Sulaimani N, Houghton MJ, Bonham MP, Williamson G. Effects of (Poly)phenols on Circadian Clock Gene-Mediated Metabolic Homeostasis in Cultured Mammalian Cells: A Scoping Review. Adv Nutr 2024; 15:100232. [PMID: 38648895 PMCID: PMC11107464 DOI: 10.1016/j.advnut.2024.100232] [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: 12/07/2023] [Revised: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/16/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Circadian clocks regulate metabolic homeostasis. Disruption to our circadian clocks, by lifestyle behaviors such as timing of eating and sleeping, has been linked to increased rates of metabolic disorders. There is now considerable evidence that selected dietary (poly)phenols, including flavonoids, phenolic acids and tannins, may modulate metabolic and circadian processes. This review evaluates the effects of (poly)phenols on circadian clock genes and linked metabolic homeostasis in vitro, and potential mechanisms of action, by critically evaluating the literature on mammalian cells. A systematic search was conducted to ensure full coverage of the literature and identified 43 relevant studies addressing the effects of (poly)phenols on cellular circadian processes. Nobiletin and tangeretin, found in citrus, (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate from green tea, urolithin A, a gut microbial metabolite from ellagitannins in fruit, curcumin, bavachalcone, cinnamic acid, and resveratrol at low micromolar concentrations all affect circadian molecular processes in multiple types of synchronized cells. Nobiletin emerges as a putative retinoic acid-related orphan receptor (RORα/γ) agonist, leading to induction of the circadian regulator brain and muscle ARNT-like 1 (BMAL1), and increased period circadian regulator 2 (PER2) amplitude and period. These effects are clear despite substantial variations in the protocols employed, and this review suggests a methodological framework to help future study design in this emerging area of research.

Qin Y, Yang J, Li H, Li J. Recent advances in the therapeutic potential of nobiletin against respiratory diseases. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 128:155506. [PMID: 38522319 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2024.155506] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2023] [Revised: 02/04/2024] [Accepted: 02/28/2024] [Indexed: 03/26/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Nobiletin is a natural polymethoxylated flavonoid widely present in citrus fruit peels. It has been demonstrated to exert the effects of anti-tumor, anti-inflammation, anti-oxidative, anti-apoptotic and improve cardiovascular function. Increasing evidences suggest that nobiletin plays an important role in respiratory diseases (RDs) treatment. OBJECTIVE This review aimed to investigate the therapeutic potential of nobiletin against RDs, such as lung cancer, COPD, pulmonary fibrosis, asthma, pulmonary infection, acute lung injury, coronavirus disease 2019, and pulmonary arterial hypertension. METHODS We retrieved extensive literature of relevant literatures in English until June 26, 2023 from the database of PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases. The keywords of "nobiletin and lung", "nobiletin and respiratory disease", "nobiletin and chronic respiratory diseases", "nobiletin and metabolites", "nobiletin and pharmacokinetics", "nobiletin and toxicity" were searched in pairs. A total of 298 literatures were retrieved from the above database. After excluding the duplicates and reviews, 53 were included in the current review. RESULTS We found that the therapeutic mechanisms are based on different signaling pathways. Firstly, nobiletin inhibited the proliferation and suppressed the invasion and migration of cancer cells by regulating the related pathway or key target, like Bcl-2, PD-L1, PARP, and Akt/GSK3β/β-catenin in lung cancer treatment. Secondly, nobiletin treats COPD and ALI by targeting classical signaling pathway mediating inflammation. Besides, the available findings show that nobiletin exerts the effect of PF treatment via regulating mTOR pathway. CONCLUSIONS With the wide range of pharmacological activities, high efficiency and low toxicity, nobiletin can be used as a potential agent for preventing and treating RDs. These findings will contribute to further research on the molecular mechanisms of nobiletin and facilitate in-depth studies on nobiletin at both preclinical and clinical levels for the treatment of RDs.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is currently the third leading cancer and commonly develops from chronic intestinal inflammation. A strong association was found between gut microbiota and intestinal inflammation and carcinogenic risk. Flavonoids, which are abundant in vegetables and fruits, can inhibit inflammation, regulate gut microbiota, protect gut barrier integrity, and modulate immune cell function, thereby attenuating colitis and preventing carcinogenesis. Upon digestion, about 90% of flavonoids are transported to the colon without being absorbed in the small intestine. This phenomenon increases the abundance of beneficial bacteria and enhances the production of short-chain fatty acids. The gut microbe further metabolizes these flavonoids. Interestingly, some metabolites of flavonoids play crucial roles in anti-inflammation and anti-tumor effects. This review summarizes the modulatory effect of flavonoids on gut microbiota and their metabolism by intestinal microbe under disease conditions, including inflammatory bowel disease, colitis-associated cancer (CAC), and CRC. We focus on dietary flavonoids and microbial interactions in intestinal mucosal barriers as well as intestinal immune cells. Results provide novel insights to better understand the crosstalk between dietary flavonoids and gut microbiota and support the standpoint that dietary flavonoids prevent intestinal inflammation and carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Nobiletin (NOB) is a flavonoid derived from citrus peel that has potential as an alternative treatment for liver disease. Liver disease is a primary health concern globally, and there is an urgent need for effective drugs. This review summarizes the pharmacological characteristics of NOB and current in vitro and in vivo studies investigating the preventive and therapeutic effects of NOB on liver diseases and its potential mechanisms. The findings suggest that NOB has promising therapeutic potential in liver diseases. It improves liver function, reduces inflammation and oxidative stress, remodels gut microflora, ameliorates hepatocellular necrosis, steatosis, and insulin resistance, and modulates biorhythms. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), nuclear transcription factor kappa (NF-κB), AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α(PPAR-α), extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), protein kinase B (AKT), toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and transcription factor EB (TFEB) signaling pathways are important molecular targets for NOB to ameliorate liver diseases. In conclusion, NOB may be a promising drug candidate for treating liver disease and can accelerate its application from the laboratory to the clinic. However, more high-quality clinical trials are required to validate its efficacy and identify its molecular mechanisms and targets.

Abstract
Bufei Jianpi granule (BJG) is clinically effective for treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). At present, there is no report regarding the drug metabolism of BJG in vivo. This work developed an ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with triple quadrupole mass spectrometry method with high accuracy and sensitivity to determine drug metabolism of this compound in vivo. After continuous administration of BJG, the concentrations of 10 components in rat plasma, namely betaine, peimine, peiminine, astragaloside A, sinensetin, nobiletin, naringin, calycosin, formononetin, and magnolol, were determined at different time points. Meanwhile, the pharmacokinetic parameters and metabolic rules of these 10 components were evaluated: Cmax , 8.624-574.645 ng/mL; Tmax , 0.250-8.667 h; AUC0-t , 17.640-8947.393 ng h/mL; T1/2 , 3.405-66.014 h; mean residence time (MRT), 6.893-11.223 h. All these components possessed anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and other biological activities to varying degrees, contributing to improving lung function, mitigating pneumonia and pulmonary fibrosis, and preventing and treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Exploring the pharmacokinetic parameters and the laws of chemical components in BJG forms the scientific basis for applying the compound clinically and identifying quality markers for the control of the compound.

Abstract
Many bioactive nutraceuticals naturally occurring in food materials possess beneficial biological activities, while their use as functional supplements is subjected to hydrophobicity and crystallinity. Currently, inhibiting crystallization for such nutrients is of immense scientific interest. Here, we exploited diverse structural polyphenols as potential inhibitors for restraining Nobiletin crystallization. Specifically, the crystallization transition process could be influenced by the polyphenol gallol density, Nobiletin supersaturation (1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 mM), temperature (4, 10, 15, 25 and 37 ℃), and pH (3.5, 4, 4.5, 5), important factors for regulating the binding attachment and interactions. The optimized samples could be guided by NT100 lied in 4 ℃ at pH 4. Besides, the main assembly driving force was hydrogen-bonding cooperated with π-π stacking and electrostatic interaction, leading to a Nobiletin/TA combination ratio of ∼ 3:1. Our findings proposed an innovative synergistic strategy for inhibiting crystallization and broaden potential applications of polyphenol-based materials in advanced biological fields.

Abstract
Citrus peel, as an effective component of citrus by-products, contains a large number of natural active components, including pectin, vitamins, dietary fiber, essential oil, phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and so on. With the development of the circular economy, citrus peel has attracted extensive concern in the food industry. The exploitation of citrus peel would assist in excavating potential properties and alleviating the environmental burden. Polymethoxyflavones (PMFs) exist almost in citrus peel, which have remarkable biological activities including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and anti-obesity. Therefore, PMFs from citrus peel have the potential to develop as dietary supplements in the near future. Collectively, it is essential to take action to optimize the extraction conditions of PMFs and make the most of the extracts. This review mainly compiles several extraction methods and bioactivities of PMFs from citrus peel and introduces different applications including food processing, pharmaceutical industry, and plant rhizosphere to develop better utilization of citrus PMFs.

Abstract
Demethylated nobiletins (DMNs), which are generally recognized as the metabolites of orally administered nobiletin, are widely investigated. However, studies related to 8-demethylated-nobiletin, 7-demethylated-nobiletin (7DMN), and 6-demethylated-nobiletin (6DMN) are limited due to the lack of a synthesis method. In this study, a strain of microbe able to metabolize nobiletin was isolated from aged orange peel. Internal transcribed spacers (ITS) rRNA sequencing analysis showed it belonged to the yeast family, Filobasidium magnum specie. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), HPLC-MS, and 13C NMR results proved that the metabolites were 7DMN and 6DMN. Growth curves of the isolated yeast were studied at different temperatures, media pH, NaCl, and glucose concentrations. Meanwhile, factors that influence the demethylation efficiencies were also investigated. This study lays the groundwork for the investigation of the biological functions of these two compounds and opens a new window for further research of the metabolic fate of nobiletin in the human body.

Abstract
PURPOSE 5'-methoxynobiletin (5'-MeONB), a polymethoxyflavone isolated from A. conyzoides, has shown anti-inflammatory property. Nevertheless, the antinociceptive activity and pre-clinical pharmacokinetics (PK) characteristics of 5'-MeONB remain unknown. Considering the anti-inflammatory potential of the 5'-MeONB, this study aimed to investigate the pre-clinical PK behavior of 5'-MeONB, as well as its time course antinociceptive activity. METHODS 5'-MeONB plasma concentrations were determined in Wistar rats after intravenous (i.v.) (10 mg/kg) and oral (50 mg/kg) administration, and in Swiss mice after oral administration (100 mg/kg). Plasma samples were deproteinization and 5'-MeONB quantified by a validated UPLC-MS method. Additionally, the antinociceptive activity of 5'-MeONB was evaluated after 15, 30, 60, 180 and 360 min following oral administration on the acute nocifensive behavior of mice induced by formalin. RESULTS 5'-MeONB rats and mice plasma concentration-time profiles were best one-compartment model. After i.v. administration to rats, a short half-life, a high clearance and moderate volume of distribution at steady state were observed. Similar results were obtained after oral administration. The oral bioavailability ranged from 8 to 11%. Additionally, 5'-MeONB exhibited antinociceptive activity in both formalin phases, especially in the inflammatory phase of the model, inhibiting 68% and 91% of neurogenic and inflammatory responses, respectively, after 30 min of oral administration. CONCLUSIONS The results described here provide novel insights on 5'-MeONB pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic effect, serving as support for future studies to confirm this compound as anti-nociceptive and anti-inflammatory effective agent.

Abstract
Sour orange (Citrus aurantium L.) is one of the biological sources of polymethoxyflavones (PMFs), which are often used to deal with gastrointestinal diseases. The intestine is highly sensitive to irradiation damage. However, limited certain cures have been released for irradiation-induced gastrointestinal injury, and the potentials of sour orange PMFs as radio-resistance agents have not been fully discussed yet. The present study aims to (1) investigate the PMF components in 12 sour orange cultivars, (2) determine the protective effects of PMFs on irradiation-induced intestinal injury by treating mice that received 12 Gy abdominal irradiation with different doses of PMFs and observing the changes in organ indexes and pathological sections and (3) test cytotoxicity of PMFs by CCK-8 method. The results showed that sour orange PMFs appeared to have high intraspecies similarity. Besides, PMFs protected mice from irradiation-induced injury by alleviating body weight loss, reliving organ index changing and maintaining the intestinal structure. Finally, IC50 concentrations to cell line CCD 841 CoN of PMFs and nobiletin were calculated as 42.23 μg/mL and 51.58 μg/mL, respectively. Our study uncovered PMF contents in 12 sour orange materials and determined the protective effects on irradiation-induced intestinal injuries, providing guidance for the utilization of sour orange resources.

Abstract
As a typical representative of polymethoxylated flavones, nobiletin (NOB) is beneficial to health but hard to be processed, stored, and absorbed, due to its hydrophobicity and crystallinity. Herein, we developed a stabilization system based on an efficient manufacturing procedure of NOB nanocrystal by anti-solvent method combined with ultrasonic treatment. Metal-phenolic networks composed of tannic acid and metal ions were introduced to conformally coat on formed nanocrystal for further stabilization. From the results, the size and morphology of the prepared particles could be altered by the amount, ratio, and kind of the coating materials. The optimized samples could be redispersed after centrifugation, and keep stable at 4 ℃ for at least 120 days. Moreover, they possessed higher acid stability and more effective release than the control sample during the in vitro digestion experiment. Therefore, this work provided a promising idea for overcoming storage and delivery obstacle of hydrophobic crystalline bioactive components.

Abstract
As one of the major polymethoxyflavones in citrus peels, sinensetin (Sin) has been reported to possess numerous bioactivities. However, its detailed in vivo metabolic fate has not been uncovered yet. In the present study, the possible metabolites of Sin were synthesized, and all five mono-demethylated metabolites were successfully identified via ultraperformance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) analysis in rats fed with 100 mg/(kg·bw) Sin. The excretion and pharmacokinetic studies were then carried out to quantitatively investigate their variation in content with time in urine, feces, and plasma samples. Results showed that 4'-demethylsinensetin, 6-demethylsinensetin, and 3'-demethylsinensetin were the three most abundant metabolites generated in the above-mentioned biological samples. In addition, the total amount of Sin with its metabolites showed a significantly higher content in urine than in feces, indicating that Sin may be easily absorbed in the small intestine.

Abstract
Polymethoxyflavones (PMFs) are a subgroup of flavonoids possessing various health benefits. 3,5,7,4'-Tetramethoxyflavone (1), 5,6,7,4'-tetramethylflavone (2), 3,7,3',4'-tetramethoxyflavone (3), 5,7,3',4'-tetramethoxyflavone (4), 5-hydroxy-3,7,2',4'-tetramethoxyflavone (5), 3,5,7,2',4'-pentamethoxyflavone (6), 5-hydroxy-3,7,3',4'-tetramethoxyflavone (7), 3-hydroxy-5,7,3',4'-tetramethylflavone (8), 3,5,7,3',4'-pentamethoxyflavone (9), 5-hydroxy-3,7,3',4',5'-pentamethoxyflavone (10), 3-hydroxy-5,7,3',4',5'-pentamethoxyflavone (11), and 3,5,7,3',4',5'-hexamethoxylflavone (12) were 12 bioactive and available PMFs. The aim of this study was to investigate the pharmacokinetic, metabolite, and antitumor activities as well as the structure-pharmacokinetic-antitumor activity relationships of these 12 PMFs to facilitate further studies of their medicinal potentials. The cytotoxicity of PMFs with a hydroxy group toward HeLa, A549, HepG2, and HCT116 cancer cell lines was generally significantly more potent than that of PMFs without a hydroxy group. Compounds 5, 7, 8, 10, and 11 were all undetectable in rat plasma, while compounds 1-4, 6, 9, and 12 were detectable. Both the number and position of hydroxy and methoxy groups played an important role in modulating PMF pharmacokinetics and metabolites.

Abstract
Citrus fruits are among the most popularly consumed fruits worldwide, including oranges, grapefruits, pomelos and lemons. Citrus flavonoids such as hesperidin, naringin and nobiletin have shown an array of health benefits in cell, animal and clinical studies, including antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, anticancer, and anti-obesity activities. Citrus flavonoids have limited bioavailability after oral administration, leaving the major part unabsorbed and persisted in the colon. Recent studies have highlighted the important role of the gut microbiota and in vivo biotransformation on the bioactivity of citrus flavonoids. This article discusses the biological fate of citrus flavonoids from the viewpoint of their absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion in vivo. Many delivery systems have been designed to enhance the oral bioavailability of citrus flavonoids, such as emulsions, self-emulsifying systems, nanoparticles and solid dispersions. The ultimate goal of these delivery systems is to enhance the bioefficacy of citrus flavonoids. Several studies have found that the increased bioavailability leads to enhanced bioefficacy of citrus flavonoids in specific animal models. Regarding the complex dynamics of citrus flavonoids and gut microbiota, the bioavailability-bioactivity relationship is an interesting but under-discussed area. Comprehensively understanding the biological fate and bioefficacy of citrus flavonoids would be helpful to develop functional foods with better health benefits.
