Abstract
4-Terpineol (4-TA), a typical monocyclic monoterpene essential oil compound with important biological activities, poor stability and solubility severely hamper its biological activities. To date, β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) encapsulating essential oil to form inclusion complexes (ICs) is considered as a satisfactory treatment. Nevertheless, the detailed inclusion mechanism of β-CD for 4-TA especially the behavior of 4-TA during inclusion formation have not available yet. Herein, 4-TA/β-CD ICs were successfully synthesized by the co-precipitation method, and hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions played a key role in the formation of ICs, and the isopropyl of 4-TA entered the cavity through the wide rim of β-CD. Moreover, the release profile demonstrated that high RH (85 % and 99 %) triggered the release of TA from ICs. This study suggests the great potential of cyclodextrin inclusion strategy for improving the stability and sustained release of 4-TA in food preservation application.

Antioxidant activity of an inclusion complex between rutin and β-cyclodextrin: experimental and quantum chemical studies. RSC Adv 2024; 14:18330-18342. [PMID: 38854829 PMCID: PMC11157499 DOI: 10.1039/d4ra02307b] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/11/2024] Open
Abstract
This study aims to synthesize a guest-host complex derived from rutin (Rut) and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) (denoted as [Rut⊂β-CD]). The obtained substance was characterized by the FT-IR and DSC methods, signifying the formation of an inclusion complex between Rut and β-CD. Complex formation increased the antioxidant activity of rutin corresponding to the decrease of EC50 values from 1.547 × 10-5 mol L-1 to 1.227 × 10-5 mol L-1 according to the DPPH free radical scavenging test. The rutin-β-CD interaction energies were calculated in the vacuum and various solvents (e.g., water, ethanol, and dimethylsulfoxide) utilizing an accurate and broadly parametrized self-consistent tight-binding quantum chemical method (GFN2-xTB). The calculation results reveal the influence of solvent on the structural formation of the rutin-β-CD complex. In both the vacuum and aqueous solution, rutin can enter into the small-sized empty cavity of β-CD, albeit through different terminals, resulting in distinct preferential structures. The presence of organic solvents appears to reduce the interaction between rutin and β-CD, with the interaction strength following the order: water > ethanol > dimethyl sulfoxide.

Enhancing the Biopharmacological Characteristics of Asperosaponin VI: Unveiling Dynamic Self-Assembly Phase Transitions in the Gastrointestinal Environment. Int J Nanomedicine 2023; 18:7335-7358. [PMID: 38084126 PMCID: PMC10710790 DOI: 10.2147/ijn.s436372] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose Asperosaponin VI (ASP VI) as an active ingredient of Dipsacus asperoides, which has a wide range of biological and pharmacological activity. However, its development and application are restricted due to the poor gastrointestinal permeability and oral bioavailability. This investigation aims to reveal the influence of the self-assembled structure by the interaction between ASP VI and endogenous components NaTC and/or DOPC in the gastrointestinal environment on its biopharmaceutical properties, and novelty elucidated the molecular mechanism for the formation of self-assembled nanomicelles. Methods This change in phase state in gastrointestinal fluids is characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). UPLC-Q-TOF-MS was used to analyze the composition of phase components and the exposure of nanomicelles in vivo. Molecular dynamics simulation (MDS) was applied to preliminarily elucidate the self-assembly mechanism of ASP VI in the gastrointestinal environment. Furthermore, theS8 promoting absorption mechanism of nanomicelles were investigated through in vivo pharmacokinetic experiments, parallel artificial membrane permeability assay (PAMPA), quadruple single-pass intestinal perfusion in rats, and Caco-2 cell monolayer model. Results We demonstrated that the ASP VI could spontaneously form dynamic self-assembled structures with sodium taurocholate (NaTC) and dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DOPC) during gastrointestinal solubilization, which promoted the gastrointestinal absorption and permeability of ASP VI and increased its exposure in vivo, thus improving the biopharmacological characteristics of ASP VI. Moreover, ASP VI-NaTC-DOPC-self-assembled nanostructures (ASP VI-NaTC-DOPC-SAN) manifested higher cellular uptake in Caco-2 cells as evidenced by flow cytometry and confocal microscopy, and this study also preliminarily revealed the mechanism of self-assembly formation of ASP VI with endogenous components NaTC and DOPC driven by electrostatic and hydrogen bonding interactions. Conclusion This study provides evidence that the dynamic self-assembled phase transition may play a key role in improving the biopharmacological characteristics of insoluble or low permeability active ingredients during the gastrointestinal dissolution of Chinese medicines.

Abstract
Guest molecules containing chromophore groups encapsulated by β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) generate circular dichroism (CD) signals, which enables a preliminary prediction of their binding modes. However, the accurate determination of the representative binding conformation (RC) remains a challenging task due to the complex conformational space of these host-guest systems. Here, we combine a molecular dynamics/quantum mechanics/continuum solvent model (MD/QM/CSM) with induced circular dichroism (ICD) data (N. L. Pacioni, A. B. Pierini and A. V. Veglia, Spectrochim. Acta A Mol. Biomol. Spectrosc., 2013, 103, 319-324.) to explore the binding mechanism of β-CD with four N-methylcarbamate molecules: promecarb (PC), bendiocarb (BC), carbaryl (CY) and carbofuran (CF). In aqueous solution, their stability decreases as: PC > BC > CY > CF. Comparing the ECD spectra computed from TD-DFT with the ICD data can help eliminate many common binding configurations and identify the RC. The host-guest binding affinities (BAs) estimated using a ONIOM2(B971:PM6)/SMD model reproduce the measured binding trend, reveal the competition between the non-covalent interaction and solvent effect and explain the large difference in their binding modes. We also examine the fluctuations in the computed BA using similar structures.

Leaf Polyphenolic Extracts Microencapsulated by Spray Drying. Foods 2023; 12:foods12091923. [PMID: 37174461 PMCID: PMC10177897 DOI: 10.3390/foods12091923] [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: 04/19/2023] [Revised: 05/03/2023] [Accepted: 05/04/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Laurel (Laurus nobilis L.) leaves are a rich source of polyphenols with the potential for use in functional foods, where the main obstacle is their low stability and bioavailability, which can be improved by spray drying (SD). This research examined the influence of SD parameters, including inlet temperature (120, 150, and 180 °C), carrier type (β-cyclodextrin (β-CD); β-CD + maltodextrin (MD) 50:50; β-CD + gum arabic (GA) 50:50), and sample:carrier ratio (1:1, 1:2 and 1:3) on the physicochemical properties, encapsulation efficiency, polyphenolic profile, antioxidant capacity and bioaccessibility of laurel leaf polyphenols. The highest encapsulation efficiency was achieved at a sample:carrier ratio 1:2 and the temperature of 180 °C by using either of the applied carriers. However, the application of β-CD + MD 50:50 ensured optimal solubility (55.10%), hygroscopicity (15.32%), and antioxidant capacity (ORAC 157.92 μmol Trolox equivalents per g of powder), while optimal moisture content (3.22%) was determined only by temperature, demanding conditions above 150 °C. A total of 29 polyphenols (dominantly flavonols) were identified in the obtained powders. SD encapsulation increased the bioaccessibility of laurel flavonols in comparison to the non-encapsulated extract by ~50% in the gastric and ~10% in the intestinal phase, especially for those powders produced with carrier mixtures.

Abstract
Molecular simulation methods, such as molecular docking, molecular dynamic (MD) simulation, and quantum chemical (QC) calculation, have become popular as characterization and/or virtual screening tools because they can visually display interaction details that in vitro experiments can not capture and quickly screen bioactive compounds from large databases with millions of molecules. Currently, interdisciplinary research has expanded molecular simulation technology from computer aided drug design (CADD) to food science. More food scientists are supporting their hypotheses/results with this technology. To understand better the use of molecular simulation methods, it is necessary to systematically summarize the latest applications and usage trends of molecular simulation methods in the research field of food science. However, this type of review article is rare. To bridge this gap, we have comprehensively summarized the principle, combination usage, and application of molecular simulation methods in food science. We also analyzed the limitations and future trends and offered valuable strategies with the latest technologies to help food scientists use molecular simulation methods.

Abstract
Cyclodextrins (CDs) have a hollow structure with a hydrophobic interior and hydrophilic exterior. Forming inclusion complexes with CDs will maximize the bioavailability of natural compounds and enable active components to be processed into functional foods, medicines, additives, and so forth. However, experimental methods cannot explain CD-guest binding at the atomic level. Different models have been recently developed to simulate the interaction between CDs and guests to study the binding conformation and analyze noncovalent forces. This review paper summarizes modeling methods of CD-natural compound complexes. The methods include quantitative structure-activity relationships, molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, and quantum-chemical calculations. The applications of these methods to enhance the solubility and bioactivities of guest molecules, assist material transportation, and promote compound extraction are also discussed. The purpose of this review is to explore interaction mechanisms of CDs and guests and to help expand new applications of CDs.
