Resveratrol (RES), a natural polyphenolic compound existing in plants, exhibits anticancer potential in inhibiting growth of various types of human cancers especially breast cancer. However, the poor aqueous solubility and low bioavailability limit its clinical application. Pluronic F127 (F127)-SS-Tocopherol (TOC) polymer is a redox-sensitive conjugate which has been synthesized by our previous study. Due to the amphiphilic properties of block copolymer F127-SS-TOC, RES was encapsulated by the F127-SS-TOC polymer and formed RES-loaded micelles (F127-SS-TOC/RES) in aqueous solution by self-assembly via a solvent evaporation method. The drug loading of F127-SS-TOC/RES micelles was 13.25 ± 2.29%, which remained stable for 7 days at 25 °C. The particle size and zeta potential of the above-mentioned micelles measured by dynamic light scattering (DLS) were 39.50 ± 1.39 nm and −4.55 ± 0.39 mV, respectively. Besides, F127-SS-TOC/RES micelles have significant cytotoxicity in human breast cancer cells MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 compared to free RES and non-redox-sensitive F127-TOC/RES micelles. The results also showed that redox-sensitive F127-SS-TOC/RES micelles could induce apoptosis and elevate the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level against MDA-MB-231 cells. Hence, our results indicated that RES loaded F127-SS-TOC micelles hold potential in improving the treatment of breast cancer.

This study aimed to prepare a sustained-release solid dispersion of poorly water-soluble resveratrol (RES) with high melting point in a single hot melt extrusion step. A hydrophobic–hydrophilic polymeric blend (Eudragit RS and PEG6000) was used to control the release of RES. With the dispersive mixing and high shear forces of hot melt extrusion, the thermodynamic properties and dispersion of RES were changed to improve its solubility. The effects of the formulation were investigated through univariate analysis to optimize the preparation of the sustained-release solid dispersion. In vitro and in vivo studies were performed to evaluate the prepared RES/RS/PEG6000 sustained-release solid dispersion. The physical state of the solid dispersion was characterized using differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction. Surface properties of the dispersion were visualized using scanning electron microscopy, and the chemical interaction between RES and excipients was detected through Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Results suggested that the optimized sustained-release solid dispersion was obtained when the mass ratio of RES-polymeric blend was 1:5, the ratio of PEG6000 was 35%, the barrel temperature was 170 °C, and the screw speed was 80 rpm. In vitro studies demonstrated that the solid dispersion showed a good sustained release effect. The cumulative release of RES reached 82.42% until 12 h and was fit by the Weibull model. In addition, the saturated solubility was 2.28 times higher than that of the bulk RES. In vitro studies demonstrated that the half-life increased from 3.78 to 7.09 h, and the bioavailability improved to 140.38%. The crystalline RES was transformed into the amorphous one, and RES was highly dispersed in the polymeric blend matrix.Keywords:solid dispersion;resveratrol;hot melt extrusion;dissolution;sustained-release

This work investigated the preparation of specific targeted drug delivery systems in cancer chemotherapy by folate conjugated human serum albumin nanoparticles encapsulated resveratrol (RES) nanoparticles (FA-HSA-RESNPs). FA was coupled to HSA, and RES was encapsulated in FA-conjugated HSA by high pressure fluid nano-homogeneous emulsification. The average particle size and polydispersity index of NPs prepared under optimal conditions were 102.1 ± 4.9 nm and 0.001. The drug capsulation efficiency and drug loading efficiency were 98.36 and 14.66%, respectively. The analysis of the results of the physical characterization showed that the RES was present in the FA-HSA-RESNPs in an amorphous state. In vitro drug-release study showed that the NPs can release the drug persistently and slowly. The inhibition rate of FA-HSA-RESNPs and RES was detected using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide method to be 110.8 and 157.2 μM, respectively. The targeting ability of the FA-HSA-RESNPs for the HepG2 cell was measured by fluorescein isothiocyanate-modified albumin techniques. The uptake rate of FA-HSA-RESNPs was higher than that of the original RES. By using near-infrared imaging, in vivo activity was labeled with Cy5 fluorescent FA-HSA-RESNP confirmed FA-HSA-RESNP tumor-targeting ability. The intravenous administration bioavailability of FA-HSA-RESNPs was about 5.95-fold higher than that of the original RES.

Using of low-fat emulsion gels stabilized by quinoa protein (QP) for 3D food printing was limited by their defective rheological properties. The study was to explore the feasibility of using fucoidan (FU) to improve the printability and curcumin encapsulation stability of QP emulsion gel. The gels with 0.5–0.75 % FU incorporated were proved to be the most promising ink. Rheological analysis confirmed their great printing potential from the three-stages simulated 3D printing process. The incorporation of FU into emulsions induced more QP molecules adsorbed at the oil-water interface and smaller droplets size. When gel was induced by gluconate δ-lactone, these electrostatic interactions transformed into electrostatic attraction, resulting in a denser gel network. Adding FU to the gel improved its textural properties. Moreover, the gels with FU incorporated exerted better curcumin storage stability. This study provides a simple way to develop and improve the edible 3D printing inks for future food manufacturing.

The study aimed to prepare complex gels of sonicated quinoa protein (QP) and polysaccharides, comparing the effects of different protein components and pH on gel properties. FTIR analysis demonstrated that the β-structure in protein at pH 7.0 was enhanced by ultrasonic treatment, which could promote the formation of a gel network. Moreover, XG-AG (gel prepared by xanthan gum and albumin) and XG-GG (gel prepared by xanthan gum and globulin) exhibited higher levels of disulfide bonds and free sulfhydryl groups in the gel, requiring more energy to break the intermolecular sulfide bonds during heating. Under the same heating conditions, the rheological properties and gel strength of XG-UQPG (gel prepared by xanthan gum and ultrasonically treated QP) were superior to those of XG-UGG (gel prepared by xanthan gum and ultrasonically treated globulin) and XG-UAG (gel prepared by xanthan gum and ultrasonically treated albumin). Additionally, XG-UGG (pH 7.0) demonstrated the highest water holding capacity (WHC) and oil holding capacity (OHC). This was attributed to the disulfide bonds created in the proteins by the ultrasound treatment, encouraging them to interact to form more uniform holes in gel that can hold more water/oil molecules. Conversely, at pH 4.5, the WHCs of the gels were reduced due to the presence of rougher protein structures. These findings shed light on the impact of protein composition on gel properties and offer insights into enhancing the quality of quinoa protein gel.

Resveratrol (RSV), a dietary polyphenol found in red wine, has renewed interest in recent years due to a broad range of in vitro evidence that indicate cardioprotective effects. Herein, we have synthesized four RSV cocrystals with the objective to improve the physicochemical and mechanical properties. Single crystal structures were illustrated and comprehensive characterization of the cocrystals were performed. In addition, powder dissolution of RSV cocrystals in different buffer medium containing different surfactants were conducted, and the result revealed that PVP K30 is an effective surfactant to maintain the supersaturation. Then pharmacokinetic experiments suggested that RSV cocrystals showed shorter Tmax, and RSV–NA exhibited higher Cmax and AUC0–24 values. Furthermore, RSV cocrystals exhibited superior mechanical properties compared to RSV pure component. These results may provide an alternative formulation for RSV.

The aim of this study was to investigate the antioxidant potential of ampelopsin (APS) by using various methods in vitro , as well as to determine effects of APS on LPS-induced oxidative stress in piglets. The results showed that APS exhibited excellent free radical scavenging by DPPH, ABTS, O 2 • − , H 2 O 2 and ferric reducing antioxidant power. Ampelopsin also protected pig erythrocytes against AAPH-induced apoptosis and hemolysis, decreased total superoxide dismutase activity, and increased lipid peroxidation. Furthermore the results demonstrated that APS enhanced the total antioxidant capacity and decreased the malondialdehyde and protein carbonyl contents in LPS-treated piglets. The results of the present investigation suggest that APS possesses a strong antioxidant activity and alleviates LPS-induced oxidative stress, possibly due to its ability to prevent reactive oxygen species.

The solubility and physicochemical properties of resveratrol in peanut oil were systematically studied following ultrasonic and magnetic stirring-assisted dissolution. The highest resveratrol solubility in peanut oil observed was 95.91%. The optimal dissolution process was determined to be the addition of 183.00 mg/kg resveratrol, a magnetic temperature of 40.00℃, and a magnetic duration of 3.50 h, which yielded a resveratrol content of 175.51 mg/kg oil. Under this standardized process, the oil composition remained unchanged. Resveratrol promoted the conversion of saturated triglycerides into unsaturated triglycerides, increased the linolenic acid content, and did not facilitate the formation of trans fatty acids. In addition, resveratrol preserved the light color, decreased the peroxide and acid values by 30%, prolonged the shelf life by more than 2 folds, and improved the thermal stability. In this sense, peanut oil with resveratrol can serve as anti-isomerism and antioxidant additive.

Hot melt extrusion (HME) is a technique applied in the preparation of pharmaceutical amorphous solid dispersions (ASD). Notably it is important to prevent thermal degradation of heat-sensitive drugs during HME. In this study, we present a new strategy to improve chemical stability of pharmaceutical compounds during HME through the formation of eutectics with small molecules. Resveratrol (RES) was selected as the model compound because it is a heat-liable natural product with a very high melting point of 267 °C. When heated at its melting point for 3 min, it degrades by 40%. RES can co-crystallize with nicotinamide (NIC) in solution, however, it can only form a eutectic with NIC during heating. HPMCAS was selected as the polymer matrix and the drug loading of RES was fixed as 20% (weight ratio). The lowest extrusion temperature that can result to RES-HPMCAS ASD is 215 °C. At this temperature, RES shows 7.36% degradation during extrusion. Replacement of 21.4% HPMCAS with NIC decreased the melting temperature of NIC and thus lowered the minimal extrusion temperature to 155 °C. This effectively prevented thermal degradation of RES without negatively affecting non-sink dissolution. The only extra cost for this method is stricter storage conditions (low temperature and low humidity) due to the low glass transition temperature of NIC. Similar strategy may be applied to other heat-liable drugs in similar ways. This study demonstrates the use of eutectic formation for preventing thermal degradation of drug during extrusion of ASD.

Quinoa starch was developed as a new kind of Pickering emulsifier by enzymatic modification. The morphological structure, crystalline structure, lamellar structure, fractal structure, particle size distribution, contact angle, emulsion index (EI), and emulsion micromorphology were studied to explore the relationship between structure characteristics, hydrophilic property, and emulsifying properties of enzymatically modified (EM) quinoa starches. With the increasing enzymatic hydrolysis time in the test range of 0–9 h, particle size of EM quinoa starch decreased, and the broken starch and contact angle of EM quinoa starch increased; the EI value of emulsions with EM quinoa starch increased, and the oil droplet size of emulsions with EM quinoa starch decreased. It suggested that both the smallest particle size and the closest extent of the contact angle to 90° derived the best emulsifying property of EM-9. The EM quinoa starch had higher emulsifying capacity at higher oil volume fraction (Φ) (50%) than at lower Φ (20%), proving that the EM starch has potential to be used as Pickering emulsifiers in higher oil products, such as salad dressing.

The Sn-Fe alloy coating is a potential choice for decorative coatings and electronic products because of its excellent performance. However, oxidation of the bath is likely to occur in the process of use, which limits the production of electrodeposition of Sn-Fe alloy. Resveratrol has excellent antioxidant capacity and is considered as a non-polluting natural antioxidant. However, the understanding of using of resveratrol as stabilizer for electroplating solution in the field of electrodeposition is limited. In this study, resveratrol, hydroquinone and TBHQ are selected as the stabilizers of the electroplating bath to conduct comparative experiments for measuring the stability effect of resveratrol. The antioxidant capacities of three stabilizers are compared by means of the natural oxidation experiment, H 2 O 2 accelerated oxidation experiment and electrochemical testing. The natural oxidation experiment and H 2 O 2 accelerated oxidation experiment confirm that the antioxidant effect of resveratrol is higher than hydroquinone and TBHQ. To determine the optimal concentration of resveratrol in the electroplating solution, EIS and salt spray test were conducted. These results show that appropriate resveratrol can improve the corrosion resistance of the coating, but excessive resveratrol is detrimental to corrosion resistance. Therefore, the optimal concentration of resveratrol in the electroplating solution is 1.0 g/L.

Poor water solubility and low chemical stability, seriously limit the efficient bioavailability of resveratrol. Here, we propose encapsulating resveratrol in lecithin-polysaccharide self-assembled microspheres (LPSM). An LPSM was designed with a lecithin core, and alginate-carboxymethyl chitosan biolayer shell. The LPSM had a spherical shape with 12.171 ± 0.960 μm of particle size and −30.86 ± 1.37 mV of zeta potential. The introduce of lecithin remarkably increased the encapsulation efficiency of resveratrol to 92.78 ± 0.82%. The LPSM elevated the antioxidant capacity and ultraviolet resistance of resveratrol. Moreover, LPSM inhibited release in a simulated gastric environment, promoted sustained release in simulated intestinal environment, and elevated the bioavailability of resveratrol during in vitro simulated digestion. Results indicate that LPSM is promising as a carrier for resveratrol delivery to enhance stability and bioaccessibility.Keywords:resveratrol;encapsulation;soybean lecithin;polysaccharide;microspheres;stability
