Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 274:133306. [PMID: 38909729 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133306] [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: 04/26/2024] [Revised: 05/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/25/2024]
Abstract
Condensed tannins were isolated from the bark of Ficus altissima and fractionated into four subcomponents on a Sephadex LH-20 column with 60 %, 80 %, 100 % methanol, and 70 % acetone, separately. Their structures were characterized by MALDI-TOF MS coupled with HPLC-ESI-MS and confirmed to be polymers of B-type procyanidin glucosides, procyanidins, and prodelphinidin glucosides. The degree of polymerization (DP) of these polymers was as high as 21, and the mDPs of the four subcomponents were calculated as 2.4, 6.6, 10.5 and 13.4, respectively. They competitively or noncompetitively suppressed the activities of tyrosinase and α-glucosidase through hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interaction. And they also showed a powerful antioxidative activity. Correlation analyses verified that the anti-tyrosinase capacity exhibited a significant positive correlation (R2monophenolase = 0.9167 and R2diphenolase = 0.9302) with mDP within the methanol-water system, and the anti-α-glucosidase activity also showed a significant positive correlation with the mDP (R2 = 0.9187). In contrast, the antioxidant capability showed a significant negative correlation with the mDP (R2DPPH = 0.9258, R2ABTS = 0.9372). This study confirmed that condensed tannins from the bark of F. altissima were desirable anti-tyrosinase, anti-α-glucosidase, and antioxidant agents, and elucidated the relationships of their mDP (molecular weight) and activities, which provided a scientific basis for the comprehensive utilization of these polymers in the food, cosmetics, medicine and other fields.

Abstract
A potential strain, Paenibacillus sp. JNUCC32, was isolated and subjected to whole-genome sequencing. Genome functional annotation revealed its active metabolic capabilities. This study aimed to investigate the pivotal secondary metabolites in the biological system. Fermentation and extraction were performed, resulting in the isolation of seven known compounds: tryptophol (1), 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid (2), ferulic acid (3), maculosin (4), brevianamide F (5), indole-3-acetic acid (6), and butyric acid (7). Tryptophol exhibited favorable pharmacokinetic properties and demonstrated certain tyrosinase inhibitory activity (IC50 = 999 μM). For further analysis of its inhibition mechanism through molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, tryptophol formed three hydrogen bonds and a pro-Michaelis complex with tyrosinase (binding energy = -5.3 kcal/mol). The MD simulation indicated favorable stability for the tryptophol-mushroom tyrosinase complex, primarily governed by hydrogen bond interactions. The crucial residues VAL-283 and HIS-263 in the docking were also validated. This study suggests tryptophol as a potential candidate for antibrowning agents and dermatological research.

Abstract
This study aimed to obtain a high yield and purity of Sargassum pallidum polyphenol extracts (SPPE) and study its enzyme activity. Fresh Sargassum pallidum seaweed was selected for optimization of ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) conditions and purification conditions using macroporous resin and Sephadex LH20 to obtain SPPE. The SPPE was characterized using UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS and α-amylase, α-glucosidase, tyrosinase, and AchE inhibitory activity were determined. The maximum extraction rate of SPPE was 7.56 mg GAE/g and the polyphenol purity reached 70.5% after macroporous resin and Sephadex LH-20 purification. A total of 50 compounds were identified by UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS. The IC50 values of SPPE were 334.9 μg/mL, 6.290 μg /mL, 0.834 mg /mL and 0.6538 mg /mL for α-amylase, α-glucosidase, tyrosinase and AchE, respectively. Molecular docking technology further revealed the effects of SPPE on the above enzymes. This study provided information on the potential hypoglycemic, whitening and anti-Alzheimer's disease biological activities of SPPE, which had guiding significance for the purification and development of other seaweed polyphenols.

Abstract
As a common plant-derived dietary flavonoid, rutin receives widespread attention because of its good antioxidant bioactivities. Protein kinase Cα (PKCα) is a serine/threonine kinase that is involved in uncountable cellular processes, among which ferroptosis, a novel form of cell death, is triggered by lipid peroxidation and has been reported to be associated with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). But it is still not well appreciated how rutin inhibits ferroptosis in PAH and what function PKCα has in this process. In this study, we first observed whether rutin could prevent PAH by attenuating ferroptosis with a PAH animal model and pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) under hypoxia. Mitochondrial metabolomics and network pharmacology were employed to clarify the metabolic alterations and screen target proteins, and the results showed that PKCα was a vital node in rutin regulating mitochondrial metabolism related to ferroptosis in PAH. Based on molecular docking and multispectral analysis, we found that rutin could directly interact with PKCα through hydrogen bonds, which could induce static quenching, and then influence the secondary structure of PKCα. In conclusion, these findings mainly point to a novel mechanism that rutin protects PAH rats by modifying the structure and altering the activity of PKCα, and thus suppressing ferroptosis. This work reveals that the interaction behaviors between small molecules and bio-macromolecules are a critical factor to develop natural biological active ingredients and gives an insight into the potential applications of flavonoids in health and disease.

Abstract
Paeonol, as one effective tyrosinase inhibitor, had been used as food preservative and clinical medication for skin disorders. In this study, the inhibition mechanism and binding behavior of paeonol to tyrosinase and its anti-browning property were investigated using multi-spectroscopic and molecular docking methods. Activity assay and kinetic results confirmed paeonol as a reversible mixed-type tyrosinase inhibitor. Results of the mechanistic studies were clarified using fluorescence quenching, synchronous fluorescence, CD spectra and 3D fluorescence, and showed that the binding of paeonol to tyrosinase might change the chromophore microenvironment and conformation of tyrosinase to inhibit enzyme catalytic activity. Molecular docking results revealed the detailed binding between paeonol and tyrosinase. Moreover, paeonol could prevent the browning of fresh-cut apples, as well as inhibiting PPO and POD activities and increasing APX activity. All above findings established a reliable basis for the inhibitory mechanism of paeonol against tyrosinase and therefore contributed to its application in anti-browning.

Abstract
Recently, natural tyrosinase inhibitors have gained attention in clinical cosmetology research. In this study, the enzymatic hydrolysis of Pinctada martensii meat by protease from Bacillus licheniformis, 401 peptides with tyrosinase inhibitory were identified after isolated by ultrafiltration and Sephadex G-15 from the fraction F4. The peptide effects on the tyrosinase activity and structure were evaluated using molecular docking. Three synthetic peptides classified as W1 (WDRPKDDGGSPIK), W2 (DRGYPPVMF), and W3 (SGGGGGGGLGSGGSIRSSY), which had the lowest binding energies were selected for in vitro synthesis and biological activity investigation. The W3 peptide (5 mg/mL) had the highest tyrosinase activity, SPF, DPPH, and ABTS clearance values, and total antioxidant capacity. W3 did not affect the survival rate of mouse melanoma B16-F10 cells (1.0-5.0 mg/mL) but decreased the melanin content. Hence, W3 could be suitable for multifunctional tyrosinase inhibition and provides a novel method to use marine organisms as natural tyrosinase inhibitor sources.

Abstract
A series of quinazolin-4(3H)-one derivatives was designed through scaffold-hopping strategy and synthesized as novel multifunctional anti-AD agents demonstrating both cholinesterase inhibition and anti-inflammatory activities. Their inhibitory activities against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) were evaluated, and the enzyme kinetics study as well as detailed binding mode via molecular docking were performed for selected compounds. MR2938 (B12) displayed promising AChE inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 5.04 μM and suppressed NO production obviously (IC50 = 3.29 μM). Besides, it was able to decrease the mRNA levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6 and CCL2 at 1.25 μM. Further mechanism study suggested that MR2938 suppressed the neuroinflammation through blocking MAPK/JNK and NF-κB signaling pathways. All these results indicate that MR2938 is a good starting point to develop multifunctional anti-AD lead compounds.

Abstract
This work presents a comparative analysis of the tyrosinase inhibitory effects of five citrus flavonoids, namely hesperetin, hesperidin, neohesperidin, naringenin and naringin. Visbile, fluorescence, and fourier transform infrared (FITR) spectroscopies, and molecular dynamic methods were employed to compare the anti-tyrosinase mechanisms of each flavonoid. Hesperetin, neohesperidin, naringenin and naringin exhibited potent inhibitory activities with IC50 values of 0.74 ± 0.05, 2.19 ± 0.03, 7.50 ± 9.82 and 24.94 ± 8.43 μmol/ml, respectively, all of which were higher than that of kojic acid (0.04 ± 0.02 μmol/ml). The enzymatic kinetics results suggested that hesperetin and naringenin were reversible inhibitors on tyrosinase in the mixed-type manner. H-bond and hydrophobic interactions were found to drive the binding of tyrosinase with hesperetin or naringenin, which subsequently changed the FTIR spectroscopy results by decreasing the α-helix ratio and increasing the β-turn, β-sheet and random coil ratio in tyrosinase. Molecular dynamics simulation not only verified some of the experimental results, but also suggested that the binding of hesperetin and naringenin to tyrosinase was spontaneous. The findings of this study indicate that citrus flavonoids are a promising dietary resource for tyrosinase inhibition. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Hesperetin, hesperidin, neohesperidin, naringenin and naringin were typical citrus flavonoids that have anti-obesity, anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation and anti-diabetes activities. Current study suggested that hesperetin and naringenin were effective reversible inhibitors on tyrosinase in the mixed-type manner. Hesperetin and naringenin might serve as nutritional and chemical agents for regulating the tyrosinase activity to control melanin level in vivo.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a factor with great risk in the course of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) due to its high glucotoxicity and lipotoxicity. Trilobatin, a glycosylated dihydrochalcone derived from the leaves of the Chinese sweet tea Lithocarpus polystachyus Rehd, is reported to possess various pharmacological activities. Nevertheless, it is still unclear regarding if trilobatin can alleviate liver injury in diabetic mice with NAFLD and its mechanism. Our aim was to investigative the protective effects of trilobatin against DM with NAFLD and its mechanism of action. A DM mice model was established by high-fat diet (HFD) feeding with streptozocin (STZ) injections, and treated with trilobatin for 10 weeks. The biochemical results showed that trilobatin restored glucose metabolic disorder and liver function in diabetic mice. The histopathological evaluation revealed that trilobatin improved liver injury by alleviating lipid accumulation and liver fibrosis. Mechanistically, trilobatin decreased expression of NLRP3, p65 NF-κB, cleaved-Caspase-1 and N-GSDMD, as well as the release of IL-18 and IL-1β, leading to a alleviation of inflammation and pyroptosis. Taken together, we determined for the first time found that trilobatin could prevent liver injury in diabetic mice with NAFLD by suppressing NLRP3 inflammasome activation to reduce inflammation and pyroptosis.

Abstract
Abstract
In the current study, polyphenol oxidase (PPO), responsible for enzymatic browning in fruits, was purified from Posof Badele apple (PB) (Malus domestica L.) in two steps as acetone precipitation and affinity chromatography. After purification, the purity of PBPPO was checked by using SDS-PAGE. It was figured out that PBPPO had maximum activity at pH 6.0 and 10 °C and it was stable at pH 5.5 and temperatures of 0–30 °C. Besides, it was determined that Al3+ and Cu2+ metal ions activated the enzyme and the PBPPO was strongly inhibited by ascorbic acid with a Ki constant of 1.67 ± 0.35 µM. Inhibitor-enzyme interactions were examined by molecular docking studies and it was revealed that ascorbic acid had the lowest docking score of −6.54 kcal/mol. We wanted to draw attention to the PB apple, which is red inside as well as outside and very rich in terms of nutrient content.

Abstract
α-Glucosidase is related to the increase in postprandial blood glucose in vivo. Inhibition of α-glucosidase is supposed to be an effective approach to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Trilobatin, a member of the dihydrochalcone family, shows anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic activities. In this study, the inhibitory activity and mechanism of trilobatin on α-glucosidase were investigated using multispectroscopic and molecular docking techniques. The kinetic analysis showed that trilobatin reversibly inhibited α-glucosidase in a noncompetitive-type manner and the value of IC50 was 0.24 ± 0.02 mM. The analysis of fluorescence spectra demonstrated that the formation of the trilobatin-α-glucosidase complex was driven mainly by hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces, resulting in the conformational changes of α-glucosidase. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and circular dichroism (CD) measurements suggested that the interaction could change the micro-environment and conformation of α-glucosidase affected by trilobatin. Molecular docking analysis determined the exact binding sites of trilobatin on α-glucosidase. These results indicated that trilobatin is a strong α-glucosidase inhibitor, thus it could be conducive to ameliorate T2DM.
