Abstract
Flavonoids, a large group of secondary plant phenolic metabolites, are important natural antioxidants and regulators of cellular redox balance. The present study addressed evaluation of the electronic properties of some flavonoids belonging to different classes such as quercetin (flavonols), catechin (flavanols), and naringenin (flavanones) and their interactions with oxidants in model systems of DPPH reduction, flavonoid autoxidation, and chlorination. According to our ab initio calculations, the high net negative excess charges of the C rings and the small positive excess charges of the B rings of quercetin, catechin, and naringenin make these parts of flavonoid molecules attractive for electrophilic attack. The 3′-OH group of the B ring of quercetin has the highest excess negative charge and the lowest energy of hydrogen atom abstraction for the flavonoids studied. The apparent reaction rate constants (s−1, 20 °C) and the activation energies (kJ/mol) of DPPH reduction were 0.34 ± 0.06 and 23.0 ± 2.5 in the case of quercetin, 0.09 ± 0.02 and 32.5 ± 2.5 in the case of catechin, respectively. The stoichiometry of the DPPH–flavonoid reaction was 1:1. The activation energies (kJ/mol) of quercetin and catechin autoxidations were 50.8 ± 6.1 and 58.1 ± 7.2, respectively. Naringenin was not oxidized by the DPPH radical and air oxygen (autoxidation) and the flavonoids studied effectively prevented HOCl-induced hemolysis due to direct scavenging of hypochlorous acid (flavonoid chlorination). The best antioxidant quercetin had the highest value of HOMO energy, a planar structure and optimal electron orbital delocalization on all the phenolic rings due to the C2=C3 double bond in the C ring (absent in catechin and naringenin).

Biomed Pharmacother 2021; 138:111511. [PMID: 33744757 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2021.111511] [Citation(s) in RCA: 55] [Impact Index Per Article: 18.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2021] [Revised: 03/07/2021] [Accepted: 03/11/2021] [Indexed: 01/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Flavonoids are natural plant-derived dietary bioactive compounds having a substantial impact on human health. Morin hydrate is a bioflavonoid mainly obtained from fruits, stem, and leaves of Moraceae family members' plants. Plenty of evidences supported that morin hydrate exerts its beneficial effects against various chronic and life-threatening degenerative diseases. Our current article discloses the recent advances that have been studied to explore the biological/pharmacological properties and molecular mechanisms to better understand the beneficial and multiple health benefits of morin hydrate. Indeed, Morin hydrate exerts free radical scavenging, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancerous, anti-microbial, antidiabetic, anti-arthritis, cardioprotective, neuroprotective, nephroprotective, and hepatoprotective effects. Moreover, morin hydrate exhibits its pharmacological activities by modulating various cellular signaling pathways such as Nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-қB), Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), Janus kinases/ Signal transducer and activator of transcription proteins (JAKs/STATs), Kelch-like ECH-associated protein1/Nuclear erythroid-2-related factor (Keap1/Nrf2), Endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis, Wnt/β-catenin, and Mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR). Most importantly, morin hydrate has the potential to modulate a variety of biological networks. Therefore, it can be predicted that this therapeutically potent compound could serve as a dietary agent for the expansion of human health and might be helpful for the development of the novel drug in the future. However, due to the lack of clinical trials, special human clinical trials are needed to address the effects of morin hydrate on various life-threatening disparities to recommend morin and/or morin-rich foods with other foods or bioactive dietary components, as well as dose-response interaction and safety profile.

Flavonoids modulate liposomal membrane structure, regulate mitochondrial membrane permeability and prevent erythrocyte oxidative damage. BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA-BIOMEMBRANES 2020; 1862:183442. [PMID: 32814117 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbamem.2020.183442] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2020] [Revised: 07/15/2020] [Accepted: 08/10/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
In the present work, we investigated the interaction of flavonoids (quercetin, naringenin and catechin) with cellular and artificial membranes. The flavonoids considerably inhibited membrane lipid peroxidation in rat erythrocytes treated with tert-butyl hydroperoxide (700 μM), and the IC50 values for prevention of this process were equal to 9.7 ± 0.8 μM, 8.8 ± 0.7 μM, and 37.8 ± 4.4 μM in the case of quercetin, catechin and naringenin, respectively, and slightly decreased glutathione oxidation. In isolated rat liver mitochondria, quercetin, catechin and naringenin (10-50 μM) dose-dependently increased the sensitivity to Ca2+ ions - induced mitochondrial permeability transition. Using the probes TMA-DPH and DPH we showed that quercetin rather than catechin and naringenin strongly decreased the microfluidity of the 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine liposomal membrane bilayer at different depths. On the contrary, using the probe Laurdan we observed that naringenin transfer the bilayer to a more ordered state, whereas quercetin dose-dependently decreased the order of lipid molecule packing and increased hydration in the region of polar head groups. The incorporation of the flavonoids, quercetin and naringenin and not catechin, into the liposomes induced an increase in the zeta potential of the membrane and enlarged the area of the bilayer as well as lowered the temperature and the enthalpy of the membrane phase transition. The effects of the flavonoids were connected with modification of membrane fluidity, packing, stability, electrokinetic properties, size and permeability, prevention of oxidative stress, which depended on the nature of the flavonoid molecule and the nature of the membrane.
