Deep eutectic solvent-based ultrasonic-assisted extraction of polyphenol from Chenopodium quinoa Willd.: Optimization and lipid-lowering activity.

Hyperlipidemia poses a serious threat to human health, but its medication remains some issues including significant adverse reactions. Polyphenols exhibit great potential in lowering blood lipids and the lipid-lowering effects of quinoa polyphenols are still waiting to be explored. In this study, a deep eutectic solvent-based ultrasonic-assisted extraction method of quinoa polyphenols was developed.

Novel hydrocortisone magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers: Preparation, characterization, and application.

In this work, magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers (MMIPs) were prepared by a surface imprinting method using FeO nanoparticles as a support. The products were characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, VSM, TGA, SEM, and TEM. Combined with HPLC, hydrocortisone in milk powder and milk were separated and purified, and their contents were monitored.

Ginger polysaccharides enhance intestinal immunity by modulating gut microbiota in cyclophosphamide-induced immunosuppressed mice.

In this study, the immunity-enhancing effect of ginger polysaccharides UGP1 and UGP2 on CTX-induced immunosuppressed mice was evaluated. The results showed that ginger polysaccharide could effectively alleviate the symptoms of weight loss and dietary intake reduction induced by CTX, increase fecal water content, reduce fecal pH, and protect immune organs of immunosuppressed mice. In addition, ginger polysaccharides also stimulated the secretion of cytokines IL-2, IL-4, TNF-α and immunoglobulin Ig-G in the serum of mice, increased the expression of Occludin and Claudin-1, and restored the level of short-chain fatty acids in the intestine to improve immune deficiency.

3-(2-Amino-ethyl)-2-(4-chloro-anilino)-quinazolin-4(3H)-one methanol 0.75-solvate.

In the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(16)H(15)ClN(4)O·0.75CH(3)OH, there are two independent quinazolin-4(3H)-one mol-ecules and one and a half methanol mol-ecules. One of the methanol mol-ecules is disordered over two positions with equal occupancies.
