Front Nutr 2022; 9:1048520.

Abstract
Piper cubeba L.f. (Piperaceae), known as cubeb, is a popular traditional herbal medicine used for the treatment of many diseases, especially digestive and respiratory disorders. The plant is rich in essential oil, found mainly in fruits, and this makes it economically important. Many traditional utilizations have been also validated from the plant and its isolated compounds owing to their antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects. These biological activities are attributed to the phytochemicals (phenolic compounds, lignans and alkaloids) and the essential oil of the plant. The present work aims to provide an up-to-date review on the traditional uses, phytochemistry and pharmacology of the plant and discusses the future perspectives to promote its valorization for nutritional- and health-promoting effects.

Abstract
Two biphenyl-type neolignans with a rare dibenzofuran skeleton, including a new one piyunneolignan A (1) and a known one piperneolignan D (2), together with a new sesquiterpenoid piyunin A (3), were isolated from the leaves and twigs of Piper yunnanense. Their structures were established on the basis of comprehensive spectroscopic data analysis and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculation. Piyunneolignan A (1) featured a rare C-2-C-2'/C-3-O-C-3' linkage. Compounds 1-3 were evaluated for their antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities against a panel of bacteria, fungi, and human cancer cell lines, respectively.

In Vivo and in Silico Trypanocidal Activity Evaluation of (-)-Cubebin Encapsulated in PLGA Microspheres as Potential Treatment in Acute Phase. Chem Biodivers 2021; 18:e2100052.

Abstract
In this study, the trypomastigotes of a Y strain of Trypanosoma cruzi were inoculated intraperitoneally into male BALB/c mice weighing approximately 25 g each, which were divided into groups for evaluation of the trypanocidal activity. For the treatment of experimental groups, encapsulated and unencapsulated (-)-cubebin, Benznidazole, and two groups as negative controls were used. The encapsulated (-)-cubebin showed a 68.1 % encapsulation efficiency. The parasitemia peak of substances remained around the 9th day after the observed reduction in the number of circulating trypomastigotes. The encapsulated (-)-cubebin and (-)-cubebin unloaded showed a decrease of 61.3 % and 58.5 % in the number of parasites as compared to the negative control, respectively. Moreover, animals treated with encapsulated (-)-cubebin had a higher survival time as compared to the other groups. In conclusion, the results obtained were more promising for encapsulated (-)-cubebin as compared to unloaded particles.

Evaluation of the status quo of polyphenols analysis: Part II-Analysis methods and food processing effects. Compr Rev Food Sci Food Saf 2020; 19:3219-3240. [PMID: 33337047 DOI: 10.1111/1541-4337.12626] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2020] [Revised: 07/21/2020] [Accepted: 07/28/2020] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
Nowadays due to the concern with the environmental impact of analytical techniques and in order to reduce the ecological footprint there is a tendency to use more efficient and faster procedures that use a smaller amount of organic solvents. Polyphenols have been widely studied in plant-based matrices due to their wide and potent biological properties; however there are no standardized procedures both for sample preparation and analysis of these compounds. The second of a two-part review will carry out a critical review of the extraction procedures and analytical methods applied to polyphenols and their selection criteria over a wide range of factors in relation to commerce-associated, environmental, and economic factors. It is foreseen that in the future the analysis of polyphenols in plant-based matrices includes the use of techniques that allow the simultaneous determination of different subclasses of polyphenols using fast, sophisticated, and automated techniques that allow the minimal consumption of solvents.

Effect of light, oxygen and temperature on the stability of artepillin C and p-coumaric acid from Brazilian green propolis. J Pharm Biomed Anal 2019; 178:112922. [PMID: 31679843 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2019.112922] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2019] [Revised: 10/05/2019] [Accepted: 10/09/2019] [Indexed: 01/17/2023]
Abstract
Brazilian Green Propolis (BGP) is an important bee product, which displays important biological activities, making it valuable in the international market. The major prenylated phenolic compound in BPG is (E)-artepillin C, along with its precursor (E)-p-coumaric acid, both contributing to the biological effects of BGP. Taking that into account, it was evaluated the effect of light, temperature and air oxygen in their content to establish the best storage and transport conditions for crude BGP and the pure compounds. For that, (E)-artepillin C and (E)-p-coumaric acid were initially submitted to degradation for five days under sunlight and high temperature (50 °C), furnishing three major (E)-Artepillin C isomers and one from (E)-p-coumaric acid. Then, it was developed and validated a Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography (RP-HPLC) method for quantifying these compounds in crude BGP and in its extracts. In the stability studies, it was used a Full Factorial and Central Composite Design to establish the desirable storage conditions. (E)-Artepillin C, both pure and in BGP should be kept protected from light and storage below -2.5 °C. (E)-p-Coumaric acid can be stored at room temperature. Therefore, the best storage and transport conditions to keep the content of both compounds in BGP are protection from light at low temperatures.
