In this study, protocatechuic acid (PCA) was grafted onto carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) via EDC/NHS to improve the antioxidant effect. The grafting ratio of PCA-g-CMCS conjugates could be controlled by adjusting the pH value and feed ratio of raw materials. The conjugates exhibited similar pH sensitivity to CMCS and showed dramatic enhancements of DPPH and ABTS radicals scavenging activities, total antioxidant capacity, reducing power, and Fe 2+ -chelating activity. Three-dimensional porous PCA-g-CMCS hydrogel was prepared by lyophilization and secondary cross-linking. The shaped hydrogel preserved its antioxidant activity, and the sustained release of PCA-containing degraded fragment from biodegradable hydrogel could be achieved with the aid of lysozyme in vitro (15 days). PCA-g-CMCS hydrogel also showed excellent biocompatibility and protective effect on H 2 O 2 -induced oxidative damage in SH-SY5Y cells. These results suggested that PCA-g-CMCS conjugates and its hydrogel would appear to be a promising oxidation-resistant material for applications such as drug release and tissue engineering.

Potentilla fruticosa and EGb 761 ( Ginkgo biloba extracts) have been applied in traditional medicine and exhibit antioxidant properties. However, there is very little scientific evidence to support their use in combination. In this study, a bio-guided chromatographic fractionation strategy was used to obtain two effective fractions (C-3 and D-2) from the acetone crude extracts (A) of P. fruticosa leaves. Isobolographic analysis indicated that the combination of A + EGb had largely demonstrated synergism and 5:1 (A:EGb) displayed the best synergistic effect. In addition, C-3 + EGb exhibited a similar result as A + EGb, synergism in DPPH and ABTS assays, additive in FRAP assay. While D-2 + EGb showed only additive effect. The possible mechanism behind the synergism was explored by RP-HPLC. The changes in the total phenolic and flavonoids content were also investigated. While chemical composition did not seem to change in the mixture, no new peaks appeared in the chromatogram of C-3 + EGb mixture as compared to the individual chromatograms, no existing peaks disappeared either. Further studies were observed which may prove the possible mechanism responsible for the synergistic effect. Combinations of C-3 and 4 phenolic compounds in EGb ((+)-catechin, kaempferide, quercetin and isorhamnetin) were evaluated for their antioxidant capacities. Isorhamnetin showed synergism with C-3, and 5:1 exhibited the strongest synergism in DPPH ( γ = 0.669) and ABTS ( γ = 1.249), 1:1 in FRAP assays ( γ = 1.385). Isorhamnetin was added to the other 6 phenolics in C-3 ((+)-catechin, caffeic acid, hyperoside, rutin, ellagic acid and quercetin), and the antioxidant capacity of mixtures was analyzed. For all combinations studied, caffeic acid + isorhamnetin displayed the greatest synergistic effect in various ratios by three antioxidant assays, the observed values were significantly higher than the expected values ( P < 0.05) and 1:1 exhibited the strongest synergism in DPPH ( γ = 0.711), ABTS ( γ = 1.693) and FRAP ( γ = 1.474) assays. Hyperoside + isorhamnetin also showed a slight synergism, but (+)-catechin + isorhamnetin exhibited an antagonism in DPPH assays. Thus, interaction of phytochemicals exist in extracts is likely responsible for the synergistic effects present in A + EGb, and caffeic acid + isorhamnetin may have played an important role. This study lends some credence to the concomitant use of P. fruticosa blended with EGb, which could be useful for developing new medicines and functional products from P. fruticosa and EGb.

The mutation status of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 19 is of great importance for predicting sensitivity to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in the treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the development of simple, sensitive, and no-nonspecific amplification platforms for EGFR 19del detection in NSCLC remains a challenge. Herein, we developed a novel, simple, and highly sensitive naked-eye assay utilizing CRISPR/Cas12a-triggered no-nonspecific nucleic acid amplification (NAA) with rolling circle amplification (RCA) as a model for EGFR 19del detection. Typically, circular padlocks are designed to be the trans-cleavage substrate of Cas12a/crRNA and serve as templates for RCA. Since the target EGFR 19del induces robust trans-cleavage activity of the Cas12a/crRNA duplex, the surrounding circular padlocks are cleaved into random short linear fragments that are unable to initiate RCA, resulting in a colorless solution. However, in the absence of EGFR 19del, the inactivated Cas12a enzymes cannot cleave the circular padlocks, and they remain able to serve as templates to initiate RCA to generate long single-stranded DNA to further fold into G-quadruplex/hemin DNAzymes to catalyze the oxidation of 2,2′-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS2–), generating a color response that is obvious to the naked eye. As expected, this strategy with a detection limit as low as 20 fM exhibited robust selectivity and anti-interference ability. Moreover, this method was applicable for detecting EGFR 19del in real serum samples and showed high consistency with real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and sequencing results, providing a promising strategy for the early noninvasive diagnosis and guidance of clinical treatment for cancer.

Ocean life contains a wealth of bioactive peptides that could be utilized in nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals. This study aimed to obtain neuroprotective antioxidant peptides in sea squirt (Halocynthia roretzi) through protamex enzymolysis. Fraction F4 (ultrafiltration generated four fractions) had a lower molecular weight (<500 Dalton (Da)) with greater 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS) radical scavenging activities (94.24 ± 2.50% and 91.80 ± 1.19%). After gel filtration, six peptides, including Phe-Gly-Phe (FGF), Leu-Gly-Phe (LGF), Leu-Phe-VAL (LFV), Val-Phe-Leu (VFL), Trp-Leu-Pro (WLP), and Ile-Ser-Trp (ISW), were identified and sequenced by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Peptides WLP and ISW showed higher oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) values (2.72 ± 0.47 and 1.93 ± 0.01 μmol L−1 of Trolox equivalent (TE) per μmol L−1 of peptide) than glutathione (GSH). Additionally, WLP effectively increased cell viability, dramatically attenuated 6-Hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-induced cell apoptosis and decreased reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels to nearly two-fold, and significantly boosted glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity in PC12 cells. Transcriptome sequencing revealed differential expression of genes associated with various oxidative stress pathways after WLP treatment, such as glutathione metabolism. These results suggest that the Halocynthia roretzi-derived tripeptide WLP could alleviate neurodegenerative diseases associated with oxidative stress.

Polysaccharides were the key ingredients of many herbal medicines, and were responsible for multiple pharmacological activities. In this study, a novel polysaccharide fraction, named SLP-2, was isolated from Stauntonia leucantha fruits, and purified by DEAE-52 and Sephadex G-100 column chromatography . Furthermore, SLP-2 was identified by congo red, methylation , partial acid hydrolysis and NMR . The results indicated that the backbone of SLP-2 was composed of →4)-β-D-Gal p -(1 → 4)-β-D-Gal p -(1→ substituted at C-6 with 1,5-linked arabinan . SLP-2 had good anti-oxidation ability in vitro. Surprisingly, we found that reduction of carboxyl groups and methylation of hydroxyl groups enhanced the ability to scavenge 2,2′-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS) radicals and inhibit lipid peroxidation , and weakened the activity to scavenge 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals and reduce ferric iron.

Background Besides fibre production, Corchorus olitorius is considered a nutritional and medicinal plant in traditional medicine. Its leaves possess different antioxidant compounds and display various biological properties. This study optimized the ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) parameters like temperature, time, solvent concentration, and liquid–solid ratio for total flavonoids (TFC) and total polyphenols content (TPC) from leaves employing response surface methodology (RSM). Results Findings demonstrated that under the optimized conditions, the highest extraction yield of total flavonoids (7.17 mg QE/g DW) and total polyphenol content (13.92 mg GAE/g DW) were recorded with the ethanol concentration 70.92%, temperature 68.06 °C, liquid–solid ratio 48.80 mL/mg, and ultrasound irradiation time 37.20 min. The optimum value of TFC (6.96 mg QE/g DW) and TPC (13.38 mg GAE/g DW) from the experiment of verification of optimized conditions was close to the predicted value and significantly superior to the conventional heat reflux extraction (HRE). LC–MS and HPLC analysis of the optimized extract from UAE demonstrated the existence of six major phenolic compounds, including chlorogenic acid, isoquercetin, hyperoside, adhyperforin, 1,3-di- O -caffeoylquinic acid, and 3,4-di- O -caffeoylquinic acid. Furthermore, the antioxidant test of the UAE leaves extract revealed an excellent 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH•), 2,2-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS + •) and hydroxyl radical scavenging with IC 50 values of 226.29, 199.53 and 402.02 µg/mL, respectively, compared to HRE with 336.31 µg/mL, 253.86 µg/mL, 520.08 µg/mL. Conclusions The developed optimization method could contribute to the good recovery of natural antioxidants from C. olitorius in the pharmaceuticals and food industries. Graphical Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the safety and probiotic properties of Lactobacillus paraplantarum LS-5 isolated from traditional northeastern sauerkraut , and to assess the antioxidant capacity of different solvent extracts (ethanol, water, and hot water) of L. paraplantarum LS-5-inoculated sauerkraut. L. paraplantarum LS-5 was shown to have various probiotic characteristics, such as good survival ability under artificial gastrointestinal conditions, antagonistic activity of various pathogens, non-biogenic amines, antibiotic susceptibility , and non-hemolytic. The 2,2′-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate (ABTS) radical scavenging activity of the L. paraplantarum LS-5-inoculated sauerkraut alcohol extract (71.13%) was significantly higher than water extract (59.59%) ( p < 0.05). The ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) of sauerkraut alcohol extract (614.93 Trolox μmol L −1 ) exhibited a slightly stronger ability compared to water extract (388.53 Trolox μmol L −1 ) and the heated sauerkraut water extract (383.20 Trolox μmol L −1 ) at extract concentrations of 5.0 mg mL −1 . Its 1, 1-diphenyl1-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity was also stronger. It was found by principal component analysis (PCA) and Pearson that the DPPH radical-scavenging activities of sauerkraut extracts were significantly correlated with the content of polyphenols and flavonoids ( p < 0.05). Unlike kimchi , Northeastern sauerkraut is consumed mainly by heating, so this study could contribute to understanding the antioxidant capacity of different solvent extracts of sauerkraut, and before and after heating water extracts.

As the improvement of consciousness of environment, a considerable effort has been made to shift from petroleum-based plastics to biodegradable alternatives, especially in the food packaging industry. In this work, we develop an innovative food packaging film by encapsulating quercetin (Que) within β -cyclodextrin ( β -CD) to create β -CD-Que inclusion complexes, which are then dispersed in a matrix of tragacanth gum (TG) and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) using a solution casting technique. β -CD-Que inclusion complexes were characterized using various methods, including 1 H NMR, 2D ROESY and phase solubility testing, to elucidate the interaction between Que and β -CD. ATR–IR, X-ray diffraction, and SEM were employed to confirm the uniform dispersion of β -CD-Que within the macromolecular substrate. The incorporation of β -CD-Que considerably improves the mechanical properties of films, increasing the elongation at break from 13.68 % to 25.74 %. Rheological tests demonstrate that the viscosity of the film-forming complex solution became larger. The films were demonstrated to reduced water vapor and oxygen permeability, possessing remarkable antioxidant capability evidenced by DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging rates of 78.01 % and 99.59 %, respectively. The TG/CMCS/ β -CD-Que composite film shows excellent potential for food packaging and preservation applications.

In this study, a novel nanofiber material possessing antibacterial and antioxidant properties was fabricated through coaxial electrospinning, utilizing polylactic acid (PLA), thymol (THY), and nano zinc oxide (ZnO) as the raw materials. THY and ZnO was used to endows the membranes with good antibacterial and antioxidant properties. The surface morphology of the PLA/Z@T nanofiber membrane was characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Additionally, the successful formation of the core-shell structure was verified through transmission electron microscopy (TEM), fluorescence microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Additionally, both ZnO and THY exhibit strong antibacterial properties, and their synergistic effect significantly enhances the antibacterial activity of the composite nanofiber membranes against Staphylococcus aureus . The drug sustained release percentages within 24 h for PLA@T and PLA/Z@T were 15.91 % and 14.82 %, respectively. The addition of zinc oxide does not significantly affect the release efficiency of thymol. After continuous release for 288 h, these percentages increased to 73.35 % and 72.94 %, respectively. By assessing antioxidant activity through DPPH and ABTS assays, it was found that PLA/Z@T exhibited higher activity compared to the control group. Subsequently, the in vitro antibacterial performance was investigated, revealing an antibacterial rate higher than that of the control group, the antibacterial rates against Staphylococcus and Escherichia coli reached 99.75 % and 98.49 % respectively. In conclusion, the results demonstrate that PLA/Z@T nanofiber membranes possess excellent antibacterial efficiency, sustained antibacterial performance, and antioxidant properties, offering a novel strategy for antibacterial materials.

Background Extracts from Potentilla species have been applied in traditional medicine and exhibit antioxidant, hypoglycemic, anti-inflammatory, antitumor and anti-ulcerogenic properties, but little has been known about the diversity of phytochemistry and pharmacology on this genus. This study investigated and compared the phytochemical profiles, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of leaf extracts from three Potentilla species (Potentilla fruticosa, Potentilla glabra and Potentilla parvifolia) in order to discover new resources for lead structures and pharmaceutical products.Methods Chemical composition and content of six phenolic compounds were evaluated and determined by RP-HPLC; Total phenolic and total flavonoid content were determined using Folin-Ciocalteau colourimetric method and sodium borohydride/chloranil-based method (SBC); Antioxidant activities were determined using DPPH, ABTS and FRAP assays; Antimicrobial properties were investigated by agar dilution and mycelial growth rate method.Results The results showed hyperoside was the predominant phenolic compound in three Potentilla species by RP-HPLC assay, with the content of 8.86 (P. fruticosa), 2.56 (P. glabra) and 2.68 mg/g (P. parvifolia), respectively. The highest content of total identified phenolic compounds (hyperoside, (+)-catechin, caffeic acid, ferulic acid, rutin and ellagic acid) was observed in P. parvifolia (14.17 mg/g), follow by P. fruticosa (10.01 mg/g) and P. glabra (7.01 mg/g). P. fruticosa possessed the highest content of total phenolic (84.93 ± 0.50 mmol gallic acid equivalent/100 g) and total flavonoid (84.14 ± 0.03 mmol quercetin equivalent/100 g), which were in good correlation with its significant DPPHIC50 (16.87 μg/mL), ABTS (2763.48 μmol Trolox equivalent/g) and FRAP (1398.70 μmol Trolox equivalent/g) capacities. Furthermore, the effective methodology to distinguish the different species of Potentilla was also established by chromatographic fingerprint analysis for the first time. The results of antimicrobial activities showed P. fruticosa exhibited the strongest inhibition aganist Gram-positive bacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans with MIC values of 0.78–6.25 mg/mL. P. parvifolia possessed antibacterial and antifungal activities against all the microorganisms tested, with EC50 and MIC values of 20.52–47.02 mg/mL and 0.78–50 mg/mL, respectively.Conclusion sThese results indicated that leaf extracts from three Potentilla species could become useful supplement for pharmaceutical products as a new antioxidant and antimicrobial agents.

Fruit juice is one of the most popular drinks, which requires strict processing conditions to ensure its quality, especially to prevent enzymatic browning and turbidity loss. In this work, a new strategy for the preparation of composite nanofibers for juice clarification and anti-browning control was proposed. The strategy used microfluidic spinning to combine Fucoxanthin (Fx), hydroxypropyl-γ-cyclodextrin (HP-γ-CD) and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) to prepare Fx/HP-γ-CD-PVP (PCF) nanofibers, which not only reflected the excellent antioxidant properties of cyclodextrin-wrapped Fx, but also achieved a more optimized juice clarification agent dosage. Molecular docking technique was used to prove that the stable inclusion complex of Fx and HP-γ-CD could be formed by hydrogen bonding when the molar ratio of Fx to HP-γ-CD was 1 : 2, and the binding energy was as low as −10.23 kcal mol−1. SEM, XRD, FT-IR and TGA were used to characterize the structure of the composite nanofibers, which showed that the thermal stability and water solubility of the embedded Fx were improved. Further studies showed that the apple juice with PCF nanofibers containing inclusion complexes of Fx and HP-γ-CD at a molar ratio of 1 : 2 (PCF 1 : 2) could significantly improve the DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity, and could significantly protect the cell membrane integrity of RAW264.7 cells against H2O2 oxidative damage. Finally, the effects of PCF nanofibers on the quality of fresh juice were studied, including clarification experiment and sensory evaluation. The results showed that the dosage of PVP in PCF 1 : 2 was only about 4% of the conventional dosage, and the browning index of fresh juice was significantly reduced with the best clarification. The available data provided in this study would provide a promising safety strategy for the food processing of fresh juice and the extension of its storage life.

Life is preserved by complex enzymatic reaction systems. Inspired by life, here we report on the first example to fabricate blue light-gated reversible silver nanozyme reaction networks that achieve life-like adaptivity. Upon blue light excitation, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) display oxidase-like activity in the presence of Cl– as a cofactor. The addition of Cl– promotes the separation between hot holes and electrons that are generated by excited-state surface plasmon of AgNPs, inducing the generation of highly reactive hydroxyl and superoxide anion radicals. They oxidize colorless 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)diammonium salt (ABTS) to yield green ABTS radicals (ABTS•+). It is shown that ABTS•+ is able to be reduced by AgNPs to regenerate ABTS when the blue light is turned off, and the reaction system returns to its initial state, which is the typical feature of the artificial adaptive system. The dynamic process of the adaptive system is tunable by changing the concentrations of AgNPs and Cl–, and it possesses excellent recyclable performance, which can be repeated at least six times. Overall, the silver nanozyme reaction networks are capable of responding to blue light stimuli and renewing by recycling to the initial state without blue light irradiation.
