Abstract
There is a substantial rise in the global incidence of obesity. Brown rice contains metabolic substances that can help minimize the prevalence of obesity. This study evaluated nine brown rice varieties using probiotic fermentation using Pediococcus acidilacti MNL5 to enhance bioactive metabolites and their efficacy. Among the nine varieties, FBR-1741 had the highest pancreatic lipase inhibitory efficacy (87.6 ± 1.51%), DPPH assay (358.5 ± 2.80 mg Trolox equiv./100 g, DW), and ABTS assay (362.5 ± 2.32 mg Trolox equiv./100 g, DW). Compared to other fermented brown rice and FBR-1741 varieties, UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS demonstrated significant untargeted metabolite alterations. The 17 most abundant polyphenolic metabolites in the FBR-1741 variety and 132 putative targets were assessed for obesity-related target proteins, and protein interaction networks were constructed using the Cystoscope software. Network pharmacology analysis validated FBR-1741 with active metabolites in the C. elegans obesity-induced model. Administration of FBR-1741 with ferulic acid improved lifespan decreased triglycerides, and suppressed the expression of fat-related genes. The enhanced anti-obesity properties of FBR-1741 suggest its implementation in obesity-functional food.

Appraisals on the chemical characterization and biological potentials of Ranunculus constantinopolitanus extracts using chromatographic, computational, and molecular network approaches. Food Chem Toxicol 2023; 181:114064. [PMID: 37793470 DOI: 10.1016/j.fct.2023.114064] [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: 09/02/2023] [Revised: 09/21/2023] [Accepted: 09/25/2023] [Indexed: 10/06/2023]
Abstract
In this context, phytochemicals were extracted from Ranunculus constantinopolitanus using ethyl acetate (EA), ethanol, ethanol/water (70%), and water solvent. The analysis encompassed quantification of total phenolic and flavonoid content using spectrophotometric assays, chemical profiling via high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) for the extracts, and assessment of antioxidant activity via 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS), Cupric reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), metal chelating (MCA), and phosphomolybdenum (PBD) assays. Moreover, antimicrobial activity was assessed against four different bacterial strains, as well as various yeasts. Enzyme inhibitory activities were evaluated against five types of enzymes. Additionally, the extracts were examined for their anticancer and protective effects on several cancer cell lines and the human normal cell line. All of the extracts exhibited significant levels of ferulic acid, kaempferol, and caffeic acid. All tested extracts demonstrated antimicrobial activity, with Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa being most sensitive to EA and ethanol extracts. Molecular docking studies revealed that kaempferol-3-O-glucoside strong interactions with AChE, BChE and tyrosinase. In addition, network pharmacology showed an association between gastric cancer and kaempferol-3-O-glucoside. Based on the results, R. constantinopolitanus can be a potential reservoir of bioactive compounds for future bioproduct innovation and pharmaceutical industries.

Phytochemical profiling, in vitro antioxidants, and antidiabetic efficacy of ethyl acetate fraction of Lespedeza cuneata on streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:60976-60993.

Abstract
In the recent past, phytomolecules are exponentially applied in discovering the antidiabetic drug due to less adverse effects. This work screened the active solvent fraction of Lespedeza cuneata based on the phytochemical, enzyme inhibition, and antioxidant properties. The antioxidant efficacy of the different fractions of the L. cuneata was assessed by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), ferric reducing power, hydrogen peroxide, and hydroxyl radical scavenging assays. The digestive enzyme (α-amylase and α-glucosidase) inhibitory activity was also evaluated. The phytochemical composition of ethyl acetate fraction of L. cuneata (Lc-EAF) was studied by UHPLC-QTOF-MS/MS. The effect of Lc-EAF treatments on glucose uptake was studied in insulin resistance HepG2 cells (IR-HepG2). Further, the antidiabetic effect of Lc-EAF in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice were demonstrated. Ethyl acetate, hexane, and methanol fractions of the L. cuneata showed notable antioxidant, α-amylase, and α-glucosidase inhibitory properties. Among the fractions, Lc-EAF was found to be the most potent. The Lc-EAF exhibited an IC50 of 205.32 ± 23.47 µg/mL and 105.32 ± 13.93 µg/mL for α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibition, respectively. In addition, 75 µg/mL of Lc-EAF exposure enhanced glucose uptake (68.23%) in IR-HepG2 cells. In vivo study indicated that treatment of Lc-EAF (100 mg/kg b.wt) maintained the blood glucose level through reduced insulin level while improving the lipid profile, hepatic, and renal markers. These findings suggest that Lc-EAF could be considered a prominent source for antidiabetic, anti-hyperlipidemic, and anti-ROS potentials.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To screen the selected phytochemicals against diabetes by docking studies in comparison with experimental analysis. METHODS Ethanol crude extract was obtained from the leaves of C.intybus and its chemical compounds were identified using GC- MS. Docking studies were carried out for selected phytochemicals to find the binding affinity and H-bond interaction using Schrodinger suite. Dynamic simulations were carried out for protein-ligand complex up to 50ns using desmond OPLS AA forcefield and α- Amylase and α- Glucosidase assay were carried for the ethanolic extract to infer its inhibition. RESULTS Four compounds were chosen for induced fit docking based on the docking score and glide energy obtained from GLIDE-XP docking. The compounds were docked with the protein target human aldose reductase (PDB ID: 2FZD) for checking the anti-diabetic nature. The molecular dynamics simulations were carried out for the most favorable compounds and stability was checked during the simulations. The ethanol extract exhibits significant α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities with an IC50 value of 38μg and 88μg dry extract, respectively, and well compared with standard acarbose drug. The antimicrobial activity was also carried out for various extracts (Chloroform, Ethyl acetate, and Ethanol) of the same (C. intybus) screened against four selected human pathogens. Compared to other solvent extracts, ethanol and chloroform extracts show better inhibition and their minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) value has been calculated. CONCLUSION In silico studies and in vitro studies reveals that C. intybus plant compounds have more potent for treating diabetes.

Abstract
This article reports the utilization of Malus domestica for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with cytotoxic activity against the Michigan Cancer Foundation-7 (MCF-7) cell line as well as their antibacterial and radical scavenging potential. The biosynthesized AgNPs were confirmed using various analytical characterization techniques. The cytotoxic effect of Malus domestica-AgNPs (M.d-AgNPs) was studied by MTT assay and scavenging efficacy was assessed by DPPH, nitric oxide radical and phosphomolybdate assays. Furthermore, green synthesized nanoparticles were evaluated for their antibacterial activity against multidrug resistant-clinical isolates. M.d-AgNPs were observed to be almost spherical in shape with an average diameter from 50 to 107.3 nm as assessed by TEM and DLS. M.d-AgNPs revealed the dose-dependent antioxidant activity and antimicrobial activity against multidrug-resistant bacterial strain viz. Enterobacter aerogenes, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli. Also, in vitro studies revealed dose-dependent cytotoxic effects of M.d-AgNPs treated MCF-7 cell line. The data strongly suggest that M.d-AgNPs had a potential antioxidant, antimicrobial and cytotoxicity activity.
