (186.3 mg/kg) than those grown on basal medium without any buckwheat addition. Those grown on fermented common buckwheat medium contained the highest l-carnitine content (201.2 mg/kg). Size index and lightness of mushroom pileus (L*) were also the highest (100.7 and 50.6, respectively) for those grown in medium added with fermented common buckwheat (20%, w/w). Antioxidant activities of both mushroom extracts (1.5 mg/mL) showed the same level as 38.7% for mushroom grown in media added with common buckwheat or fermented common buckwheat. At the treatment concentration of 300 μg/mL, viabilities of murine macrophage cell line Raw 264.7 cells treated with ethanol extract of oyster mushroom grown on buckwheat medium ranged from 58.9 to 67.8%. The oyster mushroom grown on buckwheat and fermented buckwheat medium can be used as one of the substitutes for meat based diets.

Abstract
Phytophthora cinnamomi, responsible for "root rot" or "dieback" plant disease, causes a significant amount of economic and environmental impact. In this work, the fungicide action of nanocomposites based on silver nanoparticles and polyphenol inclusion compounds, which feature enhanced bioavailability and water solubility, was assayed for the control of this soil-borne water mold. Inclusion compounds were prepared by an aqueous two-phase system separation method through extraction, either in an hydroalcoholic solution with chitosan oligomers (COS) or in a choline chloride:urea:glycerol deep eutectic solvent (DES). The new inclusion compounds were synthesized from stevioside and various polyphenols (gallic acid, silymarin, ferulic acid and curcumin), in a [6:1] ratio in the COS medium and in a [3:1] ratio in the DES medium, respectively. Their in vitro response against Phytophthora cinnamomi isolate MYC43 (at concentrations of 125, 250 and 500 µg·mL-1) was tested, which found a significant mycelial growth inhibition, particularly high for the composites prepared using DES. Therefore, these nanocomposites hold promise as an alternative to fosetyl-Al and metalaxyl conventional systemic fungicides.
