Abstract
Enzymes are one of the most powerful tools in organic Green Chemistry and enzymatic reactions offer numerous advantages like regio- and enantio-selectivity along with their eco-friendly and sustainable nature. More specifically, lipases can catalyse both ester hydrolysis and formation depending on the nature of the substrate and water content. Herein, the focus is on the development of an enzymatically catalysed lipophilisation of natural compounds using lipases of microbial origin and the investigation of the optimal reaction conditions, aiming ultimately to ameliorate the compounds' properties. The flavonoid disaccharide rutin (quercetin-3-O-rutinoside) was the model compound on which the acylation protocol was built, allowing an efficient procedure to be established, while simultaneously offering the possibility of developing rapid, clear and robust methodologies, using state-of-the-art techniques, for analysis and purification of the synthesized compounds. An optimal 72 h reaction at 55 °C, using Candida antarctica lipase B immobilized on acrylic resin, combined with silicon dioxide as dehydrating agent, followed by product purification, achieved conversion ratios up to 50%. Full characterization and evaluation of the physicochemical and antioxidant properties of the esterified compounds was obtained. The lipophilicity of the rutin esters produced increased with increasing alkyl chain length, yet antioxidant properties were unaffected in comparison with the parent compound. A preparatively useful acylation protocol was established, allowing full investigation into the properties of the acylated compounds. It is also applicable for use on mixtures of compounds as most natural products are found in nature in mixtures and such a development greatly enhances the potential of this method for future commercial applications.

Abstract
Small molecule kinase inhibitors (SMKIs) are of heightened interest in the field of drug research and development. There are 79 (as of July 2023) small molecule kinase inhibitors that have been approved by the FDA and hundreds of kinase inhibitor candidates in clinical trials that have shed light on the treatment of some major diseases. As an important strategy in drug design, computer-aided drug design (CADD) plays an indispensable role in the discovery of SMKIs. CADD methods such as docking, molecular dynamic, quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics, pharmacophore, virtual screening, and quantitative structure-activity relationship have been applied to the design and optimization of small molecule kinase inhibitors. In this review, we provide an overview of recent advances in CADD and SMKIs and the application of CADD in the discovery of SMKIs.

Effects of Rheum rhaponticum and Rheum rhabarbarum extracts on haemostatic activity of blood plasma components and endothelial cells in vitro. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2023:116562. [PMID: 37201663 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2023.116562] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2023] [Revised: 04/25/2023] [Accepted: 04/28/2023] [Indexed: 05/20/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Traditional medicine recommends the use of Rheum rhaponticum L. and R. rhabarbarum L. to treat over thirty complaints, including disorders related to the cardiovascular system such as heartache, pains in the pericardium, epistaxis and other types of haemorrhage, blood purification as well as disorders of venous circulation. AIM OF THE STUDY This work was dedicated to examining for the first time the effects of extracts from petioles and roots of R. rhaponticum and R. rhabarbarum, as well as two stilbene compounds (rhapontigenin and rhaponticin) on the haemostatic activity of endothelial cells and functionality of blood plasma components of the haemostatic system. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was based on three main experimental modules, including the activity of proteins of the human blood plasma coagulation cascade and the fibrinolytic system as well as analyses of the haemostatic activity of human vascular endothelial cells. Additionally, interactions of the main components of the rhubarb extracts with crucial serine proteases of the coagulation cascade and fibrinolysis (i.e. thrombin, the coagulation factor Xa and plasmin) were analyzed in silico. RESULTS The examined extracts displayed anticoagulant properties and significantly reduced the tissue factor-induced clotting of human blood plasma (by about 40%). Inhibitory effects of the tested extracts on thrombin and the coagulation factor Xa (FXa) were found as well. For the extracts, the IC50 was ranging from 20.26 to 48.11 μg/ml. Modulatory effects on the haemostatic response of endothelial cells, including the release of von Willebrand factor, tissue-type plasminogen activator and the plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, have been also found. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicated for the first time that the examined Rheum extracts influenced the haemostatic properties of blood plasma proteins and endothelial cells, with the prevalence of the anticoagulant action. The anticoagulant effect of the investigated extracts may be partly attributed to the inhibition of the FXa and thrombin activities, the key serine proteases of the blood coagulation cascade.

Abstract
Functionality of the fibrinolytic system is based on activity of its central enzyme, plasmin, responsible for the removal of fibrin clots. Besides the hemostasis, fibrinolytic proteins are also involved in many other physiological and pathological processes, including immune response, extracellular matrix degradation, cell migration, and tissue remodeling. Both the impaired and enhanced activity of fibrinolytic proteins may result in serious physiological consequences: prothrombotic state or excessive bleeding, respectively. However, current medicine offers very few options for treating fibrinolytic disorders, particularly in the case of plasmin inhibition. Although numerous attempts have been undertaken to identify natural or to develop engineered fibrinolytic system modulators, structural similarities within serine proteases of the hemostatic system and pleiotropic activity of fibrinolytic proteins constitute a serious problem in discovering anti- or profibrinolytic agents that could precisely affect the target molecules and reduce the risk of side effects. Therefore, this review aims to present a current knowledge of various classes of natural inhibitors and stimulators of the fibrinolytic system being well-defined low-molecular plant secondary metabolites or constituents of plant extracts as well as plant peptides. This work also discusses obstacles caused by low specificity of most of natural compounds and, hence, outlines recent trends in studies aimed at finding more efficient modulators of plasmin activity, including investigation of modifications of natural pharmacophore templates.

Abstract
Naringin, one of the citrus flavonoids and known as a natural antioxidant, has limited bioavailability owing to its low stability and solubility. However, naringin esters formed via acylation have recently been reported to possess improved physical and chemical properties. The development of these compounds has a great potential in the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries, but low conversion and productivity are barriers to industrial applications. This study aimed to improve the conversion of naringin acetate, which is formed via the enzymatic reaction between naringin and an acyl donor. An optimal reaction condition was determined by evaluating the effect of various variables (enzyme type, enzyme concentration, acyl donor, molar ratio of reactants, reaction temperature, and solvent) on the synthesis of naringin acetate. The optimal condition was as follows: 3 g/L of Lipozyme TL IM, molar ratio of 1:5 (naringin:acyl donor), reaction temperature of 40 °C, and acetonitrile as the reaction solvent. Under this condition, the maximum conversion to naringin acetate from acetic anhydride and vinyl acetate was achieved at approximately 98.5% (8 h) and 97.5% (24 h), respectively. Compared to the previously reported values, a high conversion was achieved within a short time, confirming the commercial potential of the process.

Abstract
Sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) maintains the level of calcium concentration in cells by pumping calcium ions from the cytoplasm to the lumen while undergoing substantial conformational changes, which can be stabilized or prevented by various compounds. Here we attempted to clarify the molecular mechanism of action of new inhibitor rutin arachidonate, one of the series of the acylated rutin derivatives. We performed molecular dynamics simulations of SERCA1a protein bound to rutin arachidonate positioned in a pure dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine bilayer membrane. Our study predicted the molecular basis for the binding of rutin arachidonate towards SERCA1a in the vicinity of the binding site of calcium ions and near the location of the well-known inhibitor thapsigargin. The stable hydrogen bond between Glu771 and rutin arachidonate plays a key role in the binding. SERCA1a is kept in the E2 conformation preventing the formation of important salt bridges between the side chains of several residues, primarily Glu90 and Lys297. All in all, the structural changes induced by the binding of rutin arachidonate to SERCA1a may shift proton balance near the titrable residues Glu771 and Glu309 into neutral species, hence preventing the binding of calcium ions to the transmembrane binding sites and thus affecting calcium homeostasis. Our results could lead towards the design of new types of inhibitors, potential drug candidates for cancer treatment, which could be anchored to the transmembrane region of SERCA1a by a lipophilic fatty acid group.

Abstract
Tyrosyl oleate (TO), synthesized using oleic acid and tyrosol, was added to the original receipt of tarallini, to evaluate its antioxidant effectiveness. Lipid oxidation in control sample and samples with 1%, 4%, and 7% of TO at different storage times (0, 15, 30, 37, and 45 days) was evaluated. Accelerated oxidation analysis showed that the control sample took more than four times to complete the oxidation compared tarallini with TO. The control sample and tarallini with 1% of TO exceeded the peroxide value limit after 30 days of storage and the other two final products after 45 days. The control sample registered a oxidized fatty acid concentration higher than all the samples formulated with TO. The concentration of volatile compounds from lipid oxidation in tarallini with TO showed a lower concentration than the control sample. All the determinations carried out confirm, for the first time, that TO can counteract lipid oxidation in a real lipid system.

Abstract
Lipophenols such as palmitoyl esters of green-tea polyphenols (GTP) have been allowed for use as food additives for oxidation control. However, their digestive absorption remains unexplored. In this paper, the hydrolysis and transport characteristics of tyrosol acyl esters (TYr-Es) with various fatty acids (C12:0, C14:0, C16:0, C18:0, C18:1, and C18:2) were evaluated using the everted-rat-gut-sac model for the first time. HPLC-UV measurements demonstrated that TYr-Es were hydrolyzed to TYr, which contributed significantly to TYr transport across the sacs. The hydrolysis and transport rates correlated negatively with the chain lengths of their lipid moieties but showed a positive correlation with the degree of unsaturation. In general, all TYr-Es exhibited sustained-release behavior; therefore, the production of TYr-Es may serve as a useful way to prolong the duration of action and further improve the bioactivities of TYr.

Abstract
Several studies have demonstrated the remarkable properties of microbiota and their metabolites in the pathogenesis of several inflammatory diseases. 10-Hydroxy-cis-12-octadecenoic acid (HYA), a bioactive metabolite generated by probiotic microorganisms during the process of fatty acid metabolism, has been studied for its protective effects against epithelial barrier impairment in the intestines. Herein, we examined the effect of HYA on gingival epithelial barrier function and its possible application for the prevention and treatment of periodontal disease. We found that GPR40, a fatty acid receptor, was expressed on gingival epithelial cells; activation of GPR40 by HYA significantly inhibited barrier impairment induced by Porphyromonas gingivalis, a representative periodontopathic bacterium. The degradation of E-cadherin and beta-catenin, basic components of the epithelial barrier, was prevented in a GPR40-dependent manner in vitro. Oral inoculation of HYA in a mouse experimental periodontitis model suppressed the bacteria-induced degradation of E-cadherin and subsequent inflammatory cytokine production in the gingival tissue. Collectively, these results suggest that HYA exerts a protective function, through GPR40 signaling, against periodontopathic bacteria-induced gingival epithelial barrier impairment and contributes to the suppression of inflammatory responses in periodontal diseases.

Abstract
Lipophenols such as tea polyphenol palmitate derivatives (palmitoyl esters of tea polyphenols) have been classified as non-toxic food additives due to their better protective effects on lipidic food matrices from oxidation, but their digestion and absorption have remained unexplored.

Abstract
This work describes the lipophilization reactions of malvidin 3-glucoside with different saturated fatty acid chain lengths using an enzymatic synthesis and the study of their physical-chemical and antioxidant properties. The lipophilic anthocyanins were obtained with satisfactory yields (22-40%) after column chromatography purifications, and they revealed the same appealing chromatic features of the parent anthocyanin. All of the compounds were characterized by mass spectrometry, confirming the regioselective acylation on the glucose moiety. The octanol-water partition coefficients and the hydrophobicity index of the different derivatives were determined, confirming a lipophilicity increase concomitant with the fatty acid chain length. The antioxidant profile was also evaluated by using two in vitro methods (β-carotene-lineolate method and oxygen consumption assay). Overall, a maximum of antioxidant activity was achieved when malvidin 3-glucoside was conjugated with caprylic acid (C8). Altogether, the results obtained provide a good perspective for the technological application of these functionalized anthocyanins in the cosmetics and food industries.

Abstract
Upon platelet activation, free fatty acids are released at the stage of thrombus formation, but their effects on fibrin formation are largely unexplored. Our objective was to characterize the kinetic effects of fatty acids on thrombin activity, as well as the structural and mechanical properties of the resultant fibrin clots. Thrombin activity on fibrinogen was followed by turbidimetry and detailed kinetic characterization was performed using a fluorogenic short peptide substrate. The viscoelastic properties of fibrin were measured with rotatory oscillation rheometer, whereas its structure was analyzed with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In turbidimetric assays of fibrin generation, oleate and stearate at physiologically relevant concentrations (60–600 μM) produced a bell-shaped inhibitory dose response, increasing 10- to 30-fold the time to half-maximal clotting. Oleate inhibited thrombin activity on a short peptide substrate according to a mixed-type inhibitor pattern (a 9-fold increase of the Michaelis constant, Km and a 20% decrease of the catalytic constant), whereas stearate resulted in only a minor (15%) drop in the catalytic constant without any change in the Km. Morphometric analysis of SEM images showed a 73% increase in the median fiber diameter in the presence of stearate and a 20% decrease in the presence of oleate. Concerning the viscoelastic parameters of the clots, storage and loss moduli, maximal viscosity and critical shear stress decreased by 32–65% in the presence of oleate or stearate, but loss tangent did not change indicating decreased rigidity, higher deformability and decreased internal resistance to shear stress. Our study provides evidence that free fatty acids (at concentrations comparable to those reported in thrombi) reduce the mechanical stability of fibrin through modulation of thrombin activity and the pattern of fibrin assembly.

Abstract
Polyphenols and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are two classes of natural compounds, which have been highlighted in epidemiological studies for their health benefits. The biological activities of those two families of metabolites on oxidation, inflammation, cancer, cardiovascular and degenerative diseases have been reported in vitro and in vivo. On the other hand, chemical bonding between the two structures leading to n-3 lipophenol derivatives (or phenolipids) has been studied in numerous works over the last decade, and some examples could also be found from natural sources. Interest in lipophilization of phenolic structures is various and depends on the domain of interest: in food industry, the development of lipidic antioxidants could be performed to protect lipidic food matrix from oxidation. Whereas, on pharmaceutical purpose, increasing the lipophilicity of polar phenolic drugs could be performed to improve their pharmacological profile. Moreover, combining both therapeutic aspects of n-3 PUFAs and of polyphenols in a single lipophenolic molecule could also be envisaged. An overview of the synthesis and of the natural sources of n-3 lipophenols is presented here, in addition to their biological activities which point out in several cases the benefit of the conjugated derivatives.
