Abstract
An injectable hydrogel formulation is developed utilizing low- and high-molecular-weight chitosan (LCH and HCH) incorporated with curcumin and α-tocopherol-loaded liposomes (Lip/Cur+Toc). Cur and Toc releases are delayed within the hydrogels. The injectability of hydrogels is proved via rheological analyses. In vitro studies are conducted using human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) and human gingival fibroblasts (hGFs) to examine the biological performance of the hydrogels toward endodontics and periodontics, respectively. The viability of hDPSCs treated with the hydrogels with Lip/Cur+Toc is the highest till day 14, compared to the neat hydrogels. During odontogenic differentiation tests, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) enzyme activity of hDPSCs is induced in the Cur-containing groups. Biomineralization is enhanced mostly with Lip/Cur+Toc incorporation. The viability of hGFs is the highest in HCH combined with Lip/Cur+Toc while wound healing occurs almost 100% in both (Lip/Cur+Toc@LCH and Lip/Cur+Toc@HCH) after 2 days. Antioxidant activity of Lip/Cur+Toc@LCH on hGFs is significantly the highest among the groups. Antimicrobial tests demonstrate that Lip/Cur+Toc@LCH is more effective against Escherichia coli whereas so is Lip/Cur+Toc@HCH against Staphylococcus aureus. The antimicrobial mechanism of the hydrogels is investigated for the first time through various computational models. LCH and HCH loaded with Lip/Cur+Toc are promising candidates with multi-functional features for endodontics and periodontics.

Abstract
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) has been extensively studied for its diverse pharmacological properties, including its potential role as an anticancer agent, antioxidant, and radioprotector. This review provides an overview of the chemical composition of turmeric, focusing on its main bioactive compounds, such as curcuminoids and volatile oils. Curcumin, the most abundant curcuminoid in turmeric, has been widely investigated for its various biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer effects. Numerous in vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated the ability of curcumin to modulate multiple signaling pathways involved in carcinogenesis, leading to inhibition of cancer cell proliferation, induction of apoptosis, and suppression of metastasis. Furthermore, curcumin has shown promising potential as a radioprotective agent by mitigating radiation-induced oxidative stress and DNA damage. Additionally, turmeric extracts containing curcuminoids have been reported to exhibit potent antioxidant activity, scavenging free radicals and protecting cells from oxidative damage. The multifaceted pharmacological properties of turmeric make it a promising candidate for the development of novel therapeutic strategies for cancer prevention and treatment, as well as for the management of oxidative stress-related disorders. However, further research is warranted to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of action and to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of turmeric and its bioactive constituents in cancer therapy and radioprotection. This review consolidates the most recent relevant data on turmeric's chemical composition and its therapeutic applications, providing a comprehensive overview of its potential in cancer prevention and treatment, as well as in radioprotection.

Antiviral, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of curcumin and curcuminoids in SH-SY5Y cells infected by SARS-CoV-2. Sci Rep 2024; 14:10696.

Abstract
COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, affects neuronal cells, causing several symptoms such as memory loss, anosmia and brain inflammation. Curcuminoids (Me08 e Me23) and curcumin (CUR) are derived from Curcuma Longa extract (EXT). Many therapeutic actions have been linked to these compounds, including antiviral action. Given the severe implications of COVID-19, especially within the central nervous system, our study aims to shed light on the therapeutic potential of curcuminoids against SARS-CoV-2 infection, particularly in neuronal cells. Here, we investigated the effects of CUR, EXT, Me08 and Me23 in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y. We observed that Me23 significantly decreased the expression of plasma membrane-associated transmembrane protease serine 2 (TMPRSS2) and TMPRSS11D, consequently mitigating the elevated ROS levels induced by SARS-CoV-2. Furthermore, Me23 exhibited antioxidative properties by increasing NRF2 gene expression and restoring NQO1 activity following SARS-CoV-2 infection. Both Me08 and Me23 effectively reduced SARS-CoV-2 replication in SH-SY5Y cells overexpressing ACE2 (SH-ACE2). Additionally, all of these compounds demonstrated the ability to decrease proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-17, while Me08 specifically reduced INF-γ levels. Our findings suggest that curcuminoid Me23 could serve as a potential agent for mitigating the impact of COVID-19, particularly within the context of central nervous system involvement.

Abstract
Lysine-rich rice bran protein (RBP) can be used as raw material for alkylation modification to improve the self-assembly performance of protein. The results of 1H NMR, degree of alkylation, and DSC analysis showed that the alkyl chain was successfully attached to the RBP. The surface hydrophobicity and absolute ζ-potential increased. The three-dimensional structure of the alkylated RBP (ARBP) become more porous and ARBP-2 was selected as the material for embedding curcumin. The XRD results revealed that curcumin induced self-aggregation of ARBP-2 and the inclusion of curcumin was attained. The maximum encapsulation efficiency of curcumin was 82.67 % and the maximum loading amount was 171.37 g/100 g RBP. The results of atomic force microscopy (AFM), particle size, and polydispersity index (PDI) analyses revealed that the particles in the system were aggregated after curcumin was added. Curcumin was well protected by encapsulation in the self-assembled particles. Thus, this study provides a new strategy for the embedding and delivery of curcumin.

Abstract
Curcumin is a key constituent of turmeric with a variety of biological activities. From a chemical point of view, curcumin contains different functional groups that can undergo multiple transformations such as Michael addition, cycloaddition, click reaction, polymerisation, etc. Among these, Michael-type reactions under benign conditions constitute a captivating domain of curcumin's reactivity. To the best of our knowledge, no review focusing on the Michael donor-acceptor reactivity of curcumins has been published to date. Herein, we have compiled the chemistry of curcumins with respect to their chemical synthesis, biosynthesis, and involvement in chemical transformations, especially in Michael additions with advances in mechanistic aspects and understanding.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a global health threat due to its high morbidity and mortality. There is still a lack of effective therapeutic methods to deal with AKI clinically. Natural products with outstanding accessibility and bioactivity are potential candidates for AKI treatment. Natural product-based prodrugs or nano-structures with improved properties are frequently fabricated for maximizing bioavailability and decreasing side effects, in which natural polymers are selected as carriers, or natural drugs are loaded as cargos on designed polymers. In this review, the etiologies of AKI are briefly presented, and emerging natural products delivered rationally for AKI therapy, as either carriers or cargos, are both introduced. Moreover, the challenges of the future development of nature-based nanodrugs or prodrugs for AKI have also been discussed.

Abstract
In recent years, numerous researchers have made local chemical modifications to the structure of curcumin while its basic structure remains unchanged, thus, producing curcumin derivatives. In this article, tetrahydrocurcumin was obtained by hydrogenation of curcumin, DFT calculation and characterization at the theoretical level of B3LYP/6 -311++G(d,p) were carried out. The observed IR and Raman spectra are in good agreement with the theoretical spectra. The FMO and ESP of tetrahydrocurcumin are predicted. The interaction in the system is shown graphically and analyzed by IGMH. Compared with curcumin, tetrahydrocurcumin lacks the unsaturated C = C bond, which makes it more stable and more bioavailable. Molecular docking with antioxidant targets elucidated the ligand-protein interaction and molecular dynamics simulation showed the antioxidant activity of tetrahydrocurcumin. The antioxidant activity of tetrahydrocurcumin was proved by DPPH• and •OH radical scavenging experiments. In essence, these derivatives exhibit enhanced physiological activity in certain aspects compared to the original curcumin. Moreover, the computational pharmacology techniques lay a theoretical groundwork for the development and modification of high-efficiency, low-toxicity drugs that interface with various targets of curcumin in the future.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
Mango ginger (MG) exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antihyperglycemic effects; however, the exact mechanism of action of MG extract in relation to its antidiabetic properties remains unclear. To investigate the potential antidiabetic effect of MG extract, we used a high-fat diet (HFD)/low-dose streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type 2 diabetic rat model. A total of 28 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: (i) Control, (ii) MG (50 mg/kg/day of MG extract), (iii) HFD + STZ (40 mg/kg i.p.), and (iv) HFD + STZ + MG. Following a 12-week administration of MG extract, significant reductions were observed in serum glucose, insulin, free fatty acid, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels in diabetic rats (p < .0001 for all). MG extract supplementation led to an increase in the total antioxidant capacity of the serum and a decrease in malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in both the serum and liver (p < .0001). Furthermore, hepatocellular fat accumulation was partially attenuated in the HFD + STZ + MG group. Notably, MG extract inhibited glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) in the liver (p < .01) and downregulated Fyn expression, resulting in elevated nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) activity in the HFD + STZ + MG group compared to the HFD + STZ group (p < .05). The increased activity of Nrf2 in the HFD + STZ + MG group likely promoted the upregulation of heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) in the liver (p < .0001). In conclusion, MG extract may exert antidiabetic effects by augmenting the antioxidant defense system through the regulation of GSK-3β/Fyn/Nrf2 in a rat model of type 2 diabetes.

Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:pharmaceutics15051344. [PMID: 37242586 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15051344] [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: 02/22/2023] [Revised: 04/13/2023] [Accepted: 04/24/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Curcumin has numerous biological activities and pharmaceutical applications related to its ability to inhibit reactive oxygen species. Herein, strontium-substituted monetite (SrDCPA) and strontium-substituted brushite (SrDCPD) were synthesized and further functionalized with curcumin with the aim to develop materials that combine the anti-oxidant properties of the polyphenol, the beneficial role of strontium toward bone tissue, and the bioactivity of calcium phosphates. Adsorption from hydroalcoholic solution increases with time and curcumin concentration, up to about 5-6 wt%, without affecting the crystal structure, morphology, and mechanical response of the substrates. The multi-functionalized substrates exhibit a relevant radical scavenging activity and a sustained release in phosphate buffer. Cell viability, morphology, and expression of the most representative genes were tested for osteoclast seeded in direct contact with the materials and for osteoblast/osteoclast co-cultures. The materials at relatively low curcumin content (2-3 wt%) maintain inhibitory effects on osteoclasts and support the colonization and viability of osteoblasts. The expressions of Alkaline Phosphatase (ALPL), collagen type I alpha 1 chain (COL1A1), and osteocalcin (BGLAP) suggest that curcumin reduces the osteoblast differentiation state but yields encouraging osteoprotegerin/receptor activator for the NFkB factor ligand (OPG/RANKL) ratio.

Abstract
Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS) is a rare disorder caused by a recurrent microdeletion with hallmarks of cardiovascular manifestations, mainly supra-valvular aortic stenosis (SVAS). Unfortunately, there is currently no efficient treatment. We investigated the effect of chronic oral treatment with curcumin and verapamil on the cardiovascular phenotype of a murine model of WBS harbouring a similar deletion, CD (complete deletion) mice. We analysed systolic blood pressure in vivo and the histopathology of the ascending aorta and the left ventricular myocardium to determine the effects of treatments and their underlying mechanism. Molecular analysis showed significantly upregulated xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) expression in the aorta and left ventricular myocardium of CD mice. This overexpression is concomitant with increased levels of nitrated proteins as a result of byproduct-mediated oxidative stress damage, indicating that XOR-generated oxidative stress impacts the pathophysiology of cardiovascular manifestations in WBS. Only the combined therapy of curcumin and verapamil resulted in a significant improvement of cardiovascular parameters via activation of the nuclear factor erythroid 2 (NRF2) and reduction of XOR and nitrated protein levels. Our data suggested that the inhibition of XOR and oxidative stress damage could help prevent the severe cardiovascular injuries of this disorder.

Abstract
In this Perspective, we outline the essential physicochemical aspects that need to be considered when building a reliable approach to describe absorption properties of solvated systems. In particular, we focus on how to properly model the complexity of the solvation phenomenon, arising from dynamical aspects and specific, strong solute-solvent interactions. To this end, conformational and configurational sampling techniques, such as Molecular Dynamics, have to be coupled to accurate fully atomistic Quantum Mechanical/Molecular Mechanics (QM/MM) methodologies. By exploiting different illustrative applications, we show that an effective reproduction of experimental spectral signals can be achieved by delicately balancing exhaustive sampling, hydrogen bonding, mutual polarization, and nonelectrostatic effects.

Abstract
Two new sesquiterpenoids, curcumanes E (1) and F (2), were isolated from the rhizome of Curcuma longa, and their structures and absolute configurations were examined using extensive spectroscopic analyses and ECD calculations. Interestingly, compounds 1 and 2 are diastereoisomers possessing a rare sesquiterpenoid skeleton that has been reported only once before. Both curcumanes E and F exhibit significant vasorelaxant effects against KCl-induced contraction of rat aortic rings, with EC50 values of 5.10 ± 0.79 and 5.58 ± 1.77 μM, respectively. These findings enrich the data concerning this rare type of sesquiterpenoids and further indicate that these rare sesquiterpenoids can effectively reduce blood pressure.

Abstract
The Zingiberaceae family is a rich source of diverse bioactive phytochemicals. It comprises about 52 genera and 1300 species of aromatic flowering perennial herbs with characteristic creeping horizontal or tuberous rhizomes. Notable members of this family include ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe), turmeric (Curcuma longa L.), Javanese ginger (Curcuma zanthorrhiza Roxb.), and Thai ginger (Alpinia galanga L.). This review focuses on two main classes of bioactive compounds: the gingerols (and their derivatives) and the curcuminoids. These compounds are known for their antioxidant activity against several maladies. We highlight the centrality of their antioxidant activities with notable biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, hepatoprotective, neuroprotective, antimicrobial, and anticancer effects. We also outline various strategies that have been applied to enhance these activities and make suggestions for research areas that require attention.

Abstract
Specific S477N, N501Y, K417N, K417T, E484K mutations in the receptor binding domain (RBD) of the spike protein in the wild type SARS-COV-2 virus have resulted, among others, in the following variants: B.1.160 (20A or EU2, first reported in continental Europe), B1.1.7 (α or 20I501Y.V1, first reported in the United Kingdom), B.1.351 (β or 20H/501Y.V2, first reported in South Africa), B.1.1.28.1 (γ or P.1 or 20J/501Y.V3, first reported in Brazil), and B.1.1.28.2 (ζ, or P.2 or 20B/S484K, also first reported in Brazil). From the analysis of a set of bonding descriptors firmly rooted in the formalism of quantum mechanics, including Natural Bond Orbitals (NBO), Quantum Theory of Atoms In Molecules (QTAIM) and highly correlated energies within the Domain Based Local Pair Natural Orbital Coupled Cluster Method (DLPNO-CCSD(T)), and from a set of computed electronic spectral patterns with environmental effects, we show that the new variants improve their ability to recognize available sites to either hydrogen bond or to form salt bridges with residues in the ACE2 receptor of the host cells. This results in significantly improved initial virus⋅⋅⋅cell molecular recognition and attachment at the microscopic level, which trigger the infectious cycle.

Abstract
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a spice that has been used for a long time in traditional medicine for its anti-inflammatory properties and recently used in the food industry for its dyeing and flavoring properties. This work studied the effect of different drying methods (convection oven drying, fluidized bed drying, and traditional solar drying) on the quality of Curcuma longa powder. The effect of UV radiation on turmeric powder using different packaging materials (glass, aluminum foil bag, and low-density polyethylene bag), was also studied. Subsequently, the fluidized bed drying method was used to evaluate the effect of drying temperature. The results show that convection and fluidized bed drying had no significant impact on turmeric quality. However, solar drying degraded curcuminoids by 36.5% and the ORAC value decreased by 14%. Regarding the packaging materials, the aluminum bag prevented the deterioration of 14% of the curcuminoids for the powder exposed to UV radiation. Finally, the effect of temperature on fluidized bed drying was evaluated at 50–80 °C, finding that there were no significant differences in the curcuminoid content and antioxidant capacity of turmeric powder. This implies that the range of temperature used in this study is appropriate for drying this material using fluidized bed drying, producing a turmeric powder with a high content of bioactive compounds, when compared to convection oven and solar drying. Therefore, the turmeric powder obtained in this way can be used as an active ingredient in the formulation of different kinds of foods and supplements.

Abstract
High level DLPNO−CCSD(T) electronic structure calculations with extended basis sets over B3LYP−D3 optimized geometries indicate that the three methyl groups in caffeine overcome steric hindrance to adopt uncommon conformations, each one placing a C−H bond on the same plane of the aromatic system, leading to the C−H bonds eclipsing one carbonyl group, one heavily delocalized C−N bond constituent of the fused double ring aromatic system, and one C−H bond from the imidazole ring. Deletion of indiscriminate and selective non-Lewis orbitals unequivocally show that hyperconjugation in the form of a bidirectional −CH3 ⇆ aromatic system charge transfer is responsible for these puzzling conformations. The structural preferences in caffeine are exclusively determined by orbital interactions, ruling out electrostatics, induction, bond critical points, and density redistribution because the steric effect, the allylic effect, the Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules (QTAIM), and the non-covalent interactions (NCI), all predict wrong energetic orderings. Tiny rotational barriers, not exceeding 1.3 kcal/mol suggest that at room conditions, each methyl group either acts as a free rotor or adopts fluxional behavior, thus preventing accurate determination of their conformations. In this context, our results supersede current experimental ambiguity in the assignation of methyl conformation in caffeine and, more generally, in methylated xanthines and their derivatives.

Abstract
Curcumin (CUR) shows great potential in the management of alcohol-use disorders. However, the hydrophobicity and poor oral bioavailability result in the limited therapeutic efficacy of CUR against alcohol-induced tissue injury. Here, self-assembled Soluplus® micelles (Ms) were developed for the enhanced oral delivery of CUR. CUR-loaded Soluplus® micelles (CUR-Ms) were prepared using a thin-film hydration method and these micelles displayed nearly spherical shape with an average size of 62.80 ± 1.29 nm. CUR in micelles showed the greater stability, solubility and dissolution than free CUR. With the increased water solubility of CUR-Ms and P glycoprotein inhibition of Soluplus®, the absorption rate constant (Ka) and apparent permeability coefficient (Papp) of CUR-Ms in intestines was respectively 3.50 and 4.10 times higher than that of free CUR. Pharmacokinetic studies showed that CUR-Ms significantly improved the oral bioavailability of CUR. Specifically, the AUC0-∞ and Cmax of CUR-Ms were increased by 9.45 and 47.38 folds compared to free CUR, respectively. In mice with alcohol-induced tissue injury, the oral administration of CUR-Ms greatly reduced oxidative stress, and significantly defended liver and gastric mucosa from alcoholic damages. The results demonstrated CUR-Ms with good oral bioavailability could represent a promising strategy for the management of alcohol-induced tissue injury.

Abstract
The chemical behavior of Curcumin and its derivatives as antioxidant and metal chelator has become the subject of intense experimental research. In this work, a theoretical study was conducted with the aim to investigate whether the acetylation of the aromatic group in Curcumin, which makes it more lipophilic, will alter its biological activities. Also, we selected from the literature metal complexes of Curcumin and its diacetylated derivative with Ga(III) and In(III), in order to discriminate the molecular active sites of the investigated molecules in which the oxidative process occurs and to obtain information about their antioxidation mechanisms. The geometrical structures and electronic properties of these compounds have been obtained using the density functional theory (DFT) method, known for its accurate results. As our other objective is to understand the factors driving biological behavior of all the studied compounds as well as the impact of the metal complexation of Curcumin and its diacetylated derivative, we provided here evidences to explain experimental observations from a molecular reactivity perspective.

However, the methods for the quantification of intramolecular HB (IHB) energy available in the literature are mostly empirical or indirect and limited only to evaluating the energy of a single HB. During the past decade, the authors have developed a direct procedure for the IHB energy estimation based on the molecular tailoring approach (MTA), a fragmentation method. This MTA-based method can yield a reliable estimate of individual IHB energy in a system containing multiple H-bonds. After explaining and illustrating the methodology of MTA, we present its use for the IHB energy estimation in molecules and clusters. We also discuss the use of this method by other researchers as a standard, state-of-the-art method for estimating IHB energy as well as those of other noncovalent interactions.

Abstract
Male sterility is an important agronomic trait for hybrid vigor utilization and hybrid seed production, but its underlying mechanisms remain to be uncovered. Here, we investigated the mechanisms of male sterility in peach using a combined cytology, physiology, and molecular approach. Cytological features of male sterility include deformed microspores and tapetum cells along with absence of pollen grains. Microspores had smaller nucleus at the mononuclear stage and were compressed into belts and subsequently disappeared in the anther cavity, whereas tapetum cells were swollen and vacuolated, with a delayed degradation to flowering time. Male sterile anthers had an ROS burst and lower levels of major antioxidants, which may cause abnormal development of microspores and tapetum, leading to male sterility in peach. In addition, the male sterility appears to be cytoplasmic in peach, which could be due to sequence variation in the mitochondrial genome. Our results are helpful for further investigation of the genetic mechanisms underlying male sterility in peach.

Abstract
Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) lesions are inflammatory painful oral ulcers with uncertain etiology. Curcumin acts as an effective anti-inflammatory and antibacterial agent in the treatment of various oral diseases. This systematic review aimed to assess the effects of curcumin on RAS. A systematic search of the medical databases, PubMed, Scopus, ISI, Science Direct, and Google Scholar was performed up to March 30, 2020, to identify clinical trials assessing the effect of curcumin on aphthous ulcers. Nine studies comprising of 469 participants met all criteria and were analyzed. Treatment with curcumin significantly reduced aphthous ulcer size (seven studies), pain intensity (eight studies), number of aphthous ulcers (three studies), erythematous halo (one study), and erythema and exudate of the aphthous (one study). In four studies, the effect of curcumin on aphthous ulcer was assessed in comparison to the effects of the standard medication, triamcinolone. In all of these studies, curcumin had similar beneficial effects on the aphthous ulcer as measured by ulcer size, number, and pain. Only three studies were categorized as high quality using the Jadad scale. Within the limitations of this review, it can be concluded that curcumin may have a beneficial role in the treatment of recurrent aphthous ulcers. However, more randomized clinical trials are needed to validate these findings.

Abstract
Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a brain injury caused by perinatal asphyxia and is the main cause of neonatal death and chronic neurological diseases. Protection of neuron after hypoxic-ischemic (HI) brain injury is considered as a potential therapeutic target of HI brain injury. To date, there are no effective medicines for neonatal HI brain injury. Lycopene (Lyc), a member of the carotenoids family, has been reported to have anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory effects. However, its effects and potential mechanisms in HI brain injury have not yet to be systematically evaluated. In this study, we investigated whether Lyc could ameliorate HI brain injury and explored the associated mechanism both in vivo and in vitro experiments. In vivo study, Lyc significantly reduced infarct volume and ameliorated cerebral edema, decreased inflammatory response, promoted the recovery of tissue structure, and improved prognosis following HI brain injury. In vitro study, results showed that Lyc reduced expression of apoptosis mediators in oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD)-induced primary cortical neurons. Mechanistically, we found that Lyc-induced Nrf2/NF-κB pathway could partially reversed by Brusatol (an Nrf2 inhibitor), indicated that the Nrf2/NF-κB pathway was involved in the therapy of Lyc. In summary, our findings indicate that Lyc can attenuated HI brain injury in vivo and OGD-induced apoptosis of primary cortical neurons in vitro through the Nrf2/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Abstract
All reaction steps during the biosynthesis of suicidal clavulanic acid (coformulated with β-lactam antibiotics and used to fight bacterial infections) are known, except for the crucial 3S,5S → 3R,5R double epimerization needed to produce a biologically active stereoisomer, for which mechanistic hypothesis is subject to debate. In this work, we provide evidence for a reaction channel for the double inversion of configuration that involves a total of six reaction steps. When mediated by an enzyme with a terminal S-H bond, this highly complex reaction is spontaneous in the absence of solvents. Polarizable continuum models introduce reaction barriers in aqueous environments because of the strong destabilization of the first transition state. Molecular geometries and electronic structures in both cases indicate that solvent-free spontaneity and aqueous medium barriers are both firmly rooted in a substantial reorganization of the electron density right at the onset of the reaction, mostly involving a cyclic evolution/involution of large regions of π delocalization used to stabilize the excess charge left after the initial proton abstraction.

Abstract
A novel polymer of poloxamer188-b-PCL was synthesized via a ring-opening polymerization. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman, and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectra were used to study the structures of obtained poloxamer188-b-PCL. The thermo-stability of poloxamer188 -b-PCL was carried out with a thermal gravimetric analyzer (TGA), and cytotoxicity was obtained using the CCK8 method. Cargo-free and curcumin (CUR)-loaded poloxamer188-b-PCL NPs were fabricated via the solvent evaporation method. The morphology, particle size distribution, and stability of cargo-free NPs were studied with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and laser particle analyzer. The in vitro radioprotection activity of CUR-loaded NPs was performed. FTIR, Raman, and 1H NMR spectra confirmed that poloxamer188-b-PCL was obtained. TGA curves suggested poloxamer188-b-PCL had better thermo-stability than original poloxamer188. Cell tests suggested that the cargo-free NPs had no cytotoxicity. SEM image showed that the cargo-free NPs were spherical with a diameter of 100 nm. Free radical scavenging experiments proved that CUR-loaded NPs had better antioxidant activity than CUR solutions. CUR-loaded NPs could be detected in all tissues, including liver, kidneys and lung. In summary, this work demonstrated a feasibility of developing an injective formulation of CUR and provided a protection agent in caner radiotherapy.

Anti-allodynic effect induced by curcumin in neuropathic rat is mediated through the NO-cyclic-GMP-ATP sensitive K + channels pathway. BMC Complement Med Ther 2020; 20:83.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies pointed up that curcumin produces an anti-nociceptive effect in inflammatory and neuropathic pain. However, the possible mechanisms of action that underline the anti-allodynic effect induced by curcumin are not yet established. The purpose of this study was to determine the possible anti-allodynic effect of curcumin in rats with L5-L6 spinal nerve ligation (SNL). Furthermore, we study the possible participation of the NO-cyclic GMP-ATP-sensitive K+ channels pathway in the anti-allodynic effect induced by curcumin. METHODS Tactile allodynia was measured using von Frey filaments by the up-down method in female Wistar rats subjected to SNL model of neuropathic pain. RESULTS Intrathecal and oral administration of curcumin prevented, in a dose-dependent fashion, SNL-induced tactile allodynia. The anti-allodynic effect induced by curcumin was prevented by the intrathecal administration of L-NAME (100 μg/rat, a non-selective nitric oxide synthase inhibitor), ODQ (10 μg/rat, an inhibitor of guanylate-cyclase), and glibenclamide (50 μg/rat, channel blocker of ATP-sensitive K+ channels). CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that the anti-allodynic effect induced by curcumin is mediated, at least in part, by the NO-cyclic GMP-ATP-sensitive K+ channels pathway in the SNL model of neuropathic pain in rats.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a critical hindrance to the success of cancer chemotherapy. The main thing responsible for MDR phenotypes are plasma-membranes associated with adenosine triphosphate (ATP) Binding Cassette (ABC) drug efflux transporters, such as the P-glycoprotein (Pgp) transporter that has the broadest spectrum of substrates. Curcumin (CURC) is a Pgp inhibitor, but it is poorly soluble and bioavailable. To overcome these limitations, we validated the efficacy and safety of CURC, loaded in biocompatible solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs), with or without chitosan coating, with the goal of increasing the stability, homogeneous water dispersibility, and cellular uptake. Both CURC-loaded SLNs were 5–10-fold more effective than free CURC in increasing the intracellular retention and toxicity of doxorubicin in Pgp-expressing triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). The effect was due to the decrease of intracellular reactive oxygen species, consequent inhibition of the Akt/IKKα-β/NF-kB axis, and reduced transcriptional activation of the Pgp promoter by p65/p50 NF-kB. CURC-loaded SLNs also effectively rescued the sensitivity to doxorubicin against drug-resistant TNBC tumors, without signs of systemic toxicity. These results suggest that the combination therapy, based on CURC-loaded SLNs and doxorubicin, is an effective and safe approach to overcome the Pgp-mediated chemoresistance in TNBC.

Abstract
This research presents the results of the proximal analysis of turmeric rhizome flour (Curcuma longa) from different areas of Valle del Cauca (Colombia) and the quantitative estimation of the uptake of the radical 2,2-diphenyl-1-Picrylhydrazyl (DDPH) of the methanolic extracts of the flour. The results of the proximal analysis evidence that some parameters do not show evident differences. However, others, such as total fat, show differences between the turmeric crops with conventional and agroecological fertilization. The values obtained from the different samples for proteins and carbohydrates are in an average normal range (9.3% and 70.5%, respectively), which fulfills the requirement to be a nutritional supplement. The free radical uptake (FRS) test of the extracts showed an antioxidant activity of the different samples tested for FRS50 (%) of 2.11 ± 0.06 µg / mL (Yumbillo, Y), 1.34 ± 0.26 µg / mL (Guacas, G), 4.22 ± 0.06 µg / mL (Magdalena, M), 9.16 ± 0.32 µg / mL (Commercial, C), 1.29 ± 0.26 µg / mL (Santa Rosa de Tapias, SR), and 1.33 ± 0.05 µg / mL (Limonar, L), which were contrasted with the values of quercetin (Q) 1.01 ± 0.51 µg / mL, vitamin C (V) 2.07 ± 0.45 µg / mL, and piperine (P ) (0,0) µg / mL. The proximal nutritional value plus the oxidizing activity, due to the concentration of phenolic compounds, make turmeric flour a functional food.

Abstract
Many diseases have been regarded to correlate with the in vivo oxidative damages, which are caused by overproduced free radicals from metabolic process or reactive oxygen species (ROS). This background motivates chemists to explore free radical reactions and to design a number of antioxidants, but whether free radical chemistry can be applied to accelerate the efficacy of the drug discovery is still underrepresented. Herein, in light of recent findings as well as kinetics on free radical reaction, the discipline of free radical chemistry is introduced to be a novel tool for finding potential drugs from antioxidant libraries accumulated during the study on free radical chemistry. These antioxidants provide with such abundant types of structural skeleton that might be employed to inhibit oxidations in different biological microenvironments. Although the in vitro characterization on the antioxidative property exerts a potential role of an antioxidant as a prodrug, the in vivo investigation on the property for quenching free radicals will make a final decision for the antioxidant whether it is worthy to be further explored pharmacologically. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that bridging free radical chemistry with the pharmacological research will provide with a succinct way for finding novel drugs efficiently.

Curcumin combined with metformin decreases glycemia and dyslipidemia, and increases paraoxonase activity in diabetic rats. Diabetol Metab Syndr 2019; 11:33. [PMID: 31061679 PMCID: PMC6492331 DOI: 10.1186/s13098-019-0431-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2019] [Accepted: 04/20/2019] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Combination of current antidiabetic agents with natural antioxidants to manage diabetes mellitus and its complications has appeared as an emerging trend. Curcumin, a yellow pigment isolated from Curcuma longa rhizomes, has gained attention due to its beneficial effects in controlling the disturbances observed in diabetes mellitus. The purpose of this study was to investigate if yoghurt enriched with curcumin and metformin, individually or as mixtures, ameliorates physiometabolic parameters, glycoxidative stress biomarkers, and paraoxonase 1 (PON 1) activity in diabetic rats. METHODS Streptozotocin-diabetic rats (6-week-old Wistar rats) were treated for 30 days with curcumin and metformin, isolated or as mixtures in yoghurt (10 rats/group). After treatments, the plasma levels of glucose, triacylglycerol, cholesterol, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS, a biomarker of lipid oxidation), fluorescent advanced glycation end products (AGEs), and the activity of PON 1, an antioxidant enzyme were assessed. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Student-Newman-Keuls test. RESULTS Treatment of diabetic rats with curcumin or metformin alone decreased the plasma levels of glucose, triacylglycerol, cholesterol, TBARS, and fluorescent AGEs, as well as increased the activity of PON 1. The combination of metformin with curcumin further decreased dyslipidemia and TBARS levels in diabetic rats, indicating synergy, and maintained the high levels of PON 1. CONCLUSION These findings indicated that curcumin combined with metformin may act synergistically on dyslipidemia and oxidative stress, as well as increased PON 1 levels. Therefore, it might be a promising strategy for combating diabetic complications, mainly the cardiovascular events.
