Abstract
Asparagus racemosus Linn. is an ethnopharmacologically important plant having extensive uses in Ayurveda, Unani, and Siddha. This study was carried out to evaluate the chemical profile of A. racemosus Linn. using GC-MS and FT-IR analysis, and its polyphenol content and antioxidant effects. Plants were collected from Bhujiyaghat, Nainital (29.3159° N, 79.5245° E) in Kumaun Himalayas. GC-MS with FT-IR analysis identified multiple functional groups, including carboxylic acid derivatives. Methyl 11, 12-octadecadienoate, was screened as the major compounds by GC-MS. A. racemosus contains a high concentration of phenols (80.92 ± 0.57 mg of GAE/g of DW), flavonoids (58.22 ± 1.62 mg of QE/g of DW), and tannins (86.77 ± 0.81 mg of TAE/g of DW). DPPH (24.63 ± 0.21 g/ml) and FRAP (72.49483 ± 0.130549 mg of AAE/g of DW) assays revealed the presence of significant antioxidant activity in A. racemosus.

Abstract
Herein, thermal and non-thermal techniques were used to elucidate the putative physical and chemical interactions between poorly water-soluble Kaempferia methoxyflavones and PEG400/propylene glycol. Additionally, the biocompatibility of methoxyflavone-glycol solutions was evaluated using Caco-2 cells whereas the absorptive transport was investigated by measuring the apparent permeability coefficient (P app) of the methoxyflavones and transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) of the Caco-2 cell monolayer. Data from differential scanning calorimetry, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopic analysis revealed physico-chemical compatibility between the three methoxyflavones and PEG400/propylene glycol. Furthermore, PEG400 and propylene glycol solutions of the methoxyflavones were shown to be compatible with Caco-2 cells at pharmacologically effective concentrations. In vitro transport studies across the Caco-2 cell monolayer revealed high P app values of 24.07 × 10-6 to 19.63 × 10-6 cm s-1 for PEG400 solutions of the methoxyflavones. The TEER values of the Caco-2 cell monolayers indicated that the increased drug transport was partly due to increased tight junction openings, but without compromising the epithelial barrier integrity. The good pharmaceutical and biocompatibility profiles, as well as improved transport of the methoxyflavones in PEG400 and propylene glycol solutions, are suggestive of the worthiness of this approach for further consideration pertaining to the development of these drugs into oral liquid dosage forms.

Abstract
Many bioactive nutraceuticals naturally occurring in food materials possess beneficial biological activities, while their use as functional supplements is subjected to hydrophobicity and crystallinity. Currently, inhibiting crystallization for such nutrients is of immense scientific interest. Here, we exploited diverse structural polyphenols as potential inhibitors for restraining Nobiletin crystallization. Specifically, the crystallization transition process could be influenced by the polyphenol gallol density, Nobiletin supersaturation (1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 mM), temperature (4, 10, 15, 25 and 37 ℃), and pH (3.5, 4, 4.5, 5), important factors for regulating the binding attachment and interactions. The optimized samples could be guided by NT100 lied in 4 ℃ at pH 4. Besides, the main assembly driving force was hydrogen-bonding cooperated with π-π stacking and electrostatic interaction, leading to a Nobiletin/TA combination ratio of ∼ 3:1. Our findings proposed an innovative synergistic strategy for inhibiting crystallization and broaden potential applications of polyphenol-based materials in advanced biological fields.

Potential of lignin multifunctionality for a sustainable skincare: Impact of emulsification process parameters and oil-phase on the characteristics of O/W Pickering emulsions. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 233:123561. [PMID: 36758754 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.123561] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2022] [Revised: 01/23/2023] [Accepted: 02/01/2023] [Indexed: 02/09/2023]
Abstract
Colloidal lignin particles (CLPs) from softwood kraft lignin were evaluated as a multifunctional ingredient to prepare bio-based oil-in-water (O/W) Pickering emulsions. After a preliminary screening, three Pickering emulsions systems were formulated using orange, coconut, and paraffin oils, at varying concentration of CLPs, oil/water ratio, and by applying two-step homogenisation processes (rotor-stator homogenisation followed by ultrasonication). Ultrasonication as a second homogenisation step considerably enhanced the emulsification efficiency, generating emulsions with smaller droplet size and less polydisperse distribution. Furthermore, the effect of ultrasonication on the characteristics of emulsions and the stability of the systems was evaluated over time. The oil content and type, the concentration of CLPs, and the homogenisation methods significantly influenced the characteristics of the emulsions and drop size. Higher concentrations of oil and CLPs favoured the formation of the emulsion and contributed to higher physical stability after 120 days of monitoring. The in vitro Sun Protection Factor (SPF) results demonstrated that the incorporation of natural oils containing phenolic compounds in Pickering formulations improves the SPF value of emulsions, showing an interesting synergic effect between lignin particles and vegetable oils, which was not observed in the case of paraffin oil. Furthermore, the broad-spectrum sun blocker of Pickering emulsions was confirmed by the values of UVA/UVB between 0.74 and 0.90 and Cλ > 380.

Abstract
Recently, the application of Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy as a noninvasive technique combined with chemometric methods has been widely noted for quality evaluation of agricultural products. Mulberry (Morus alba var. nigra L.) is a native fruit of Iran and there is limited information about its quality characteristics. The present study aims at assessing a nondestructive optical method for determining the internal quality of mulberry juice. To do so, first, FT-IR spectra were acquired in the spectral range 1000-8333 nm. Then, the principal component analysis (PCA) was used to extract the principal components (PCs) which were given as inputs to three predictive models (support vector regression (SVR), partial least square (PLS), and artificial neural network (ANN)) to predict the internal parameters of the mulberry juice. The performance of predictive models showed that SVR got better results for the prediction of ascorbic acid (R 2 = .84, RMSE = 0.29), acidity (R 2 = .71, RMSE = 0.0004), phenol (R 2 = .35, RMSE = 0.19), total anthocyanin (R 2 = .93, RMSE = 5.85), and browning (R 2 = .89, RMSE = 0.062) compared to PLS and ANN. However, the ANN predicted the parameters TSS (R 2 = .98, RMSE = 0.003) and pH (R 2 = .99, RMSE = 0.0009) better than the other two models. The results indicated that a good prediction performance was obtained using the FT-IR technique along with SVR and this method could be easily adapted to detect the quality parameters of mulberry juice.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance is one of the crucial public health challenges that we need to combat. Thus, in concern over public health and the economy, controlling the emergence of infectious diseases is critical worldwide. One of the ways to overcome the influences of antimicrobial resistance is by developing new, efficient, and improved antimicrobial agents. Medicinal plant-derived silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are under intensive examination for a variety of therapeutic purposes and targeted applications in nanomedicine and nanotechnology. Plants belonging to the genus Thevetia [Syn. Casabela], which is known for its medicinal uses and has rarely been applied for the synthesis of AgNPs, is an attractive alternative as they have a high content of secondary metabolites. Herein, using aqueous leaf extract of Cascabela thevetia, which was locally found in the Makkah region, Saudi Arabia, green synthesis of AgNPs is reported. Active components of Cascabela thevetia aqueous leaf extract were sufficient to reduce AgNO3 into AgNPs and stabilize them as this was confirmed through UV-Visible absorption, Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), filed emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies. UV-Visible, HPLC, and FTIR analysis demonstrated the presence of gallic acid in aqueous extract and solution of C-AgNPs. The spherical Cascabela thevetia derived C-AgNPs with an average diameter in the range of 20–30 nm were highly dispersed, as seen from FESEM and TEM images, and demonstrated the high antibacterial and antifungal activities when incubated with Gram-positive bacteria Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis), Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli (E. coli), Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhimurium), Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) and fungi Candida albicans (C. albicans) and Candida parapsilosis (C. parapsilosis). The lowest MIC values of C-AgNPs versus S. aureus, E. faecalis, and E. coli were found. Finally, the antioxidant activity and catalytic property of C-AgNPs were assessed by neutralizing DPPH free radical and reducing methylene blue and rhodamine B dyes, respectively.

Abstract
Stabilization of bioactive components, especially for hydrophobic functional factors, is a promising approach for improving their biological activity. Here, a metal-phenolic coordination chemistry that synthesizes biocompatible and biodegradable thin-film based on tannic acid (TA) and trivalent metal ion (Fe3+ or Al3+ ) is addressed, and the results also demonstrate its use for encapsulating a hydrophobic drug (Nobiletin, NOB) and triggering drug release for cancer treatment both in vitro and in vivo. This assembled system provides drug-loaded nanoparticles (NPs) with small, but uniform, size (∼200 nm). It displays beneficial potential in enhancing colloidal stability and preventing premature drug leakage. Moreover, the metal-phenolic coating is found to possess high cell biocompatibility as a delivery vector for controlled drug delivery, while the final fabricated drug NPs have effective anti-tumor activity by both inducing higher tumor apoptosis and inhibiting tumor metastasis, which is superior to naked drug formulations. Overall, our findings propose an effective and straightforward way for coating hydrophobic drugs employing interfacial adhesion and assembly, which could be a highly promising vehicle for controlled-release biomedical applications for cancer therapy.

Total phenolics, flavonoids, and antioxidant activity of agricultural wastes, and their ability to remove some pesticide residues. Toxicol Rep 2022; 9:628-635. [PMID: 35399213 PMCID: PMC8990048 DOI: 10.1016/j.toxrep.2022.03.038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2021] [Revised: 02/04/2022] [Accepted: 03/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) cause great risk to human health as they are used globally. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to determine the total phenolics, flavonoids, and antioxidant activity of agricultural waste, as well as to control the pesticide residues (diazinon, and parathion) at a laboratory scale level using dried-milled fruit wastes. The pesticide residues parathion and diazinon were used at concentrations of 0.094, and 1.90 mg/mL respectively. The fruit wastes used in this study were orange and banana peels, as well as date stones, and they were used in two concentrations (3 and 9 g/30 mL deionized water). The total phenolic and flavonoid contents and the antioxidant activity were measured in fruit wastes. Also, the Fourier transmitted infrared (FTIR) spectra of fruit wastes were established to figure out the nature of the functional groups found before and after pesticide residues removal. The ability of fruit wastes to remove pesticides residues was determined using Gas Chromatography/Mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Data showed that date stones contained a higher amount of total phenolic content than orange and banana peels. However, orange peels contained a higher amount of total flavonoid contents than those of date stones and banana peels. As for antioxidant activity, banana peels recorded the higher antioxidant activity, followed by orange peels and date stones respectively. Results revealed that there was no relation between total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, and antioxidant activity. Results also indicated that date stones at a concentration of 9 g successfully reduced diazinon (81.18%), followed by banana (63.86%) and orange peels (43.42%) respectively, whereas parathion was reduced by banana peels at a concentration of 9 g (50.34%), followed by orange peels (45.28%), and date stones (39.52%) respectively. This study demonstrated that agricultural wastes were effective in the adsorption of diazinon from water, and their use is considered safe for the environment. Date stones successfully reduced diazinon by 81.18%, whereas banana peels effectively reduced parathion by 50.34%. FTIR spectra of fruit wastes displaced severeal peaks. Date stones contained a higher amount of total phenolic content. Orange peels contained a higher amount of total flavonoid contents. Banana peels recorded the higher antioxidant activity.

Abstract
As a typical representative of polymethoxylated flavones, nobiletin (NOB) is beneficial to health but hard to be processed, stored, and absorbed, due to its hydrophobicity and crystallinity. Herein, we developed a stabilization system based on an efficient manufacturing procedure of NOB nanocrystal by anti-solvent method combined with ultrasonic treatment. Metal-phenolic networks composed of tannic acid and metal ions were introduced to conformally coat on formed nanocrystal for further stabilization. From the results, the size and morphology of the prepared particles could be altered by the amount, ratio, and kind of the coating materials. The optimized samples could be redispersed after centrifugation, and keep stable at 4 ℃ for at least 120 days. Moreover, they possessed higher acid stability and more effective release than the control sample during the in vitro digestion experiment. Therefore, this work provided a promising idea for overcoming storage and delivery obstacle of hydrophobic crystalline bioactive components.

Abstract
As the highest yield crop worldwide, citrus peels that possess bioactive compounds were discarded as a futile by-product. Ultrasonication with environmentally friendly solvent (50% ethanol and ddH2O) were used in the present study to extract flavonoids from Citrus depressa Hayata peels with extraction period and fruit maturity as other variables. DPPH scavenging activity was investigated. Qualitative flavonoid content analysis was done by UV/Vis and FTIR-ATR spectra. Quantification of flavonoid using LC-MS/MS found that solvent type, fruit maturity, and ultrasonication period significantly affect the extracted flavonoid yield (p < 0.05). Extraction using 50% ethanol showed a higher yield than ddH2O. Flavonoid content was also higher in unripe than ripe samples. Nobiletin, tangeretin, and rutin were dominant among the identified compounds in all sample treatments. Flavonoid content in Citrus depressa Hayata extract was found to negatively correlate to DPPH scavenging activity, which needs further research to identify other bioactivities of these flavonoids. Utilization of simple ultrasonication method with less preparation to extract flavonoids from Citrus depressa Hayata peels. Fruit maturity, extraction time and solvent preference significantly affect the yield of extracted flavonoid. Environmentally friendly solvent for extraction, deliver a comparable yield of flavonoid compounds to other methods. The negative correlation of extracted flavonoid to DPPH scavenging activity.

Abstract
Eriocitrin plays a role in the reduction of oxidative stress and inflammation linked to the development of diabetes mellitus and atherosclerosis. We investigated the pharmacokinetics and distribution of eriocitrin metabolites in rats orally administered with eriocitrin. Plasma, urine, and organs were collected at 12 different time points from 0 to 24 h and analyzed by HPLC-PDA-MS. For the first time, the metabolism and distribution of orally administered eriocitrin were shown. Nine metabolites of eriocitrin were identified in rat urine, and seven in various tissues (eriodictyol, homoeriodictyol, hesperetin, and glucuronidated metabolites), and preliminary identifications of these metabolites are suggested. Overall, eriocitrin metabolites were widely distributed in the rat tissues, where homoeriodictyol and homoeriodictyol-7-O-glucuronide were the major metabolites. The half-lives of the metabolites in plasma were between 3 and 3.2 h, and the total bioavailability of eriocitrin was less than 1%.

Continuous Microalgal Cultivation for Antioxidants Production. Molecules 2020; 25:molecules25184171. [PMID: 32933083 PMCID: PMC7570968 DOI: 10.3390/molecules25184171] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2020] [Revised: 09/02/2020] [Accepted: 09/08/2020] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Microalgae, including cyanobacteria, represent a valuable source of natural compounds that have remarkable bioactive properties. Each microalga species produces a mixture of antioxidants with different amounts of each compound. Three aspects are important in the production of bioactive compounds: the microalga species, the medium composition including light supplied and the photobioreactor design, and operation characteristics. In this study, the antioxidant content and productivity performance of four microalgae were assessed in batch and continuous cultures. Biomass productivity by the four microalgae was substantially enhanced under continuous cultivation by 5.9 to 6.3 times in comparison with batch cultures. The energetic yield, under the experimental conditions studied, ranged from 0.03 to 0.041 g biomass kJ−1. Phenols, terpenoids, and alkaloids were produced by Spirulinaplatensis, Isochrysisgalbana, and Tetraselmissuecica, whereas tocopherols and carotenoids were produced by the four microalgae, except for phycocyanin and allophycocyanin, which were only produced by S. platensis and Porphyridiumcruentum. The findings demonstrate that the continuous cultivation of microalgae in photobioreactors is a convenient method of efficiently producing antioxidants.

Application of ATR-FT-MIR for Tracing the Geographical Origin of Honey Produced in the Maltese Islands. Foods 2020; 9:foods9060710.

Abstract
Maltese honey has been produced, marketed, and sold as an exclusive local gourmet food product for countless years. Yet, thus far, no study has evaluated the individuality of this local food product. The evaluation of the parameters and properties which characterise the provenance and floral source of honey have been the subject of various studies worldwide, owing to the price and potential beneficial properties of this food product. Models analysing the potential of attenuated total reflection mid-infrared (ATR-FT-MIR) spectroscopy in discriminating and classifying local honey from that of foreign origin were investigated using 21 Maltese honey samples and 49 honey samples collected from abroad (Sicily, Greece, Sweden, Italy, France, Estonia and other samples of mixed geographical origin). Through a combination of spectroscopic techniques, spectral transformations, variable selection and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), chemometric models which successfully classified the provenance of local and non-local honey were developed. The results of these models were also corroborated with other classification and pattern recognition techniques, such as linear discriminate analysis (LDA), support vector machines (SVM) and feed-forward artificial neural networks (FF-ANN).

Abstract
The properties of high loading capacity and long-term absorption are of great significance in the field of nutraceuticals or drugs delivery. Herein, we developed an innovative method to achieve these expected effects using plant exine capsules, a kind of natural pollen grains, which could provide large internal cavities for loading and robust exine against harsh conditions. In our work, we firstly made a soluble mixture of glycerol monostearate (GM) and nobiletin (NOB) inside the cavities of plant exine capsules by ultrasound with high temperature to obtain a supersaturated state of NOB, which could be characterized by XRD, DSC and FTIR. After that, the loaded capsules were cooled to room temperature. Alginate hydrogels were then selected for encapsulating and further controlling NOB release in simulated gastric and intestinal conditions. As a result, it demonstrated that our approach was able to reach an extremely high NOB loading capacity of 770 ± 40 mg/g using sunflower pollen grains (SPGs). Meanwhile, the existence of GM, SPGs and alginate hydrogels all retarded the release of the NOB synergistically, thus taking a slow release effect in the stomach while a long-term effective absorption in the intestine. Taken together, our processing method of encapsulating hydrophobic nutraceuticals provides an important insight for broadening the applications of nutraceutical or drug encapsulation and delivery.

Abstract
Protein-based nanoparticles (NPs) with favorable properties including enhanced absorptivity and low toxicity still suffer a major challenge for rapid nutraceutical or drug release after oral administration. Hence, we introduced a secondary encapsulation for unstable factor to attain a controlled-release effect in a gastrointestinal environment. In this work, assembled nanoparticles engineered by nobiletin (NOB), zein, and tannin acid (TA) were first reported for drug delivery systems. The TA added was capable of obtaining further assembly to stabilize nobiletin in comparison with NOB-loaded zein NPs only. Sunflower pollens (SPGs) were selected as carriers for further oral delivery, while zein was chosen as a coating material for capping SPGs absolutely. As a result, the NOB/zein/TA NPs (NZT NPs) obtained had a stable size of 100 nm after 48 h. Besides, they could improve the chemical stability of NOB for at least 120 days at 4 °C compared with zein NPs (ZT NPs). Owing to the secondary capping by SPGs, the final system was able to release selectively via an oral route, that is, achieving no release in a gastric environment and slow release in an intestine environment. Generally, our research proposed a secondary protection model to prevent drug-loaded NPs from resolving after oral administration, which provided a new perspective for nutraceutical or drug encapsulation and controlled-release delivery.

Abstract
Propolis samples from north-west Argentina (Amaicha del Valle, Tucumán) were evaluated by palynology, FT-IR spectra, and RP-HPTLC. In addition, the volatile fraction was studied by HS-SPME-GC/MS. The botanical species most visited by Apis mellifera L. near the apiaries were collected and their RP-HPTLC extracts profiles were compared with propolis samples. In addition, GC/MS was performed for volatile compounds from Zuccagnia punctata Cav. (Fabaceae). FT-IR spectra and RP-HPTLC fingerprints of propolis samples showed similar profiles. In RP-HPTLC analyses, only Z. punctata presented a similar fingerprint to Amaicha propolis. The major volatile compounds present in both were trans-linalool oxide (furanoid), 6-camphenone, linalool, trans-pinocarveol, p-cymen-8-ol, and 2,3,6-trimethylbenzaldehyde. Potential variations for the Amaicha del Valle propolis volatile fraction as consequence of propolis sample preparation were demonstrated.

Abstract
The studies on chemical composition and biological activity of propolis had focused mainly on species Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera: Apidae). There are few studies about the uncommon propolis collected by stingless bees of the Meliponini tribe known as geopropolis. The geopropolis from Scaptotrigona postica was collected in the region of Barra do Corda, Maranhão state, Brazil. The chemical analysis of hydromethanolic extract of this geopropolis (HMG) was carried out through HPLC-DAD-ESI-MS/MS and the main constituents found were pyrrolizidine alkaloids and C-glycosyl flavones. The presence of alkaloids in extracts of propolis is detected for the first time in this sample. The antiviral activity of HMG was evaluated through viral DNA quantification experiments and electron microscopy experiments. Quantification of viral DNA from herpes virus showed reduction of about 98% in all conditions and concentration tested of the HMG extract. The results obtained were corroborated by transmission electron microscopy, in which the images did not show particle or viral replication complex. The antiviral activity of C-glycosyl flavones was reported for a variety of viruses, being observed at different points in the viral replication. This work is the first report about the antiviral activity of geopropolis from Scaptotrigona postica, in vitro, against antiherpes simplex virus (HSV).

Abstract
This study was conducted to evaluate the oral absorption of enrofloxacin (ENFX) in rats when administered with orange oil or its main component, limonene. Compared with the group administered ENFX alone, the ENFX + limonene group did not show any significant difference in the absorption of ENFX, whereas the extent and rate of absorption of ENFX were significantly decreased in the ENFX + orange oil group (C(max), -43%; T(max), 129%). In addition, t(1/2λz) and MRT of ENFX were prolonged by the concomitant administration of orange oil. The AUCs of ENFX were not affected in the ENFX + orange oil group. These results suggest that decreased oral absorption could reduce the efficacy of ENFX therapy in animals.
