The inclusion complexes between daidzein and three cyclodextrins (CDs), namely β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), methyl-β-cyclodextrin (Me-β-CD, DS = 12.5) and (2-hydroxy)propyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD, DS = 4.2) were prepared. The effects of the inclusion behavior of daidzein with three kinds of cyclodextrins were investigated in both solution and solid state by methods of phase-solubility, XRD, DSC, SEM,1H-NMR and 2D ROESY methods. Furthermore, the antioxidant activities of daidzein and daidzein-CDs inclusion complexes were determined by the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) method. The results showed that daidzein formed a 1:1 stoichiometric inclusion complex with β-CD, Me-β-CD and HP-β-CD. The results also showed that the solubility of daidzein was improved after encapsulating by CDs.1H-NMR and 2D ROESY analyses show that the B ring of daidzein was the part of the molecule that was most likely inserted into the cavity of CDs, thus forming an inclusion complex. Antioxidant activity studies showed that the antioxidant performance of the inclusion complexes was enhanced in comparison to the native daidzein. It could be a potentially promising way to develop a new formulation of daidzein for herbal medicine or healthcare products.Keywords:daidzein;cyclodextrin;inclusion complex;antioxidant activity

To improve the water solubility of daidzein, solid inclusion complexes of daidzein with two amino-modified β -cyclodextrins (ACDs), i.e., mono-6-amino-6-deoxy- β -cyclodextrin (NCD) and mono-6-ethylenediamino-6-deoxy- β -cyclodextrin (ENCD), were prepared by the saturated solution method in water with yields of 83% and 67%, respectively, under the optimized conditions including the ratio of daidzein/ACD of 3:1 and the stirring time of 72 h. The formation of the two inclusion complexes was confirmed by X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and thermo gravimetric (TG) analysis. The inclusion stoichiometry of the inclusion complexes was 1:1 from the Job plot and their complexation stability constants ( K S ) were 899.2 and 203.8 M −1 from fluorescence titration, respectively. After formation of inclusion complexes with NCD and ENCD, the water solubility of daidzein was dramatically raised to 15.2 and 13.2 mg mL −1 at 25 °C, increasing by 1800 and 1500-fold compared to native daidzein (8.31 μg mL −1 ).

The solubility of daidzein in propylene glycol + water cosolvent mixtures was determined by UV spectrophotometry, and predicted using the Jouyban–Acree model and the mathematical model based on the algebraic rule of mixing. The thermodynamic functions, such as Gibbs energy, enthalpy, and entropy of solution and of mixing and so on, were obtained from these solubility data by using the van’t Hoff and Gibbs equations. The results show that the daidzein solubility increases as propylene glycol proportion increases in the mixtures and the solution temperature increases. The Jouyban–Acree model can be used to predict the solubility of daidzein in propylene glycol + water cosolvent mixtures at different temperatures. The driving mechanism for daidzein solubility in water-rich mixtures is the entropy, probably due to water-structure loss around the drug non-polar moieties by effect of propylene glycol, whereas the driving mechanism is the enthalpy above 0.20 mass fraction of propylene glycol, probably due to daidzein solvation increase by the cosolvent molecules. Non linear enthalpy–entropy compensation with negative slope from water up to 0.20 mass fraction of propylene glycol and positive slope beyond this composition up to pure propylene glycol is found.

This study aimed to explore the effects of genistein on regulating the activation of UGTs via the Nrf2/Keap1 pathway and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of detoxification and hepatic protection. Experiments monitoring genistein-induced protection against acetaminophen-induced cell damage were performed in L-02, HepG2 and Hep3b cells. The results of the MTT, AST, ALT, LDH, GSH and GSSG assays showed that genistein evidently protected the cells from acetaminophen-induced injury in a dose-dependent manner. The control cells were treated with 10 mM acetaminophen without genistein to compare with the effects of the combination of acetaminophen and genistein on the expression of UGT1A1, 1A6 and 1A9, Nrf2 and Keap1 mRNAs, as well as the expression of Nrf2 and Keap1 proteins, which were tested by western blotting. The results showed that the expression of the Nrf2 mRNA and protein increased; in contrast, the expression levels of the Keap1 mRNA and protein were obviously reduced by genistein in a dose-dependent manner. Meanwhile, the expression of the UGT mRNA was increased, and UGT1A9 exhibited the highest expression among the three UGTs. Accordingly, the residual acetaminophen content was obviously reduced and acetaminophen glucuronidation increased after 24 hours of treatment with genistein in a dose-dependent manner.

Graphical Renewable polymers : A biobased benzoxazine resin (Dz-f) with excellent thermal properties was synthesized from daidzein and furfurylamine by using a microwave heating method. It was then cured and its thermal properties evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), TGA, and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA; see figure). A biobased benzoxazine resin (Dz-f) demonstrating excellent thermal properties was synthesized from daidzein and furfurylamine by using a microwave heating method. The chemical structure of synthesized benzoxazine monomer was identified by FTIR and NMR ( 1 H and 13 C NMR) before it was cured and its thermal properties evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), TGA, and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The cured resin p(Dz-f) exhibited a glass transition temperature ( T g ) of 391 °C, a very high char yield of 68.7 %, and outstanding thermal stability; the T g value obtained was the highest thermal stability value ever reported for polybenzoxazine with a high biobased content. Moreover, Dz-f demonstrated a satisfying processability, which was rare for the high-performance thermosetting resins. This work provided us with a new strategy for the preparation of high biocontent resins with excellent thermal properties. In addition, the combination of biobased feedstocks with a microwave-assisted heating method as well as the potential application of this approach in high-end fields might perpetuate remarkable progress towards the sustainable development of the polymeric industry.

In this work, a novel bio-based high-performance bisbenzoxazine resin was synthesized from daidzein, 2-thiophenemethylamine and paraformaldehyde. The chemical structure was confirmed using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The polymerization process was systematically studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and in situ FT-IR spectra. It can be polymerized through multiple polymerization behaviors under the synergistic reaction of thiophene rings with benzopyrone rather than a single polymerization mechanism of traditional benzoxazines, as reported. In addition, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and a microscale combustion calorimeter (MCC) were used to study the thermal stability and flame retardancy of the resulting polybenzoxazine. The thermosetting material showed a high carbon residue rate of 62.8% and a low heat release capacity (HRC) value of 33 J/gK without adding any flame retardants. Based on its outstanding capability of carbon formation, this newly obtained benzoxazine resin was carbonized and activated to obtain a porous carbon material doped with both sulfur and nitrogen. The CO2absorption of the carbon material at 0 °C and 25 °C at 1 bar was 3.64 mmol/g and 3.26 mmol/g, respectively. The above excellent comprehensive properties prove its potential applications in many advanced fields.Keywords:benzoxazine;daidzein;thiophene;CO2absorption;thermal stability

Daidzein (DAN) is an isoflavone, and it is often found in its natural form in soybean and food supplements. DAN has poor bioavailability owing to its extremely low water solubility and first-pass metabolism. Herein, we hypothesized that a bioactivatable natural amino acid-bearing carbamate prodrug strategy could increase the water solubility and metabolic stability of DAN. To test our hypothesis, nine amino acid prodrugs of DAN were designed and synthesized. Compared with DAN, the optimal prodrug (daidzein-4′-O-CO-N-isoleucine, D-4′-I) demonstrated enhanced water solubility and improved phase II metabolic stability and activation to DAN in plasma. In addition, unlike the passive transport of DAN, D-4′-I maintained high permeability via organic anion-transporting polypeptide 2B1 (OATP2B1)-mediated transport. Importantly, D-4′-I increased the oral bioavailability by 15.5-fold, reduced the gender difference, and extended the linear absorption capacity in the pharmacokinetics of DAN in rats. Furthermore, D-4′-I exhibited dose-dependent protection against liver injury. Thus, the natural amino acid-bearing carbamate prodrug strategy shows potential in increasing water solubility and improving phase II metabolic stability to enhance the oral bioavailability of DAN.

Daidzein (DAI) and betaine (BTN) exhibit outstanding therapeutic effects on the treatment of obesity and lipid-related diseases. However, the low solubility and oral bioavailability of DAI, along with the poor stability of BTN, limit the clinical application of both compounds. Here, a novel 1:2 drug-drug cocrystal of daidzein and betaine (DAI-BTN) was successfully prepared using crystal engineering technology. Dynamic vapor sorption analysis showed that the mass change of DAI-BTN was reduced by 58% in a relatively humidity range of 0% to 95% compared to BTN. As compared to pure DAI, the intrinsic dissolution rate and the bioavailability of DAI-BTN were enhanced by 4.34-fold and 3.73-fold, respectively. Furthermore, the effect and mechanisms of DAI-BTN in a mouse model of diet-induced obesity were explored. The results showed that the DAI-BTN can reduce body weight and adipocyte area, which were negatively correlated with the levels of TG, TC, LDL-C, AST, ALT, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6. Particularly, DAI-BTN was associated with improving the diversity, structure, and composition of the gut microbiome, promoted the growth of beneficial bacteria (e.g., Proteobacteria and Akkermansia ) and inhibited the proliferation of harmful bacteria (e.g., Desulfovibrio and Flexispira ). Therefore, DAI-BTN hold great promise to be developed as an effective drug combination agent for the alleviation of obesity.

The exopolysaccharides (EPS) produced by the edible medicinal fungus Monascus purpureus (EMP) become the center of growing interest due to their techno-functional properties and their numerous applications in the food industries; however, the low EPS yields limit its application. In this study, the effect of genistein supplementation on the production, rheological and antioxidant properties of EPS by M . purpureus and its biosynthesis mechanism were explored. The results indicated that the addition of genistein (3 g/L) generated a 110% and 59% increase in the maximum mycelial biomass and EPS yield, respectively. The genistein supplementation group (G-EMP) had higher molar percentages of Xyl and Man, and significantly decreased molecule weight and particle size of EPS, which resulted in stronger antioxidant effect and cell growth promotion. Rheological analysis showed that both EMP and G-EMP demonstrated pseudoplastic fluid behavior and G-EMP exhibited strong gel-like elastic behavior (G' > G"). Furthermore, genistein not only facilitated the production of EPS by regulating cell membrane permeability, enhancing cellular respiratory metabolism and monosaccharide precursor synthesis pathways, and enhancing antioxidant enzyme activity to reduce oxidative stress damage, but also affected the composition of the monosaccharides by increasing enzyme activity in the underlying synthesis pathways. These findings expand the application of M . purpureus resources and provide a paradigm for future study of the structural and functional characteristics of EPS.

Objective This study aims to explore the effect of daidzein, which is a natural isoflavone compound mainly extracted from soybeans, on osteosarcoma and the potential molecular mechanism. Material and Methods 143B and U2OS osteosarcoma cells were treated with gradient concentrations of daidzein, and MTT assay was used to determine the cell proliferation capacity and IC 50 . Hoechst 33342 staining and Annexin V-FITC/PI detection were used to determine apoptosis. Cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry, and migration ability were detected by transwell assays and scratch wound assay. An osteosarcoma xenograft mice model was applied to investigate the effect of daidzein on osteosarcoma in vivo . Systematic pharmacology and molecular modeling analysis were applied to predict the target of daidzein to osteosarcoma, and the target Src was verified by western blotting. We also observed the effect of daidzein on cell proliferation and apoptosis of Src-overexpressing osteosarcoma cells. Results In vitro , daidzein significantly inhibited 143B and U2OS osteosarcoma cell proliferation and migration, and induced cell cycle arrest. In vivo , daidzein exerts antitumor effects in osteosarcoma xenograft mice. After systematic screening and analysis, Src-MAPK signaling pathway was predicted as the highest-ranked pathway. Western blot demonstrated that daidzein inhibited phosphorylation of the Src-ERK pathway in osteosarcoma cells. Also, overexpression of Src could partially reverse the inhibitory effects of daidzein on osteosarcoma cell proliferation. Conclusion Daidzein exerts an antitumor effect on osteosarcoma, and the mechanism may be through the Src-ERK pathway.

Bayberry juice is favored for its unique taste and flavor, while heat sterilization tends to reduce the aroma quality during processing, which limits its acceptability to consumers. To address this issue, we use exogenous polyphenols to regulate flavor compounds to improve the product quality. Total 13 differential key aroma-active compounds were identified between fresh bayberry juice (FBJ) and heat-sterilized bayberry juice (HBJ) using aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA), orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) and odor activity values (OAVs). Further, eight polyphenols were added to investigate their influences on the aroma quality of HBJ respectively. The results showed that all tested polyphenols could maintain the aroma profile of HBJ closer to FBJ and improve the odor preference of HBJ, among which resveratrol and daidzein were most effective. Their aroma molecular regulatory mechanism involved enhancing the characteristic aroma of bayberry and reducing the certain off-flavored compounds produced by heat sterilization.

This study evaluated the in vitro and in vivo antioxidant activities of puerarin (PUE) and β-lactoglobulin (β-lg). The results of the in vitro antioxidant assay revealed that the DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging rates of the PUE/β-lg complex were generally superior to those of free PUE within the tested experimental concentration range. The in vivo antioxidant activity assay, using Caenorhabditis elegans ( C. elegans ) as a model organism, showed that the PUE/β-lg complex significantly increased the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and reduced glutathione (GSH) content in C. elegans , and also increased the mean lifespan of C. elegans under oxidative and thermal stress conditions. Transcriptomic analysis showed that the PUE/β-lg complex regulated the mRNA expression levels of genes associated with the activation of various signaling pathways, such as the longevity regulation pathway, insulin signaling pathway, and GSH metabolism. Overall, this study demonstrated the potential of the PUE/β-lg complex as an antioxidant, which can lead to its development into food products or pharmaceuticals.
