Abstract
The effects of long-term dietary supplementation with sandalwood (Santalum album L.) essential oil (SEO) was investigated on hemato-biochemical biomarkers, immune status, antioxidant capacity, and resistance against Staphylococcus aureus in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Five groups (with four replicates) of O. niloticus (12.60 ± 0.20 g) were fed diets supplemented with SEO at doses of 0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 4.0 mL/kg diet for 60 days. Results indicated a substantial increase in blood protein levels and lower serum cholesterol, cortisol, glucose, urea, creatinine levels and, transaminase activities of fish fed a 2.0-mL SEO/kg diet. Serum lysozyme activity, nitric oxide, complement-3 levels, and phagocytic activity were significantly improved in O. niloticus after 60 days of feeding SEO-supplemented diets. Dietary SEO at level of 2.0-mL SEO/kg diet increased the activities of SOD, CAT, and GPx, and decreased MDA levels in liver homogenate. In addition, dietary 2.0-mL SEO/kg diet significantly upregulated antioxidant genes expression (CAT, SOD, GPx, GST, and GSR) with downregulation of apoptotic genes (HSP70, TLR2, caspase-3, and PCNA) in the liver. Furthermore, SEO-enriched diets significantly down-regulated pro-inflammatory (TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-8) and up-regulated anti-inflammatory cytokine genes (TFG-β and IL-10) in the spleen. Moreover, SEO fortification increased the relative percentage of survival against S. aureus challenge and regulated immune-antioxidant genes in the spleen after the challenge. Overall, the results revealed that long-term using SEO might strengthen the physiological performance, hepatic oxidant/antioxidant balance, innate immune response, and resistance of O. niloticus against bacterial infections.

Formulation of a Novel Hesperetin-Loaded Nanoemulsion and Its Promising Effect on Osteogenesis. Pharmaceutics 2024; 16:698. [PMID: 38931821 PMCID: PMC11206411 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics16060698] [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: 04/19/2024] [Revised: 05/16/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Alternative therapies associating natural products and nanobiotechnology show new perspectives on controlled drug release. In this context, nanoemulsions (NEs) present promising results for their structural design and properties. Hesperetin (HT), a flavonoid mainly found in citrus fruits, presents highlighted bone benefits. In this context, we developed a hesperetin-loaded nanoemulsion (HT-NE) by sonication method and characterized it by dynamic light scattering, analyzing its encapsulation efficiency, and cumulative release. The biocompatibility in human osteoblasts Saos-2-like was evaluated by the cytotoxicity assay and IC50. Then, the effects of the HT-NE on osteogenesis were evaluated by the cellular proliferation, calcium nodule formation, bone regulators gene expression, collagen quantification, and alkaline phosphatase activity. The results showed that the formulation presented ideal values of droplet size, polydispersity index, and zeta potential, and the encapsulation efficiency was 74.07 ± 5.33%, showing a gradual and controlled release. Finally, HT-NE was shown to be biocompatible and increased cellular proliferation, and calcium nodule formation, regulated the expression of Runx2, ALPL, and TGF-β genes, and increased the collagen formation and alkaline phosphatase activity. Therefore, the formulation of this NE encapsulated the HT appropriately, allowing the increasing of its effects on mechanisms to improve or accelerate the osteogenesis process.

Abstract
Malaria poses a global threat to human health, with millions of cases and thousands of deaths each year, mainly affecting developing countries in tropical and subtropical regions. Malaria's causative agent is Plasmodium species, generally transmitted in the hematophagous act of female Anopheles sp. mosquitoes. The main approaches to fighting malaria are eliminating the parasite through drug treatments and preventing transmission with vector control. However, vector and parasite resistance to current strategies set a challenge. In response to the loss of drug efficacy and the environmental impact of pesticides, the focus shifted to the search for biocompatible products that could be antimalarial. Plant derivatives have a millennial application in traditional medicine, including the treatment of malaria, and show toxic effects towards the parasite and the mosquito, aside from being accessible and affordable. Its disadvantage lies in the type of administration because green chemical compounds rapidly degrade. The nanoformulation of these compounds can improve bioavailability, solubility, and efficacy. Thus, the nanotechnology-based development of plant products represents a relevant tool in the fight against malaria. We aim to review the effects of nanoparticles synthesized with plant extracts on Anopheles and Plasmodium while outlining the nanotechnology green synthesis and current malaria prevention strategies.

Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 242:124843. [PMID: 37182620 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.124843] [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: 01/29/2023] [Revised: 03/23/2023] [Accepted: 05/09/2023] [Indexed: 05/16/2023]
Abstract
Recently, mushroom polysaccharides have been explored to attribute to vital biologically important functions, and several extraction techniques can be employed, therefore, polysaccharides were extracted from the edible mushroom Calocybe indica to explore its functionality. Multiple enzymes viz., cellulase, pectinase, and protease (1:1:1) at temperature 47 °C and pH 4.64 with an extraction time of 2 h yielded 7.24 % polysaccharide content. The thermograph curve of polysaccharides showed two-stage decomposition at a different temperature range and decomposition of polysaccharides initiated with an onset temperature of 226.77 °C and a maximum peak at 248.90 °C. Hydrodistillation processed Eucalyptus globulus leaf oil was characterized using the chromatography technique and eucalyptol, p-cymene, Γ-terpinene, 4-epi-cubebol, spathulenol, viridiflorol, and p-mentha-1,5-dien-8-ol was observed as major components. As well, we formulated nanoemulsion using mushroom polysaccharide and eucalyptus leaf oil with 140.8 nm and evaluated synergistic antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity. MIC and MBC values for Pseudomonas aeruginosa, E. coli, and S. typhi were 12.50-3.125 and 6.25-1.56, and for S. aureus were 6.25, 6.25, 3.125, and 3.125, 3.125, 1.56 and for C. albicans the values were 12.50,12.50, 6.250 and 6.25,6.25, and 3.125 μl/mL respectively. The polysaccharides, essential oil, and nanoemulsion showed remarkable antibiofilm activity against S.aureus with inhibition of 57.42 ± 0.19, 59.62 ± 0.15, and 69.34 ± 0.19 %, while E. coli showed the least antibiofilm activity. However, all three tested samples showed significant (p < 0.05) differences against tested pathogenic microorganisms with inhibition of biofilm formation. Therefore, it could be inferred that the synergistic properties of essential oils with mushroom polysaccharides are a promising strategy to enhance antimicrobial efficacy and control foodborne pathogens.
