Abstract
In this paper, the interface polymerization method was used to prepare Osmanthus essential oil microcapsules. The optimal preparation process of Osmanthus essential oil microcapsules was explored as follows: the dosage ratio of Osmanthus essential oil to N100 was 6:1, the reaction temperature was 70°C, and the reaction time was 2 h. The encapsulation efficiency of Osmanthus essential oil microcapsules could reach 80.31%. The particle size distribution, morphology, chemical structure, and thermal stability of the obtained microcapsules were characterized by laser particle size analyzer, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. The release kinetics and storage stability experiments of the microcapsules were studied. The results showed that the average volume diameter of the microcapsules was 101.2 µm. The microcapsules were in the shape of full spheres, with a smooth surface, low viscosity, and high elasticity. Microencapsulation improved the thermal stability of Osmanthus essential oil and promoted the slow release of essential oil. The synthesized microcapsules showed good storage stability under refrigerated and dark conditions, which indicated that microcapsules had broad application prospects in food, medicine, and other fields. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: In this study, we prepared a polyurea membrane to encapsulate Osmanthus essential oil microcapsules by interfacial polymerization. The encapsulation conditions of the microcapsules were optimized and the structure of the microcapsules was characterized in this study. The results showed that microcapsules had a full spherical shape with a smooth surface, high elasticity, good sustained-release ability, good thermal stability, and storage stability. These properties indicated that microcapsules have good application prospects and can be used as a high-quality flavor with a long residual effect and high thermal stability for food and cosmetic scope.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fomitopsis officinalis (Vill. ex Fr. Bond. et Sing) is a medicinal mushroom, commonly called 'Agarikon', traditionally used to treat cough and asthma in the Mongolian population. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to examine the significance of biological activity of F. officinalis, and evaluate the antioxidant and anticancer activity of six fractions of F. officinalis residues (Fo1-powder form dissolved in ethanol, Fo2-petroleum ether residue, Fo3-chloroformic, Fo4-ethylacetate, Fo5-buthanolic, and Fo6-water-ethanolic) against hepatocellular carcinoma cells. METHODS We performed in vitro studies of cell proliferation and viability assay, annexin V-FITC/Propidium Iodide assay, and NF-kB signaling pathway by immunoblot analysis. RESULTS Our findings revealed that all six fractions/extracts have antioxidant activity, and somehow, they exert anticancerous effects against cancer cells. In cancerous cell lines (HepG2 and LO2), Fo3 chloroformic extract promoted the cancer cell apoptosis, cell viability, activated G2/M-phase cell cycle, and selectively induced NF-kB proteins, revealing itself as a novel antitumor extract. CONCLUSION This study reports that Fo3-chloroformic extract is rich in antitumor activity; it was previously not investigated in cancer. To study the impact of F. officinalis among natural products to treat/prevent oxidative stress disorders or cancers, further examinations are needed. However, this study assessed only one extract, Fo3-chloroformic, which has a significant impact on cancer cell lines.

Abstract
In recent years, cell cycle and checkpoint pathways regulation are offering new therapeutic approaches against cancer. Isatin, is a well exploited scaffold in the anticancer domain. Accordingly, the current work describes the design and synthesis of two series of (Z)-3-substituted-2-(((E/Z)-5-substituted-2-oxo-1-substituted-indolin-3-ylidene)hydrazinylidene)-thiazolidin-4-ones, 4(a-s) and (E/Z)-1-substituted-3-(((Z)-3-substituted-4-methylthiazol-2(3H)-ylidene)hydrazineylidene)-5-substituted-indolin-2-ones, 5(a-s). The structures of the synthesized molecules were confirmed by spectral and elemental methods of analyses. Pure diastereomers were further identified with 1H-1H-NOESY and confirmed with X-ray crystallography. The target compounds were tested in vitro for their cytotoxicity against three human epithelial cell lines, liver (HepG2), breast (MCF-7), and colon (HT-29) in addition to the diploid human normal cells (WI-38) compared to doxorubicin as a reference drug. Variable cytotoxic effects (IC50 3.29-100 µmol) were reported on the three cancer cell lines with pronounced selectivity compared to the normal one WI-38. The potency of the most active compounds, 4o, 4s, 5e, 5f, 5l, 5m and 5o (IC50 3.29-9.92 µmol), in both series associated with the (Z) configurations of N = thiazolidin/ene or one, however, the configuration of the N = isatin moiety seemed to be of no importance to the activity. The tested compounds were grouped for their possible mechanism of action into 4 categories. Compound 4o with no apparent effect on all genes examined. Compounds 4s and 5o affected all genes investigated and seem to have multiple cellular targets; induced the expression of p53 and caspases, and downregulated that of CDK1. Compounds 5l and 5m directly elevated the expression of initiator and effector caspases without going through p53 pathway. Finally, compounds 5e and 5f elevated the expression of p53 and inhibited CDK1. Compounds 4s, 5e, 5f, 5l, 5m, and 5o caused a significant elevation in the activity of cleaved caspase 3 as well. Docking studies on CDK1 revealed that the active molecules bind to the tested enzyme by the same manner of the co-crystallized ligands and the isatin-thiazoldinone/ene scaffold is essential for binding of these molecules.

Abstract
Bioactive natural products have always played a significant role as novel therapeutical agents irrespective of their source of origin. They have a profound effect on human health by both direct and indirect means and also possess immense medicinal properties. Fruit species are largely appreciated and highly consumed throughout the world. Epidemiologic information supports the association between high intake of fruits and low risk of chronic diseases. There are several biological reasons why the consumption of fruits might reduce or prevent chronic diseases. Fruits are rich sources of nutrients and energy, have vitamins, minerals, fiber and numerous other classes of biologically active compounds. Moreover, parts of the fruit crops like fruit peels, leaves and barks also possess medicinal properties and have been included in this review. The most important activities discussed in this review include antidiabetic, anticancer, antihypertensive, neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, antiviral, stimulation of the immune system, cell detoxification, cholesterol synthesis, anticonvulsant and their ability to lower blood pressure. Several phytochemicals involved in this context are described with special emphasis on their structural properties and their relativity with human diseases.

Abstract
JS-K, (O2-(2, 4-dinitrophenyl) 1-[(4-ethoxycarbonyl) piperazin-1-yl] diazen 1-ium-1, 2-diolate), is a novel diazeniumdiolate-based nitric oxide donor prodrug. The present study investigated the relationship between reactive oxygen species (ROS) elevation, Ca2+ overload and mitochondrial disruption in JS-K-induced apoptosis. JS-K could significantly inhibit cell growth and induce apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. Meanwhile, JS-K caused the accumulation of ROS, overload of Ca2+, decrease of mitochondrial membrane potential, release of cytochrome c (Cyt c) from mitochondria to the cytoplasm, increase of Bax-to-Bcl-2 ratio and activation of caspase- 9/3. NAC (an antioxidant) or BAPTA (an intracellular Ca2+ chelator) could partially reverse the above events, while BAPTA had little effect on the levels of ROS. Furthermore, pre-treatment with Carboxy-PTIO (a NO scavenger) significantly blocked the increasing of ROS, cytosolic Ca2+ and reversed the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential in JS-K-induced apoptosis. Taken together, the results suggested that NO released from JS-K could significantly induce HepG2 cell apoptosis through a ROS/Ca2+/caspase-mediated mitochondrial pathway.

Abstract
The representative halophyte Calystegia soldanella (L) Roem. et Schult is a perennial vine herb that grows in coastal dunes throughout South Korea as well as in other regions around the world. This plant has long been used as an edible and medicinal herb to cure rheumatic arthritis, sore throat, dropsy, and scurvy. Some studies have also shown that this plant species exhibits various biological activities. However, there are few studies on cytotoxicity induced by C. soldanella treatment in HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cells. In this study, we investigated the viability of HepG2 cells following treatment with crude extracts and four solvent-partitioned fractions of C. soldanella. Of the crude extract and four solvent fractions tested, treatment with the 85% aqueous methanol (aq. MeOH) fraction resulted in the greatest inhibition of HepG2 cell proliferation. Flow cytometry showed that the 85% aq. MeOH fraction induced a G0/G1 and S phase arrest of the cell cycle progression. The 85% aq. MeOH fraction arrested HepG2 cells at the G0/G1 phase in a concentration-dependent manner, and resulted in decreased expression of cyclin D1, cyclin E, cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)2, CDK4, CDK6, p21, and p27. Additionally, the 85% aq. MeOH fraction treatment also arrested HepG2 cells in the S phase, with decreased expression of cyclin A, CDK2, and CDC25A. Also, treatment with this fraction reduced the expression of retinoblastoma (RB) protein and the transcription factor E2F. These results suggest that the 85% aq. MeOH fraction exhibits potential anticancer activity in HepG2 cells by inducing G0/G1 and S phase arrest of the cell cycle.
