Abstract
Hesperidin is a phenolic compound usually found in citrus fruits, which is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. This bioactive compound has already been used to formulate medications to treat chronic venous insufficiency. In this work, through a system which allows the in-line coupling of the pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) and high-intensity ultrasound (HIUS) with solid phase extraction (SPE), and analysis by high-performance liquid chromatography with UV-Vis detector (HPLC-UV) in on-line mode, a method was developed to obtain, separate, and quantify hesperidin from the industrial waste of lime. An eco-friendly approach with water and ethanol as extraction solvents was used. Parameters such as temperature (80, 100, and 120 °C) and HIUS power (0, 200, and 400 W) were evaluated regarding hesperidin yield. In this context, the higher hesperidin yield (18.25 ± 1.52 mg/g) was achieved using water at a subcritical state (120 °C and 15 MPa). The adsorbent SepraTM C-18-E isolated hesperidin from the other extracted compounds employing 50% ethanol in the SPE elution. The possibility ofon-lineanalysis coupling a high-performance liquid chromatograph to an ultraviolet detector (HPLC-UV) system was studied and shown to be a feasible approach for developing integrated technologies. Conventional extractions and their antioxidant capacities were evaluated, highlighting the advantages of the HIUS-PLE-SPE extractive method. Furthermore, the on-linechromatographic analysis showed the potential of the HIUS-PLE-SPE- HPLC-UV system to quantify the extracted compounds in real time.

Abstract
The increasing oxidative stress demands potential chemical compounds derived from natural resources with good antioxidant activity to overcome adverse health issues. In this context, we investigated the antioxidant properties of four dibenzopyrone phenolic compounds obtained from the endophytic fungus Alternaria alternata: altenusin, altenusin B, alterlactone, and dehydroaltenusin using DFT calculations. Our investigation focused on understanding the structure-antioxidant property relationship. It delved into probing the activity by modelling the antioxidant mechanisms. The computed transition states and thermochemical parameters, along with the structural attributes, indicate that altenusin B has good antioxidant efficacy among the four compounds, and it follows the HAT mechanism in an aqueous phase. Remarkably, our findings indicate that altenusin B exhibits potent HOO˙ radical scavenging properties, characterized by the computed high rate constant. The molecular docking studies of these compounds with the pro-oxidant enzyme xanthine oxidase (XO) gave insights into the binding modes of the compounds in the protein environment. Furthermore, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were employed to study the interaction and stability of the compounds inside the XO enzyme. Our exploration sheds light on the radical scavenging potential of the -OH sites and the underlying antioxidant mechanisms that underpin the compounds' effective antioxidant potential.

Preparative separation of iridoid glucosides and crocins from Gardeniae Fructus using sequential macroporous resin column chromatography and evaluation of their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci 2023; 1229:123887. [PMID: 37714051 DOI: 10.1016/j.jchromb.2023.123887] [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: 08/04/2023] [Revised: 09/03/2023] [Accepted: 09/09/2023] [Indexed: 09/17/2023]
Abstract
Iridoid glycosides (geniposide (GP), genipin-1-gentiobioside (GB), etc.) and crocins (crocin Ⅰ (CR1), crocin Ⅱ(CR2), etc.) are two main bioactive components in Gardeniae Fructus (GF), which is a famous traditional Chinese medicine. Iridoid glycosides exhibit many activities and are used to manufacture gardenia blue pigment for the food industry. Crocins are rare natural water-soluble carotenoids that are often used as food colorants. A sequential macroporous resin column chromatography technology composed of HC-500B and HC-900B resins was developed to selectively separate iridoid glucosides and crocins from GF. The adsorption of GP on HC-900B resin was an exothermic process. The adsorption of CR1 on HC-500B resin was an endothermic process. The two kinds of components were completely separated by a sequential resin column. GB and GP were mainly found in product 1 (P1) with purities of 11.38% and 46.83%, respectively, while CR1 and CR2 were mainly found in product 2 (P2) with purities of 12.32% and 1.40%, respectively. The recovery yields of all the compounds were more than 80%. The above results showed that sequential resin column chromatography technology achieved high selectivity and recovery yields. GF extract, P1 and P2 could significantly inhibit the secretion of nitric oxide (NO), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW264.7 cells, indicating that iridoid glycosides and crocins provide a greater contribution to the anti-inflammatory activity of GF. At the same time, compared to the GF extract and P1, P2 exhibited stronger scavenging activities against 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radicals, indicating that crocins may provide a significant contribution to the antioxidant activity of GF.

Abstract
This work aimed to obtain and characterize anthocyanin-rich extracts (ARE) from native black beans and evaluate their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential. The initial extract was obtained by supercritical fluids (RE) and purified using Amberlite® XAD-7 resin (PE). RE and PE were fractionated using countercurrent chromatography, and four fractions were obtained (REF1 and REF2 from RE, PEF1, and PEF2 from PE). ARE and fractions were characterized, and the biological potential was evaluated. ABTS IC50 values ranged from 7.9 to 139.2 (mg C3GE/L), DPPH IC50 ranged from 9.2 to 117.2 (mg C3GE/L), and NO IC50 ranged from 0.6 to143.8 (mg C3GE/L) (p < 0.05). COX-1 IC50 ranged from 0.1 to 0.9 (mg C3GE/L), COX-2 IC50 ranged from 0.01 to 0.7 (mg C3GE/L), and iNOS IC50 ranged from 0.9 to 5.6 (mg C3GE/L) (p < 0.05). The theoretical binding energy for phenolic compounds ranged from -8.45 to -1.4 kcal/mol for COX-1, from -8.5 to -1.8 kcal/mol for COX-2, and from -7.2 to -1.6 kcal/mol for iNOS. RE and REF2 presented the highest antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential. Countercurrent chromatography effectively isolates and purifies bioactive compounds while maintaining their biological potential. Native black beans present an attractive phytochemical profile and could be used as ingredients in nutraceuticals and functional foods.

Abstract
Free sugars from fruit wastes were evaluated for the production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) in Paraburkholderia sacchari fed-batch bioreactor fermentations. Different initial sugar concentration, carbon to inorganic phosphorus (C/IP) ratio, IP addition during feeding and volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient (kLa) were evaluated to promote PHB production. The highest intracellular PHB accumulation (66.6%), PHB concentration (108.3 g/L), productivity (3.28 g/L/h) and yield (0.33 g/g) were achieved at 40 g/L initial sugars, C/IP 26.5, 202.6 h-1kLa value and 20% IP supplementation in the feeding solution. The effect of different cell's harvesting time on PHB properties showed no influence in weight average molecular weight and thermal properties. The harvest time influenced the tensile strength that was reduced from 28.7 MPa at 22 h to 13.3 MPa at 36 h. The elongation at break and Young's modulus were in the range 3.6-14.8% and 830-2000 MPa, respectively.
