ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:19401-19417. [PMID: 38708260 PMCID: PMC11064185 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.4c00699] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2024] [Revised: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 03/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/07/2024]
Abstract
Cichorium glandulosum Boiss. et Huet (CGB) extract has an α-glucosidase inhibitory effect (IC50 = 59.34 ± 0.07 μg/mL, positive control drug acarbose IC50 = 126.1 ± 0.02 μg/mL), but the precise enzyme inhibitors implicated in this process are not known. The screening of α-glucosidase inhibitors in CGB extracts was conducted by bioaffinity ultrafiltration, and six potential inhibitors (quercetin, lactucin, 3-O-methylquercetin, hyperoside, lactucopicrin, and isochlorogenic acid B) were screened as the precise inhibitors. The binding rate calculations and evaluation of enzyme inhibitory effects showed that lactucin and lactucopicrin exhibited the greatest inhibitory activities. Next, the inhibiting effects of the active components of CGB, lactucin and lactucopicrin, on α-glucosidase and their mechanisms were investigated through α-glucosidase activity assay, enzyme kinetics, multispectral analysis, and molecular docking simulation. The findings demonstrated that lactucin (IC50 = 52.76 ± 0.21 μM) and lactucopicrin (IC50 = 17.71 ± 0.64 μM) exhibited more inhibitory effects on α-glucosidase in comparison to acarbose (positive drug, IC50 = 195.2 ± 0.30 μM). Enzyme kinetic research revealed that lactucin inhibits α-glucosidase through a noncompetitive inhibition mechanism, while lactucopicrin inhibits it through a competitive inhibition mechanism. The fluorescence results suggested that lactucin and lactucopicrin effectively reduce the fluorescence of α-glucosidase by creating lactucin-α-glucosidase and lactucopicrin-α-glucosidase complexes through static quenching. Furthermore, the circular dichroism (CD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) analyses revealed that the interaction between lactucin or lactucopicrin and α-glucosidase resulted in a modification of the α-glucosidase's conformation. The findings from molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations offer further confirmation that lactucopicrin has a robust binding affinity for certain residues located within the active cavity of α-glucosidase. Furthermore, it has a greater affinity for α-glucosidase compared to lactucin. The results validate the suppressive impact of lactucin and lactucopicrin on α-glucosidase and elucidate their underlying processes. Additionally, they serve as a foundation for the structural alteration of sesquiterpene derived from CGB, with the intention of using it for the management of diabetic mellitus.

Mar Drugs 2023; 21:502. [PMID: 37888437 PMCID: PMC10608504 DOI: 10.3390/md21100502] [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: 08/20/2023] [Revised: 09/16/2023] [Accepted: 09/18/2023] [Indexed: 10/28/2023] Open
Abstract
The prevalence of gout and the adverse effects of current synthetic anti-gout drugs call for new natural and effective xanthine oxidase (XOD) inhibitors to target this disease. Based on our previous finding that an edible seaweed Pterocladiella capillacea extract inhibits XOD, XOD-inhibitory and anti-inflammatory activities were used to evaluate the anti-gout potential of different P. capillacea extract fractions. Through affinity ultrafiltration coupled with liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), feature-based molecular networking (FBMN), and database mining of multiple natural products, the extract's bioactive components were traced and annotated. Through molecular docking and ADMET analysis, the possibility and drug-likeness of the annotated XOD inhibitors were predicted. The results showed that fractions F4, F6, F4-2, and F4-3 exhibited strong XOD inhibition activity, among which F4-3 reached an inhibition ratio of 77.96% ± 4.91% to XOD at a concentration of 0.14 mg/mL. In addition, the P. capillacea extract and fractions also displayed anti-inflammatory activity. Affinity ultrafiltration LC-MS/MS analysis and molecular networking showed that out of the 20 annotated compounds, 8 compounds have been previously directly or indirectly reported from seaweeds, and 4 compounds have been reported to exhibit anti-gout activity. Molecular docking and ADMET showed that six seaweed-derived compounds can dock with the XOD activity pocket and follow the Lipinski drug-like rule. These results support the value of further investigating P. capillacea as part of the development of anti-gout drugs or related functional foods.

Front Aging Neurosci 2022; 14:909738. [PMID: 35912084 PMCID: PMC9329914 DOI: 10.3389/fnagi.2022.909738] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2022] [Accepted: 06/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives The relationship between preoperative serum uric acid (SUA) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) Alzheimer-related biomarkers were investigated to determine whether high SUA is a potential risk factor for postoperative delirium (POD) and to evaluate its predictive efficacy. Methods The participants were selected from the Perioperative Neurocognitive Disorder Risk Factor and Prognosis (PNDRFAP) study and the Perioperative Neurocognitive Disorder and Biomarker Lifestyle (PNDABLE) study. The logistic regression equation was used to analyze the risk factors and protective factors of POD. The interaction term (SUA × Sex) was introduced into the linear model to explore the potential modification effects of sex on the identified correlations. We analyzed the mediating effects of Alzheimer-related biomarkers. Finally, we constructed the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the nomogram model to evaluate the efficacy of SUA and Alzheimer-related biomarkers in predicting POD. Results Patients with POD had elevated SUA level (PNDRFAP: p = 0.002, PNDABLE: p < 0.001). Preoperative SUA level was positively correlated with CSF phosphorylated tau (P-tau) (p = 0.027) and β-amyloid42 (Aβ42)/P-tau (p = 0.023). Interaction analysis did not find any modification effect of sex. The relationship between SUA and POD was partially mediated by CSF P-tau (15.3%). ROC curve showed that the model combining SUA and Alzheimer-related biomarkers had better performance in predicting POD [area under the curve (AUC) = 0.880; p < 0.001], and the predictive model is accurate. Conclusions High SUA may enhance CSF P-tau level, thus increasing the risk of POD, and the model combining SUA and Alzheimer-related biomarkers can accurately predict the occurrence of POD.

Abstract
Azadirachta indica (A. indica) has been widely used due to its diverse pharmacological activities. However, there are currently few studies on its responsible antioxidant ingredients against superoxide dismutase (SOD) and xanthine oxidase (XOD). In this study, the antioxidant activities of A. indica were evaluated by a 2,2′-azinobis-(3-ethyl-benzthiazoline)-6-sulfonic acid) and ferric-ion-reducing antioxidant power method. Meanwhile, total polyphenol and flavonoid content were determined to reveal that they were the highest in ethyl acetate (EA) fraction. Next, compounds with the most antioxidant activity were screened out from EA fraction by bio-affinity ultrafiltration liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (UF-LC-MS) with SOD and XOD. As a result, gallic acid, protocatechuic acid and (−)-epicatechin were identified as potential SOD ligands with relative binding affinity (RBA) values of 2.15, 1.78 and 1.61, respectively. Additionally, these three ligands could effectively interact with SOD in molecular docking with binding energies (BEs) ranging from −3.84 ± 0.37 to −5.04 ± 0.01 kcal/mol. In addition, carnosic acid exhibited a strong binding affinity to XOD with an RBA value of 2.05 and BE value of −8.24 ± 0.71 kcal/mol. In conclusion, these results indicated that A. indica might have good antioxidant activity and antigout potential, and the UF-LC-MS method is suitable and efficient for screening both SOD and XOD ligands from A. indica.

Abstract
Brown rice bound phenolics extracts (BRBPE) have been reported to possess α-glucosidase inhibitory effects, the specific enzyme inhibitors involved in this process were unknown. Here, α-glucosidase inhibitors in BRBPE were screened using bioaffinity ultrafiltration methods, and seven phenolic compounds - three monomers (p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid and methyl ferulate), three dimers (8-5', 5-5' and 8-O-4' diferulic acid) and a trimer (5-5'/8-O-4″ dehydrotriferulic acid) were identified as exact inhibitors, among which 5-5'/8-O-4″ dehydrotriferulic acid and 5-5'diferulic acid exhibited the best inhibitory activity. Enzyme kinetic analysis suggested that the inhibitory mechanism of these seven inhibitors including competitive, noncompetitive, uncompetitive and mixed manner. Molecular docking analysis revealed that the seven inhibitors bind with α-glucosidase mainly by hydrogen bonding interaction, hydrophobic force and ionic bond. Molecular dynamics simulation further explored the structure and molecular property of phenolic-glucosidase complex. This work provided a deep insight into brown rice bound phenolics acting as potent α-glucosidase inhibitors.

Abstract
In the present study, the anti-inflammation effect of Phellinus igniarius extract was detected on an in vitro model of RAW 264.7 cells stimulated using sodium urate. In this cell model, the content changes of inflammatory cytokines, intercellular adhesion molecule-1, and interleukin-1 beta, in cell culture supernatants were detected using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity of P. igniarius extracts was determined using a microplate reader. Furthermore, in order to identify the active compounds of P. igniarius, ultrafiltration liquid chromatography mass spectrometry was utilized to screen xanthine oxidase inhibitors from the extract. Our results showed that in the presence of P. igniarius extract, the expressions of interleukin-1 beta and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 decreased (p < 0.01 and p < 0.05, respectively) compared to that in the control group. The extract effective inhibited the xanthine oxidase activity. Finally, seven compounds were screened and identified as potential xanthine oxidase inhibitors from P. igniarius. Taken together, these results demonstrate a potential anti-inflammation bioactivity of P. igniarius in vitro, providing a basis for further in vivo research for the prevention and treatment of gout.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Radix Saposhnikoviae is an excellent source of chromones, the consumption of which has been shown to positively affect human health, such as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities in vivo, and it also has been used to treat headache, inflammation, and cancer as a herbal medicine or functional soup. OBJECTIVE Isolation and screening of lipoxidase (LOX) inhibitors from Radix Saposhnikoviae. As a result, the metabolism of the active ingredients in cytochrome P450 (CYP450) in vitro was identified. METHODS Screen and identify the LOX inhibitors from Radix Saposhnikoviae by ultrafiltration-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UF-LC-MS). Then take the isolation and purification of the inhibitors by high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) and semi-preparative high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Furthermore, the active ingredients were used to study the metabolism in vitro in CYP450. RESULTS Subsequently, the specific binding ligands, prim-O-glucosylcimifugin, cimifugin, and 5-O-methylvisamminol (with purities of 95.28, 92.33%, and 97.89, respectively) were separated by HSCCC. Semi-preparative HPLC was applied to separate the four major compounds in Radix Saposhnikoviae and identify them as prim-O-glucosylcimifugin, 5-O-methylvisamminol, sec-O-glucosylhamaudol, and hamaudol, which were obtained with relatively high purity. Furthermore, the three chromone possible metabolism pathways were obtained. CONCLUSION The results demonstrated that UF-LC-MS combined with HSCCC and semi-preparative HPLC is not only a powerful tool for screening and isolating LOX inhibitors in complex samples, but also a useful platform for discovering bioactive compounds for anti-inflammatory activity. This study provides information regarding the active ingredients of chromones in Radix Saposhnikoviae and a framework for anti-inflammatory activity treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Medicinal plants have played an important role in maintaining human health for thousands of years. However, the interactions between the active components in medicinal plants and some certain biological targets during a disease are still unclear in most cases. OBJECTIVE To conduct the high-throughput screening for small active molecules that can interact with biological targets, which is of great theoretical significance and practical value. METHODOLOGY The ultrafiltration mass spectrometry (UF-LC/MS) is a powerful bio-analytical method by combining affinity ultrafiltration and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS), which could rapidly screen and identify small active molecules that bind to biological targets of interest at the same time. Compared with other analytical methods, affinity UF-LC/MS has the characteristics of fast, sensitive and high throughput, and is especially suitable for the complicated extracts of medicinal plants. RESULTS In this review, the basic principle, characteristics and some most recent challenges in UF-LC/MS have been demonstrated. Meanwhile, the progress and applications of affinity UF-LC/MS in the discovery of the active components from natural medicinal plants and the interactions between small molecules and biological target proteins are also briefly summarised. In addition, the future directions for UF-LC/MS are also prospected. CONCLUSION Affinity UF-LC/MS is a powerful tool in studies on the interactions between small active molecules and biological protein targets, especially in the high-throughput screening of active components from the natural medicinal plants.

Integration of in vitro and in silico perspectives to explain chemical characterization, biological potential and anticancer effects of Hypericum salsugineum: A pharmacologically active source for functional drug formulations. PLoS One 2018; 13:e0197815.

Abstract
The genus Hypericum is one of the most popular genera in both traditional medicine and scientific platform. This study is designed to provide conceptual insights on the biological potential and chemical characterization of H. salsugineum, which is endemic to Turkey. The qualitative and quantitative phenolic content of the extracts was characterized by HPLC-ESI-MSn. Biological efficiency was investigated by enzyme inhibitory assays (cholinesterases, tyrosinase, amylase, and glucosidase) and anti-cancer efficacy tests (anti-proliferative activities with the iCELLigence technology, colony formation and wound healing scratch assays). Phenolic acids (3-O-caffeoylquinic, 5-O-caffeoylquinic, and 4-O-caffeoylquinic acids) were the predominant group in the studied extracts, although several flavonoids were also detected and quantified. The extracts exhibited good inhibitory effects on tyrosinase and glucosidase, while they had weak ability against cholinesterases and amylase. Computational studies were also performed to explain the interactions between the major phenolics and these enzymes. The extracts displayed significant anti-cancer effects on breast carcinoma cell lines. Our findings suggest that Hypericum salsugineum could be valued as a potential source of biologically-active compounds for designing novel products.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the effects of Rhizoma Polygoni Cuspidati and Ramulus Cinnamomi compatibility (PR) on uric acid metabolism and the expression of urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) in rats with hyperuricemia. METHODS Seventy male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into 7 groups with 10 rats per group, including the normal group, model group, allopurinol group, benzbromarone group and PR groups at 3 doses (3.5, 7, 14 g/kg). Except the normal group, rats of the other groups were intragastrically administered 100 mg/kg hypoxanthine and 250 mg/kg ethambutol, and subcutaneously injected with 200 mg/kg potassium oxonate. All rats were continuously modeled for 17 days, and gavaged with corresponding drugs. The rats of the normal and model groups were gavaged with saline, once a day, for 2 weeks. The levels of serum uric acid (SUA), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (Cr) were determined. In addition, the contents of NGAL and KIM-1 in urine and the mRNA and protein expressions of xanthine oxidase (XOD) in liver of hyperuricemia rats were measured by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot, respectively. Moreover, the pathological changes of kidney were analyzed by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) stain method. RESULTS Compared with the normal group, the levels of SUA, BUN, NGAL and KIM-1 and the expressions of hepatic XOD mRNA and protein in the hyperuricemia rats were increased signifificantly (P<0.01). PR signifificantly decreased the levels of SUA, BUN, NGAL and KIM-1 and down-regulated the mRNA and protein expressions of hepatic XOD (P<0.05 or P<0.01). In addition, the pathological changes of kidney were signifificantly suppressed by oral administration of PR. CONCLUSIONS PR ameliorated uric acid metabolism and protected renal function, the underlying mechanism was mediated by decreasing the levels of SUA, BUN, NGAL and KIM-1, inhibiting the expression of hepatic XOD and ameliorating the pathological change of kidney.

Abstract
Myricetin, a plant-derived flavonol, was found to inhibit the formation of uric acid in a mixed-type manner with IC50 value of (8.66±0.03)×10-6molL-1 and more potently inhibit the generation of superoxide anion (O2-) catalysed by xanthine oxidase (XOD) with IC50 value of (4.55±0.02)×10-6molL-1. Inhibiting O2- generation by myricetin may be attributed to the reduced form of XOD with a substantially higher reduction potential for FADH/FADH2 couple. Moreover, molecular docking verified that myricetin bound to the site around isoalloxazine ring in the flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) domain to block the diffusion of O2- out of the FAD site, resulting in the transfer of another electron from FADH2 to O2- to form hydrogen peroxide. This study has provided new insight into the role of myricetin in inhibiting XOD catalysis, which may be beneficial to improve myricetin's potential application in functional foods.

Abstract
Pancreatic lipase plays essential roles in the digestion, transport, and processing of dietary lipids in humans. Inhibition of pancreatic lipase leading to the decrease of lipid absorption may be used for treating obesity. In the present study, a new approach of ultrafiltration coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography and quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry was established for rapidly detecting lipase binders from different extracts of medicinal plants. Rutin, a model inhibitor of lipase, was selected to optimize the screening conditions, including ion strength, temperature, pH, and incubation time. Meanwhile, the specificity of the approach was investigated by using denatured lipase and inactive compound emodin. The optimal screening conditions were as follows: ion strength 75 mM, temperature 37 °C, pH 7.4, and incubation time 10 min. Furthermore, linearity, accuracy, precision, and matrix effect of the approach were well validated. Finally, lipase binders were screened from different extracts of Dendrobium officinale by applying the established approach and were subsequently subjected to traditional lipase inhibitory assay. Eleven lipase inhibitors were identified, eight of which, namely naringenine, vicenin II, schaftoside, isoschaftoside, isoquercetrin, kaempferol 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, vitexin 2″-O-glucoside, and vitexin 2″-O-rhamnoside, were reported for the first time. In addition, docking experiments were performed to determine the preferred binding sites of these new lipase inhibitors.
