Abstract
Natural products of plant origin are of high interest and widely used, especially in the food industry, due to their low toxicity and wide range of bioactive properties. Compared to other plant components, the safety of polysaccharides has been generally recognized. As dietary fibers, plant-derived polysaccharides are mostly degraded in the intestine by polysaccharide-degrading enzymes secreted by gut microbiota, and have potential prebiotic activity in both non-disease and disease states, which should not be overlooked, especially in terms of their involvement in the treatment of intestinal diseases and the promotion of intestinal health. This review elucidates the regulatory effects of plant-derived polysaccharides on gut microbiota and summarizes the mechanisms involved in targeting gut microbiota for the treatment of intestinal diseases. Further, the structure-activity relationships between different structural types of plant-derived polysaccharides and the occurrence of their prebiotic activity are further explored. Finally, the practical applications of plant-derived polysaccharides in food production and food packaging are summarized and discussed, providing important references for expanding the application of plant-derived polysaccharides in the food industry or developing functional dietary supplements.

Solid lipid nanoparticle as an effective drug delivery system of a novel curcumin derivative: formulation, release in vitro and pharmacokinetics in vivo. PHARMACEUTICAL BIOLOGY 2022; 60:2300-2307. [PMID: 36606719 PMCID: PMC9704087 DOI: 10.1080/13880209.2022.2136205] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2022] [Revised: 09/20/2022] [Accepted: 10/09/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
CONTEXT Curcumin (Cur) has a short duration of action which limits its therapeutic efficacy. Carbonic acid 17-(1,5-dimethyl-hexyl)-10,13-dimethyl-2,3,4,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17-tetradecahydro-1H-cyclopenta[a]phenanthren-3-yl ester 4-[7-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-phenyl)-3,5-dioxo-hepta-1,6-dienyl]-2-methoxy-phenyl ester (CUD), as a small molecule derivative of Cur with superior stability, has been developed in our laboratory. OBJECTIVE CUD-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (CUD-SLN) were prepared to prolong the duration of the drug action of Cur. MATERIALS AND METHODS CUD-SLN were prepared with Poloxamer 188 (F68) and hydrogenated soybean phospholipids (HSPC) as carriers, and the prescription was optimized. The in vitro release of CUD and CUD-SLN was investigated. CUD-SLN (5 mg/kg) was injected into Sprague Dawley (SD) rats to investigate its pharmacokinetic behaviour. RESULTS CUD-SLN features high entrapment efficiency (96.8 ± 0.4%), uniform particle size (113.0 ± 0.8 nm), polydispersity index (PDI) (0.177 ± 0.007) and an appropriate drug loading capacity (6.2 ± 0.1%). Optimized CUD-SLN exhibited sustained release of CUD for about 48 h. Moreover, the results of the pharmacokinetic studies showed that, compared to Cur, CUD-SLN had a considerably prolonged half-life of 14.7 h, slowed its metabolism in vivo by 35.6-fold, and had an improved area under the curve (AUC0-t) of 37.0-fold. CONCLUSIONS CUD-SLN is a promising preparation for the development of a small molecule derivative of Cur.

Experimental and theoretical investigations into the mechanism of interactions between membrane-bound fatty acids and their binding protein: A model system to investigate the behavior of lipid acyl chains in contact with proteins. Chem Phys Lipids 2022; 247:105227. [PMID: 35932927 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemphyslip.2022.105227] [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: 05/29/2022] [Revised: 07/27/2022] [Accepted: 07/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
The interaction of proteins with hydrophobic ligands in biological membranes is an important research topic in the life sciences. The hydrophobic nature of ligands, especially their lack of water solubility, often makes it difficult to experimentally investigate their interactions with proteins, thus hampering quantitative evaluation based on thermodynamic parameters. The fatty acid-binding proteins, particularly FABP3, discussed in this review can recognize fatty acids, a primary component of membrane lipids, with high affinity. The precise three-dimensional structure of fatty acids and related ligands bound in FABP3 and their interaction with the binding pocket will contribute to the understanding of accurately determining physicochemical factors that cause the expression of affinity between protein surfaces and lipids in biological membranes. During the research of FABP3, we encountered many of the problems that were widely implicated in experiments dealing with hydrophobic ligands. To address these issues, we developed experimental methodologies using X-ray crystallography, calorimetry, and surface plasmon resonance. Using these methods and computational approaches, we have obtained several insights into the interaction of hydrophobic ligands with protein binding sites. Structural and functional studies of FABP potentially lead to a better understanding of the interaction between lipids and proteins, and thus, this protein may provide one of the model systems for investigating substance transport across cell membranes and inner membrane systems.

Abstract
Extracts from the bran of Chenopodium quinoa Willd. (QBE) were reported to be active in inhibiting α-glycosidase, a promising target for treatment of diabetes mellitus. However, the constituents responsible for the α-glucosidase-inhibiting activity of QBE have not been fully characterized. The present study aimed to set up a method for rapid identification of glycosidase inhibiting compounds from the quinoa bran. With surface plasmon resonance (SPR) coupled with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), we identified eight flavonoids and ten triterpenoid saponins that may bind to the α-glycosidase. Analysis of the interaction kinetics by molecular docking supported their α-glucosidase-inhibiting activity and revealed the potential mechanisms for the inhibitory effects. In summary, this study established a SPR and LC-MS-based method for rapid in vitro screening of α-glucosidase inhibitors and suggested the quinoa bran a potential natural source of α-glucosidase inhibitors.

Inhibitory Activity and Mechanism Investigation of Hypericin as a Novel α-Glucosidase Inhibitor. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26154566.

Abstract
α-glucosidase is a major enzyme that is involved in starch digestion and type 2 diabetes mellitus. In this study, the inhibition of hypericin by α-glucosidase and its mechanism were firstly investigated using enzyme kinetics analysis, real-time interaction analysis between hypericin and α-glucosidase by surface plasmon resonance (SPR), and molecular docking simulation. The results showed that hypericin was a high potential reversible and competitive α-glucosidase inhibitor, with a maximum half inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 4.66 ± 0.27 mg/L. The binding affinities of hypericin with α-glucosidase were assessed using an SPR detection system, which indicated that these were strong and fast, with balances dissociation constant (KD) values of 6.56 × 10−5 M and exhibited a slow dissociation reaction. Analysis by molecular docking further revealed that hydrophobic forces are generated by interactions between hypericin and amino acid residues Arg-315 and Tyr-316. In addition, hydrogen bonding occurred between hypericin and α-glucosidase amino acid residues Lys-156, Ser-157, Gly-160, Ser-240, His-280, Asp-242, and Asp-307. The structure and micro-environment of α-glucosidase enzymes were altered, which led to a decrease in α-glucosidase activity. This research identified that hypericin, an anthracene ketone compound, could be a novel α-glucosidase inhibitor and further applied to the development of potential anti-diabetic drugs.

An α-synuclein decoy peptide prevents cytotoxic α-synuclein aggregation caused by fatty acid binding protein 3. J Biol Chem 2021; 296:100663. [PMID: 33862084 PMCID: PMC8131325 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2021.100663] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2020] [Revised: 04/07/2021] [Accepted: 04/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
α-synuclein (αSyn) is a protein known to form intracellular aggregates during the manifestation of Parkinson’s disease. Previously, it was shown that αSyn aggregation was strongly suppressed in the midbrain region of mice that did not possess the gene encoding the lipid transport protein fatty acid binding protein 3 (FABP3). An interaction between these two proteins was detected in vitro, suggesting that FABP3 may play a role in the aggregation and deposition of αSyn in neurons. To characterize the molecular mechanisms that underlie the interactions between FABP3 and αSyn that modulate the cellular accumulation of the latter, in this report, we used in vitro fluorescence assays combined with fluorescence microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and quartz crystal microbalance assays to characterize in detail the process and consequences of FABP3–αSyn interaction. We demonstrated that binding of FABP3 to αSyn results in changes in the aggregation mechanism of the latter; specifically, a suppression of fibrillar forms of αSyn and also the production of aggregates with an enhanced cytotoxicity toward mice neuro2A cells. Because this interaction involved the C-terminal sequence region of αSyn, we tested a peptide derived from this region of αSyn (αSynP130-140) as a decoy to prevent the FABP3–αSyn interaction. We observed that the peptide competitively inhibited binding of αSyn to FABP3 in vitro and in cultured cells. We propose that administration of αSynP130-140 might be used to prevent the accumulation of toxic FABP3-αSyn oligomers in cells, thereby preventing the progression of Parkinson’s disease.

Food Sci Nutr 2020; 8:620-628.

Abstract
This study evaluated the interaction of Chrysanthemum indicum (CI) flavonoids (luteolin, acacetin, and buddleoside) with α-amylase. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) assay showed their equilibrium dissociation constants (KD ) are 1.9695 ± 0.12, 2.9240 ± 0.20, and 3.2966 ± 0.08 mM at pH 6.0, respectively. Furthermore, their binding affinities were influenced by KCl, MgCl2, and CaCl2. Enzymatic kinetic studies revealed that three flavonoids exhibited noncompetitive α-amylase inhibitory activity. The inhibitory sequence is luteolin > acacetin > buddleoside, which was in accordance with the results of binding affinity from SPR. 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl radical assay demonstrated that antioxidant activities of three flavonoids were inhibited significantly with α-amylase. Meanwhile, the study reveals that hydroxyl on C'-4, C'-5, and C-7 of flavonoids play an important role on the interaction of three flavonoids with α-amylase. Also, SPR could be used as sensor for rapid screening inhibitors of α-amylase and provide useful information for the application of C. indicum flavonoids in food and pharmaceutical area.

Abstract
Long-chain fatty acids (FAs) act centrally to decrease food intake and hepatic glucose production and alter hypothalamic neuronal activity in a manner that depends on FA type and cellular transport proteins. However, it is not known whether FAs are sensed by ventral tegmental area (VTA) dopamine (DA) neurons to control food-motivated behavior and DA neurotransmission. We investigated the impact of the monounsaturated FA oleate in the VTA on feeding, locomotion, food reward, and DA neuronal activity and DA neuron expression of FA-handling proteins and FA uptake. A single intra-VTA injection of oleate, but not of the saturated FA palmitate, decreased food intake and increased locomotor activity. Furthermore, intra-VTA oleate blunted the rewarding effects of high-fat/sugar food in an operant task and inhibited DA neuronal firing. Using sorted DA neuron preparations from TH-eGFP mice we found that DA neurons express FA transporter and binding proteins, and are capable of intracellular transport of long-chain FA. Finally, we demonstrate that a transporter blocker attenuates FA uptake into DA neurons and blocks the effects of intra-VTA oleate to decrease food-seeking and DA neuronal activity. Together, these results suggest that DA neurons detect FA and that oleate has actions in the VTA to suppress DA neuronal activity and food seeking following cellular incorporation. These findings highlight the capacity of DA neurons to act as metabolic sensors by responding not only to hormones but also to FA nutrient signals to modulate food-directed behavior.

Abstract
Flavonoids, a class of natural drugs with broad biological activity, exhibit inhibitory effect on α-amylase. Citrus peel is a good source of flavonoids. The real-time interactions between three Citrus flavonoids (naringin, neohesperidin, hesperidin) and α-amylase were investigated by surface plasmon resonance biosensor, and were compared with the α-amylase inhibitors, acarbose. These results showed the binding affinities of naringin, neohesperidin and hesperidin with α-amylase reach the highest at pH6 with KD values of 2.27±0.18mM, 3.09±0.20mM and 3.51±0.09mM, and can be reinforced with 0.2M NaCl and 0.1M CaCl2, respectively. The results of 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl radical assay indicate that the antioxidant activities of naringin, neohesperidin and hesperidin are significantly inhibited by interacting with α-amylase, and the inhibition percentage are 47.61±0.034%, 22.81±0.037% and 21.01±0.051%, respectively. Additionally, it is found that both the number and the position of hydroxyl group play an important role in the interaction of three Citrus flavonoids and α-amylase. These results provide useful information for rapid screening inhibitors of α-amylase from plant-based food.

Exploring the interactions between isoprenoid chain and labdenediol diphosphate synthase based on molecular docking and quartz crystal microbalance. J Mol Model 2014; 20:2527. [PMID: 25472483 DOI: 10.1007/s00894-014-2527-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2014] [Accepted: 11/10/2014] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
Many natural products and biosynthetic intermediates contain isoprenoid chains. Isoprenoid chains are believed to interact with some proteins in the biological systems, but such interactions remain poorly understood. Here labdenediol diphosphate synthase (LPPS) was used as a model to explore the molecular interactions involving isoprenoid chains. Both homology modeling and docking simulation results indicated that binding form between isoprenoid chain and LPPS is dominated by hydrophobic forces in one binding site. The interactions were also examined via quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) technology using synthetic isoprenoid chain-contained probes. The binding constant (1.51 μM(-1)), binding site number (n = 1) and key amino acid residues (Y196, F262, W266, F301, F308, W398, W439, and Y445) were obtained. Both computational and QCM results suggested that LPPS interacts strongly with farnesyl and geranylgeranyl groups. These interactions are primarily caused by hydrophobic and π-π interaction nature. Together, this study provided insightful information to understand molecular interactions between isoprenoid chains and proteins.
