Comprehensive spectroscopic and computational insight into the binding of vanillin with human transferrin: targeting neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease therapeutics. Front Pharmacol 2024; 15:1397332. [PMID: 38799161 PMCID: PMC11116798 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2024.1397332] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2024] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024] Open
Abstract
In present times, vanillin stands out as a promising therapeutic molecule that can be implicated in the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders (NDs), notably Alzheimer's disease (AD). This can be attributed to the highly potent scavenging activity of vanillin against reactive oxygen species (ROS). Oxidative stress leads to generation of ROS that serves a critical role in AD's pathological progression. It is apparent from various studies that diets rich in polyphenols prevent oxidative stress associated with AD development, implying the crucial role of vanillin in AD therapeutics. It is crucial to maintain iron balance to manage AD associated oxidative stress, unveiling the significance of human transferrin (hTf) that maintains iron homeostasis. Here, we have performed an integrated study of spectroscopic and computational approaches to get insight into the binding mechanism of vanillin with hTf. In the preliminary study, molecular docking deciphered that vanillin primarily occupies the hTf binding pocket, forming multiple interactions with its key residues. Moreover, the binding mechanism was evaluated at an atomistic level employing comprehensive molecular dynamic (MD) simulation. MD analysis demonstrated that binding of vanillin to hTf stabilizes its structure, without inducing any significant alterations in its native conformation. The docked complex was maintained throughout the simulations without changing its original conformation. Essential dynamics analysis further confirms that hTf achieved a stable conformation with vanillin. The outcomes were further supplemented by fluorescence spectroscopy which confirms the formation of stable hTf-vanillin complex. Taken together, the current study unveils the interaction mechanism of vanillin with hTf and providing a platform to use vanillin in AD therapeutics in the context of iron homeostasis.

Int J Nanomedicine 2024; 19:3031-3044. [PMID: 38562612 PMCID: PMC10982809 DOI: 10.2147/ijn.s447691] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2023] [Accepted: 02/19/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose Peripheral nerve damage lacks an appropriate diagnosis consistent with the patient's symptoms, despite expensive magnetic resonance imaging or electrodiagnostic assessments, which cause discomfort. Ultrasonography is valuable for diagnosing and treating nerve lesions; however, it is unsuitable for detecting small lesions. Poly(vanillin-oxalate) (PVO) nanoparticles are prepared from vanillin, a phytochemical with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Previously, PVO nanoparticles were cleaved by H2O2 to release vanillin, exert therapeutic efficacy, and generate CO2 to increase ultrasound contrast. However, the role of PVO nanoparticles in peripheral nerve lesion models is still unknown. Herein, we aimed to determine whether PVO nanoparticles can function as contrast and therapeutic agents for nerve lesions. Methods To induce sciatic neuritis, rats were administered a perineural injection of carrageenan using a nerve stimulator under ultrasonographic guidance, and PVO nanoparticles were injected perineurally to evaluate ultrasonographic contrast and therapeutic effects. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR was performed to detect mRNA levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, ie, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, and cyclooxygenase-2. Results In the rat model of sciatic neuritis, PVO nanoparticles generated CO2 bubbles to increase ultrasonographic contrast, and a single perineural injection of PVO nanoparticles suppressed the expression of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, and cyclooxygenase-2, reduced the expression of F4/80, and increased the expression of GAP43. Conclusion The results of the current study suggest that PVO nanoparticles could be developed as ultrasonographic contrast agents and therapeutic agents for nerve lesions.

Insights into the Dynamic Succession of Microbial Community and Related Factors of Vanillin Content Change Based by High-Throughput Sequencing and Daqu Quality Drivers. Foods 2023; 12:4312. [PMID: 38231778 DOI: 10.3390/foods12234312] [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: 10/15/2023] [Revised: 11/18/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2024] Open
Abstract
Daqu is an important saccharifying starter in the fermentation of Nongxiangxing Baijiu in China. Vanillin is a health and flavor factor in Baijiu. However, only a few research studies on the vanillin content of Daqu are currently not systematic. In order to investigate the metabolic mechanism of vanillin in the fermentation process of Daqu, we analyzed the changes in microorganisms, influencing factors, and enzymes related to vanillin in Daqu. This research found that there were differences between bacterial and fungal genera in each sample, and the abundance of bacteria was greater than that of fungi. Among the microbial genera, Klebsiella, Escherichia, Acinetobacter, Saccharopolyspora, Aerococcus, and Puccinia were positively correlated with vanillin. Meanwhile, we also found that moisture and reducing sugar were the main physicochemical factors affecting the formation of vanillin. The functional annotation results indicate that carbohydrate metabolism and energy metabolism were important microbial metabolic pathways that impacted vanillin production in solid-state fermentation. The feruloyl-CoA hydratase/lyase (EC 4.1.2.61) and acylamidase (EC 3.5.1.4) were positively correlated with vanillin content (p ≤ 0.05) and promote the increase in vanillin content. These findings contribute to furthering our understanding of the functional microorganisms, physicochemical factors, and enzymes related to the change in vanillin content during the fermentation of Daqu and can help to further explore the flavor substances in Baijiu fermentation in the future.

Abstract
The present study investigated the potential ability of Salvia officinalis, one of the oldest medicinal plants, to protect male rats against cadmium reproductive toxicity. Twenty-eight healthy male rats were randomly allocated into four groups (n = 7); control, Salvia-extract treated group, cadmium treated group and a group treated with both Cd and Salvia. Administration of cadmium reduced the relative testis to body weight and significantly affected sperm parameters by decreasing motility, viability, count and increasing morphological aberrations. Comet assay was used to detect DNA fragmentation in sperms of the rats exposed to Cd. Serum levels of testosterone T, follicle stimulating hormone FSH, and luteinizing hormone LH were significantly decreased. The biochemical analysis of testicular tissue showed a significant rise in Malondialdehyde MDA level coupled with a decrease in the activity of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase SOD, glutathione peroxidase GPx and catalase CAT). The histological examination of testis sections after Cd administration revealed severe degeneration of spermatogenic cells. Seminiferous tubules were filled with homogenous eosinophilic fluid associated with atrophy of other seminiferous tubules. Co-treatment with the Salvia officinalis extract restored the oxidative enzymes activities and decreased the formation of lipid peroxidation byproduct, which in turn ameliorated the effect of Cd on sperm parameters, DNA damage and testis histopathology. Taken together, it can be concluded that the synergistic antioxidant and radical savaging activities of Salvia officinalis prevented the effect of Cd on semen quality, sperm DNA damage, along with the oxidative stress and histological abnormalities in the testis tissues.

Abstract
Molecular inorganic catalysts (MICs) tend to have solvent-exposed metal centers that lack substrate specificity and are easily inhibited by biological nucleophiles. Unfortunately, these limitations exclude many MICs from being considered for in vivo applications. To overcome this challenge, a strategy to spatially confine MICs using Lewis acid-driven self-assembly is presented. It was shown that in the presence of external cations (e.g., Li+, Na+, K+, or Cs+) or phosphate buffered saline, diiridium macrocycles spontaneously formed supramolecular iridium-cation species, which were characterized by X-ray crystallography and dynamic light scattering. These nanoassemblies selectively reduced sterically unhindered C[double bond, length as m-dash]O groups via transfer hydrogenation and tolerated up to 1 mM of glutathione. In contrast, when non-coordinating tetraalkylammonium cations were used, the diiridium catalysts were unable to form higher-ordered structures and discriminate between different aldehyde substrates. This work suggests that in situ coordination self-assembly could be a versatile approach to enable or enhance the integration of MICs with biological hosts.

Integration of Chemometrics and Sensory Metabolomics to Validate Quality Factors of Aged Baijiu (Nianfen Baijiu) with Emphasis on Long-Chain Fatty Acid Ethyl Esters. Foods 2023; 12:3087. [PMID: 37628086 PMCID: PMC10453570 DOI: 10.3390/foods12163087] [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: 07/19/2023] [Revised: 08/14/2023] [Accepted: 08/14/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
The storage process of Baijiu is an integral part of its production (the quality undergoes substantial changes during the aging process of Baijiu). As the storage time extends, the flavor compounds in Baijiu tend to undergo coordinated transformation, thereby enhancing the quality of Baijiu. Among them, long-chain fatty acid ethyl esters (LCFAEEs) were widely distributed in Baijiu and have been shown to have potential contributions to the quality of Baijiu. However, the current research on LCFAEEs in Baijiu predominantly focuses on the olfactory sensation aspect, while there is a lack of systematic investigation into their influence on taste and evaluation after drinking Baijiu during the aging process. In light of this, the present study investigates the distribution of LCFAEEs in Baijiu over different years. We have combined modern flavor sensory analysis with multivariate chemometrics to comprehensively and objectively explore the influence of LCFAEEs on Baijiu quality. The results demonstrate a significant positive correlation between the concentration of LCFAEEs and the fruity aroma (p < 0.05, r = 0.755) as well as the aged aroma (p < 0.05, r = 0.833) of Baijiu within a specific range; they can effectively reduce the off-flavors and spicy sensation of Baijiu. Furthermore, additional experiments utilizing a single variable suggest that LCFAEEs were crucial factors influencing the flavor of Baijiu, with Ethyl Palmitate (EP) being the most notable LCFAEE that merits further systematic investigation.

Abstract
Antique Lotus (Nelumbo) is a perennial aquatic plant with unique historical significance and cultural value, whereas its potential economic value hasn't been fully explored. The present study showed that lotus seedpods had significantly higher antioxidant capacity than other parts by FRAP, ABTS, and ORAC assays and analyzed the proanthocyanidins and flavonols in the seedpods of Antique Lotus. Polyphenols contributed to great antioxidant activity and 51 polyphenols were identified by UPLC-TQ-MS analysis. In which, 27 compounds were identified from lotus seedpods for the first time, including 20 trimers, 5 dimers and 2 tetramers of proanthocyanidin. Total proanthocyanidins explained 70%-90% of the different antioxidant activities and the content of proanthocyanidin trimers showed the strongest correlations with the antioxidant activities. This study provided a fundamental reference for the research of polyphenols in lotus and found that Antique Lotus seedpod extracts have the promising prospects of additives used in feed and food processing.

Application of Clostridium butyricum, Rummeliibacillus suwonensis, and Issatchenkia orientalis for Nongxiangxing baijiu fermentation: Improves the microbial communities and flavor of upper fermented grain. Food Res Int 2023; 169:112885.

Abstract
Ethyl hexanoate and ethyl butyrate are essential to the flavor compounds in Nongxiangxing baijiu, but low levels of these two esters in upper fermented grains (FG) decreases the quality of upper distilled baijiu, representing the main challenge in Nongxiangxing baijiu production. This paper enhanced fermentation by inoculating functional Clostridium butyricum, Rummeliibacillus suwonensis, and Issatchenkia orientalis strains into upper FG. The results showed that the ethyl butyrate content in the upper FG increased significantly and the content of ethyl hexanoate did improve from the results of many determinations. High-throughput sequencing indicated that the dominant phyla in the FG were Firmicutes, Actinobacteriota, Proteobacteria, Ascomycota, and Basidiomycota. The canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) and person correlation network revealed the relationship between the microbial community, physicochemical environment, and flavor compounds. The temperature, oxygen, and acidity were closely related to the microbial community, while most flavor compounds were positively correlated with Caldicoprobacter, Caproiciproducens, Delftia, Hydrogenispora, Thermoactinomyces, Issatchenkia Bacillus, and Aspergillus. These results helped improve the quality of Nongxiangxing baijiu.

Abstract
Vanillin, an extract from the Vanilla planifolia plant, is reported to possess potent antioxidant properties. The ability of vanillin to protect skin cells from reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced damage and its potential use in the treatment of wounds were studied. Cytocompatibility and cytoprotective properties against ROS-induced damage were examined using keratinocyte and fibroblast cell models. Vanillin's effect on cell migration was studied using the scratch wound healing assay. Vanillin exhibited cytocompatibility and cytoprotective properties against cell damage induced by ROS. Human keratinocytes and fibroblast cells showed >80% survival when exposed to vanillin (10-500 μM). Both cells showed no evidence of necrosis or apoptosis, which was confirmed by acridine orange/propidium iodide staining. Both examined cells were exposed to 750 μM hydrogen peroxide to cause oxidative stress, and vanillin demonstrated the ability to inhibit ROS-induced cell death. In addition, a considerable increase in cell migration suggested that vanillin had the ability to heal wounds in vitro. Vanillin is safe and potentially useful in wound healing treatments.

Abstract
This study comprehensively characterized and compared the aroma differences between four different grades of Fenjiu (FJ, the most representative light-flavor Baijiu). Aroma-active compounds were analyzed by liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) coupled with gas chromatography-olfactometry-mass spectrometry (GC-O-MS). A total of 88 aroma-active compounds were identified, and 70 of them were quantified. The results showed that a majority of aroma compounds in high-grade FJ had higher aroma intensities and concentrations. Among these compounds, there were 28 compounds with odor activity values (OAVs) greater than one in all four wines, which indicated that they might contribute to the characteristic aroma of FJ. Temporal dominance of sensation (TDS) and quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA) were used to characterize the sensory differences. The results suggested that high-grade FJ had a rich, pleasant and lasting retronasal aroma perception and exhibited pleasant orthonasal aroma of floral, fruity, sweet and grassy. Partial least squares regression (PLSR) analysis effectively distinguished four kinds of FJ and revealed associations between the orthonasal aroma attributes and the aroma compounds with OAVs >1. There were 15 compounds with variable importance in projection (VIP) values >1, and they were considered potential aroma markers for quality prediction.

Abstract
Sichuan sun vinegar (SSV) is a traditional Chinese vinegar with a unique flavor and it is fermented with bran as the main raw material. In the present study, we explored the bacterial community succession in fermented grains (Cupei) during SSV production. High-throughput sequencing results showed that bacterial community richness and diversity peaked on day 7 of fermentation. Lactobacillus and Acetobacter were the dominant bacteria throughout the fermentation process. However, Acetobacter, Cupriavidus, Sphingomonas, Pelomonas, and Lactobacillus were the most abundant genera in the late phase of fermentation on day 17. The boundaries of trilateral co-fermentation were determined through cluster analysis. Days 1-3 were considered the early fermentation stage (starch saccharification), days 5-11 were the middle fermentation stage (alcoholic fermentation), and days 13-17 represented the late fermentation stage (acetic acid fermentation). Changes in flavor compounds during Cupei fermentation were subsequently analyzed and a total of 86 volatile compounds, 9 organic acids, and 17 amino acids were detected. Although acetic acid, lactic acid, alcohols, and esters were the main metabolites, butyrate was also detected. Correlation analysis indicated that 20, 21, and 28 microorganisms were positively correlated with the abundance of amino acids, organic acids, and volatile flavor compounds, respectively. We further explored the microbial and metabolic mechanisms associated with the dominant volatile flavor compounds during SSV fermentation. Collectively, the findings of the current study provide detailed insights regarding the fermentation mechanisms of SSV, which may prove relevant for producing high-quality fermented products.

Correlation between Perturbation of Redox Homeostasis and Antibiofilm Capacity of Phytochemicals at Non-Lethal Concentrations. Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:antiox11122451.

Abstract
Biofilms are the multicellular lifestyle of microorganisms and are present on potentially every type of biotic or abiotic surface. Detrimental biofilms are generally targeted with antimicrobial compounds. Phytochemicals at sub-lethal concentrations seem to be an exciting alternative strategy to control biofilms, as they are less likely to impose selective pressure leading to resistance. This overview gathers the literature on individual phytocompounds rather than on extracts of which the use is difficult to reproduce. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first review to target only individual phytochemicals below inhibitory concentrations against biofilm formation. We explored whether there is an overall mechanism that can explain the effects of individual phytochemicals at sub-lethal concentrations. Interestingly, in all experiments reported here in which oxidative stress was investigated, a modest increase in intracellular reactive oxygen species was reported in treated cells compared to untreated specimens. At sub-lethal concentrations, polyphenolic substances likely act as pro-oxidants by disturbing the healthy redox cycle and causing an accumulation of reactive oxygen species.

Abstract
Baijiu is the national liquor of China, which has lasted in China for more than 2000 years. Abundant raw materials, multi-strain co-fermentation, and complex processes make the secrets of baijiu flavor and taste still not fully explored. Acid substances not only have a great influence on the flavor and taste of baijiu, but also have certain functions. Therefore, this paper provides a systematic review for the reported acid substances, especially for their contribution to the flavor and functional quality of baijiu. Based on previous studies, this paper puts forward a conjecture, a suggestion, and a point of view, namely: the conjecture of “whether acid substances can be used as ‘key factor’ for baijiu quality “; the suggestion of “the focus of research on acid substances in baijiu should be transferred to evaluating their contribution to the taste of baijiu”; and the view of “acid substances are ‘regulators’ in the fermentation process of baijiu”. It is worth thinking about whether acid substances can be used as the key factors of baijiu to be studied and confirmed by practice in the future. It is hoped that the systematic review of acid substances in baijiu in this paper can contribute to further in-depth and systematic research on baijiu by researchers in the future.

Abstract
Traditional Chinese fermented baijiu is one of the six major distilled spirits consumed worldwide. It plays an important role in people's daily life and social interactions because of its taste, nutritional value, and various health functions. Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP), also known as ligustrazine, is not only an important compound related to the flavor of Chinese baijiu but also has special pharmacological effects. It gives the baijiu a nutty and baked aroma and provides baijiu with important health benefits. Recently, the nutritional, drinking, and health aspects of baijiu have attracted significant attention. Therefore, the study of TMP in baijiu is an important aspect of baijiu health research. This mini novel review summarizes the formation mechanism of TMP, along with the current research progress, analytical methods used, and regulation strategies associated with TMP in Chinese baijiu in recent years.

Abstract
In previous studies, three phenolic compounds (vanillin, 4-methylguaiacol, and 4-ethylguaiacol) were identified in baijiu, and confirmed to possess antioxidant activity in vitro. However, the distribution of phenolic compounds in baijiu, and their associations with the functionality of this regimen have not been previously reported. In the present work, the antioxidant capacity and anti-inflammatory effect of baijiu were evaluated by DPPH•, ABTS•+, ELISA, and real-time PCR assays. The concentrations of vanillin, 4-methylguaiacol, and 4-ethylguaiacol (bioactive phenolic compounds) in 103 baijiu samples were confirmed by liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Baijiu exhibited DPPH• and ABTS•+ scavenging activities, which positively correlated with the concentrations of vanillin, 4-methylguaiacol, and 4-ethylguaiacol. Moreover, ELISA and real-time PCR assays demonstrated that baijiu could relieve inflammation caused by LPS through the inhibition of NF-κB and AP-1 expressions, induction of Nrf2 expression, and repression of inflammatory cytokine secretion. These findings lay the foundation for further investigation on the health benefits of baijiu and its bioactive components by animal and human studies.

Abstract
This study was conducted to identify the bioactive phytochemicals in Salvia officinalis essential oil, to determine the polyphenols in the aqueous extract (SOE), and to evaluate their protective role against cadmium (Cd)-induced oxidative damage and genotoxicity in rats. Six groups of female rats were treated orally for 2 weeks including the control group, CdCl2-treated group, SOE-treated groups at low or high dose (100 and 200 mg/kg b.w), and CdCl2 plus SOE-treated groups at the two doses. The GC-MS analysis identified 39 compounds; the main compounds were 9-octadecenamide, eucalyptol, palmitic acid, and oleic acid. However, the HPLC analysis showed 12 polyphenolic compounds and the majority were coumaric acid, chlorogenic acid, coffeic acid, catechin, vanillin, gallic acid, ellagic acid, and rutin. In the biological study, rats received CdCl2 displayed severe disturbances in liver and kidney indices alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), albumin (Alb), total protein (TP), total bilirubin (T. Bil), direct bilirubin (D. Bil), creatinine, uric acid, and urea, lipid profile, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and CEA), glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO), gene expressions, DNA fragmentation, and histological alterations in the liver and kidney tissue. SOE showed a potent antioxidant and mitigated these alterations in serum and tissue. Moreover, the high dose succeeded to normalize most of the tested parameters and histological features. It could be concluded that S. officinalis is a promising source for bioactive compounds with therapeutic benefits against environmental toxicants.

Abstract
In this paper, a simple and innovative colorimetric method is established, which is based on DBP-induced aggregation of arginine functionalized gold nanoparticles (ARG-AuNPs), and can be used for the sensitive determination of dibutyl phthalate (DBP) in Baijiu samples. The morphological characteristics and the color changes of ARG-AuNPs caused by aggregation show good sensitivity, and can be observed through ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and zeta potential technology. The color change of ARG-AuNPs from red to blue is due to the strong non-covalent interactions between DBP and ARG-AuNPs (electrostatic, van der Waals force and hydrogen bonding), which leads to the reduction of the electrostatic repulsion between the nanoparticles and aggregation. A two-stage linear equation was established between the absorption ratio (A690/A530) and the DBP concentration (0.0-2.8 mg L-1); the correlation coefficient (R2) was 0.9914-0.9940, and the detection limit (LOD) was estimated at 0.05 mg L-1. The designed ARG-AuNPs acting as a dependable sensor for the detection of Baijiu samples equally acquired satisfactory recoveries. When the concentration of DBP in the solution is more than 1.0 mg L-1, the color change can be clearly observed by the naked eye; so there is no need for sample preparation techniques and tedious operations to quickly and semi-quantitatively detect DBP. The successful application of the proposed method in Baijiu samples indicates its potential to detect DBP in more complex environment samples.

Diagnosis and Simultaneous Treatment of Musculoskeletal Injury Using H 2O 2-Triggered Echogenic Antioxidant Polymer Nanoparticles in a Rat Model of Contusion Injury. NANOMATERIALS 2021; 11:nano11102571. [PMID: 34685012 PMCID: PMC8537538 DOI: 10.3390/nano11102571] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2021] [Revised: 09/21/2021] [Accepted: 09/21/2021] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
Ultrasound is clinically used for diagnosis and interventions for musculoskeletal injuries like muscle contusion, but contrast of ultrasonography still remains a challenge in the field of the musculoskeletal system. A level of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is known to be elevated during mechanical tissue damage and therefore H2O2 can be exploited as a diagnostic and therapeutic marker for mechanical injuries in the musculoskeletal system. We previously developed poly(vanillin-oxalate) (PVO) as an inflammation-responsive polymeric prodrug of vanillin, which is designed to rapidly respond to H2O2 and exert antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. The primary aim of this study is to verify whether PVO nanoparticles could serve as contrast agents as well as therapeutic agents for musculoskeletal injuries simultaneously. In a rat model of contusion-induced muscle injury, PVO nanoparticles generated CO2 bubbles to enhance the ultrasound contrast in the injury site. A single intramuscular injection of PVO nanoparticles also suppressed contusion-induced muscle damages by inhibiting the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and inflammatory cell infiltration. We, therefore, anticipate that PVO nanoparticles have great translational potential as not only ultrasound imaging agents but also therapeutic agents for the musculoskeletal disorders such as contusion.

Abstract
This study describes the synthesis and antioxidant activity of new 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles. These compounds were generated semi-synthetically using the Cu(I)-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction between ethyl 2-azidoacetate and terminal acetylenes derived from the natural products carvacrol, eugenol, isovanillin, thymol and vanillin. The products were obtained at 50 to 80% yield and characterised through several spectrographic techniques. Antioxidant activity was assayed using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS). The products exhibited moderate antioxidant activity, with ethyl 2-(4-((4-formyl-2-methoxyphenoxy)methyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl) acetate showing the highest antioxidant capacity (EC50 = 75.5 µg/mL) among the generated 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles. In conclusion, the generation of these compounds opens new possibilities for the development of new antioxidant agents.

Abstract
AIM To compare effects on certain health indices in rodents of different doses of alcoholic beverages, huangjiu (Chinese yellow wine), red wine and baijiu (Chinese liquor) combined with high-fat diet (HFD) and the pure HFD. METHODS A total of 80 rats were randomly divided into eight groups and treated with (a) basal diet (3.5 kcal/g); (b) HFD (19.5% w/w lard, 4.5 kcal/g) and (c) HFD with low or high doses of separate alcoholic beverages (2.5 and 5 g/kg ethanol, respectively) for 28 weeks. RESULTS Chronic drinking when combined with HFD was associated with reduced body weight, fat accumulation and serum TNF-α level, serum TG, TC and LDL-C levels, and improved glucose tolerance (OGTT) and insulin sensitivity (ITT), hepatic enzymes; elevated levels or activities of the antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione reductase, reduced the content of lipid peroxidation productions such as malondialdehyde, in comparison with the pure HFD intake. In addition, compared with HFD, drinking plus HFD improved microbiota dysbiosis, down-regulated the ratio of Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes and promoted the growth of some probiotics including Prevotellaceae_UCG-001 and norank_f__Bacteroidales_S24-7_group. CONCLUSION Overall, the three beverages showed different impacts on indicators but red wine showed the most 'beneficial' effects. Of course, higher ethanol dosages can be expected to cause overall negative health effects, and harms of high fat intake can be prevented by healthier diet.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate 4D changes in colors and flavors of 3D-printed healthy food products in response to an external or internal pH stimulus. The formulations obtained by 3D printing of multi-smart materials, comprised of the combination of red cabbage juice, vanillin powder, potato starch and different fruit juices were used. 3D printing ability of red cabbage juice and vanillin powder affected by different potato starch concentrations was first studied. Then, changes in color, texture, flavor (by E-nose) and taste (by E-tongue) induced by the stimulus were determined. Results revealed that the color of the 3D-printed product changed from blue (control sample) to red, purple, violet, blue, blue-green, and green-yellow colors when sprayed with pH solutions of 2, 3-4, 5-6, 7, 8-9, and 10, respectively. In addition, clear differences in aroma and taste profiles among pH samples were detected. Moreover, dried 4D product samples exhibited color and anthocyanins stability when stored in ambient temperature for three weeks. This study is important for manufacturing new healthy 3D-printed food products with desired and attractive sensory characteristics, which can be particularly significant to people with poor appetite.

Abstract
It is known that the intake of alcoholic beverages may impair genetic and epigenetic regulatory events with consequent crucial effects on cell phenotypes and that its association with selected genotypes can lead to a different risk of cancer in the population. The aim of this review is to pick up selected studies on this topic and recapitulate some of the biochemical and nutrigenetic/nutrigenomic aspects involved in the impact of dietary low-dose alcohol consumption on the switching-on or -off of tumorigenic pathways. These include i) the existence of predisposing or protective human genotypes and the relationship between dietary compounds and alcohol in the promotion or inhibition of carcinogenesis; ii) the effects of other components of alcoholic drinks in the modulation of the expression of oncogenes and oncosuppressors, the autophagic flux and the onset of apoptosis, with examples of their cytospecificity; and iii) the role of alcoholic beverage consumption within particular dietary regimens, including the Mediterranean diet. Taking all the data into account, several alcohol-associated bioactive dietary compounds appear capable to modulate peculiar intracellular pathways predisposing to or protecting from cancer. Advances in the nutrigenetic, nutrigenomic and nutriepigenetic knowledge complementing the biochemical and molecular approaches will help in unveiling their impact on health outcome.

Abstract
Wickerhamomyces anomalus is conducive to the synthesis of ester compounds in brewing the Chinese liquor Baijiu; esters are crucial for the quality of Baijiu. In this study, simulated solid-state fermentation for Baijiu production was used to explore whether artificial addition of W. anomalus could improve the flavor substance in Baijiu, and the underlying mechanisms. Two experimental groups were studied, in which W. anomalus Y3604 (Group A) and YF1503 (Group B) were added, respectively; in the control group (Group C), no W. anomalus was added. Adding strain Y3604 increased the content of esters in fermentation samples, especially ethyl acetate and ethyl caproate, and reduced the content of higher alcohols. Adding strain YF1503 had little effect on the ester content but decreased the content of higher alcohols. The diversity and abundance of prokaryotic genera in Group A and B samples were similar, but there were some differences compared with Group C. The correlations of genera in Group A or B samples were simple compared with group C. Although the predominant eukaryotic genera in the three groups were consistent, the abundance of each gene varied among groups. Based on our findings, bioaugmentation of Baijiu fermentation with W. anomalus will change the ethyl acetate content and cause changes in the levels of other flavor substances. We suggest that the changes in flavor substances caused by the addition of W. anomalus are mainly due to changes in the microbial community structure that result from the addition of W. anomalus.

Abstract
Bioactive compounds, such as organic acids (OA) and nature-identical compounds (NIC), can exert a role in the protection of intestinal mucosa functionality due to their biological properties. The aim of this study was to understand the role of 2 OA (citric and sorbic acid) and 2 NIC (thymol and vanillin), alone or combined in a blend (OA + NIC), on intestinal barrier functionality, either during homeostatic condition or during an inflammatory challenge performed with pro-inflammatory cytokines and lipopolysaccharides (LPS). The study was performed on the human epithelial cell line Caco-2, a well-known model of the intestinal epithelial barrier. The results showed how OA and NIC alone can improve transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) and mRNA levels of tight junction (TJ) components, but OA + NIC showed stronger efficacy compared to the single molecules. When an inflammatory challenge occurred, OA + NIC blend was able both to ameliorate, and prevent, damage caused by the pro-inflammatory stimulus, reducing or preventing the drop in TEER and improving the TJ mRNA expression. The data support the role of OA + NIC in modulating gut barrier functionality and reducing the negative effects of inflammation in intestinal epithelial cells, thereby supporting the gut barrier functionality.

Abstract
Huangshui (HS), a byproduct of Baijiu, has been widely studied for the utilization of aromatic compounds and microorganisms. However, there is little information on the bioactive polysaccharides in HS. In this study, a novel complex polysaccharide (HSP-2) composed of mannose, glucose, galactose, arabinose, xylose, and rhamnose at approximate percentages of 53.0, 29.6, 11.5, 2.7, 2.1, and 1.0, respectively, was successfully extracted and purified from HS. The results of FT-IR, methylation analysis, and NMR showed that the backbone of HSP-2 was → 2)-β-D-Manp-(1 → 2,6)-β-D-Manp-(1 → 6)-α-D-Glcp-(1 → 4)-α-L-Rhap-(1 → 3,4)-α-L-Rhap-(1→. In addition, HSP-2 showed significant immuno-stimulating effects via increasing the ROS and NO generation, and enhancing the pinocytic and phagocytic capacities of THP-1 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Meanwhile, HSP-2 treatment increased IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β secretion through activating the expression of the related mRNAs and proteins. These results will provide a molecular basis for immuno-stimulating effects of HSP-2 and lay a foundation for the potential application of HS in functional foods.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease, and its main hallmark is the deposition of amyloid beta (Aβ) peptides. However, several clinical trials focusing on Aβ-targeting agents have failed recently, and thus new therapeutic leads are focusing on alternate targets such as tau protein pathology, Aβ-metal induced oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation. To address these different pathological aspects of AD, we have employed a multifunctional compound, L1 [4-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-2-((4,7-dimethyl-1,4,7-triazonan-1-yl)methyl)-6-methoxyphenol], that integrates Aβ-interacting and metal-binding fragments in a single molecular framework, exhibits significant antioxidant activity and metal chelating ability, and also rescues neuroblastoma N2A cells from Cu2+-induced Aβ neurotoxicity. Along with demonstrating in vivo Aβ-binding and favorable brain uptake properties, L1 treatment of transgenic 5xFAD mice significantly reduces the amount of both amyloid plaques and associated phosphorylated tau (p-tau) aggregates in the brain by 40-50% versus the vehicle-treated 5xFAD mice. Moreover, L1 mitigates the neuroinflammatory response of the activated microglia during the Aβ-induced inflammation process. Overall, these multifunctional properties of L1 to attenuate the formation of amyloid plaques and associated p-tau aggregates while also reducing the microglia-mediated neuroinflammatory response are quite uncommon among the previously reported amyloid-targeting chemical agents, and thus L1 could be envisioned as a lead compound for the development of novel AD therapeutics.

Evaluation of antioxidant peptides generated from Jiuzao (residue after Baijiu distillation) protein hydrolysates and their effect of enhancing healthy value of Chinese Baijiu. JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2020; 100:59-73. [PMID: 31435933 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.9994] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2019] [Revised: 08/14/2019] [Accepted: 08/14/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Jiuzao is the residue after Bajiu distillation which is usually used as forage for livestock. However, it is not fully utilized yet considering the content of protein remained. The present study aimed to isolate antioxidant peptides from Jiuzao protein hydrolysates, then add these peptides into Baijiu product to enhance the healthy value of Baiju. Meanwhile environmental pollution caused by massive Jiuzao can be mitigated indirectly. RESULTS Four peptides Ala-Tyr-Ile(Leu) (AYI(L)) and Asp-Arg-Glu-Ile(Leu) (DREI(L)) were identified from Jiuzao protein hydrolysates, the extraction contents of AYI + AYL and DREI + DREL were 896.10 and 110.51 mg kg-1 Jiuzao, respectively. On the one hand, antioxidant activities of these peptides were investigated. For in vitro antioxidant assays, AYI, AYL and DREI exhibited strong capacities in oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assay. Furthermore, three levels of four peptides were assessed by 2,2'-azobis(2-methylpropanimidamidine) (AAPH)-induced HepG2 cells model. The results showed that these peptides exerted a degree of antioxidant activities in cells. Meanwhile, selected peptides concentrations according to cell assays remined at effective doses after in vitro digestion. On the other hand, the influence of these four peptides on the characteristic aroma compounds in Baijiu was studied. Most characteristic aroma compounds releases were increased with the addition of peptides. CONCLUSION In the study, antioxidant activities of peptides were evaluated, the feasibility of utilizing Jiuzao protein hydrolysates to obtain beneficial peptides was also proved. Healthy effect of Baijiu or other food can be increased by adding these functional substances. The findings might contribute to food application and Baijiu industries. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.

[PMID: 31264720 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.14693] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2018] [Revised: 05/07/2019] [Accepted: 05/15/2019] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Vanillin, a kind of phenolic compound, is naturally found in food and beverage and widely used as a flavoring agent. In view of the safety and universality of vanillin, exploring the functions of vanillin on human is of great value. Thus, lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated THP-1 cells were selected as the cell model to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of vanillin in this study. On the basis of the results, vanillin markedly suppressed the expression of inflammatory cytokines (that is, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8), mediators (NO, iNOS, PGE2, and COX-2), and NLRP3 inflammasome (that is, NLRP3, ASC, and caspase-1), blocked the LPS-induced activation of the NF-κB/IκBα/AP-1 signaling pathway, and activated the gene expression of the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway. In addition, it was confirmed that vanillin was unable to react with LPS due to the results of quantification by HS-SPME-GC-MS. Hence, vanillin could effectively attenuate LPS-induced inflammatory response by regulating the expression of intracellular signaling pathways in THP-1 cells. It is a potent anti-inflammatory component found in food and beverage. These findings might contribute to the overall understanding of the potential health benefits of vanillin for food application. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: In this study, the anti-inflammatory effect of vanillin (VA) was evaluated by ELISA, real-time PCR, and western blot in LPS-induced THP-1 cells. The hypothesis that VA could react with LPS was excluded due to the results of quantification by HS-SPME-GC-MS. On the basis of the result, vanillin could effectively attenuate LPS-induced inflammatory response in THP-1 cells and was a potent anti-inflammatory component natural in food and beverage. These findings might contribute to the overall understanding of the potential health benefits of vanillin for food application.

Abstract
Jiupei (fermented grains) is the raw material for Baijiu distillation. The antioxidant activities of peptides Val-Asn-Pro (VNP) and Tyr-Gly-Asp (YGD) identified from Jiupei were evaluated according to in vitro chemical assays (e.g., 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, and oxygen radical absorbance capacity) and 2,2'-azobis (2-methylpropionamide)-dihydrochloride-activated HepG2 cell model. The interaction on antioxidant activities between peptides (VNP and YGD) and three functional phenols (4-methylguaiacol, 4-ethylguaiacol, and vanillin) which were found in Baijiu was also measured. On the basis of the results, two peptides exhibited strong antioxidant ability in oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assay. Furthermore, they suppressed the generation of reactive oxygen species. The intracellular antioxidant enzymatic system and nonenzymatic system were also regulated by VNP and YGD. In addition, it was confirmed that partial auxo-action between peptides and phenols appeared mostly in chemical assays. The findings above might indicate that VNP and YGD are potent natural antioxidants in Jiupei even in Baijiu through distillation process and lay the foundation for illustrating the interactions among different functional substances in Baijiu.

Abstract
4-Ethylguaiacol, a common aroma compound of baijiu (a traditional Chinese alcoholic beverage), was assessed for its potential anti-inflammatory effects in an LPS-induced THP-1 cell model. To characterize the effect of 4-ethylguaiacol on the LPS-induced inflammatory response, the mRNA and protein expression of the TLR4-MAPKs-NF-κB-IκBα-AP-1, Nrf2-HO-1, and AMPK-SIRT1 pathways were monitored by ELISA, real-time PCR, and Western blotting. On the basis of the result, 4-ethylguaiacol exerted anti-inflammatory effects at doses of 10, 100, and 500 μM (the concentration of 4-ethylguaiacol in gujinggong baijiu is in the range of 1044 ± 44 to 1661 ± 63 μg/L) and significantly mitigated LPS-induced inflammation via activation of the Nrf2-HO-1 and AMPK-SIRT1 pathways and inhibition of NF-κB and AP-1 activation, thereby markedly inhibiting the activation of inflammasomes and down-regulating the production of inflammatory cytokines. These results indicated that 4-ethylguaiacol could reverse LPS-induced inflammatory responses and is a natural, potent anti-inflammatory component in baijiu.

Abstract
In the present study, fermented grains (Jiupei), the raw material for Baijiu distillation, were used to isolate and identify low molecular weight peptides with angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activities. The methods of peptides extraction from Jiupei are described as follows: ultrasonication, centrifugation and filtration. Peptide purification was performed by ultrafiltration, adsorption on a macroporous resin, gel chromatography and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). HPLC with quadrupole-time-of-flight-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (HPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS) was used to identify the peptides, and the ACE inhibitory activities of the peptides were measured. Finally, the optimum peptide extraction and separation parameters were determined to be a liquid/solid (ultrapure water/Jiupei powder) ratio of 15 mL g-1, extraction temperature of 57 °C and ultrasonication time of 33 min. XAD-16 resin was used for the removal of sugars and salts. Under these conditions, the total yield of peptides extracted was 57.682 mg/1 g Jiupei. The peptides identified were Val-Asn-Pro and Tyr-Gly-Asp. Val-Asn-Pro exhibited some ACE inhibitory activity (IC50 = 38.02 μM), while Tyr-Gly-Asp showed higher ACE inhibitory activity (IC50 = 5.21 μM). These results provide an important foundation for the study of peptides in Jiupei and show a reference for the trace of peptides in Baijiu production.

Abstract
Antioxidant peptides have been widely reported, whereas the intracellular antioxidant activity of a tripeptide (Pro-His-Pro, PHP), which was newly isolated and identified from Chinese Baijiu in our previous study, are still poorly understood. This study investigated the protective effects of PHP on 2,2′-azobis (2-methyl-propanimidamidine) dihydrochloride (AAPH)-induced oxidative stress in HepG2 cells and the involved molecular mechanisms. Pretreatment with PHP suppressed the generations of reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA) and oxidized glutathione (GSSG), prevented a decrease in reduced glutathione (GSH), and up-regulated the activities of cellular antioxidant enzymes. Moreover, PHP treatment stimulated the mRNA and protein expression levels of antioxidant enzymes and nuclear factor E2 related factor 2 (Nrf2). Meanwhile, PHP markedly reduced the level of Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1), suggesting that PHP effectively activated Nrf2/antioxidant response element (ARE)-mediated activity. These findings provide the first molecular basis for the health-promoting effects of PHP to prevent AAPH-induced oxidative stress. PHP up-regulated gene and protein expression levels of intracellular antioxidant enzymes by activation of the Nrf2/ARE pathway in HepG2 cells.![]()

Abstract
Vanillin, 4-methylguaiacol, and 4-ethylguaiacol, three phenolic compounds in Gujinggong (GJG) Chinese baijiu (Chinese liquor), were quantified by liquid–liquid extraction (LLE) combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and evaluated for their possible cytoprotective effects by AAPH-induced HepG2 cell model. To confirm whether vanillin, 4-methylguaiacol, and 4-ethylguaiacol protected HepG2 cells against AAPH-induced abnormal oxidative stress via motivating the Keap1–Nrf2 pathway, the gene and protein expression of Nrf2, Keap1, SOD, CAT, and GPx from the Keap1–Nrf2 pathway were measured with real-time PCR and western blot. Three levels of treatment doses (1000, 500, and 100 mg L−1) were applied. Results showed that vanillin, 4-methylguaiacol, and 4-ethylguaiacol exhibited potent cytoprotective effect in a dose-dependent manner, greatly alleviating or reversing the increased oxidative stress induced by AAPH through up-regulating the mRNA and protein expression levels of Nrf2, SOD, CAT, and GPx, and thereby, significantly improving the intracellular antioxidant defense system in HepG2 cells (p < 0.05). Based on these findings, it was confirmed that vanillin, 4-methylguaiacol, and 4-ethylguaiacol, natural components of Chinese baijiu, were able to modulate the expression of Nrf2 and its downstream antioxidative enzymes (i.e., SOD, CAT, and GPx) against AAPH-induced abnormal oxidative stress. Further, this study lays the foundation for better illustrating the health benefits of Chinese baijiu. Vanillin, 4-methylguaiacol, and 4-ethylguaiacol widely exist in Gujinggong Chinese baijiu and could protect HepG2 cells against oxidative stress via activating the Nrf2 pathway.![]()
