Separation, Purification, Structural Characterization, and Anticancer Activity of a Novel Exopolysaccharide from Mucor sp. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 27:molecules27072071.

Abstract
Mucor sp. has a wide range of applications in the food fermentation industry. In this study, a novel exopolysaccharide, labeled MSEPS, was separated from Mucor sp. fermentation broth through ethanol precipitation and was purified by ion-exchange chromatography, as well as gel filtration column chromatography. MSEPS was composed mostly of mannose, galactose, fucose, arabinose, and glucose with a molar ratio of 0.466:0.169:0.139:0.126:0.015 and had a molecular weight of 7.78 × 104 Da. The analysis of methylation and nuclear magnetic resonance results indicated that MSEPS mainly consisted of a backbone of →3,6)-α-d-Manp-(1→3,6)-β-d-Galp-(1→, with substitution at O-3 of →6)-α-d-Manp-(1→ and →6)-β-d-Galp-(1→ by terminal α-l-Araf residues. MTT assays showed that MSEPS was nontoxic in normal cells (HK-2 cells) and inhibited the proliferation of carcinoma cells (SGC-7901 cells). Additionally, morphological analysis and flow cytometry experiments indicated that MSEPS promoted SGC-7901 cell death via apoptosis. Therefore, MSEPS from Mucor sp. can be developed as a potential antitumor agent.

Abstract
Litchi chinensis seed is a valuable byproduct of the subtropical fruit litchi (L. chinensis Sonn.), whose extract (LSE) has been confirmed to ameliorate dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, and oxidative stress caused by type 2 diabetes. However, if LSE exerts an effect on anti-hypertension and hypertensive renal damage remains unknown. In this study, 13 polyphenols and one fatty acid were identified by UPLC-Q/TOF-MS. Network pharmacological analysis revealed that the therapeutic effects of LSE may be involved in multitargets and multipathways, such as the TNF signaling pathway, interleukin (IL)-6-mediated signaling pathway, NF-kappa B signaling pathway, removal of superoxide radicals, negative regulation of blood pressure, and so forth. Moreover, spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) were daily gavaged with LSE (60 mg/kg) for 10 weeks. LSE remarkably reduced systolic blood pressure (SBP). The hypertension-induced renal damage was improved by suppressing inflammation and oxidative stress, which was consistent with the prediction of network pharmacology. In addition, LSE treatment remarkably increased the relative abundances of Lactobacillus and the production of short-chain fatty acids in the intestine. Our study indicated that a byproduct of litchi, namely, litchi seed, may be effective in reducing SBP and alleviating hypertensive renal damage.

Abstract
This work aimed to achieve long-lasting delivery of radix ophiopogonis polysaccharide (ROP) by sucrose acetate isobutyrate (SAIB)-based in situ forming systems (ISFSs) alone or combined with mono-PEGylation of ROP. When the ‘90%SAIB/10% solvent’ system was used, the mean residence time (MRT) of ROP was prolonged by 4.3 5 ∼ 7.00 times and the initial release rate was reduced significantly. However, this system was only suitable for days-long sustained release of ROP in short-term therapy. As to the ‘SAIB/additives/solvent’ system containing mono-PEGylated ROP, the results indicated that SAIB/poly(d,l-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA)/N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) was superior to SAIB/polylactic acid (PLA)/NMP and SAIB/PLA/ethanol in controlled release. Moreover, weeks- to months-long (16–60 d) smooth release of ROP could be achieved by varying the concentration (10–30%) and molecular weight (MW) of PLGA (10–50 kDa) or by employing a moderate MW of PEGylated ROP (∼20 or ∼30 kDa). With further increasing the conjugate MW to ∼40 kDa, the contribution of drug elimination to its plasma retention seemed to surpass that of the SAIB-based system, resulting in that the system no longer had an obvious influence on the in vivo behavior of the conjugate. Besides, the results of host response confirmed that with less solvent being used, the SAIB-based systems showed a higher biocompatibility than the PLGA-based systems, suggesting that they could be freely chosen in the prevention and/or cure of chronic diseases.

Abstract
O. japonicus and L. spicata var. prolifera are distinguished as sources of highly promising yin-tonifying medicinals, namely Ophiopogonis Radix and Liriopes Radix. Liriopes Radix is generally medicinally used as a substitute for Ophiopogonis Radix in various prescriptions due to their extremely similar nature. Ophiopogonis Radix and Liriopes Radix are both very rich in bioactive polysaccharides, especially β‑fructans. Over the past twelve years, except for work on physical entrapment and chemical modification of obtained β‑fructans, the vast majority of studies are carried out to investigate the bioactivities of O. japonicus polysaccharides (OJP) and L. spicata var. prolifera polysaccharides (LSP), mainly including anti-diabetes, immunomodulation, anti-inflammation, antioxidation, anti-obesity, cardiovascular protection, etc. In addition, OJP and LSP are considered to have the potential to regulate intestinal flora. The main purpose of this review is to provide systematically reorganized information on structural characteristics and bioactivities of OJP and LSP to support their further therapeutic potentials and sanitarian functions.

Abstract
Over several decades, natural polysaccharides (PSs) have been actively exploited for their wide bioactivities. So far, many PS-related reviews have been published; however, none focused on the delivery of bioactive PSs as therapeutic molecules. Herein, we summarized and discussed general pharmacokinetic properties of PSs and drug delivery systems (DDSs) developed for them, together with the challenges and prospects. Overall, most bioactive PSs suffer from undesirable pharmacokinetic attributes, which negatively affect their efficacy and clinical use. Various DDSs therefore have been being utilized to improve the drug-like properties and curative efficacy of bioactive PSs by means of improving oral absorption, controlling the release, enhancing the in vivo retention ability, targeting the delivery, exerting synergistic effects, and so on. Specifically, nano-sized insoluble DDSs were mainly applied to improve the oral absorption and target delivery of PSs, among which liposome was especially suitable for immunoregulatory and/or anti-ischemic PSs due to its synergistic effects in immunoregulation and biomembrane repair. Chemical conjugation of PSs was mainly utilized to improve their oral absorption and/or prolong their blood residence. With formulation flexibility, in situ forming systems alone or in combination with drug conjugation could be used to achieve day(s)- or month(s)-long sustained delivery of PSs per dosing.

Abstract
Infrared spectra were collected on mixtures of ethylene glycol (EG) and polyethylene glycol 600 (PEG600) as a function of weight fraction from pure EG to pure PEG600. In this paper, it will be shown that while the OH vibrational contribution drastically reduces its center frequency from 3450 cm-1 to 3300 cm-1 in the weight fraction range 0-25%, the displacement of the mixture spectral features of the mixtures from ideal behavior, i.e., in the absence of interaction, shows the presence of a non-ideal mixing process. Furthermore, wavelet cross-correlation analysis of the registered pairs of spectra and of the intramolecular O-H stretching contributions reveals how the addition of a small amount of pure EG to PEG600 dramatically influences the structural properties of the polymeric matrix, owing to an increase the intermolecular connectivity. In particular, the wavelet cross-correlation parameters, evaluated between each pair of the registered data as a function of weight fraction, in a linear-logarithmic plot, reveals an inflection point for a weight fraction of about 25% of EG, which confirms that, within the three-dimensional networks of hydrogen-bonded EG-PEG600 molecules, a key role is played by EG in determining an increase in the hydrogen-bond network density.

Abstract
Drug delivery to ischemic myocardium is an enormous challenge. This work aimed to characterize cardiac delivery behaviors of mono-polyethylene glycosylated (PEGylated) conjugates and long-circulating liposomes (L-Lps) with Radix Ophiopogonis polysaccharide (ROP) as drug. The results showed that compared to native ROP, 32-, 52-, and 45-fold increases in blood half-life were achieved by 20-kDa PEG mono-modified ROP (P20k-R), 40-kDa PEG mono-modified ROP (P40k-R), and ROP-loaded L-Lp, respectively. With comparable blood pharmacokinetics, ROP-loaded L-Lp showed both significantly higher targeting efficacy and drug exposure in infarcted myocardium than P40k-R. With regard to P20k-R, both its targeting efficacy and its level in infarcted myocardium at 3 hours postdose were comparable to P40k-R, but its level in blood and myocardium reduced obviously faster. As a whole, the results indicate that both loading in L-Lps and mono-PEGylation are effective in targeting drug to ischemic myocardium, but the former appears to induce stronger effects.

Abstract
Although PEGylation plays an important role in drug delivery, knowledge about the distribution behavior of PEGylated drugs in ischemic myocardia is rather limited compared to nanoparticles. This work therefore aims to characterize the targeting behavior of the anti-myocardial ischemic mono-PEGylated conjugates of Radix Ophiopogonis polysaccharide (ROP) in two clinically relevant animal models, ie, the myocardial infarction (MI) model and the ischemia/reperfusion (IR) model. To determine the effect of the molecular size of conjugates, two representative conjugates (20- and 40-kDa polyethylene glycol mono-modified ROPs), with hydrodynamic size being approximately and somewhat beyond 10 nm, respectively, were studied in parallel at three time points postdose after a method for determining them quantitatively in biosamples was established. The results showed that the cardiac distribution of the two conjugates was significantly enhanced in both MI and IR rats due to the enhanced permeability and retention effect induced by ischemia. In general, the cardiac targeting efficacy of the conjugates in MI and IR rats was approximately 2; however, different changing in targeting efficacy with time was observed between MI and IR rats and also between the conjugates. Although the enhanced permeability and retention effect-based targeting efficacy for mono-PEGylated ROPs was not high, they, as dissolved macromolecules, are prone to diffusion in the cardiac interstitium space, and thus, facilitate the drug to reach perfusion-deficient and nonperfused areas. These findings are helpful in choosing the cardiac targeting strategy.

Abstract
Background Radix Ophiopogonis polysaccharide (ROP), a highly hydrophilic macromolecule, has a unique anti-ischemic action in the myocardium. One of the main problems with its use is its relatively short half-life in vivo. To solve this problem, injectable long-acting drug delivery systems, which combine mono-PEGylation (PEG, polyethylene glycol) with the in situ formation of poly(d,l-lactide-co-glycolide) copolymer (PLGA) depots, were tested in this study. Methods Through a moderate coupling reaction between 20 kDa amino-terminated methoxy-PEG and excessive ROP with activated hydroxyls, a long-circulating and bioactive mono-PEGylated ROP was prepared and characterized. A reasonable and applicable range of PLGA formulations loaded with the mono-PEGylated ROP were prepared, characterized, and evaluated in vivo. Results Relative to ROP, the half-life of which was only 0.5 hours, the conjugate alone, following subcutaneous administration, showed markedly prolonged retention in the systemic circulation, with a mean residence time in vivo of approximately 2.76 days. In combination with in situ-forming PLGA depots, the residence time of the conjugate in vivo was prolonged further. In particular, a long-lasting and steady plasma exposure for nearly a month was achieved by the formulation comprising 40% 30 kDa PLGA in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. Conclusion Long-lasting and steady drug exposure could be achieved using mono-PEGylation in combination with in situ formation of PLGA depots. Such a combination with ROP would be promising for long-term prophylaxis and/or treatment of myocardial ischemia. For high-dose and highly hydrophilic macromolecular drugs like ROP, more than one preparation technology might be needed to achieve week-long or month-long delivery per dosing.
