Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:5500. [PMID: 38791538 PMCID: PMC11121973 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25105500] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2024] [Revised: 05/07/2024] [Accepted: 05/14/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Various studies have shown that Hypogymnia physodes are a source of many biologically active compounds, including lichen acids. These lichen-specific compounds are characterized by antioxidant, antiproliferative, and antimicrobial properties, and they can be used in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. The main aim of this study was to optimize the composition of natural deep eutectic solvents based on proline or betaine and lactic acid for the extraction of metabolites from H. physodes. The design of the experimental method and the response surface approach allowed the optimization of the extraction process of specific lichen metabolites. Based on preliminary research, a multivariate model of the experiment was developed. For optimization, the following parameters were employed in the experiment to confirm the model: a proline/lactic acid/water molar ratio of 1:2:2. Such a mixture allowed the efficient extraction of three depsidones (i.e., physodic acid, physodalic acid, 3-hydroyphysodic acid) and one depside (i.e., atranorin). The developed composition of the solvent mixtures ensured good efficiency when extracting the metabolites from the thallus of H. physodes with high antioxidant properties.

Switchable adhesive films of pullulan loaded with a deep eutectic solvent-curcumin formulation for the photodynamic treatment of drug-resistant skin infections. Mater Today Bio 2023; 22:100733. [PMID: 37533730 PMCID: PMC10392606 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2023.100733] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2023] [Revised: 06/30/2023] [Accepted: 07/12/2023] [Indexed: 08/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is a potent tool to surpass the global rise of antimicrobial resistance; still, the effective topical administration of photosensitizers remains a challenge. Biopolymer-based adhesive films can safely extend the residence time of photosensitizers. However, their wide application is narrowed by their limited water absorption capacity and gel strength. In this study, pullulan-based films with a switchable character (from a solid film to an adhesive hydrogel) were developed. This was accomplished by the incorporation of a betaine-based deep eutectic solvent (DES) containing curcumin (4.4 μg.cm-2) into the pullulan films, which tuned the films' skin moisture absorption ability, and therefore they switch into an adhesive hydrogel capable of delivering the photosensitizer. The obtained transparent films presented higher extensibility (elongation at break up to 338.2%) than the pullulan counterparts (6.08%), when stored at 54% of relative humidity, and the corresponding hydrogels a 4-fold higher adhesiveness than commercial hydrogels. These non-cytotoxic adhesives allowed the inactivation (∼5 log reduction), down to the detection limit of the method, of multiresistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus in ex vivo skin samples. Overall, these materials are promising for aPDT in the treatment of resistant skin infections, while being easily removed from the skin.

Synergic effect of natural deep eutectic solvent and high-intensity ultrasound on obtaining a ready-to-use genipin extract: Crosslinking and anti-neurodegenerative properties. Food Chem X 2022; 16:100489. [PMID: 36519089 PMCID: PMC9743151 DOI: 10.1016/j.fochx.2022.100489] [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: 05/17/2022] [Revised: 09/27/2022] [Accepted: 10/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
In this paper, genipin, an important natural crosslinker and anti-neurodegenerative compound, was extracted from unripe Genipa americana L., combining high-intensity ultrasound (HIUS) and natural deep eutectic solvents (NADESs). The extraction process conditions were evaluated step-by-step to reach the best genipin recovery. The obtained ready-to-use genipin-NADES extract was examined regarding its crosslinking properties and anti-neurodegenerative capacity. For the condictions tested, the highest genipin recovery was obtained using 40 % water and 60 % betaine:lactic acid NADES in molar ratio 1:3 (n/n) as the solvent, a solvent:feed ratio of 19 (w/w), and HIUS acoustic power of 14 ± 1 W. The HIUS-assisted extraction using NADES as solvent showed to be a promising and efficient green extraction technique to obtain genipin. The ready-to-use genipin-NADES extract presented crosslinking capacity and anticholinergic activity. These results indicate that genipin-NADES extract can be directly applied in hydrogels for drug delivery, films, tissue engineering, and others. Moreover, it can be used in food, supplements, and medicine to enhance their neuroprotective effect.

Extraction of Phenolic Compound from Model Pyrolysis Oil Using Deep Eutectic Solvents: Computational Screening and Experimental Validation. SEPARATIONS 2022.

Abstract
Green Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs) are considered here as an alternative to conventional organic solvents and ionic liquids (IL) for the extraction of phenolic compounds from pyrolysis oil. Although ionic liquids have shown a promising future in extraction processes, DESs possess not only most of their remarkable physico-chemical properties, but are also cheaper, easier to prepare and non-toxic, increasing the infatuation with these new moieties to the detriment of ionic liquids. In this work, phenol was selected as a representative of phenolic compounds, and toluene and heptane were used to model the pyrolysis oil. COSMO-RS was used to investigate the interaction between the considered Dess, phenol, n-heptane, and toluene. Two DESs (one ammonium and one phosphonium based) were subsequently used for experimental liquid–liquid extraction. A ternary liquid–liquid equilibrium (LLE) experiment was conducted with different feed concentrations of phenol ranging from 5 to 25 wt% in model oil at 25 °C and at atmospheric pressure. Although both DESs were able to extract phenol from model pyrolysis oil with high distribution ratios, the results showed that ammonium-based DES was more efficient than the phosphonium-based one. The composition of phenol in the raffinate and extract phases was determined using gas chromatography. A similar trend was observed by the COSMO-RS screening for the two DESs.

Abstract
Screening of suitable deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as extractants is vitally important in an extraction process. In this study, a multiscale method combining conductor-like screening model for real solvents (COSMO-RS) calculation, experimental validation, and process simulation is presented. This method was applied to screen DESs for extracting m-cresol from cumene. First, the COSMO-RS model was performed to calculate the phase equilibrium of different ternary systems at different feed compositions, thereby prescreening DESs by investigating the effects of DES structures on the extraction performance. Then, the prescreened DESs were studied by extraction experiments to further validate their extraction performance. The extraction mechanism was investigated through FT-IR characterization. Afterward, continuous process simulation by Aspen Plus was employed to identify more promising DESs. The COSMO-RS calculation and experimental results showed that both choline chloride (ChCl)/ethylene glycol (EG) (1:2) and ChCl/glycerol (Gly) (1:2) demonstrated a high extraction performance, which were selected as two suitable DESs. Considering the mass purity and recovery ratio of m-cresol and cumene products in industrial applications, as well as the extractant dosage and equipment costs, ChCl/Gly (1:2) is considered a more promising DES in industrial application.

Abstract
Ionic liquid (IL) as an extractant is an effective method for separating oil-phenol mixtures. However, relatively high neutral oil entrainment can lead to oil loss and a remarkable reduction in phenol purity. To reduce the entrainment of neutral oil in the extraction process, a double-solvent extraction system composed of IL 1-ethyl-3-methyl imidazolium acetate ([C2mim][Ac]) and an organic solvent was investigated. The multi-index evaluation method was used to screen the conventional organic solvent. The double-solvent extraction experiments were employed to verify the accuracy of the COSMO-RS prediction. Eighteen organic solvents, the interaction energy with m-cresol and cumene (neutral oil), their extraction ability, and mutual solubility with [C2mim][Ac], were calculated by COSMO-RS. Alkane and cycloalkane were screened due to their strong interaction and low distribution coefficient with cumene, as well as the low mutual solubility with [C2mim][Ac]. The experimental results were in good agreement with the COSMO-RS prediction, and cyclopentane as an organic solvent had the lowest distribution coefficient and entrainment of cumene because of its strong nonpolarity and hydrogen-bond repulsive interaction, which was explained by the σ-profile and σ-potential analysis. When the cyclopentane-to-[C2mim][Ac] mass ratio increased from 0.0 to 3.0, the entrainment of cumene was evidently declined from 39.5 to 5.8% and the selectivity to m-cresol was improved from 378.0 to 1058.5.

Abstract
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are one of the most rapidly evolving types of solvents, appearing in a broad range of applications, such as nanotechnology, electrochemistry, biomass transformation, pharmaceuticals, membrane technology, biocomposite development, modern 3D-printing, and many others. The range of their applicability continues to expand, which demands the development of new DESs with improved properties. To do so requires an understanding of the fundamental relationship between the structure and properties of DESs. Computer simulation and machine learning techniques provide a fruitful approach as they can predict and reveal physical mechanisms and readily be linked to experiments. This review is devoted to the computational research of DESs and describes technical features of DES simulations and the corresponding perspectives on various DES applications. The aim is to demonstrate the current frontiers of computational research of DESs and discuss future perspectives.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) are widely used in the extraction of phenolic compounds from low-temperature coal tar (LTCT). However, both ILs and LTCT contain a certain amount of water. The existence of water may have a remarkable impact on the phenol separation performance of ILs with different structures. In this work, the capacity and selectivity for m-cresol, as well as the solubility of cumene and dodecane in different IL-H2O mixtures, were firstly calculated by the conductor-like screening model for real solvents (COSMO-RS) at infinite dilution. The calculation covers ILs with different anionic and anionic structures and different water contents. To explore the effect of water in IL on separation performance, 1-ethyl-3-methyl imidazolium acetate ([C2mim][Ac]) was selected as the representative IL, and then the molecular interactions between the [C2mim][Ac]-H2O mixture solvent and solute (including m-cresol, cumene, and dodecane) were analyzed by COSMO-RS. The results indicated that both water and m-cresol could form hydrogen bonds with [C2mim][Ac]. The competition between them leads to decreasing separation performance for m-cresol of the [C2mim][Ac]-H2O mixture with increasing water content. Moreover, through analyses of m-cresol extraction efficiency, distribution coefficient, selectivity, and entrainment of cumene and dodecane, the experimental results confirmed that the presence of water in [C2mim][Ac] had a negative effect on the separation of m-cresol. The viscosity and UV-vis spectra of the [C2mim][Ac]-H2O mixture were also measured. Water in ILs should be removed as much as possible to ensure a better dephenolization effect and avoid phenol containing wastewater.
