Food Chem 2024; 445:138661. [PMID: 38350195 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.138661] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2023] [Revised: 12/17/2023] [Accepted: 01/31/2024] [Indexed: 02/15/2024]
Abstract
To improve the poor water solubility and oral bioavailability of tyrosol, novel tyrosol liposomes (Tyr-LPs) were prepared by pH-driven method. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) absorption spectra and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicated that Tyr-LPs were successfully encapsulated and tyrosol was in an amorphous state in liposomes. When tyrosol content in Tyr-LP was 1.33 mg/ml and the Tyr:LP (mass ratio) = 1:2, favorable dispersibility of Tyr-LP was exhibited, with an instability index of 0.049 ± 0.004, PDI of 0.274 ± 0.003, and the EE of 94.8 ± 2.5 %. In vivo pharmacokinetic studies showed that after oral administration of tyrosol or Tyr-LP (Tyr:LP = 1:2), concentration-versus-time curve (AUC0-720mins) and maximum concentration (Cmax) values of Tyr-LP was respectively 1.5-fold (P < 0.01) and 2.25-fold (P < 0.01) higher than tyrosol, which indicated that the oral bioavailability of tyrosol was effectively improved in Tyr-LPs. Our study thereby provides theoretical support for the application of Tyr-LP for optimal delivery of tryosol.

Abstract
Liposomes are spherical lipidic nanocarriers composed of natural or synthetic phospholipids with a hydrophobic bilayer and aqueous core, which are arranged into a polar head and a long hydrophobic tail, forming an amphipathic nano/micro-particle. Despite numerous liposomal applications, their use encounters many challenges related to the physicochemical properties strongly affected by their constituents, colloidal stability, and interactions with the biological environment. This review aims to provide a perspective and a clear idea about the main factors that regulate the liposomes' colloidal and bilayer stability, emphasising the roles of cholesterol and its possible alternatives. Moreover, this review will analyse strategies that offer possible approaches to provide more stable in vitro and in vivo liposomes with enhanced drug release and encapsulation efficiencies.

Abstract
Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) have recently emerged as a promising area of research due to their potential health benefits and biomedical applications. Produced by various plant species, these EVs contain diverse bioactive molecules, including proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Increasing in vitro and in vivo studies have shown that PDEVs have inherent pharmacological activities that affect cellular processes, exerting anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer activities, which can potentially contribute to disease therapy and improve human health. Additionally, PDEVs have shown potential as efficient and biocompatible drug delivery vehicles in treating various diseases. However, while PDEVs serve as a potential rising star in modern healthy diets and biomedical applications, further research is needed to address their underlying knowledge gaps, especially the lack of standardized protocols for their isolation, identification, and large-scale production. Furthermore, the safety and efficacy of PDEVs in clinical applications must be thoroughly evaluated. In this review, we concisely discuss current knowledge in the PDEV field, including their characteristics, biomedical applications, and isolation methods, to provide an overview of the current state of PDEV research. Finally, we discuss the challenges regarding the current and prospective issues for PDEVs. This review is expected to provide new insights into healthy diets and biomedical applications of vegetables and fruits, inspiring new advances in natural food-based science and technology.

Abstract
In vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated the bioactivity of rutin, a dietary flavonol naturally found in several plant species. Despite widespread knowledge of its numerous health benefits, such as anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, hepatoprotective and cardiovascular effects, industrial use of rutin is still limited due to its low solubility in aqueous media, the characteristic bitter and astringent taste of phenolic compounds and its susceptibility to degradation during processing. To expand its applications and preserve its biological activity, novel encapsulation systems have been developed. This review presents updated research on the extraction sources and methodologies of rutin from fruit and vegetable products commonly found in a regular diet and grown using family farming approaches. Additionally, this review covers quantitative analysis techniques, encapsulation methods utilizing nanoparticles, colloidal and heterodisperse systems, as well as industrial applications of rutin.

PLANT PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY : PPB 2023; 197:107655. [PMID: 36989992 DOI: 10.1016/j.plaphy.2023.107655] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2022] [Revised: 02/16/2023] [Accepted: 03/18/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
The pseudobulb is a storage organ for water and nutrients that plays a crucial role in the growth and survival of epiphytic orchids. However, the role of water and metabolites in pseudobulb during adaptation to environmental stress are rarely detected through control experiments. In the present study, water-related physiological traits and metabolite changes in the pseudobulbs at the flowering stage and full leaf expansion stage for Pleione aurita were investigated after drought stress and recovery treatments. We found that the composition of non-structural carbohydrates (starch vs. soluble sugar) varied over the lifetime of pseudobulbs, and older pseudobulbs stored more water, whereas younger pseudobulbs stored more dry matter. When plants were subjected to drought stress and subsequent recovery, multiple metabolites in the pseudobulbs including non-structural carbohydrates, flavonoids, phenolic acids, as well as amino acids and their derivatives responded positively to these water level fluctuations. For those metabolites that differently accumulated in both stress and recovery processes, old pseudobulbs contained a higher number of these key metabolites than did the connected younger pseudobulbs. In addition, young and old pseudobulbs use different metabolic pathways to both respond and recover to drought. These results indicate that orchid pseudobulbs cope with water level fluctuations by mobilizing metabolite reserves and that pseudobulbs of different ages exhibit different physiological and metabolic responses to drought stress. These findings broadens our understanding of the role pseudobulbs play in the survival of orchids growing in epiphytic habitats.

The interaction of tryptophan enantiomers with model membranes is modulated by polar head type and physical state of phospholipids. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2023; 224:113216.

Abstract
The mutual influence of chiral bioactive molecules and supramolecular assemblies is currently being studied in many research fields, including medical-pharmaceutical applications. Model membranes of phospholipids, such as the zwitterionic dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and the anionic dipalmitoylphosphatidylglycerol (DPPG), interact with a variety of chiral compounds that include amino acids. In this work, the interaction of tryptophan enantiomers, L-Trp and D-Trp, on DPPC and DPPG bilayers was investigated by using differential scanning calorimetry, attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared and spin-label electron spin resonance spectroscopies as well as molecular docking simulations. The results show that Trp enantiomers slightly perturb the bilayer thermotropic phase transitions. For both membranes, O atoms in the carbonyl groups have a propensity to act as acceptors of a (weak) hydrogen bond. The Trp chiral forms also promote formation of hydrogen bonds and/or hydration in the PO2- moiety of the phosphate group, especially for the DPPC bilayer. In contrast, they interact more closely with the glycerol group of DPPG polar head. Only for DPPC bilayers, both enantiomers increase the packing of the first hydrocarbon chain segments for temperatures through the gel state, whereas they do not affect the lipid chain order and mobility in the fluid state. The results are consistent with a Trp association in the upper region of the bilayers without permeation in the innermost hydrophobic region. The findings suggest that neutral and anionic lipid bilayers are differently sensitive to amino acid chirality.

Abstract
Since cell membranes are complex systems, the use of model lipid bilayers is quite important for the study of their interactions with bioactive molecules. Mammalian cell membranes require cholesterol (CHOL) for their structure and function. For this reason, the mixtures of phospholipid and cholesterol are necessary to use in model membrane studies to better simulate the real systems. In the present study, we investigated the effect of the incorporation of hesperidin in model membranes consisting of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) and CHOL by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy (AFM). ATR-FTIR results demonstrated that hesperidin increases the fluidity of the DMPC/CHOL binary system. DSC findings indicated that the presence of 5 mol% hesperidin induces a broadening of the main phase transition consisting of three overlapping components. AFM experiments showed that hesperidin increases the thickness of DMPC/CHOL lipid bilayer model membranes. In addition to experimental results, molecular docking studies were conducted with hesperidin and human lanosterol synthase (LS), which is an enzyme found in the final step of cholesterol synthesis, to characterize hesperidin's interactions with its surrounding via its hydroxyl and oxygen groups. Then, hesperidin's ADME/Tox (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity) profile was computed to see the potential impact on living system. In conclusion, considering the data obtained from experimental studies, this work ensures molecular insights in the interaction between a flavonoid, as an antioxidant drug model, and lipids mimicking those found in mammalian membranes. Moreover, computational studies demonstrated that hesperidin may be a great potential for use as a therapeutic agent for hypercholesterolemia due to its antioxidant property.

Abstract
There are more than two hundred fifty different types of cancers, that are diagnosed around the world. Prostate cancer is one of the suspicious type of cancer spreading very fast around the world, it is reported that in 2018, 29430 patients died of prostate cancer in the United State of America (USA), and hence it is expected that one out of nine men diagnosed with this severe disease during their lives. Medical science has identified cancer at several stages and indicated genes mutations involved in the cancer cell progressions. Genetic implications have been studied extensively in cancer cell growth. So most efficacious drug for prostate cancer is highly required just like other severe diseases for men. So nutraceutical companies are playing major role to manage cancer disease by the recommendation of best natural products around the world, most of these natural products are isolated from plant and mushrooms because they contain several chemoprotective agents, which could reduce the chances of development of cancer and protect the cells for further progression. Some nutraceutical supplements might activate the cytotoxic chemotherapeutic effects by the mechanism of cell cycle arrest, cell differentiation procedures and changes in the redox states, but in other, it also elevate the levels of effectiveness of chemotherapeutic mechanism and in results, cancer cell becomes less reactive to chemotherapy. In this review, we have highlighted the prostate cancer and importance of nutraceuticals for the control and management of prostate cancer, and the significance of nutraceuticals to cancer patients during chemotherapy.

Abstract
This study sought to evaluate the pharmacological activity of metabolites isolated from the dried and lyophilized ethanol extracts as well as other solvent fractions of the currently endangered Puya chilensis Molina (Chagual) by analyzing their effects on a human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell line. We identified several active metabolites from Chagual extracts and two, in particular, carnosol, were found in all the prepared fractions. In addition, Chagual exhibited considerable cytotoxicity against the cancer cell line used in this study, with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 0.44 ± 0.11 and 0.27 ± 0.04 after a 72-hour treatment and, therefore, has the potential for further investigation as a source of candidate therapeutic agents.

Int J Biol Macromol 2020; 159:487-496. [PMID: 32422271 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2020.05.067] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2019] [Revised: 04/30/2020] [Accepted: 05/10/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
Okra polysaccharides (OPs) belong to RG I pectin branched with neutral saccharide side chains, which possesses distinctive structure and physicochemical properties from the commonly used HG pectin. Until now, the application of RG I pectin as wall material of microcapsule remains unclear. Here, we obtained OPs/gelatin complex coacervate at the maximum yield of 86.8% (pH 3.5, gelatin/OPs ratio 9:1 and 2% (w/v) total polymer concentration) by response surface methodology. Isoquercitin (IQ)-loaded OPs/gelatin complex coacervate (OGIQ) showed porous spongy-like surface structure with average particle size, encapsulation efficiency and surface porosity at 334 nm, 81.6% and 31.9%, respectively. OGIQ was found to be pH-responsive and intestine-targeting. The IQ-release rate of OGIQ was assayed to be 89.4% in intestine fluid and below 2% in acidic and simulated gastric digestion, respectively. Accordingly, embedding in OGIQ protected IQ in digestion and improved its postdigestive α-glucosidase inhibitory rate by 88.7%. The differential scanning calorimetry curves showed that OGIQ effectively prevented IQ from thermal decomposition. The XRD, FT-IR and CD spectra indicated that IQ was embedded in OGIQ in amorphous state by hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interaction. Compared with HG, the neutral saccharide side chains of OPs could induce different secondary conformation change of gelatin during complex coacervation.

Food Res Int 2019; 130:108967. [PMID: 32156401 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2019.108967] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2019] [Revised: 12/11/2019] [Accepted: 12/26/2019] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
The potential use of liposomes as carriers for food active ingredients can be limited by their physical and chemical instabilities in aqueous dispersions, especially for long-term storage. Lyophilization, a process commonly used in the food industry, can also be applied to stabilize and preserve liposomes and to extend their shelf-life. In this work, liposomes with potential use for designing functional foods were prepared with soy phospholipids and rutin. Homogenization and ultrasound were used for particle size reduction. Liposomal stability was evaluated by Dynamic Light Scattering, microscopy and rheological properties. Spherical and unilamellar liposomes were obtained in this work. Zeta potential (ξ = values were around -40 mV), which indicates a great suspension stability even for more than 30 days of storage. Rutin exerted a protective effect by both preventing damage to the liposome bilayer and maintaining the spherical structure after 56 days of storage. Lyophilization caused an increase in the size of the vesicles, reaching sizes around 419 nm and aggregation of vesicles with probably structural damage after 21 storage days. However, it helped to keep the rutin encapsulated (81.9%) for longer time, when compared to refrigerated liposomes. Rheological measurements showed, in general, that the power law model fitted most of the experimental results and dynamic rheological tests showed a sol-gel phase transition between 35 and 45 °C. Lyophilization caused a significant change in all evaluated rheological parameters. For the in vitro release tests, the liposomal bilayer acted as a barrier for the rutin release to the food simulating medium; therefore, the release rate of the antioxidant from the rutin encapsulated liposome was slow compared to the free rutin release rate.

Abstract
The role of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) as a ligand-activated transcription factor in the field of cancer has gradually been unveiled. A strong body of evidence indicated that AhR is implicated in cell proliferation and apoptosis, immune metabolism and other processes, which further affected tumor growth, survival, migration, and invasion. Therefore, AhR targeted therapy may become a new method for cancer treatment and provide a new direction for clinical tumor treatment. Astonishingly, the largest source of exposure of animals and humans to AhR ligands (synthetic and natural) comes from the diet. Myriad studies have described that various natural dietary chemicals can directly activate and/or inhibit the AhR signaling pathway. Of note, numerous natural products contribute to AhR active, of which dietary flavonoids are the largest class of natural AhR ligands. As interest in AhR and its ligands increases, it seems sensible to summarize current research on these ligands. In this review, we highlight the role of AhR in tumorigenesis and focus on the double effect of AhR in cancer therapy. We explored the molecular mechanism of AhR ligands on cancer through a few AhR agonists/antagonists currently in clinical practice. Ultimately, we summarize and highlight the latest progression of dietary flavonoids as AhR ligands in cancer inhibition, including the limitations and deficiencies of it in clinical research. This review will offer a comprehensive understanding of AhR and its dietary ligands which may dramatically pave the way for targeted cancer treatment.

Encapsulation of antioxidant sea fennel (Crithmum maritimum) aqueous and ethanolic extracts in freeze-dried soy phosphatidylcholine liposomes. Food Res Int 2019; 119:665-674. [PMID: 30884701 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2018.10.044] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2018] [Revised: 10/09/2018] [Accepted: 10/11/2018] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
Soy phosphatidylcholine liposomes encapsulating increasing concentrations of two sea fennel extracts (aqueous and ethanolic) prepared by ultrasonication were freeze-dried, using glycerol as lyoprotectant. Particle properties, water dispersibility, colour, thermal properties and antioxidant capacity (radical scavenging capacity, ferric ion reducing power, Folin-reactive substances) of the liposomal preparations were determined. The freeze-drying process caused an overall increase in particle size and polydispersity index, while the zeta-potential became more electronegative. Both sea fennel extracts were rich in chlorogenic acid (42.61 and 58.48 mg/g for the aqueous and ethanolic extracts, respectively) and showed great antioxidant activity. Vitamin C was identified in the aqueous extract, whereas rutin and rosmarinic acid in the ethanolic one. The entrapment efficiency, determined in the liposomes prepared at the highest extract concentration, was 65.6% and 49.1% for the aqueous extract and the ethanolic extract, respectively. The liposomal antioxidant activity and total phenolic content followed a linear increasing tendency as a result of increasing the extract concentration, irrespective of the type of extract. Higher antioxidant activity was found in the liposomes loaded with the ethanolic extract, in a clear relationship to the greater amount of highly antioxidant phenolic compounds extracted, and also to their lower entrapment efficiency, which caused a greater amount of extract to remain outside the liposome. Both extracts were suitable for producing liposomes with antioxidant properties which could be dried and used to design functional foods.

Abstract
Nowadays, the freeze-drying of liposome dispersions is still necessary to provide a solid dosage form intended for different routes of administration (i.e., parenteral, oral, nasal and/or pulmonary). However, after decades of studies the optimization of process conditions remains still challenging since the freezing and the dehydration destabilize the vesicle organization with the concomitant drug leakage. Starting from the thermal properties of phospholipids, this work reviews the main formulation and process parameters which can guarantee a product with suitable characteristics and increase the efficiency of the manufacturing process. In particular, an overview of the cryo- and/or lyo-protective mechanisms of several excipients and the possible use of co-solvent mixtures is provided. Attention is also focused on the imaging methods recently proposed to characterize the appearance of freeze-dried products and liposome dispersions upon reconstitution. The combination of such data would allow a better knowledge of the factors causing inter-vials variability in the attempt to improve the quality of the final medicinal product.

Abstract
AIM To develop novel siRNA delivery system overcoming the limitations of synthetic nanoparticles, such as potential side effects, nonspecificity and economic production for ulcerative colitis therapy. MATERIALS & METHODS Nanoparticles composed of edible ginger-derived lipid, termed ginger-derived lipid vehicles (GDLVs) were generated from ginger lipids through hydration of a lipid film, a commonly used method for a liposome fabrication. The morphology, biocompatibility and transfection efficiency of GDLVs loaded with siRNA-CD98 (siRNA-CD98/GDLVs) were characterized by standard methods. RESULTS Orally administered siRNA-CD98/GDLVs were effectively targeted specifically to colon tissues, resulting in reduced expression of CD98. CONCLUSION These GDLVs have great promise as efficient siRNA-delivery vehicles while potentially obviating issues related to the traditional synthetic nanoparticles. As such, they help shift the current paradigm of siRNA delivery away from artificially synthesized nanoparticles toward the use of naturally derived nanovehicles from edible plants.
