The Box-Behnken design-response surface methodology (BBD-RSM) and Back-propagation neural network prediction model optimized by Simulated annealing (SA-BPNN) were used to optimize the extraction process of Astragali radix - Paeoniae radix alba by the green natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES), and the antioxidant activity of them was discussed. The best NADES for extracting Astragali radix - Paeoniae radix alba need to be screened out. The comprehensive evaluation value of the extraction yield was used as the index. The BBD-RSM and SA-BPNN were established for prediction and optimization. The antioxidant activity of Astragali radix - Paeoniae radix alba in vitro and in vivo was studied by detecting 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging rate and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and the expression levels of SOD, MDA and GSH-Px in rat plasma. The results showed that the best NADES formula screened was Betaine-Urea (Bet-Ur). Compared with the BBD-RSM, the SA-BPNN had a higher degree of fitting, the comprehensive evaluation value was higher, and the error between tested and predicted value was smaller, which was more suitable as a prediction model for the extraction yield of Astragali radix - Paeoniae radix alba . Through the determination of antioxidant kits and oxidative factors, the results showed that Astragali radix - Paeoniae radix alba had antioxidant activity in vitro and in vivo . The study on the extraction process optimization and antioxidant activity of Astragali radix - Paeoniae radix alba were expected to provide a theoretical basis for its effective utilization.

Ophiocordyceps gracilis is a type of fungus commonly utilized in both health food and Chinese medicine. Herein, we prepared antioxidant hydrolysate from O. gracilis , and isolated and purified the prepared hydrolysate to obtain O. gracilis peptides-4-3-1 (OGP-4-3-1) grade with the highest scavenging activity on DPPH, ABTS and hydroxyl radicals. Three new peptides with high antioxidant capacity were identified as LFNHF, PLDRHPF and YPFLRPL, respectively. The three peptides can reduce the proportion of senescent cells conveying positive expression of senescence-associated-β-galactosidase (SA-β-Gal) and increase survival pace of H 2 O 2 -induced human hepatocellular carcinomas (HepG2 cells), and the protective effects on cellular against senescence might be related to their increase in the activities of antioxidant enzymes, as well as the decrease in the concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA) and reactive oxygen species (ROS). The molecular docking results indicated that they could form durable hydrophobic and hydrogen bonds with critical amino acid residues of the Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1), which could potentially modulate pathway of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) in conjunction with Keap1. In conclusion, the current research offers a theoretical foundation for the further development of the anti-aging effect of OGP, which has a broad application prospect in the fields of functional food and cosmetics.

Ethnopharmacological relevance YiXinShu capsule (YXSC), originally from the classical TCM formula named “Sheng-Mai-San”, has been extensively utilized in clinic for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. However, there were few reports about the quality assessment of YXSCs both internationally and domestically. Aim of the study The objective was to develop a multi-strategy platform incorporating systematic quantitative fingerprint analysis and antioxidant activity determination, with chemometric analysis and bivariate correlation analysis as the auxiliary approaches, to assess and monitor the quality of YXSCs. Materials and methods Firstly, according to the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2020 edition), 12 key indicator components from seven herb medicines were quantified by HPLC method. Then, three-dimensional fingerprints comprising five-wavelength fusion fingerprint (FWF-FP), electrochemical fingerprint (EC-FP) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry fingerprint (DSC-FP) were established to assess and monitor YXSCs using systematically quantified fingerprint method (SQFM) and principal component analysis (PCA). Moreover, by integrating the analysis of the three-dimensional fingerprints, the quality of YXSCs from different batches was effectively screened. Finally, the antioxidant activity of this TCM was assessed through DPPH and ABTS methods, and the L-ascorbic acid equivalent antioxidant capacity (AEAC) values were compared to evaluate the antioxidant activities of the two methods. A Partial Least Squares (PLS) model was used to develop the spectrum-activity relationship between FWF-FP and AEAC, and a bivariate correlation analysis (BCA) was used to assess the correlation between FWF-FP and EC-FP. Results The key indexes including tanshinone I, t ol , t oe , A tp , first exothermic peak, and second exothermic peak can differentiate between various batches of YXSCs based on their three-dimensional fingerprint profiles. The integration evaluation results from 42 batches of YXSCs were categorized into 2–5 grades, indicating good quality consistency across different batches. In vitro studies have indicated a significant antioxidant activity capacity of YXSCs. The PLS model revealed that 37 out of the 41 fingerprint peaks exhibited antioxidant activity. The overall trend of BCA was consistent with PLS model results. Conclusion This research presents a scientific and holistic strategy for the quality consistency evaluation of YXSCs, thereby offering an effective approach for the thorough evaluation of TCMs.

Phyllanthi Fructus (PF) is a valuable botanical resource with a long history of traditional use, known for potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects attributed to its rich contents of bioactive compounds, particularly polyphenols. However, current extraction techniques limit the utilization of polyphenols from PF. This study aimed to achieve the maximum polyphenol yield and improve the antioxidant activity of PF extracts to promise PF’s prospects for modern healthcare. Firstly, ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) was employed to extract the polyphenols in PF and a combination of Plackett-Burman designs (PBD) and response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to optimize UAE’s conditions. Next, cellular superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were used to assess the antioxidant activity of extracted polyphenols. Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography coupled with Quadrupole Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF MS) was utilized to characterize polyphenol components in the PF extracts. Finally, network pharmacology and molecular docking analysis were performed to screen the potential target proteins of polyphenols from PF. As a result, the optimized polyphenol yield was 213.49 mg/g, and the antioxidant activities, measured by ability of DPPH scavenging, ABTS+ scavenging, and FRAP were 76.95 %, 2.24 mmol/g, 2.34 mmol/g, respectively. PF extracts also showed good antioxidant capabilities at cellular level. 26 polyphenol components were identified in the PF extracts. Among these, ellagic acid, myricetin, and eriodictyol may exert antioxidant effects by interacting with AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 (AKT1). In conclusion, our study provides valuable insights into the optimizing PF extraction and underscores its potential applications in enhancing natural polyphenols extraction using UAE with a combination of PBD and RSM. These findings offer a promising avenue for the development and utilization of PF, and could serve as a reference for similar extraction processes in the future.

Chronic kidney disease caused by functional impairment of glomerular endothelial cells (GECs) is one of the etiologies of hemodialysis treatment. As a critical component of the hemodialysis process, hemodialysis membranes having been suffering from intricated modification methods. In order to solve a series of problems caused by blood incompatibility, usually triggered by rough surfaces, an anticoagulant coating with a similar physical structure and physiological properties to GECs was prepared on the polyethersulfone (PES) membrane. The smooth glomerular endothelium-like coating was obtained by a hydrated layer formed by tannic acid (TA) and α-lipoic acid (α-LA). We explored two possible reaction mechanisms of TA and α-LA, which were characterized and discussed by ATR-FTIR and XPS. Besides, the hydrophilic and negatively charged coating has filtration and anticoagulant properties similar to those of GECs. The results show that the modified membranes have appreciable hydrophilicity (the water contact angle is 29.7°) as well as high urea removal rate (96.5%) and BSA protein retention (99.7%). In addition, the modified membranes show favorable hemocompatibility and free radical scavenging ability. The reduction of platelet adhesion number is reduced by 98.7% and PRT is prolonged to 297 s. DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging capacity reach 1.18 and 0.89 μmol/cm 2 , respectively. In this work, a surface coating mimicking GECs was fabricated for the potential candidates of new hemodialysis membranes, which will significantly enhance the dialysis efficiency and alleviate the coagulation.

Oxidative stress, arising from a dysregulation between the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidant defense mechanisms, is closely linked to the pathogenesis of numerous chronic diseases. To identify natural peptide-based antioxidants, rabbit meat proteins were enzymatically hydrolyzed using seven proteases. Among them, Hydrolysates produced by papain demonstrated the greatest radical scavenging activity, with DPPH and ABTS inhibition rates of 51.50 % and 61.50 %, respectively. Ultrafiltration and Sephadex G-15 fractionation revealed that the <3 kDa fraction (PH3) and its subfraction F5 possessed the strongest antioxidant activity. LC-MS/MS analysis of F5 identified 163 peptides, of which 56 were predicted to exhibit antioxidant potential using PeptideRanker and AnOxPePred algorithms. Notably, seven novel peptides showed strong binding affinities to Keap1 (binding energy < −8.0 kcal/mol) in molecular docking, suggesting possible modulation of the Keap1–Nrf2 antioxidant pathway. Quantum chemical analysis (HOMO–LUMO orbitals and electrostatic potential mapping) combined with radical scavenging assays demonstrated that electron-donating aromatic residues (Trp, Tyr) played key roles in antioxidant activity via hydrogen atom and electron transfer mechanisms, establishing a molecular-level structure–activity relationship. In vivo validation using an AAPH-induced zebrafish model confirmed the peptides' safety and efficacy, including reduced ROS levels and restored endogenous antioxidant enzyme activities (SOD and CAT). Collectively, these findings provide mechanistic insight into the antioxidant action of rabbit-derived peptides and support their potential application as natural antioxidants for functional food development and oxidative stress-related disease prevention.

Qi-Yu-San-Long decoction (QYSLD), a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) prescription, consisting of ten types of herbal medicine which has significant clinical efficacy in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the bioactive ingredients of QYSLD remain unclear, due to their "multi-ingredients" and "multi-targets" features. This study aimed to construct a spectrum-effect correlation analysis model and screen the potential active components of QYSLD. A fingerprint method based on ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q/TOF-MS) was developed and validated to obtain seventy common peaks of ten batches of QYSLD. The results of methodological evaluation, including precision, repeatability and stability, were less than 8.19%. In terms of linearity, eleven common components did not reach the linear standard (R 2 < 0.99), they were removed before spectrum-effect relationship analysis. After treated with ten batches of QYSLD, the results of DPPH and FRAP assays ranged from 1.59 to 5.50 mg mL -1 and 143.83-873.83 μmol L -1 , respectively. Meanwhile, the cell viabilities of A549 cells treated with QYSLD samples ranged from 21.73% to 85.71%. The relative healing rates ranged from 21.50% to 44.46%. The number of migrated and invaded cells ranged from 12.00 to 68.67 and 7.67 to 27.00, respectively. Then, the potential active components of QYSLD were screened through spectrum-effect relationship constructed by grey correlation analysis (GRA), partial least squares regression (PLSR) and backpropagation neural network (BP-ANN). The results were as follow: 1) eight ingredients of QYSLD were relevant to DPPH free radical scavenging ability; 2) nine ingredients were relevant to FRAP; 3) six ingredients were relevant to inhibit the proliferation ability of A549 cells; 4) twenty-two ingredients were relevant to inhibit the horizontal migration ability; 5) five ingredients were relevant to inhibit the vertical migration ability; 6) twelve ingredients were relevant to inhibit the invasion ability. Confirmatory experiments showed that compared with the unscreened ingredients, the potential active ingredients screened by the spectrum-effect relationship had better antioxidant and anti-NSCLC effects. In general, this study found the potential active ingredients in QYSLD. Meanwhile, the established method provided a valuable reference model for the potential active ingredients of TCM.

An on-line high-performance liquid chromatography−diode-array detector−electrospray ionization−ion-trap−time-of-flight−mass spectrometry−total antioxidant capacity detection (HPLC−DAD−ESI−IT−TOF−MS−TACD) system was created for identification and evaluation of antioxidants in Prunus ( P. ) mume flowers. Applying this system, the HPLC fingerprint, ultraviolet (UV) spectra, mass fragmentations, active profiles against 1,1-diphenylpicryl-2-hydrazyl radical (DPPH•) scavenging activity and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) of each complex sample were obtained simultaneously after one injection. Synchronous structure identification and activities screening of complex samples were thus accomplished. In this study, 78 compounds were identified from P. mume flowers by their chromatographic behaviors, UV spectra and MS data with the assistance of standard compounds and literature reports. The DPPH and FRAP activity of 24 samples (23 different P. mume varieties and 1 related herbal medicine) were then quantified by their detailed activity profiles from the on-line system, and by the total activity of each sample extract from off-line 96-well plate method. As a result, 21 and 32 compounds in the on-line system showed anti-oxidative effects against DPPH and FRAP, respectively. The established on-line system is efficient, sensitive and reliable to tell the DPPH and FRAP antioxidant activities of individual compound in complex samples, and therefore would be a useful and promising technique for antioxidant screening from different food and medicinal matrices.

Effects of dynamic high pressure microfluidization (DHPM), microwave, ultrasound, maceration and high temperature, on the phenolic acids and antioxidant activity of Artemisia selengensis Turcz (AST) were investigated. Microwave exhibited the best extraction efficacy on phenolic compounds and flavonoids with the content of 40.30 μg GAE/mg Extract, and 37.75 μg RTE/mg Extract, respectively. Microwave extract (MWE) also showed the strongest DPPH· and HO· scavenging ability (IC 50 value of 0.23 and 0.50 mg/mL, respectively), and reducing power (Ab 0.3 value of 0.23 mg/mL). Quinic acid, 3 caffeoylquinic acids (CQAs), 2 coumaroylquinic acids, 4 dicaffeoylquinic acids (diCQAs) were identified as the major phenolic acids in AST using HPLC-QTOF-MS/MS, and 3-CQA (63.71 μg/mL) showed the highest content followed by 1,5-diCQA (17.91 μg/mL) and 3,5-diCQA (13.50 μg/mL). MWE had the highest 3-CQA and diCQAs. While, high temperature could promote the degradation of diCQAs, 3- and 4-caffeoyl are more liable to decompose as compared with 1- and 5-caffeoyl. Practical Application Over production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in body will induce various chronic diseases. AST is an underutilized vegetable with many health benefits. This research indicates that AST possessed appreciating antioxidant activities and abundant phenolic acids, it is could be a potentail antioxidants resource and for prevention of chronic diseases associated with ROS. It also suggested that microwave could be a promising method for extracting the antioxidants in AST. Therefore, this research could lay a foundation for the high-value application of AST in food, health care and natural therapy industry, and provide some methodological references for the development of antioxidants in AST.

Polyphenols and flavonoids are abundant in spent onion skins (SOSs), being present in amounts are 2–sixfold greater times of than those in the inner bulb. In this study, an eco-friendly and efficient extraction method based on temperature-responsive deep eutectic solvents (TRDESs) was used to obtain natural flavonoids from SOSs. Microwave-assisted extraction yields of quercetin, kaempferol, luteolin, and quercetin-3-O-β-D-glucoside were evaluated to determine the efficiencies of a series of TRDESs. An extraction system composed of ethanolamine and m -cresol at ratio of 1:1 (20% water in TRDES system) was found to possess the highest efficiency. The extraction conditions were screened and optimized for efficiency using a Box-Behnken design. As a result, an extraction power of 554 W, extraction temperature of 76 °C, extraction time of 16 min, and solid–liquid ratio of 14 mg/mL were determined to be the optimal conditions. Under these extraction conditions, the total flavonoid extraction yields reached 47.83 ± 0.21 mg/g. The macroporous resin HPD 600 was selected for the separation and recovery of the TRDESs extraction mixture and the experimental measurements revealed that it allowed recovery rate more than 90%. In vitro activity testing of the flavonoid extract demonstrated excellent FRAP assay, DPPH assay and ABTS assay results for the SOSs extract prepared using a TRDES, and its inhibitory effects on S. aureus , E. carotovora , and B. subtilis were marked.

Trapa quadrispinosa , commonly known as water caltrop, has long been consumed as a food in Asian countries and its pericarp is discarded as waste after the fruit is harvested. In this study, a reliable method was established using UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS to identify the main compounds in Trapa quadrispinosa pericarps (TQP). The UPLC parameters including column, mobile phase, and temperature were optimized. The extraction parameters including solvents, temperatures and solid-to-liquid ratios were also optimized. A total of 35 compounds were tentatively assigned. The QTOF-MS/MS fragmentation pathways of these compounds were proposed. The most abundant compound (1,2,3,6-tetra-O-galloyl- β - d -glucose) was further purified by a semi-preparative HPLC and confirmed by 1 H- and 13 C-NMR. Hydrolyzable tannins (gallotannins and ellagitannins) consisting of almost 90% polyphenols were obtained from the TQP extracts. Three of the main hydrolyzable tannins were 1,2,3,6-tetra-O-galloyl- β - d -glucose, tri-O-galloyl-hexahydroxydiphenoyl- d -glucose, and tri-O-galloyl- d -glucose. The TQP extracts exhibited better antioxidant activity in the DPPH assay than that of the ascorbic acid standard. This study provides valuable information for the utilization of TQP as an alternative source of plant-derived antioxidants.

Copper-related reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation can lead to neuropathologic degradation associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) according to amyloid cascade hypothesis. A complexing agent that can selectively chelate with copper ions and capture copper ions from the complex formed by copper ions and amyloid−β (Cu − Aβ complex) may be available in reducing ROS formation. Herein, we described applications of guluronic acid (GA), a natural oligosaccharide complexing agent obtained from enzymatic hydrolysis of brown algae , in reducing copper-related ROS formation. UV–vis absorption spectra demonstrated the coordination between GA and Cu(II). Ascorbic acid consumption and coumarin–3–carboxylic acid fluorescence assays confirmed the viability of GA in reducing ROS formation in solutions containing other metal ions and Aβ. Fluorescence kinetics, DPPH radical clearance and high resolution X − ray photoelectron spectroscopy results revealed the reductivity of GA. Human liver hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cell viability demonstrated the biocompatibility of GA at concentrations lower than 320 μM. Cytotoxic results of human neuroblastoma (SH–SY5Y) cells verified that GA can inhibit copper-related ROS damage in neuronal cells. Our findings, combined with the advantages of marine drugs, make GA a promising candidate in reducing copper-related ROS formation associated with AD therapy.
