Abstract
Spinosin, a natural flavone-C-glycoside that is mainly isolated from the seeds of Ziziphus jujuba Mill. var. spinosa. It exerts the effects to ameliorate the neurological disorders, such as hypnosis effects, improvement of cognitive function, sedation effects, and anxiolytic effects, as well as anti-melanogenic effect, cardioprotective effects, and anti-cancer activity. However, the insufficient basic research, unclear mechanisms, and poor bioavailability may limit the prospects of spinosin in clinical utilization. In this review, we comprehensively summarized the latest information on the pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, toxicity, and NMR characteristic of spinosin, to evaluate its potential therapeutic for clinical application, hoping to provide some rational perspective for the innovative agent development and usage of spinosin in future.

Semen Ziziphi Spinosae attenuates blood-brain barrier dysfunction induced by lipopolysaccharide by targeting the FAK-DOCK180-Rac1-WAVE2-Arp3 signaling pathway. NPJ Sci Food 2022; 6:27. [PMID: 35655066 PMCID: PMC9163036 DOI: 10.1038/s41538-022-00142-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2022] [Accepted: 05/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Semen Ziziphi Spinosae (SZS) has been extensively used in the daily diet as a functional food for neuroprotective health-benefit in China for many years. However, the neuroprotective mechanism of SZS associated with blood–brain barrier (BBB) integrity remains unexplored. The present study suggests SZS could protect against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced BBB dysfunction. Proteomics indicate that 135 proteins in rat brain are significantly altered by SZS. These differentially expressed proteins are mainly clustered into cell–cell adhesion and adherens junctions, which are closely related with BBB integrity. SZS reversed LPS-induces BBB breakdown by activating the FAK-DOCK180-Rac1-WAVE2-Arp3 pathway. Molecular docking between signaling pathway proteins and identified SZS components in rat plasma reveals that 6”‘-feruloylspinosin, spinosin, and swertisin strongly binds to signaling proteins at multiple amino acid sites. These novel findings suggest a health benefit of SZS in prevention of cerebral diseases and contributes to the further application of SZS as a functional food.

Difference in the binding mechanism of distinct antimony forms in bovine serum albumin. Biometals 2021; 34:493-510.

Abstract
The toxicity of antimony (Sb) is closely related to its chemical forms. To further realize the toxicity risk of different forms of Sb, the separate and simultaneous binding mechanisms of antimony potassium tartrate/potassium pyroantimonate with bovine serum albumin (BSA) were investigated with muti-spectroscopic methods. Fluorescence quenching result and UV-vis absorption spectra showed that a 1:1 complex was formed between antimony potassium tartrate/potassium pyroantimonate and BSA through a modest binding force. The results revealed that the binding of antimony potassium tartrate/potassium pyroantimonate to BSA caused changes in the secondary structure of BSA. Both Sb forms (antimony potassium tartrate and potassium pyroantimonate) were able to interact with BSA when coexisting but there was a binding influence on their interacting with the BSA. Both Sb forms interfere with the binding of the other to protein.
