Abstract
Efficient drug delivery methods are crucial in modern pharmacotherapy to enhance treatment efficacy, minimize adverse effects, and improve patient compliance. Particularly in the context of glioblastoma treatment, there has been a recent surge in interest in using natural dietary components as innovative carriers for drug delivery. These food-derived carriers, known for their safety, biocompatibility, and multifunctional properties, offer significant potential in overcoming the limitations of conventional drug delivery systems. This article thoroughly overviews numerous natural dietary components, such as polysaccharides, proteins, and lipids, used as drug carriers. Their mechanisms of action, applications in different drug delivery systems, and specific benefits in targeting glioblastoma are examined. Additionally, the safety, biocompatibility, and regulatory considerations of employing food components in drug formulations are discussed, highlighting their viability and future prospects in the pharmaceutical field.

JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2024; 104:4977-4988. [PMID: 38567804 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.13506] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2023] [Revised: 08/25/2023] [Accepted: 04/03/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND As the major protein (approximately 36%) in rice bran, globulin exhibits excellent foaming and emulsifying properties, endowing its useful application as a foaming and emulsifying agent in the food industry. However, the low water solubility restricts its commercial potential in industrial applications. The present study aimed to improve this protein's processing and functional properties. RESULTS A novel covalent complex was fabricated by a combination of the Maillard reaction and alkaline oxidation using rice bran globulin (RBG), chitooligosaccharide (C), quercetin (Que) and resveratrol (Res). The Maillard reaction improved the solubility, emulsifying and foaming properties of RBG. The resultant glycosylated protein was covalently bonded with quercetin and resveratrol to form a (RBG-C)-Que-Res complex. (RBG-C)-Que-Res exhibited higher thermal stability and antioxidant ability than the native protein, binary globulin-chitooligosaccharide or ternary globulin-chitooligosaccharide-polyphenol (only containing quercetin or resveratrol) conjugates. (RBG-C)-Que-Res exerted better cytoprotection against the generation of malondialdehyde and reactive oxygen species in HepG2 cells, which was associated with increased activities of antioxidative enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) through upregulated genes SOD1, CAT, GPX1 (i.e. gene for glutathione peroxidase-1), GCLM (i.e. gene for glutamate cysteine ligase modifier subunit), SLC1A11 (i.e. gene for solute carrier family 7, member 11) and SRXN1 (i.e. gene for sulfiredoxin-1). The anti-apoptotic effect of (RBG-C)-Que-Res was confirmed by the downregulation of caspase-3 and p53 and the upregulation of B-cell lymphoma-2 gene expression. CONCLUSION The present study highlights the potential of (RBG-C)-Que-Res conjugates as functional ingredients in healthy foods. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Natural protein-based delivery systems have received special interest over the last few years. Different carriers are already developed in the food industry to protect, encapsulate and deliver bioactive compounds. Rice bran protein (RBP) is currently used as a carrier in encapsulating bioactives due to its excellent functional properties, great natural value, low price, good biodegradability, and biocompatibility. Recently, RBP-based carriers including emulsions, microparticles, nanoparticles, nanoemulsions, liposomes, and core-shell structures have been studied extensively in the literature. This study reviews the important characteristics of RBP in developing bioactive delivery systems. The recent progress in various modification approaches for improving RBP properties as carriers along with different types of RBP-based bioactive delivery systems is discussed. In the final part, the bioavailability and release profiles of bioactives from RBP-based carriers and the recent developments are described.

SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2019; 217:215-222. [PMID: 30939368 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2019.03.091] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2018] [Revised: 02/24/2019] [Accepted: 03/25/2019] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
The interaction between plant protein and polyphenol is a topic of considerable interest. However, there is relatively little understanding about the interaction between rice protein and epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG). The spectroscopy and computational docking program were used to investigate the potential interaction between rice glutelin (RG) and EGCG. It was found that the intrinsic fluorescence of RG could be quenched by EGCG, which indicated interaction occurred between them. Thermodynamic analysis elucidated that the interaction process between RG and EGCG happened spontaneously with hydrogen bond as the primary driving force. The ANS-fluorescence indicated that the surface hydrophobicity of RG reduced with the increasing of EGCG. Circular dichroism spectra and synchronous fluorescence gave further information for the conformational and microenvironmental changes of RG. Particularly, the α-helix structure reduced and random coil structure increased after the binding interaction. Furthermore, the computational docking program exhibited target sites in which the amino acid residues of RG and EGCG might be bound together.
