A new procedure has been developed to separate and quantify the free radical-scavenging activity of individual compounds from green, brown, and black leaves of Bergenia crassifolia based on the combination of high performance TLC (HPTLC) with a diode array detector (DAD) and postchromatographic 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH(*)) derivatization. Free gallic and ellagic acids, arbutin, hydroquinone, and bergenin in the B. crassifolia leaves' extracts were separated by HPTLC and identified. All compounds of the extract excluding bergenin were capable of scavenging DPPH * radicals. From the estimated ID(50) values, it can be seen that the increasing order of activity was gallic acid > arbutin > ellagic acid > hydroquinone > ascorbic acid. The antiradical activity of leaves of B. crassifolia is probably associated to the presence of phenol.

The Lentinus edodes polysaccharide (LEP) was extracted with a new subcritical water extraction (SWE) enhanced with deep eutectic solvent (DES) method and then purified with a DEAE-52 cellulose column and a Sephadex G-100 column. Two purified polysaccharides (LEP1 and LEP2) were obtained and their structure, antioxidant activity, and immunomodulatory activity were analyzed. LEP1 and LEP2 were composed of mannose, glucose, and galactose with a molar ratio of 1:12.

Subcritical water hydrolysis of eggshell membrane and its physicochemical characteristics.

Food Chem

January 2025

College of Food Science and Engineering, Northwest A&F University, Yangling, PR China. Electronic address:

The insolubility of eggshell membrane (ESM) limits it application. This study utilized a green process subcritical water (SW), to prepare soluble ESM and compared it with acid hydrolysis. The effect of SW temperature on the yields of total protein, free amino acids, and glycosaminoglycan in the hydrolysate was investigated.

Multiacting receptor-targeting antipsychotics and tricyclic antidepressants stimulate various neurotransmitter receptors despite the different targets of postsynaptic receptors and presynaptic reuptake transporters. Their auxiliary and adverse effects may be caused by multiple targets or the modification of the neuronal membrane. To evaluate the membrane responses to olanzapine, imipramine, desipramine, amitriptyline, lidocaine, and dibucaine, we examined the inhibition of lipid peroxidation in egg yolk phosphatidylcholine liposomes.

Double reactive oxygen species system photoinduced by Cu NCs: synergistic catalysis of phenylacetylene self-coupling reaction.

Nanoscale

January 2025

School of Chemistry & Chemical Engineering, School of Materials Science and Engineering and Anhui Province Key Laboratory of Chemistry for Inorganic/Organic Hybrid Functionalized Materials, Department of Chemistry and Center for Atomic Engineering of Materials, Key Laboratory of Structure and Functional Regulation of Hybrid Materials of the Ministry of Education, Anhui University, Hefei, 230601, China.

Atomically precise nanoclusters (NCs) can serve as an excellent platform for a comprehensive understanding of structure-property relationships. Herein, three structurally similar Cu NCs (Cu-1, Cu-2 and Cu-3) have been prepared for the photocatalytic phenylacetylene self-coupling reaction. It was found that Cu-1 NC achieved the highest turnover number (TON) of 524.

Metal-based mesoporous polydopamine with dual enzyme-like activity as biomimetic nanodrug for alleviating liver fibrosis.

J Colloid Interface Sci

January 2025

Department of Pharmaceutics, School of Pharmacy, Shenyang Pharmaceutical University, 103 Wenhua Road, Shenyang, Liaoning Province 110016, PR China. Electronic address:

Liver fibrosis is a common pathological stage in the development of several chronic liver diseases, and early intervention can effectively reverse the developing process. Excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) can promote the activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), but existing treatments have not addressed this problem. In this study, different metal-based mesoporous polydopamine (MPDA) was prepared by the soft template method, and their free radical scavenging abilities, as well as the efficacy and safety of the carriers were investigated, so as to select Cu-coordinated MPDA (CMP) as the optimal nanocarrier.
