Oliver male flowers on ethanol‐induced DNA damage in mouse cerebellum and cerebral cortex. FOOD SCIENCE & NUTRITION 2022; 10:2794-2803. [PMID: 35959248 PMCID: PMC9361448 DOI: 10.1002/fsn3.2882] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2021] [Revised: 03/28/2022] [Accepted: 03/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Ethanol is a principal ingredient of alcoholic beverages with potential neurotoxicity and genotoxicity, and the ethanol‐associated oxidative DNA damage in the central nervous system is well documented. Natural product may offer new options to protect the brain against ethanol‐induced neurotoxicity. The male flower of Eucommia ulmoides (EUF) Oliver has been extensively utilized as the tea, the healthy hot drink on the market. In this study, 19 constituents in the effective fraction of EUF were identified by ultra‐performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC–MS/MS). In the single‐cell gel electrophoresis assay, EUF was observed to ameliorate DNA damage in mouse cerebellum and cerebral cortex caused by acute ethanol administration, which was further confirmed by the morphological observation. The protective effects of EUF were associated with increasing total superoxide dismutase (T‐SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH‐PX) activities, and a decrease in nitric oxide (NO), malondialdehyde (MDA), 8‐hydroxy‐2′‐deoxyguanosine (8‐OHdG), and kelch‐like ECH‐associated protein‐1 (Keap1) levels. Molecular docking results demonstrated that compounds 4, 7, 9, and 16 from EUF have a strong affinity to the Keap1 Kelch domain to hinder the interaction of nuclear factor‐erythroid 2‐related factor 2 (Nrf2) with Keap1. These findings suggest that EUF is a potent inhibitor of ethanol‐induced brain injury possibly via the inhibition of oxidative stress.

Abstract
Veratrum spp. grow throughout the world and are especially prevalent in high mountain meadows of North America. All parts of Veratrum plants have been used for the treatment of ailments including injuries, hypertension, and rheumatic pain since as far back as the 1600s. Of the 17-45 Veratrum spp., Veratrum californicum alkaloids have been proven to possess favorable medicinal properties associated with inhibition of hedgehog (Hh) pathway signaling. Aberrant Hh signaling leads to proliferation of over 20 cancers, including basal cell carcinoma, prostate and colon among others. Six of the most well-studied V. californicum alkaloids are cyclopamine (1), veratramine (2), isorubijervine (3), muldamine (4), cycloposine (5), and veratrosine (6). Recent inspection of the ethanolic extract from V. californicum root and rhizome via liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry has detected up to five additional alkaloids that are proposed to be verazine (7), etioline (8), tetrahydrojervine (9), dihydrojervine (10), 22-keto-26-aminocholesterol (11). For each alkaloid identified or proposed in V. californicum, this review surveys literature precedents for extraction methods, isolation, identification, characterization and bioactivity to guide natural product drug discovery associated with this medicinal plant.

High concentrations of hypochlorous acid-based disinfectant in the environment reduced the load of SARS-CoV-2 in nucleic acid amplification testing. Electrophoresis 2021; 42:1411-1418.

Abstract
During the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) pandemic, chlorine‐containing disinfectants have been widely used in nucleic acid amplification testing laboratories. Whether the use of disinfectants affect the results of viral nucleic acid amplification is unknown. We examined the impact of different hypochlorous acid (HOCl) concentrations on the quantitative results of SARS‐CoV‐2 by real‐time reverse‐transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR). We also explored the mechanisms and models of action of chlorine‐containing disinfectants that affected the detection of SARS‐CoV‐2. The results showed that different HOCl concentrations and different action times had an impact on the SARS‐CoV‐2 results. High concentrations of ambient HOCl have a greater impact than low concentrations, and this effect will increase with the extension of the action time and with the increase in ambient humidity. Compared with the enzymes or the extracted RNA required for RT‐PCR, the impact of HOCl on the SARS‐CoV‐2 detection is more likely to be caused by damage to primers and probes in the PCR system. The false negative result still existed after changing the ambient disinfectant to ethanol but not peracetic acid. The use of HOCl in the environment will have an unpredictable impact on the nucleic acid test results of SARS‐CoV‐2. In order to reduce the possibility of false negative of SARS‐CoV‐2 nucleic acid test and prevent the spread of epidemic disease, environmental disinfectants should be used at the beginning and end of the experiment rather than during the experimental operation.

Abstract
Oxyresveratrol has recently attracted much research attention due to its simple chemical structure and diverse therapeutic potentials. Previous reviews describe the chemistry and biological activities of this phytoalexin, but additional coverage and greater accessibility are still needed. The current review provides a more comprehensive summary, covering research from 1955 to the present year. Oxyresveratrol occurs in both gymnosperms and angiosperms. However, it has never been reported in plants in the subclass Sympetalae, and this point might be of both chemotaxonomic and biosynthetic importance. Oxyresveratrol can be easily obtained from plant materials by conventional methods, and several systems for both qualitative and quantitative analysis of oxyresveratrol contents in plant materials and plant products are available. Oxyresveratrol possesses diverse biological and pharmacological activities such as the inhibition of tyrosinase and melanogenesis, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, and protective effects against neurological disorders and digestive ailments. However, the unfavorable pharmacokinetic properties of oxyresveratrol, including low water solubility and poor oral availability and stability, have posed challenges to its development as a useful therapeutic agent. Recently, several delivery systems have emerged, with promising outcomes that may improve chances for the clinical study of oxyresveratrol.

Abstract
A dozen Iris species (Iridaceae) are considered traditional remedies in Kurdistan, especially for treating inflammations. Phytochemical studies are still scarce. The information reported in the literature about Iris species growing in Kurdistan has been summarized in the first part of this paper, although, except for Iris persica, investigations have been performed on vegetal samples collected in countries different from Kurdistan. In the second part of the work, we have investigated, for the first time, the contents of the methanolic extracts of Iris postii aerial parts and rhizomes that were collected in Kurdistan. Both extracts exhibited a significant dose-dependent free radical scavenging and total antioxidant activities, comparable to those of ascorbic acid. Medium-pressure liquid chromatographic separations of the two extracts afforded l-tryptophan, androsin, isovitexin, swertisin, and 2″-O-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl swertisin from the aerial parts, whereas ε-viniferin, trans-resveratrol 3,4′-O-di-β-d-glucopyranoside, and isotectorigenin were isolated from the rhizomes. This is the first finding of the last three metabolites from an Iris species. The various remarkable biological activities of isolated compounds scientifically sustain the traditional use of I. postii as a medicinal plant.

Mulberroside A repairs high fructose diet-induced damage of intestinal epithelial and blood-brain barriers in mice: A potential for preventing hippocampal neuroinflammatory injury.

Abstract
Our previous studies showed that high fructose diet (HFrD)-driven gut dysbiosis caused fecal short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) reduction and intestinal epithelial barrier (IEB) damage in mice, which might play an important role in hippocampal neuroinflammatory injury. Mulberroside A is reported to have neuroprotective effects in animal experiments, while the underlying mechanisms are not yet fully elucidated. Here, we investigated whether and how mulberroside A prevented HFrD-induced neuroinflammatory injury. HFrD-fed mice were treated orally with mulberroside A (20 and 40 mg/kg) for 8 weeks. Mulberroside A was found to inhibit hippocampal neuroinflammation and neurogenesis reduction in HFrD-fed mice. It reshaped gut dysbiosis, increased fecal and serum SCFAs contents, reactivated signaling of the colonic NLR family, pyrin domain containing 6 (NLRP6) inflammasome, and up-regulated Muc2 expression to prevent IEB damage, as well as subsequently, reduced serum endotoxin levels in this animal model. Additionally, mulberroside A inhibited oxidative stress in colon of HFrD-fed mice and hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 )-stimulated Caco-2 cells. Blood-brain barrier (BBB) structure defects were also observed in HFrD-driven hippocampal neuroinflammatory injury of mice. Interestingly, mulberroside A maintained astrocyte morphology and up-regulated tight junction proteins to repair BBB structure defects in hippocampus dentate gyrus (DG). Our results demonstrated that mulberroside A was capable of preventing HFrD-induced damage of IEB and BBB in mice, which might contribute to the suppression of hippocampal neuroinflammatory injury.

Abstract
Veratrum plant contains a family of compounds called steroidal alkaloids which have been previously reported to cause DNA damage and blood pressure decrease in vivo. In this study, the antihypertensive effects and DNA damage in brain cells of 12 steroidal alkaloids separated from Veratrum plant were all evaluated to develop a relationship among chemical structure, antihypertensive activity and neurotoxicity by utilization of chemical principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA). Twelve steroidal alkaloids markedly reduced high blood pressure of hypertensive mice and also similarly induced varying degrees of DNA single-strand breaks in mouse cerebellum and cerebral cortex after oral administration. On the basis of the PCA and HCA results, it was suggested that the 3-carboxylic esters and benzene group play a core role in the DNA damage of brain cells, while more hydroxy groups in the A-ring and B-ring structure of jervine-type alkaloid led to stronger antihypertensive activity. The primary structure, activity and neurotoxicity relationship were discussed briefly.

Abstract
DNA integrity plays a crucial role in cell survival. Methamphetamine (METH) is an illegal psychoactive substance that is abused worldwide, and repeated exposure to METH could form mass free radicals and induce neuronal apoptosis. It has been reported that free radicals generated by METH treatment can oxidize DNA and hence produce strand breaks, but whether oxidative DNA damage is involved in the neurotoxicity caused by METH remains unclear. Tea polyphenols exert bioactivities through antioxidant-related mechanisms. However, the potential neuroprotective effect of tea polyphenols on METH-induced nerve cell damage and the underlying mechanism remain to be clarified. In this study, oxidative stress, DNA damage, and cell apoptosis were increased after METH exposure, and the expressions of DNA repair-associated proteins, including the phosphorylation of ataxia telangiectasia mutant (p-ATM) and checkpoint kinase 2 (p-Chk2), significantly declined in PC12 cells after high-dose or long-time METH treatment. Additionally, tea polyphenols could protect PC12 cells against METH-induced cell viability loss, reactive oxide species and nitric oxide production, and mitochondrial dysfunction and suppress METH-induced apoptosis. Furthermore, tea polyphenols could increase the antioxidant capacities and expressions of p-ATM and p-Chk2 and then attenuate DNA damage via activating the DNA repair signaling pathway. These findings indicate that METH is likely to induce neurotoxicity by inducing DNA damage, which can be reversed by tea polyphenols. Supplementation with tea polyphenols could be an effective nutritional prevention strategy for METH-induced neurotoxicity and neurodegenerative disease.
