Abstract
Reactive carbonyl species (RCS) induce a fundamental form of biological stress that has driven the evolution of diverse mechanisms for minimizing its impact on organismal health. The complications that accompany uncontrolled hyperglycemia exemplify the health implications when RCS stress exceeds the body's capacity to prevent the excessive formation of advanced glycation end-products. Presented here is a novel quantitative NMR (qNMR) technique for evaluating scavengers of the prominent sugar-derived carbonyl methylglyoxal (MGO). This tool was employed to screen the chemical diversity of marine macroalgae extracts, with a focus on species that have a history of consumption by the World's healthiest populations and are subject to global scale aquacultural production. Fucus vesiculosus demonstrated the highest capacity for inhibiting glycation and scavenging MGO. Additionally, the Chondrus cripsus, Gracilaria vermiculophyla, and Gracilaria tikvahiae extracts had a high capacity for scavenging MGO, representing the first report of this activity. This new qNMR methodology presented is highly applicable for screening extracts and compounds from diverse sources, and the results highlight the potential of macroalgae extracts to be employed as RCS and AGE targeting therapeutics and food additives.

Abstract
Scavenging MGO has been considered as an effective strategy for preventing atherosclerosis. A previous study showed that the total flavonoids of Apocyni Veneti Folium (TFAVF) had a significant antiatherosclerotic effect. However, there are no studies that have investigated the MGO scavenging capacities of TFAVF in mice. We found that TFAVF consisted mainly of quercetin glycosides and kaempferol glycosides using ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QTOF-MS/MS). TFAVF was first demonstrated to effectively scavenge MGO in mice based on the formation of mono-MGO-quercetin, mono-MGO-dehydroquercetin, mono-MGO-isorhamnetin, mono-MGO-dehydroisorhamnetin, mono-MGO-kaempferol, and mono-MGO-dehydrokaempferol. In addition, one mono-MGO-quercetin was separated and purified, and its structure was elucidated as 8-MGO-quercetin based on UHPLC-QTOF-MS/MS and NMR data. Quantification studies have demonstrated that kaempferol, dehydrokaempferol, quercetin, dehydroquercetin, isorhamnetin, and dehydroisorhamnetin can dose dependently scavenge MGO in mice. Taken together, these results indicated that TFAVF showed a significant antiatherosclerotic effect, which might be based on MGO detoxification.

Abstract
Acrolein (ACR), methylglyoxal (MGO), and glyoxal (GO) are a class of reactive carbonyl species (RCS), which play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of chronic and age-related diseases. Here, we explored a new RCS inhibitor (theanine, THE) and investigated its capture capacity on RCS in vivo by human experiments. After proving that theanine could efficiently capture ACR instead of MGO/GO by forming adducts under simulated physiological conditions, we further detected the ACR/MGO/GO adducts of theanine in the human urine samples after consumption of theanine capsules (200 and 400 mg) or green tea (4 cups, containing 200 mg of theanine) by using ultraperformance liquid chromatography-time-of-flight-high-resolution mass spectrometry. Quantitative assays revealed that THE-ACR, THE-2ACR-1, THE-MGO, and THE-GO were formed in a dose-dependent manner in the theanine capsule groups; the maximum value of the adducts of theanine was also tested. Furthermore, besides the RCS adducts of theanine, the RCS adducts of catechins could also be detected in the drinking tea group. Whereas, metabolite profile analysis showed that theanine could better capture RCS produced in the renal metabolic pathway than catechins. Our findings indicated that theanine could reduce RCS in the body in two ways: as a pure component or contained in tea leaves.

Abstract
Di-d-psicose anhydride (DPA), derived from functional rare saccharide as d-psicose, is investigated for its strong chelating ability. Methylglyoxal (MGO), an important precursor of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), promotes obesity, and causes complications such as diabetic nephropathy. On mesangial cells, DPA can substantially reduce the negative effects of MGO. DPA effectively trapping MGO in mesangial cells. The bonding properties of the DPA-MGO adduct were discussed by mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The NMR spectra of the DPA-MGO adduct provide evidence for chelation bonding. The inhibition of AGE formation and the mass spectrometry results of the DPA-MGO adduct indicate that DPA can scavenge MGO at a molar ratio of 1:1. DPA suppressed 330 % of the up-regulated receptor for an AGEs protein expression to a normal level and restored the suppressed glyoxalase 1 level to 86 % of the normal group. This research provides important evidence and theoretical basis for the development of AGE inhibitors derived from rare saccharide.

Abstract
There is considerable research evidence that α-dicarbonyl compounds, including glyoxal (GO) and methylglyoxal (MGO), are closely related to many chronic diseases. In this work, after comparison of the capture capacity, reaction pathway, and reaction rate of synephrine (SYN) and neohesperidin (NEO) on GO/MGO in vitro, experimental mice were administrated with SYN and NEO alone and in combination. Quantitative data from UHPLC-QQQ-MS/MS revealed that SYN/NEO/HES (hesperetin, the metabolite of NEO) could form the GO/MGO-adducts in mice (except SYN-MGO), and the levels of GO/MGO-adducts in mouse urine and fecal samples were dose-dependent. Moreover, SYN and NEO had a synergistic scavenging effect on GO in vivo by promoting each other to form more GO adducts, while SYN could promote NEO to form more MGO-adducts, although it could not form MGO-adducts. Additionally, human experiments showed that the GO/MGO-adducts of SYN/NEO/HES found in mice were also detected in human urine and fecal samples after drinking flowers of Citrus aurantium L. var. amara Engl. (FCAVA) tea using UHPLC-QTOF-MS/MS. These findings provide a novel strategy to reduce endogenous GO/MGO via the consumption of dietary FCAVA rich in SYN and NEO.

Novel inhibitory effect of black chokeberry ( Aronia melanocarpa) from selected eight berries extracts on advanced glycation end-products formation and corresponding mechanism study.

Abstract
Numerous health hazards have been connected to advanced glycation end products (AGEs). In this investigation, using reaction models including BSA-fructose, BSA- methylglyoxal (MGO), and BSA-glyoxal (GO), we examined the anti-glycation potential of eight different berry species on AGEs formation. Our results indicate that black chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa) exhibited the highest inhibitory effects, with IC50 values of 0.35 ± 0.02, 0.45 ± 0.03, and 0.48 ± 0.11 mg/mL, respectively. Furthermore, our findings suggest that black chokeberry inhibits AGE formation by binding to BSA, which alleviates the conformation alteration, prevents protein cross-linking, and traps reactive α-dicarbonyls to form adducts. Notably, three major polyphenols, including cyanidin-3-O-galactoside, cyanidin-3-O-arabinoside, and procyanidin B2 from black chokeberry, showed remarkably inhibitory effect on MGO/GO capture, and new adducts formation was verified through LC-MS/MS analysis. In summary, our research provides a theoretical basis for the use of berries, particularly black chokeberry, as natural functional food components with potential anti-glycation effects.

Abstract
α-Dicarbonyl compounds, such as glyoxal (GO) and methylglyoxal (MGO), are a series of chemical hazards that exist in vivo and in vitro, posing a threat to human health. We aimed to explore the scavenging effects on GO/MGO by synephrine (SYN) alone or in combination with neohesperidin (NEO). First, through LC-MS/MS, we confirmed that both SYN and NEO could effectively remove GO and form GO adducts, while NEO could also clear MGO by forming MGO adducts, and its ability to clear MGO was stronger than that of GO. Second, a synergistic inhibitory effect on GO was found when SYN and NEO were used in combination by using the Chou-Talalay method; on the other hand, SYN could promote NEO to clear more MGO, although SYN could not capture MGO. Third, after synthesizing four GO/MGO-adducts (SYN-GO-1, SYN-GO-3, NEO-GO-7, and NEO-MGO-2) and identifying their structure through NMR, strict correlations between the GO/MGO-adducts and the GO/MGO-clearance rate were found when using SYN and NEO alone or in combination. Furthermore, it was inferred that the synergistic effect between SYN and NEO stems from their mutual promotion in capturing more GO by the quantitative analysis of the adducts in the combined model. Finally, a study was conducted on flowers of Citrus aurantium L. var. amara Engl. (FCAVA, an edible tea) rich in SYN and NEO, which could serve as an effective GO and MGO scavenger in the presence of both GO and MGO. Therefore, our study provided well-defined evidence that SYN and NEO, alone or in combination, could efficiently scavenge GO/MGO at high temperatures, whether in the pure form or located in FCAVA.

Comparison of the methylglyoxal scavenging effects of kaempferol and glutathione and the consequences for the toxicity of methylglyoxal in SH-SY5Y cells. Food Chem X 2023; 20:100920.

Abstract
This study aimed to characterize the methylglyoxal (MGO) scavenging capacity of glutathione (GSH) and kaempferol in more detail with special emphasis on the possible reversible nature of the adduct formation and their competition for MGO, and the safety consequences of their MGO-scavenging effects. GSH showed immediate and concentration-dependent MGO-scavenging effects, while the scavenging effects by kaempferol appeared concentration- but also time-dependent, with stable adducts formed over time. The GSH adduct gradually disappeared in a competition reaction with kaempferol, and kaempferol became the preferred scavenger over time. Furthermore, the scavenging of MGO by kaempferol provided better protection than GSH against extracellular MGO in SH-SY5Y cells. It is concluded that flavonoids like kaempferol provide better scavengers for food-borne MGO than thiol-based scavengers such as GSH, while, given the endogenous concentrations of both scavengers and the detoxification of the GSH-MGO adduct by the glyoxalase system, GSH will be dominant for intracellular MGO protection.

Abstract
Reactive α-dicarbonyls (α-DCs), such as methylglyoxal (MGO), glyoxal (GO), and 3-deoxyglucosone (3-DG), are potent precursors in the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). In particular, MGO and MGO-derived AGEs are thought to be involved in the development of vascular complications in diabetes. Experimental studies showed that citrus and pomegranate polyphenols can scavenge α-DCs. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a citrus and pomegranate complex (CPC) on the α-DCs plasma levels in a double-blind, placebo-controlled cross-over trial, where thirty-six elderly subjects were enrolled. They received either 500 mg of Citrus sinensis peel extract and 200 mg of Punica granatum concentrate in CPC capsules or placebo capsules for 4 weeks, with a 4-week washout period in between. For the determination of α-DCs concentrations, liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry was used. Following four weeks of CPC supplementation, plasma levels of MGO decreased by 9.8% (-18.7 nmol/L; 95% CI: -36.7, -0.7 nmol/L; p = 0.042). Our findings suggest that CPC supplementation may represent a promising strategy for mitigating the conditions associated with MGO involvement. This study was registered on clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03781999.

Abstract
Oxidative stress and multiple erythrocyte abnormalities have been observed in hypertension. We focused on the effects of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) inhibition by MLN-4760 inhibitor on angiotensin peptides, oxidative stress parameters, and selected erythrocyte quality markers in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). We also investigated the potential effects of polyphenolic antioxidant taxifolin when applied in vivo and in vitro following its incubation with erythrocytes. SHRs were divided into four groups: control, taxifolin-treated, MLN-4760-treated, and MLN-4760 with taxifolin. MLN-4760 administration increased the blood pressure rise independent of taxifolin treatment, whereas taxifolin decreased it in control SHRs. Body weight gain was also higher in ACE2-inhibited animals and normalized after taxifolin treatment. However, taxifolin did not induce any change in angiotensin peptide concentrations nor a clear antioxidant effect. We documented an increase in Na,K-ATPase enzyme activity in erythrocyte membranes of ACE2-inhibited SHRs after taxifolin treatment. In conclusion, ACE2 inhibition deteriorated some selected RBC properties in SHRs. Although taxifolin treatment did not improve oxidative stress markers, our data confirmed the blood pressure-lowering potential, anti-obesogenic effect, and some "erythroprotective" effects of this compound in both control and ACE2-inhibited SHRs. In vitro investigations documenting different effects of taxifolin on erythrocyte properties from control and ACE2-inhibited SHRs accentuated the irreplaceability of in vivo studies.

Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:1513. [PMID: 36009232 PMCID: PMC9405221 DOI: 10.3390/antiox11081513] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2022] [Revised: 07/16/2022] [Accepted: 07/26/2022] [Indexed: 01/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Glycoxidative stress with the consequent generation of advanced glycation end products has been implied in the etiology of numerous non-communicable chronic diseases. During the postprandial state, the levels of 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds can increase, depending on numerous factors, including characteristics of the subjects mainly related to glucose metabolism disorders and nutritional status, as well as properties related to the chemical composition of meals, including macronutrient composition and the presence of dietary bioactive molecules and macromolecules. In this review, we examine the chemical, biochemical, and physiological pathways that contribute to postprandial generation of 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds. The modulation of postprandial 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds is discussed in terms of biochemical pathways regulating the levels of these compounds, as well as the effect of phenolic compounds, dietary fiber, and dietary patterns, such as Mediterranean and Western diets.
