Herein, a simple, highly sensitive and selective exonuclease III (Exo III)-based sensor was developed for mercury ions Hg2+ detection without the need of complicated, high-cost and time-consuming labeling. In this strategy, two oligonucleotides were employed for the experiment design. DNA1 was prepared with one DNA strand which was designed as a quadruplex-forming oligomer, and which was constructed as 3′-protruding to ensure the probe cannot be digested by Exo III. When the target Hg2+ is introduced into the sensing system, it associates with DNA1 and DNA2 to form double strand DNAs (DNA1/DNA2 duplexes) which have a blunt 3′-terminus. Exo III then can degrade part of DNA1, releasing the DNA1 and Hg2+, and ultimately liberating the G-rich oligomer. This released G-rich oligomer folds into a G-quadruplex structure and thus allows the formation of DNAzyme in the presence of hemin. The formed DNAzyme can effectively catalyze the H2O2-mediated oxidation of ABTS, giving rise to a change in solution color. The released DNA1 and Hg2+ are free to bind to another 3′-protruding terminus of DNA1 to trigger a new digestion reaction, leading to significant amplification of the signal. The present new strategy shows a limit of detection as low as 66 pM and excellent selectivity toward Hg2+ over a wide range of metal ions.

Redox regulation in biological systems represents a fascinating method for treatment and prevention of oxidative stress induced diseases. The key and difficult point is to find ideal materials with excellent antioxidant capability and good biocompatibility. To this end, ultra-thin two-dimensional MXene (Ti3C2) nanosheets (NSs) were investigated for their antioxidant capability. It is found that Ti3C2 NSs can scavenge efficiently reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (˙OH, H2O2, and ˙NO), ABTS+˙ and DPPH˙ free radicals in a concentration dependent manner, showing broad-spectrum antioxidant activities. Ti3C2 NSs exhibit higher antioxidant activity and broader antioxidant capability than natural antioxidant molecules. The significant role of PEG modified Ti3C2 with good stability in preventing cell damage against oxidative stress was demonstrated. Upon treatment of H2O2 induced oxidative stress with Ti3C2, the intracellular ROS level decreases and the cell survival rate increases significantly. An antioxidant mechanism based on gradient oxidation was proposed to account for the superior antioxidant activity of Ti3C2. Our result proves that ultra-thin MXenes as antioxidants have great potential in preventing oxidative stress caused biological damage.

Graphical The complex formed by Co 2 + , 8 - hydroxyquinoline and HCO 3 − could act as a robust peroxidase mimic in neutral pH at room temperature. This system provided a universal method for the ultrasensitive colorimetric detection of various 8-hydroxyquinoline-based drugs (e. g., clioquinol) by activating the catalytic activity of Co 2+ . 8-Hydroxyquinoline (8HQ) and its derivatives display diverse bioactivities and therapeutic potentials. In this study, we unveiled that 8HQ can boost the peroxidase-like activity of Co 2+ in the presence of bicarbonate (HCO 3 − ) in neutral pH at room temperature. With 2,2′-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonate) (ABTS) as the substrate, the formed Co 2+ /8HQ/HCO 3 − complex shows robust catalytic activity with the turnover number ( k cat ) tens to hundreds of times higher than that of Co 3 O 4 and other Co 2+ complexes in terms of per cobalt ion. This system was used to design colorimetric sensors for ultrasensitive detection of 8HQ-based drugs by activating the activity of Co 2+ . Take detecting clioquinol as an example, a detection limit of 2.4 nM clioquinol with a linear range from 0.01 to 0.2 μM was obtained. This work not only revealed a new kind of ligand that activated the activity of Co 2+ , but also provided a facile, low-cost, ultrasensitive, easy-to-use, and universal strategy for sensing various 8HQ-based drugs. Further development of this catalytic system might be beneficial to overcome drug resistance by combined medication.

The impact of phenolic compounds on the human body depended on the type, content, bioavailability, and antioxidant activity. After digestion, different phenolic compounds had different changes of bioavailability and antioxidant activity, which needed to be considered in the application. In this experiment, the structural stability and antioxidant activity of 27 phenolic compounds (phenolic acids, flavonols, flavonoids, and flavanones) were investigated during the in vitro simulated digestion. This experiment eliminated the influence of food matrix, provide a basis for regularity for the changes of phenolic substances in different materials. Results showed that the bioaccessibility of phenolic compounds with different structures varied, and there was a conformational relationship between the structure and stability. After oral digestion, most of the phenolic compounds underwent degradation and the cellular antioxidant activity (CAA) values decreased to a large extent ( p < 0.05). After gastric digestion, the content ( p > 0.05) and CAA values ( p < 0.05) of most phenolic compounds increased. However, after intestinal digestion, the phenolic compounds were degraded to a greater extent, and different structures of phenolic compounds had different changes in CAA values ( p < 0.05). In general, the CAA values of most phenolic compounds after in vitro digestion were lower than the initial value. The 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2′-azino-bis (3-ehylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) values of phenolic acids and flavonols decreased after in vitro simulated digestion ( p < 0.05), while the values of DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP of most flavonoids ( p < 0.05) increased. The increased oxygen radical absorption capacity (ORAC) values were found in most phenolic acids, flavonols, and flavonoids ( p < 0.05), and most flavanones showed unremarkable changes in ORAC values ( p > 0.05). In general, the changing trend of chemical-based antioxidant activity was consistent with the content of phenolic compounds.

Introduction: In this study, we optimized the extraction process, analyzed the structure and assessed the antioxidant activity of Sanghuangporus baumii polysaccharide (SBP). The present results provide important information for the Sanghuangporus baumii polysaccharides
in potential natural antioxidant effects. Background: The extraction and structural analysis of polysaccharides from Sanghuangporus has gained significant attention in the fields of chemistry, medicine, and life sciences. There is great significance in maximizing the extraction
of polysaccharides from Sanghuangporus and developing their potential products in a scientific and rational manner. Objective: The study was designed to establish an efficient and practical extraction process for SBP, and then investigated the structure and the antioxidant activity.
Methods: The Response Surface Methodology (RSM) based on Box-Behnken design was used to explore the ultrasound-assisted extraction of SBP, and the structure of SBP was studied by ultraviolet spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy and other instrumental analysis methods. The total antioxidant
capacity of SBP was studied by the Ferric Reducing Ability of Plasma (FRAP) method, and the scavenging capacity of ABTS+·, DPPH· and OH· was carried out as the index to investigate its antioxidant activity in vitro. Results: The statistical analysis
results showed that the optimal conditions for extracting SBP were an ultrasound time of 20.74 min, ultrasound power of 268.40 W and material-liquid ratio of 1:25.71. Under optimal conditions, the experimental yield of SBP was 3.36 ± 0.01%. The RSM optimization process was applied to
the experiment of complex enzyme extraction of SBP, and the yield increased to 4.72 ± 0.03%. Structural analysis showed that SBP mainly consisted of glucose, a small amount of mannose and galactose, and the molecular weight distribution was uneven, mainly concentrating in the three
parts of 24.5,6.4,2.5 kDa. Moreover, SBP exhibited dose-dependent and strong reducing power and radical scavenging activity. For DPPH·, ABTS+· and OH· radical scavenging assays, IC50 values were 1.505 ± 0.050 mg/ml, 0.065 ± 0.036 mg/ml
and 0.442 ± 0.007 mg/ml, respectively. Conclusion: In the present study, a β-linked heteroglucan (SBP) was extracted using the optimized process combining enzymes from the fruiting bodies of Sanghuangporus baumii. SBP exhibited effective and dose-dependent antioxidant
activities. Our findings were of great value in terms of developing polysaccharides with potential natural antioxidants.

Eleven kinds of Camellia oleifera seed oils (CSOs) were evaluated in terms of chemical constituents, antioxidant activities, acid value (AV) as well as peroxide value (POV). These CSOs contained abundant β-sitosterol, squalene, α-tocopherol and phenolics, in which the squalene was the distinct constituent with the content between 45.8±0.8 and 184.1±5.5 mg/kg. The β-sitosterol ranging from 143.7±4.8 to 1704.6±72.0 mg/kg contributed a considerable content to total accompaniments. Palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid and linolenic acid were present in these CSOs, in which the dominant fatty acid was oleic acid with the content between 59.66±0.72 and 82.89±2.16 g/100 g. The AV ranged from 0.1±0.0 to 1.3±0.0 mg KOH/g, and the POV was between 0.1±0.0 and 1.0±0.0 g/100 g. These CSOs showed antioxidant activity based on DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging assay. Both α-tocopherol and β-sitosterol contents showed a positive correlation with DPPH and ABTS values, respectively, while the α-tocopherol content showed a negative correlation with AV. These results suggested that CSO can be categorized into high oleic acid vegetable oil with abundant active constituents, of which the quality presented variation among different origins. These accompaniments may contribute to the delay of its quality deterioration.

In this work, crude polysaccharides from Gracilaria rubra (GRPS) and its three purified fractions, GRPS-1-1, GRPS-2-1 and GRPS-3-2, were obtained through hot water extraction and chromatographic purification with DEAE-52 cellulose column and Sephadex G-50 column. The three purified fractions, being homogeneous heteropolysaccharides with average molecular weights of 1310, 691, 923 kD and sulfuric radical contents of 5.96, 8.46 and 12.03%, respectively, were all composed of galactose and fucose. GRPS-2-1 and GRPS-3-2 had little toxicity to L-02 cells. Crude GRPS and its purified fractions exhibited strong scavenging activities against ABTS and superoxide radicals and lipid peroxidation inhibition. At a cellular level, GRPS-3-2 showed the strongest protective effect on H 2 O 2 -induced oxidative injury in PC12 cells. Moreover, GRPS-3-2 exhibited a much stronger immunostimulating activity on RAW264.7 cells than GRPS-1-1 and GRPS-2-1. The results suggested that GRPS, especially GRPS-3-2, could be developed as a promising functional food supplement.

Cyanobacteria are prokaryotic phototrophs capable of achieving high cellular densities with minimal inputs. These prokaryotic organisms can grow using sunlight as energy source and carbon dioxide as carbon source what makes them promising candidates as microbial cell factories for the production of numerous compounds such as chemicals, fuels, or biocatalysts. In this study, we have successfully designed and constructed using synthetic biology approach two recombinant strains of Synechococcus elongatus PCC7942 for heterologous expression of the industrially relevant Bacillus subtilis CotA laccase. One of the strains (PCC7942-NSI-CotA) was constructed through integration of the laccase gene into neutral site I of the cyanobacterial genome whilst the other (PCC7942-NSII-CotA) targeted neutral site II of the genome. Of the two strains the one with CotA laccase integrated in neutral site II (PCC7942-NSII-CotA) was superior in terms of growth rate and enzymatic activity toward typical laccase substrates: ABTS [2,2-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate)] and syringaldazine. That may suggest that two of the traditionally used neutral sites of S. elongatus PCC7942 are not equally suitable for the expression of certain transgenes. The PCC7942-NSII-CotA produced protein was capable of decolourising three classes of dyes namely: anthraquinonic-, azo-, and indigoid-type over 7 days of incubation making the strain a potentially useful microbial cell factory for the production of broad-spectrum biodegradation agent. Interestingly, presence of additional synthetic redox mediator ABTS had no effect on the degradation of these dyes.

Black tartary buckwheat oils (BTBOs) were extracted from five major industrial tartary buckwheat cultivars grown under similar agronomical activities and environmental conditions. These oils were characterized for the bioactive compounds containing fatty acids, β-carotene, lutein, α-, β-, δ- and γ-tocopherol, and for their antioxidant properties. The total tocopherol contents that were obtained ranged from 704.66 to 1156.19 mg/kg, with γ-tocopherol (588.98–977.91 mg/kg) as the main component. The concentration of lutein ranged from 253.14 to 429.63 mg/kg, which was almost ten times higher than that of β-carotenoid (46.71–69.2 mg/kg), indicating that black tartary buckwheat seed oils were a good source of lutein. The predominant fatty acids were unsaturated oleic acid (C18:1) (35.27–40.61 %) and linoleic acid (C18:2) (38.25–42.90 %). Excellent values of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH), diammonium salt (ABTS) radical scavenging activities were obtained and the highest oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) value of 13.89 mmol Trolox equiv/g oil was detected in the variety of Chuanqiao No. 1, which was clearly separated by principal component analysis (PCA) on the basis of the highest content of tocopherols and carotenoids. Moreover, the correlation analysis showed that tocopherols and carotenoids were the major contributors to the antioxidant activities of the BTBOs. This study demonstrates that lipophilic extraction in the tartary buckwheat seed contains many interesting bioactive compounds, which are beneficial for human health.

In the present study, a selenium-chondroitin sulfate (SeCS) was synthesized by the sodium selenite (Na2SeO3) and ascorbic acid (Vc) redox reaction using chondroitin sulfate derived from shark cartilage as a template, and characterized by SEM, SEM-EDS, FTIR and XRD. Meanwhile, its stability was investigated at different conditions of pH and temperatures. Besides, its antioxidant activity was further determined by the DPPH and ABTS assays. The results showed the SeCS with the smallest particle size of 131.3 ± 4.4 nm and selenium content of 33.18% was obtained under the optimal condition (CS concentration of 0.1 mg/mL, mass ratio of Na2SeO3to Vc of 1:8, the reaction time of 3 h, and the reaction temperature of 25 °C). SEM image showed the SeCS was an individual and spherical nanostructure and its structure was evidenced by FTIR and XRD. Meanwhile, SeCS remained stable at an alkaline pH and possessed good storage stability at 4 °C for 28 days. The results on scavenging free radical levels showed that SeCS exhibited significantly higher antioxidant activity than SeNPs and CS, indicating that SeCS had a potential antioxidant effect.Keywords:nanoselenium;chondroitin sulfate derived from shark cartilage;structure characterization;antioxidant activity

Chlorogenic acid (CGA), a hydrophilic polyphenolic compound, is difficult to use in lipophilic systems. Accordingly, to improve its lipophilicity and explore the effect of alkyl chain unsaturation on antioxidant activity, CGA was acylated with fatty acids of the same chain length, but an increasing degree of unsaturation, namely, stearic acid [C18:0], oleic acid [C18:1], linoleic acid [C18:2], and linolenic acid [C18:3]. The major products were monoesters, as confirmed by ESI-MS, 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, and Fourier transform infrared spectra (FT-IR) analysis. The lipophilicity of CGA derivatives was enhanced by acylation, and decreased with an increasing degree of fatty acid unsaturation. All CGA derivatives showed a high level of antioxidant activity. In detail, CGA-C18:0, CGA-C18:1, and CGA-C18:2 showed similar antioxidant activities, while CGA-C18:3 had the lowest antioxidant activity. The DPPH radical and ABTS radical cation scavenging activities of CGA-C18:3 were equivalent to 66.9% and 62.0% of those of CGA, respectively. The results of peroxide value (PV) indicated that the oxidative stability of CGA derivatives was enhanced. These results indicated that CGA derivatives could serve as potential sources of antioxidants for lipophilic food systems.

Mung beans contain abundant flavonoids like vitexin and isovitexin, which contribute to their strong bioactivities, such as antioxidant effects, so efforts should focus on extracting bioactive flavonoids as well as aligning with the goal of green extraction for specific applications. Deep eutectic solvent coupled with ultrasound-assisted extraction (DES-UAE) was applied to extract flavonoids from mung beans, and eight different DESs were compared on the extraction yield. In addition, the traditional extraction method with 30% ethanol was performed as the reference. The results showed that ethylene glycol-glycolic acid achieved the highest yield among all the DESs, 1.6 times that of the reference values. Furthermore, the DES-UAE parameters were optimized as a 60 mL/g liquid–solid ratio, 30% water content in DES, 200 W ultrasonic power, 67 °C ultrasonic temperature, and 10 min extraction time, leading to the DES extract with the maximum extraction yield of 2339.45 ± 42.98 μg/g, and the significantly stronger DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging ability than the traditional extract. Therefore, employing DES and ultrasonic extraction together offers a green method for extracting flavonoids from mung beans, advancing the development and utilization of plant-derived effective components in a sustainable manner.
