Molecular Docking Studies and In Vitro Activity of Paliurus spina-christi Mill Extracts as Pancreatic Lipase Inhibitors. Antioxidants (Basel) 2024; 13:160. [PMID: 38397758 PMCID: PMC10885981 DOI: 10.3390/antiox13020160] [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: 12/15/2023] [Revised: 01/18/2024] [Accepted: 01/24/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Obesity is a risk factor for the onset of chronic diseases. One of the most promising approaches to treating obesity consists of reducing dietary fat absorption using extracts from plants because they contain phenolic compounds, especially flavonoids. Paliurus spina-christi, belonging to the Rhamnaceae family, is one of the five species belonging to the Paliurus genus. Herein, the aerial parts of the plant were extracted with methanol through the pressurized cyclic solid-liquid extraction using the Naviglio extractor®. The extracts were analyzed with High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography and investigated for their in vitro biological potential. The phytochemical analysis revealed that rutin has been shown to be the most abundant flavonoid component. The best antiradical activity was observed for the fruit extract with an IC50 value of 53.41 ± 1.24 µg/mL. This extract also has a better inhibitory capacity on lipid peroxidation evaluated at a different time of incubation. Potent lipase inhibitor activity of the extract from fruits was also demonstrated with in vitro experiments. This property can be attributed to a direct interaction of main components of P. spina-christi extract with the human pancreatic enzyme as demonstrated by the results of molecular docking experiments conducted on the crystallographic structures of lipase.

Abstract
This study was conducted to examine the effect of cooking at different temperatures on the formation of Nε-(carboxymethyl) lysine (CML) after adding Paliurus spina-christi Mill. (PSC), Celtis tournefortii L. (CT) fruits, and Nigella Sativa L. (NS) seeds to the meatballs. Phytochemical and bioactivity properties were determined before adding PSC, CT fruits, and NS seeds to the meatballs. Then, PSC, CT fruits, and NS seeds were added to the meatballs at a rate of 2% and stored at 4 ± 1 °C for 16 days. CML, TBARS, pH, and aw analyses were performed on the meatballs. The highest phytochemical and bioactivity levels were detected in PSC fruit. The aw values detected in the meatball groups were found to be between 0.931 and 0.951 on the 0th day and between 0.963 and 0.985 on the 16th day, and the pH values ranged from 5.66 to 6.06 on the 0th day and from 6.10 to 6.74 on the 16th day. TBARS values of the meatballs were found to be between 1.17 and 1.98 on day 0 and 1.70-3.34 mg MDA/kg on day 16. CML levels in the meatballs were determined to be between 11.15 and 13.45 on day 0 and between 13.43 and 18.17 μg/g on day 16. The highest a* value was found in the meatballs with added CT fruit. It was determined that NS seeds had a negative effect on the a* value of the meatballs. In conclusion, adding PSC, CT fruits, and NS seeds can imbue meatballs with functional properties, thereby creating a more health-beneficial product for humans.

Abstract
Lignin, a by-product of processing lignocellulosic materials, has a polyphenolic structure and can be used as an antioxidant directly or synergistically with synthetic types of antioxidants, leading to different applications. Its antioxidant mechanism is mainly related to the production of ROS, but the details need to be further investigated. The antioxidant property of lignin is mainly related to the content of phenolic hydroxyl group, but methoxy, purity will also have an effect on it. In addition, different methods to detect the antioxidant properties of lignin have different advantages and disadvantages. In this paper, the antioxidant mechanism of lignin, the methods to determine the antioxidant activity and the progress of its application in various fields are reviewed. In addition, the current research on the antioxidant properties of lignin and the hot directions are provided, and an outlook on the research into the antioxidant properties of lignin is provided to broaden its potential application areas.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Paliurus spina-christi Mill. (PSC) fruit is frequently used in the treatment of diabetes mellitus in Mediterranean regions. Here, we investigated the effects of various PSC fruit extracts (PSC-FEs) on glucose consumption and some key mediators of insulin signaling pathways in high glucose and high insulin-induced insulin-resistant HepG2 cells. METHODS The effects of methanolic, chloroform and total extracts on cell proliferation were assessed by the MTT assay. The potential of non-toxic extracts on glucose utilization in insulin-resistant HepG2 cells was checked using a glucose oxidase assay. AKT and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway activation and mRNA expression levels of insulin receptor (INSR), glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1), and glucose transporters 4 (GLUT4) were determined by western blotting and real-time PCR, respectively. RESULTS We found that high concentrations of methanolic and both low and high concentrations of total extracts were able to enhance glucose uptake in an insulin-resistant cell line model. Moreover, AKT and AMPK phosphorylation were significantly increased by the high strength of methanolic extract, while total extract raised AMPK activation at low and high concentrations. Also, GLUT 1, GLUT 4, and INSR were elevated by both methanolic and total extracts. CONCLUSIONS Ultimately, our results shed new light on methanolic and total PSC-FEs as sources of potential anti-diabetic medications, restoring glucose consumption and uptake in insulin-resistant HepG2 cells. These could be at least in part due to re-activating AKT and AMPK signaling pathways and also increased expression of INSR, GLUT1, and GLUT4. Overall, active constituents present in methanolic and total extracts of PCS are appropriate anti-diabetic agents and explain the use of these PSC fruits in traditional medicine for the treatment of diabetes.

Abstract
Cognitive impairment is a major complication of diabetes mellitus, which is caused by constitutive hyperglycaemia. Ponicidin is a diterpenoid isolated from a Chinese traditional herb (Rabdosia rubescens) and demonstrates the various pharmacological effects. The goal of this study was to scrutinise the neuroprotective effect of ponicidin against diabetic nephropathy (DN) induced by streptozotocin (STZ). Intraperitoneal administration of STZ (55 mg/kg) was used for the induction of diabetes and rats were received oral administration of ponicidin (5, 10 and 15 mg/kg) until 28 days. The body weight, food intake, water intake and blood glucose level were assessed at regular time interval. Plasma insulin level, antioxidant, inflammatory cytokines, apoptosis marker and faecal gut microbiota compositions were estimated. DN-induced group rats revealed the augmented glucose level, water intake, food intake and reduced body weight. Ponicidin significantly (P < 0.001) repressed the glucose level and water food intake and improved the body weight and plasma insulin. Ponicidin significantly (P < 0.001) repressed the malonaldehyde (MDA) level and boosted the level of glutathione (GSH), glutathione reductase (GR) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the brain and serum level. Ponicidin significantly (P < 0.001) repressed the level of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) and enhanced the level of interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-10 (IL-10) in the brain and serum level. DN group rats exhibited the enhanced relative abundance of Firmicutes, along with enhancing the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio and repressing the Bacteroidetes relative abundance. Ponicidin effectually restored the relative abundance of Allobaculum, Lactobacillus and Ruminococcus genera. Our findings clearly demonstrated that ponicidin has a neuroprotective effect against diabetic cognitive impairment through modulating the gut microbiome.

Abstract
Paliurus spina-christi Mill., a member of the Rhamnaceae family, is a traditionally used medicinal plant in the management of a panoply of human ailments. The current research focused on its phytochemical profile and biological properties evaluated by its antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory properties. The methanol extract was found to be the most effective antioxidant as evidenced by its DPPH and ABTS scavenging activities, cupric and ferric reducing power (CUPRAC and FRAP), and high activity in phosphomolybdenum (PBD) assay, and also displayed the highest anti-tyrosinase activity. The n-hexane extract was the most effective AChE inhibitor (8.89 ± 0.08 mg GALAE/g) followed by the methanol (8.64 ± 0.01 mg GALAE/g) while the latter showed the highest BChE inhibition (2.50 ± 0.05 mg GALAE/g). Among the different solvent extracts of the stem, the methanolic extract showed highest antioxidant activity in the following assays: DPPH (909.88 ± 4.25 mg TE/g), ABTS (3358.33 ± 51.14 mg TE/g), CUPRAC (781.88 ± 16.37 mg TE/g), FRAP (996.70 ± 47.28 mg TE/g), and PBD (4.96 ± 0.26 mmol TE/g), while the dichloromethane extract showed the highest MCA (28.80 ± 0.32 mg EDTAE/g). The methanol extracts revealed the highest TPC and TFC among the different solvents used, and as for plant part, the stem extracts had the highest TPC ranging from 22.36 ± 0.26 to 121.78 ± 1.41 (mg GAE/g), while the leaf extracts showed the highest TFC ranging from 8.43 ± 0.03 to 75.36 ± 0.92 (mg RE/g). Our findings tend to provide additional scientific evidence on the biological and chemical activities of P. spina-christi, which may serve as a source of naturally occurring bioactive chemicals with potential biomedical applications.

Takım K. Bioactive component analysis and investigation of antidiabetic effect of Jerusalem thorn (Paliurus spina-christi) fruits in diabetic rats induced by streptozotocin. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2021; 264:113263. [PMID: 32818572 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2020.113263] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2020] [Revised: 08/04/2020] [Accepted: 08/06/2020] [Indexed: 05/25/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE The extracts of Jerusalem thorn fruits (JT-FE) have been commonly used for the treatment of diabetes mellitus in Turkey. AIM OF THE STUDY In this study, it is aimed to investigate the effects of the JT-FE, prepared by decoction, on blood glucose, insulin and glycated haemoglobin levels of diabetic rats induced with streptozotocin (STZ). Hypoglycemic activity of the extracts was examined in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS For this purpose, pre-prandial blood sugar, insulin and glycated hemoglobin levels were measured. To investigate active substances that were responsible for the antidiabetic activity, phytochemical analysis was carried out with optimized and validated LC-MS/MS method using 53 phytochemicals in JT-FE. In addition, ICP-OES analysis was performed to determine the mineral content. RESULTS The findings of the study demonstrate that when insulin and JT-FE applied groups were compared with the diabetic control group, their blood sugar and glycated hemoglobin levels were seen to statistically decrease (p < 0,001). Morewer, When JT-FE treated groups were compared with insulin-treated groups, a statistically decrease (p < 0,05) in their levels was observed. On the other hand, it was also found that the increase in extract concentration didn't contribute significantly to antidiabetic activity. As a result of the phytochemical analysis, total of 31 different phenolic compounds were defined in JT-FE. The major components of JT-FE (as analyte/g extract) were; rutin (98753.4 ± 24.39 μg), catechin (58695.3 ± 12.971 μg), hesperidin (47445.2 ± 15.894 μg), quinic acid (38279.5 ± 14.239 μg) and malic acid (17536.8 ± 2.279 μg). In the mineral analysis we made; Sodium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus elements were found at macro level, Zn and Cr3+ minerals were found at trace level. CONCLUSION Our findings show that JT-FE, prepared by decoction, is rich in phenolic and mineral content and strong in antihyperglycemic activity. That's why Jerusalem thorn fruits can be a useful antidiabetic phytotherapy agent.
