The aim of this work was to increase the solubility and oral bioavailability of isorhamnetin, kaempferol, and quercetin in the total flavones of Hippophae rhamnoides L. (TFH) by preparing their nanosuspensions (NSs) and an inclusion complex. Based on the particle size and zeta potential, P407, Soluplus, SDS, PEG-6000, and HP-β-CD were selected as stabilizers. TFH NSs and a TFH/HP-β-CD inclusion complex were prepared, and their morphology, crystallinity, molecular interactions, and cytotoxicity were investigated. Furthermore, the saturation solubility, dissolution, and pharmacokinetics of the three flavonoids in the TFH, TFH NSs, and TFH/HP-β-CD inclusion complex were compared. The five obtained TFH NSs were physically stable, and their particle sizes were all below 200 nm. The solubility and dissolution of the three active components were obviously enhanced by the formation of the TFH NSs and TFH/HP-β-CD inclusion complex. Correspondingly, the oral bioavailability of isorhamnetin, kaempferol, and quercetin increased up to 4.11-, 3.85-, and 6.73-fold, respectively, in the TFH NSs and 2.89-, 3.71-, and 9.51-fold, respectively, in the TFH/HP-β-CD inclusion complexes compared to those in the raw TFH. In brief, both NSs and inclusion complexes can improve the oral bioavailability of the three flavonoids in TFH. Taking the drug loading and the stable ratio of the multiple components into consideration, the NSs is a more promising strategy than the inclusion complex for increasing the oral bioavailability of multiple water-insoluble components in herbal extracts.

Context: Flavonoid-enriched extract from Hippophae rhamnoides L. (Elaeagnaceae) seed (FSH) has shown beneficial effects in anti-hypertension and lowering cholesterol level. However, evidence for its efficacy in treating obesity is limited.Objective: We sought to determine if FSH can reduce body weight and regulate lipid metabolism disorder in high fat diet (HFD)-induced obese mouse model, and to investigate potential molecular targets involved.Materials and methods: C57BL/6 mice were fed with HFD for 8 weeks to induce obesity. The modeled mice were divided into four groups and treated with vehicle, rosiglitazone (2 mg/kg), low (100 mg/kg) and high (300 mg/kg) dose of FSH, respectively. Normal control was also used. The treatments were administered orally for 9 weeks. We measured the effect of FSH on regulating body weight, various liver and serum parameters, and molecular targets that are key to lipid metabolism.Results: FSH administration at 100 and 300 mg/kg significantly reduced body weight gain by 33.06 and 43.51%, respectively. Additionally, triglyceride concentration in serum and liver were decreased by 15.67 and 49.56%, individually, after FSH (300 mg/kg) treatment. Upon FSH (100 and 300 mg/kg) treatment, PPARα mRNA expression was upregulated in liver (1.24- and 1.42-fold) and in adipose tissue (1.66- and 1.72-fold). Furthermore, FSH downregulated PPARγ protein level both in liver and adipose tissue. Moreover, FSH inhibited macrophage infiltration into adipose tissues, and downregulated TNFα mRNA expression in adipose tissue (38.01–47.70%).Conclusion: This effect was mediated via regulation of PPARγ and PPARα gene expression, and suppression of adipose tissue inflammation.

Sea buckthorn berries are rich in bioactive compounds and can be used for medicine and food. The variety and drying method used have an important influence on quality. In this study, different sea buckthorn varieties from China were selected and dried with four common drying methods. The total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoids content (TFC), contents of 12 phenolic compounds and antioxidant capacity in vitro were analyzed. The results showed that the TPC, TFC and antioxidant activity of two wild sea buckthorn berries were higher than those of three cultivated berries, and for the same varieties, measured chemical contents and antioxidant activity of the freeze-dried fruit were significantly higher than those obtained with three conventional drying methods. In addition, forty-one compounds in sea buckthorn berry were identified by UPLC-PDA-Q/TOF-MS, most of which were isorhamnetin derivatives. Multivariate statistical analysis revealed narcissin and isorhamnetin-3-O-glucoside varied significantly in sea buckthorn berries of different varieties and with different drying methods; they were potential quality markers. Strong correlations were found between TPC, gallic acid and antioxidant capacity (p< 0.05). The results revealed how components and antioxidant activity varied in different sea buckthorn, which provides a valuable reference for quality control and further development and utilization of sea buckthorn.Keywords:sea buckthorn;drying method;variety;phenolic compounds;UPLC-Q-TOF-MS;antioxidant activity

Plant extracts with antioxidant activity are frequently employed to inhibit acrylamide (AM) production, but there has been limited focus on their inhibitory effects on AM during the extended storage of foods. In this study, impregnation solutions were prepared using Hippophae rhamnoides L (Hp) and Alkekengi officinarum Moench (Ak) fruits extracts to investigate their protective effects on roasted chicken breasts (RCB) during processing and storage (vacuum packed at 4°C and stored at 25°C for 90 days). In a 90-day storage experiment with RCB, these extracts also slowed the increase of AM in RCB. However, these extracts exhibit inadequate protective effects on RCB during long-term storage. It is needed to develop new methods for monitoring and inhibiting AM formation in RCB.

SP0–1, a neutral polysaccharide fraction isolated from sea buckthorn berries ( Hippophae rhamnoides L.), was purified and structurally characterized, and its antioxidant-related intestinal protective effects were evaluated in Drosophila melanogaster . HPGPC analysis showed a single symmetrical peak and indicated a relatively homogeneous fraction with a moderate molecular weight (Mw, 5.59 × 10 4 Da; ≈55.9 kDa). PMP-HPLC analysis revealed that SP0–1 was mainly composed of galactose, xylose, and arabinose (Gal/Xyl/Ara-rich; Gal:Xyl:Ara = 1:0.38:0.93). Methylation analysis combined with 1D/2D NMR spectroscopy supported the presence of major →4)- and →4,6)-linked Galp motifs, →5)- and →3,5)-linked Araf motifs, and terminal Xylp residues. The consecutive Gal–Gal arrangement, the residue adjacent to Gal O-6, the overall connection of the Ara/Xyl-containing region to the Gal-containing region, and the O-3 substituent of residue D remain unresolved. Functionally, SP0–1 exhibited concentration-dependent radical-scavenging activities against DPPH, ABTS• + , and hydroxyl radicals in vitro. In a Drosophila oxidative-stress model, dietary SP0–1 supplementation significantly improved survival and climbing performance, enhanced endogenous antioxidant enzyme activities, and reduced malondialdehyde levels. Moreover, SP0–1 markedly alleviated H 2 O 2 -induced intestinal oxidative injury, as evidenced by decreased reactive oxygen species accumulation and reduced intestinal epithelial cell death. These findings suggest that the structural characteristics of SP0–1, including its proposed Gal-rich linkage features and Ara/Xyl-containing residue motifs, may be associated with the observed antioxidant-related intestinal protection. Collectively, this study provides a structural and functional basis for further investigation of SP0–1 as a potential bioactive polysaccharide fraction.
