[PMID: 39270911 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.135457] [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: 07/24/2024] [Revised: 08/24/2024] [Accepted: 09/06/2024] [Indexed: 09/15/2024]
Abstract
Diabetes mellitus characterized by abnormal glucose concentration is a metabolic disease. α-Glu inhibitors from natural sources are a good choice for searching for high-efficiency and low-toxicity hypoglycemic drugs. In this study, a naturally effective α-Glu inhibitor aspergillus triazolate A (ATA) with a peculiar structure was first found in Oxalis corniculate L., then its activity and mechanism were first elucidated through various methods. These mechanisms included enzyme kinetics, circular dichroism spectra, fluorescence spectra, synchronous fluorescence spectrum, 3D fluorescence spectrum, and molecular docking. Meanwhile, the ability to reduce postprandial blood glucose was further investigated in vivo. Research results revealed that ATA was a mixed type α-Glu inhibitor with an IC50 value of 66.87 ± 1.50 μM, which bound to the enzyme from a single site through hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic forces causing the looser secondary structure of α-Glu. It was also found that the binding site of α-Glu was closer to the Trp residue, and the endogenous fluorescence of α-Glu was quenched in a static quenching form. Moreover, the sucrose loading test in vivo revealed that the ATA of 20 mg/kg could effectively reduce the postprandial blood glucose level. Hence, ATA could be used as lead compound to develop novel α-Glu inhibitors.

Abstract
The transcription factor known as sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP) and the glycation pathways, specifically the formation of Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs), have a significant and deleterious impact on the kidney. They alter renal lipid metabolism and promote glomerulosclerosis, mesangial cell expansion, tubulointerstitial fibrosis, and inflammation, leading to diabetic nephropathy (DN) progression. Although several pieces of scientific evidence are reported for potential causes of glycation and lipotoxicity in DN, the underlying mechanism of renal lipid accumulation still needs to be fully understood. We provide a rationalized view on how AGEs exert multiple effects that cause SREBP activation and inflammation, contributing to DN through Receptor for AGEs (RAGE) signaling, AGE-R1-dependent downregulation of Sirtuin 1 (SIRT-1), and increased SREBP Cleavage Activating Protein (SCAP) glycosylation. This review emphasizes the association between glycation and the SREBP pathway and how it affects the onset of DN associated with obesity. Finally, we discuss the correlation of glycation and the SREBP pathway with insulin resistance (IR), oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, inflammation, and existing and emerging therapeutic approaches toward better controlling obesity-related DN.

Polysaccharides from Seedless Chestnut Rose ( Rosa sterilis) Fruits: Insights into Innovative Drying Technologies and Their Structural Characteristics, Antioxidant, Antiglycation, and α-Glucosidase Inhibitory Activities.

[PMID: 39200410 PMCID: PMC11353437 DOI: 10.3390/foods13162483] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2024] [Revised: 07/31/2024] [Accepted: 08/06/2024] [Indexed: 09/02/2024] Open
Abstract
The selection of an optimal drying method is essential for extending the shelf life and enhancing the quality of Rosa sterilis fruits. This study investigated the effects of both innovative (microwave vacuum drying and infrared drying) and traditional (freeze-drying and hot air drying) techniques on the structural characteristics and bioactivities of polysaccharides from R. sterilis fruits (RSPs). Four different RSPs were obtained from fruits dried using these methods. Results demonstrated that the structural characteristics and bioactivities of RSPs varied significantly with the drying method. Notable differences were observed in extraction yield, total sugar, uronic acid content, monosaccharide molar ratios, molecular weight distribution, particle size, thermal stability, and microstructures of RSPs. Despite these variations, the types of constituent monosaccharides and major glycosidic linkages remained consistent across all methods. Notably, RSPs obtained via microwave vacuum drying (RSPs-MVD) showed a higher uronic acid content and lower molecular weight, and exhibited stronger in vitro antioxidant, α-glucosidase inhibitory, and antiglycation activities. These findings suggest that microwave vacuum drying is an effective pre-drying technique for extracting RSPs, making them suitable as bioactive ingredients in functional foods and pharmaceuticals for managing diabetes mellitus and its complications.

Abstract
Condensed tannins were isolated from the bark of Ficus altissima and fractionated into four subcomponents on a Sephadex LH-20 column with 60 %, 80 %, 100 % methanol, and 70 % acetone, separately. Their structures were characterized by MALDI-TOF MS coupled with HPLC-ESI-MS and confirmed to be polymers of B-type procyanidin glucosides, procyanidins, and prodelphinidin glucosides. The degree of polymerization (DP) of these polymers was as high as 21, and the mDPs of the four subcomponents were calculated as 2.4, 6.6, 10.5 and 13.4, respectively. They competitively or noncompetitively suppressed the activities of tyrosinase and α-glucosidase through hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interaction. And they also showed a powerful antioxidative activity. Correlation analyses verified that the anti-tyrosinase capacity exhibited a significant positive correlation (R2monophenolase = 0.9167 and R2diphenolase = 0.9302) with mDP within the methanol-water system, and the anti-α-glucosidase activity also showed a significant positive correlation with the mDP (R2 = 0.9187). In contrast, the antioxidant capability showed a significant negative correlation with the mDP (R2DPPH = 0.9258, R2ABTS = 0.9372). This study confirmed that condensed tannins from the bark of F. altissima were desirable anti-tyrosinase, anti-α-glucosidase, and antioxidant agents, and elucidated the relationships of their mDP (molecular weight) and activities, which provided a scientific basis for the comprehensive utilization of these polymers in the food, cosmetics, medicine and other fields.

Abstract
Tyrosinase is a biological macromolecule closely related to browning of fruit and vegetables, melanin production, and tyrosinase inhibitors are usually used to prevent browning and pigmentation. In this study, longan shell tannins (LSTs) were screened as tyrosinase inhibitors and their structures were proved to be mixtures of procyanidins (condensed tannins) and ellagitannins (hydrolyzed tannins). Enzymatic experiments verified that LSTs were efficient inhibitors, and the IC50 values for monophenolase and bisphenolase were 176.04 ± 10 and 59.94 ± 5 μg mL-1, respectively. Fluorescence detections and molecular docking revealed that the combination of LSTs to tyrosinase was mainly driven by hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interaction, as well as van der Waals force, which changed the microenvironment of tyrosine and tryptophan residues as well as enzyme conformation. Circular dichroism and molecular dynamics simulation showed that LSTs affected secondary structures of tyrosinase, resulting in structural stretching and conformational modification of the enzyme. In addition, preservation studies demonstrated that LSTs owned the ability to delay the browning of fresh-cut apples by inhibiting phenolic metabolism, strengthening the antioxidant system, and reducing lipid peroxidation. This paper testified that LSTs are exteaordinary tyrosinase inhibitors, and offered a scientific foundation for the application of LSTs in food industry and medicine.

Evaluation of antioxidant, antidiabetic and antiobesity potential of phenylpropanoids (PPs): Structure-activity relationship and insight into action mechanisms against dual digestive enzymes by comprehensive technologies.

[PMID: 38507999 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2024.107290] [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: 01/23/2024] [Revised: 03/03/2024] [Accepted: 03/14/2024] [Indexed: 03/22/2024]
Abstract
Phenylpropanoids (PPs), a group of natural compounds characterized by one or more C6-C3 units, have exhibited considerable potential in addressing metabolic disease. However, the comprehensive investigation on the relationship of compound structures and involved activity, along with the action mechanisms on the drug target is absent. This study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant and inhibitory activities of 16 PPs against two digestive enzymes, including α-glucosidase and pancreatic lipase, explore the structure-activity relationships and elucidate the mechanisms underlying enzyme inhibition. The findings revealed the similarities in the rules governing antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory activities of PPs. Specifically, the introduction of hydroxyl groups generally exerted positive effects on the activities, while the further methoxylation and glycosylation were observed to be unfavorable. Among the studied PPs, esculetin exhibited the most potent antioxidant activity and dual enzymes inhibition potential, displaying IC50 values of 0.017 and 0.0428 mM for DPPH and ABTS radicals scavenging, as well as 1.36 and 6.67 mM for α-glucosidase and lipase inhibition, respectively. Quantification analysis indicated esculetin bound on both α-glucosidase and lipase successfully by a mixed-type mode. Further analyses by UV-Vis, FT-IR, fluorescence spectra, surface hydrophobicity, SEM, and molecular docking elucidated that esculetin could bind on the catalytic or non-catalytic sites of enzymes to form complex, impacting the normal spatial conformation for hydrolyzing the substrate, thus exhibiting the weakened activity. These results may shed light on the utilization value of natural PPs for the management of hyperglycemia and hyperlipemia, and afford the theoretical basis for designing drugs with stronger inhibition against the dual digestive enzymes based on esculetin.

Abstract
Significance: Currently, a large amount of evidence of beneficial effects of diets enriched with polyphenols on various aspects of health has been accumulated. These phytochemicals have a geroprotective potential slowing down the pathological processes associated with aging and ensuring longevity. In this study, a comprehensive analysis was conducted to determine the adherence of individual polyphenols to geroprotector criteria. Data from experimental models, clinical trials, and epidemiological studies were analyzed. Recent Advances: Sixty-two polyphenols have been described to increase the life span and improve biomarkers of aging in animal models. They act via evolutionarily conserved molecular mechanisms, including hormesis and maintenance of redox homeostasis, epigenetic regulation, response to cellular damage, metabolic control, and anti-inflammatory and senolytic activity. Epidemiological and clinical studies suggest that certain polyphenols have a potential for prevention and treatment of various diseases, including cancer, metabolic disorders, and cardiovascular conditions in humans. Critical Issues: Among the reviewed phytochemicals, chlorogenic acid, quercetin, epicatechin, genistein, resveratrol, and curcumin were identified as compounds with the highest geroprotective potential. However, there is a lack of unambiguous information on the effectiveness and safety of polyphenols for increasing health span, preventing and treating aging-associated diseases in humans. Future Directions: Further research is needed to fully understand the effects of polyphenols considering their long-term consumption, metabolic modification and bioavailability, complex interactions between different groups of polyphenols and with other phytochemicals, as well as their effects on individuals with different health status.

Abstract
Xanthine oxidase (XO) is a crucial target for hyperuricemia treatment(s). Naturally occurred XO inhibitors with minimal toxicity and high efficacy have attracted researchers' attention. With the goal of quickly identifying natural XO inhibitors, an integrated computational screening strategy was constructed by molecular docking and calculating the free energy of binding. Twenty-seven hits were achieved from a database containing 19,377 natural molecules. This includes fourteen known XO inhibitors and four firstly-reported inhibitors (isolicoflavonol, 5,7-dihydroxycoumarin, parvifolol D and clauszoline M, IC50 < 40 μM). Iolicoflavonol (hit 8, IC50 = 8.45 ± 0.68 μM) and 5,7-dihydroxycoumarin (hit 25, IC50 = 10.91 ± 0.71 μM) displayed the great potency as mixed-type inhibitors. Docking study and molecular dynamics simulation revealed that both hits could interact with XO's primarily active site residues ARG880, MOS1328, and ASN768 of XO. Fluorescence spectroscopy studies showed that hit 8 bound to the active cavity region of XO, causing changes in XO's conformation and hydrophobicity. Hits 8 and 25 exhibit favorable Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Excretion (ADME) properties. Additionally, no cytotoxicity against human liver cells was observed at their median inhibition concentrations against XO. Therefore, the present study offers isolicoflavonol and 5,7-dihydroxycoumarin with the potential to be disease-modifying agents for hyperuricemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus poses a substantial threat to public health due to rising morbidity and mortality. α-Glucosidase is one of the key enzymes affecting diabetes. Herein, (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and (-)-epigallocatechin (EGC) were applied to clarify the role of the galloyl moiety of tea polyphenols in the inhibition of glycation and α-glucosidase activity. The structure-activity relationship of the galloyl moiety in EGCG on α-glucosidase was investigated in terms of inhibition kinetics, spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy and molecular docking. A bovine serum protein-fructose model was employed to determine the effect of the galloyl moiety on glycation. RESULTS The results indicated that the introduction of a galloyl moiety enhanced the capacity of EGCG to inhibit glycation and α-glucosidase activity. The IC50 value of EGC is approximately 2400 times higher than that of EGCG. Furthermore, the galloyl moiety in EGCG altered the microenvironment and secondary structure of α-glucosidase, resulting in a high binding affinity of EGCG to α-glucosidase. The binding constant of EGCG to α-glucosidase at 298 K is approximately 28 times higher than that of EGC. CONCLUSION Overall, the galloyl moiety of EGCG plays a crucial role in inhibiting glycation and α-glucosidase activity, which helps to enhance the molecular understanding of the structure and function of the polyphenol galloyl moiety in the science of food and agriculture. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
A class of new kojic acid hybrids (7a-7o) bearing a 1,2,4-triazine moiety were prepared, and their inhibitory activities and mechanism on tyrosinase were investigated. All derivatives showed good to excellent anti-tyrosinase activity with IC50 values ranging from 0.34 ± 0.06 μM to 8.44 ± 0.73 μM. In kinetic study, compound 7m was a mixed-type inhibitor with Ki and Kis of 0.73 and 1.27 μM, respectively. The interaction mechanism toward tyrosinase of compound 7m was further elaborated in combination with molecular docking and various spectral techniques. The results showed that compound 7m could change the secondary structure of tyrosinase to reduce its catalytic activity. Anti-browning assays demonstrated that 7m inhibited the browning of bananas effectively during storage. What's more, 7m was found to have low cytotoxicity in vitro. In conclusion, compound 7m has the potential to be applied as an anti-browning agent.

Peng X, Hu X, Liu K, Gong D, Zhang G. Exploring inhibitory effect and mechanism of hesperetin-Cu (II) complex against protein glycation. Food Chem 2023; 416:135801. [PMID: 36870150 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.135801] [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: 08/12/2022] [Revised: 02/24/2023] [Accepted: 02/24/2023] [Indexed: 03/06/2023]
Abstract
Inhibition of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) formed in protein glycosylation is crucial for minimizing diabetic complications. Herein, the anti-glycation potential of hesperetin-Cu (II) complex was investigated. Hesperetin-Cu (II) complex strongly inhibited three stages glycosylation products in bovine serum albumin (BSA)-fructose model, especially for the inhibition of AGEs (88.45%), which was stronger than hesperetin (51.76%) and aminoguanidine (22.89%). Meanwhile, hesperetin-Cu (II) complex decreased the levels of BSA carbonylation and oxidation products. 182.50 µg/mL of hesperetin-Cu (II) complex inhibited 66.71% β-crosslinking structures of BSA, and scavenged 59.80% superoxide anions and 79.76% hydroxyl radicals. Moreover, after incubating with methylglyoxal for 24 h, hesperetin-Cu (II) complex removed 85.70% methylglyoxal. The mechanisms of protein antiglycation by hesperetin-Cu (II) complex may be through protecting structure, trapping methylglyoxal, scavenging free radicals and interacting with BSA. This study may contribute to the development of hesperetin-Cu (II) complex as a functional food additive against protein glycation.

Abstract
Penta-O-galloyl-β-d-glucose (PGG) was prepared from tannic acid methanolysis products based on HSCCC, and its protective effects and mechanism on the glucose-induced glycation were investigated for the first time. PGG was confirmed to exhibit strong anti-AGEs effects in bovine serum albumin (BSA)-glucose (Glu) and BSA-methylglyoxal (MGO) glycation systems. It was showed that PGG could inhibit the AGEs formation by blocking glycated intermediates (fructosamine and α-dicarbonyl compounds), eliminating radicals, and chelating metal-ions. In-depth mechanism analysis proved that PGG could prevent BSA from glycation by hindering the accumulation of amyloid fibrils, stabilizing the BSA secondary structures, and binding the partial glycation sites. Furthermore, PGG exhibited a prominent trapping capacities on the reactive intermediate MGO by generating PGG-mono-MGO adduct. This research indicated that PGG could be an effective agent to block Glu/MGO-triggered glycation and offered new insights into PGG as a functional ingredient in food materials for preventing diabetic syndrome.

Abstract
In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to the pharmacological efficacy of tannins. Tannic acid (TA), the simplest hydrolysable tannin that has been approved by the FDA as a safe food additive, is one of the most important components of these traditional medicines. Studies have shown that TA displays a wide range of pharmacological activities, such as anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, antitumor, cardioprotective, and anti-pathogenic effects. Here, we summarize the known pharmacological effects and associated mechanisms of TA. We focus on the effect and mechanism of TA in various animal models of inflammatory disease and organ, brain, and cardiovascular injury. Moreover, we discuss the possible molecular targets and signaling pathways of TA, in addition to the pharmacological effects of TA-based nanoparticles and TA in combination with chemotherapeutic drugs.

Abstract
This work focused on the leaves of Dittrichia viscosa, a plant used in Mediterranean folk medicine. Compared to water extract, the methanolic extract had higher antioxidant effects. Moreover, this extract showed potent in vitro inhibitory activity against α-amylase and α-glucosidase and showed an interesting antiglycation effect. Additionally, the evaluation of the cytotoxic activity of the methanolic extract against two human breast cancer cell lines, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-468, was very promising, with no cytotoxicity towards normal cells (peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). The antibacterial effect was also assessed and showed potent inhibitory activity against Proteus mirabilis and Bacillus subtilis. On the other hand, Dittrichia viscosa leaves were rich in macro-elements containing appropriate micro-elements and high levels of phenolics and flavonoids such as caffeic acid derivatives. Taken together, the results obtained in this study indicate that Dittrichia viscosa could constitute a valuable source of bioactive molecules and could be used either on the preventive side or for therapeutic applications without toxicity.

Abstract
Tyrosinase and α-glucosidase enzymes are known as promising target candidates for inhibitors to control unwanted pigmentation and type II diabetics mellitus. Therefore, twenty extracts as enzyme inhibitors were prepared from edible spices: nutmeg, mace, star anise, fenugreek, and coriander aiming to explore their antioxidant, antibrowning, and antidiabetic potential. Results confirmed that all extracts showed potent antioxidant activity ranging from IC50 = 0.14 ± 0.03 to 3.69 ± 0.37 μg/mL. In addition, all extracts exhibited excellent antityrosinase (IC50 = 1.16 ± 0.06 to 71.32 ± 4.63 μg/mL) and anti-α-glucosidase (IC504.76 ± 0.71 to 42.57 ± 2.13 μg/mL) activities outperforming the corresponding standards, hydroquinone, and acarbose, respectively. Among all extracts, star anise ethyl acetate (Star anise ETAC) was found most potent inhibitor for both tyrosinase and α-glucosidase enzymes and was further studied to explore the mechanism of enzyme inhibition. Kinetic analysis revealed its irreversible but mixed-type tyrosinase inhibition with preferentially competitive mode of action. However, it binds reversibly with α-glucosidase through competitive mode of action. Further, star anise ETAC extract showed concentration dependent and posttreatment time-dependent antibrowning effect on potato slices and antidiabetic effect on diabetic rabbits in vivo proposing it promising candidate for tyrosinase-rooted antibrowning and α-glucosidase-associated diabetes management for future studies.

Abstract
The prevention of postprandial hyperglycemia and diabetic complications is crucial for diabetes management. Inhibition of α-glucosidase to slow carbohydrate metabolism is a strategy to alleviate postprandial hyperglycemia. In addition, suppression of non-enzymatic glycation can diminish the advanced glycation end products and reduce the oxidative stress and inflammation, thereby preventing the diabetic complications. In this study, an anti-oxidative proteoglycan (named FYGL) extracted from Ganoderma lucidum was investigated in vitro for its inhibitory effect on α-glucosidase and non-enzymatic glycation using molecular kinetics, intrinsic fluorescence assay, and bovine serum albumin glycation models. The molecular kinetics and fluorescence assay revealed that FYGL decreases α-glucosidase activity by forming a FYGL-α-glucosidase complex. To evaluate the anti-glycation effect, fructose-glycated and methylglyoxal-glycated BSA models were analyzed by spectroscopic and SDS-PAGE methods. Results showed that FYGL inhibited the glycation at every stage and suppressed glycoxidation, possibly due to its anti-oxidative capacity and FYGL-BSA complex formation. Furthermore, we demonstrated in vivo that FYGL could alleviate postprandial hyperglycemia in db/db mice as well as AGE accumulation and vascular injury in diabetic rats. Overall, FYGL possesses anti-postprandial hyperglycemia and anti-glycation functions and would be potentially used in clinic for diabetes and related complication management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of diabetes mellitus worldwide has increased in recent decades. Maintaining the level of blood glucose is the most basic and important issue for diabetics. This study aimed to investigate the hypoglycemic activity of a combination of hypoglycemic peptide-enriched hydrolysates of Corbicula fluminea (ACH) and Chlorella sorokiniana (PCH). RESULTS Combined supplementation of ACH and PCH synergistically inhibited α-glucosidase and DPP4 activities in vitro. After 4 weeks of treatment with ACH and/or PCH, the plasma glucose concentration and insulin, homeostasis model assessment-estimated insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG) levels significantly decreased. The hypoglycemic peptides in ACH and PCH were purified and assayed for α-glucosidase and DPP4 activity. The hypoglycemic peptides in ACH and PCH effectively decreased α-glucosidase and DPP4 activities. In silico assays showed that these two peptide types have different docking poses, which determined their inhibitory effect against α-glucosidase and DPP4 activity. CONCLUSION Combined treatment with hypoglycemic peptide-enriched ACH and PCH could modulate blood glucose by synergistically inhibiting α-glucosidase and DPP4 activities. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a major predisposing factor for cardiovascular disease and mortality. α-Amylase and α-glucosidase enzymes are the rate-limiting steps for carbohydrate digestion. The inhibition of these two enzymes is clinically used for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. Here, in vitro study and machine learning models were employed for the chemical screening of inhibiting the activity of 31 plant samples on α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzymes. The results showed that the ethanolic twig extract of Pinus kesiya had the highest inhibitory activity against the α-amylase enzyme. The respective ethanolic extract of Croton oblongifolius stem, Parinari anamense twig, and Polyalthia evecta leaf showed high inhibitory activity against the α-glucosidase enzyme. The classification analysis revealed that the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of Thai indigenous plants was more predictive based on phytochemical constituents, compared with the α-amylase inhibitory activity (1.00 versus 0.97 accuracy score). The correlation loading plot revealed that flavonoids and alkaloids contributed to the α-amylase inhibitory activity, while flavonoids, tannins, and reducing sugars contributed to the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. In conclusion, the ethanolic extracts of P. kesiya, C. oblongifolius, P. anamense, and P. evecta have the potential for further chemical characterization and the development of anti-diabetic recipes.

Omeprazole inhibits α-glucosidase activity and the formation of nonenzymatic glycation products: Activity and mechanism. J Biosci Bioeng 2021; 133:110-118. [PMID: 34802943 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbiosc.2021.10.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2021] [Revised: 09/30/2021] [Accepted: 10/20/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
In this study, the inhibitory effect and mechanism of omeprazole on α-glucosidase and nonenzymatic glycation were investigated in vitro by using multi-spectroscopic methods and molecular docking. Enzyme kinetic results showed that omeprazole inhibited α-glucosidase in a reversible and noncompetitive manner (IC50= 0.595 ± 0.003 mM). The results from fluorescence quenching and thermomechanical analyses signified that omeprazole reduced the fluorescence intensity of α-glucosidase by forming an omeprazole-α-glucosidase complex primarily driven by hydrogen bonds. Molecular docking further confirmed that hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic forces were the major driving forces for omeprazole binding to α-glucosidase. The nonenzymatic glycation assays revealed that omeprazole had a moderate inhibition against the formation of fructosamine, dicarbonyl compounds, and advanced glycation end products (AGEs). This study provides a new inhibitor of both α-glucosidase and nonenzymatic glycation and provides a practicable candidate for treating diabetes and its complications.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are a group of complex compounds generated by nonenzymatic interactions between proteins and reducing sugars or lipids. AGEs accumulate in vivo and activate various signaling pathways closely related to the occurrence of various chronic metabolic diseases. In this paper, we describe the process through which AGEs are formed, the classification of AGEs, and biological effects of AGEs on human health. Most importantly, we review recent progress in natural compound-based AGE formation inhibitors. Major classes of natural inhibitors, including polyphenols, polysaccharides, terpenoids, vitamins and alkaloids, have been described. Their mechanisms of action have been summarized as scavenging free radicals, chelating metal ions, capturing active carbonyl compounds, protecting protein glycation sites, and lowering blood glucose levels. Although these natural compounds have good antiglycation activity, to date, they are not widely used in the clinic, likely because of their low content levels. However, these natural compounds and their molecular frameworks will play a valuable role in inspiring drug discovery.

Chem Biodivers 2021; 18:e2001030.

Abstract
The inhibition of α-glucosidase activity is a prospective approach to attenuate postprandial hyperglycemia in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Herein, the inhibition of α-glucosidase by three compounds T1 -T3 of Akebia trifoliata stem, namely hederagenin (T1 ), 3-epiakebonoic acid (T2 ), and arjunolic acid (T3 ) were investigated using enzyme kinetics and molecular docking analysis. The three triterpenoids exhibited excellent inhibitory activities against α-glucosidase. T1 -T3 showed the strongest inhibition with IC50 values of 42.1±5.4, 19.6±3.2, and 11.2±2.3 μM, respectively, compared to the acarbose positive control (IC50 =106.3±8.2). Enzyme inhibition kinetics showed that triterpenoids T1 -T3 demonstrated competitive, mixed, and noncompetitive-type inhibition against α-glucosidase, respectively. The inhibition constant (Ki ) values were 21.21, 7.70, and 3.18 μM, respectively. Docking analysis determined that the interaction of ligands T1 -T3 and α-glucosidase was mainly forced by hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions, which could result in improved binding to the active site of the target enzyme. The insulin resistant (IR)-HepG2 cell model used in this study (HepG2 cells exposed to 10-7 M insulin for 24 h) and glucose uptake assays showed that compounds T1 -T3 had no cytotoxicity with concentrations ranging from 6.25 to 25 μM and displayed significant stimulation of glucose uptake in IR-HepG2 cells. Thus, triterpenoids T1 -T3 showed dual therapeutic effects of α-glucosidase inhibition and glucose uptake stimulation and could be used as potential medicinal resources to investigate new antidiabetic agents for the prevention or treatment of diabetes.

Abstract
In this study, the antiglycation potential and mechanisms of vitexin were explored in vitro by multispectroscopy, microscope imaging, high-resolution mass spectrometry, and computational simulations. Vitexin was found to show much stronger antiglycation effects than aminoguanidine. The inhibition against the fluorescent advanced glycation end products was more than 80% at 500 μM vitexin in both bovine serum albumin (BSA)-fructose and BSA-methylglyoxal (MGO) models. Treated with 100 and 200 μM vitexin for 24 h, the contents of MGO were reduced to 4.97 and 0.2%, respectively, and only one vitexin-mono-MGO adduct was formed. LC-Orbitrap-MS/MS analysis showed that vitexin altered the glycated sites and reduced the glycation degree of some sites. The mechanisms of vitexin against protein glycation were mainly through BSA structural protection, MGO trapping, and alteration of glycation sites induced by interaction with BSA. These findings provided valuable information about the functional development of vitexin as a potential antiglycation agent.

Abstract
Inhibition of α-glucosidase as well as non-enzymatic glycation is thought as an effective method for treating type-2 diabetes mellitus. In this study, we investigated the inhibitory potential and mechanism of 4-hexylresorcinol against α-glucosidase and non-enzymatic glycation by using multispectroscopic analyses and molecular docking. The results of enzyme kinetics showed that 4-hexylresorcinol reversibly inhibited α-glucosidase activity in a noncompetitive way. Fluorescence quenching then revealed that it increased the hydrophobicity of α-glucosidase and changed the conformation of the enzyme by forming the α-glucosidase-hexylresorcinol complex. Thermodynamic analysis and molecular docking further demonstrated that the inhibition of 4-hexylresorcinol on the α-glucosidase was mainly dependent on hydrogen bond and hydrophobic interaction. Moreover, the 4-hexylresorcinol moderately inhibited the formation of fructosamine, and strongly suppressed the generation of α-dicarbonyl compounds and advanced glycation end products (AGEs). The interaction between 4-hexylresorcinol and bovine serum albumin was mainly driven by hydrophobic interaction. This study showed a novel inhibitor of α-glucosidase as well as non-enzymatic glycation, and provided a drug candidate for the prevention and treatment of type-2 diabetes.

Abstract
We investigated the cytoprotective role of the dietary polyphenols on putative damage induced by Amadori adducts in Human Peritoneal Mesothelial Cells (HPMCs). Increased accumulation of early products of non-enzymatic protein glycation-Amadori adducts-in the peritoneal dialysis fluid due to their high glucose, induces severe damage in mesothelial cells during peritoneal dialysis. Dietary polyphenols reportedly have numerous health benefits in various diseases and have been used as an efficient antioxidant in the context of several oxidative stress-related pathologies. HPMCs isolated from different patients were exposed to Amadori adducts (highly glycated haemoglobin, at physiological concentrations), and subsequently treated with several polyphenols, mostly presented in our Mediterranean diet. We studied several Amadori-induced effects in pro-apoptotic and oxidative stress markers, as well as the expression of several pro-inflammatory genes (nuclear factor-kappaB, NF-kB; inducible Nitric Oxide synthetase, iNOS), different caspase-activities, level of P53 protein or production of different reactive oxygen species in the presence of different polyphenols. In fact, cytoprotective agents such as dietary polyphenols may represent an alternate approach to protect mesothelial cells from the cytotoxicity of Amadori adducts. The interference with the Amadori adducts-triggered mechanisms could represent a therapeutic tool to reduce complications associated with peritoneal dialysis in the peritoneum, helping to maintain peritoneal membrane function longer in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis.
