Objective: To establish a HPLC-DAD method for the determination of axifolin, naringenin, quercetin and kaempferol in Cudrania tricuspidata and C. cochinchinensis in order to provide a scientific reference for species identification and quality evaluation, by establishing.
Method: The determination was performed by HPLC-DAD on an Agilent C18 column (4.6 mm x 150 mm, 5 microm) by gradient elution (0-15 min, 35%-50% A; 15-30 min, 50% - 65% A) using methanol (A) and 0.1% phosphoric acid (B) as the mobile phase. The flow rate was 1 mL x min(-1). The detection wavelength was 290 nm for taxifolin and naringenin, 365 nm for quercetin and kaempferol with column temperature at 30 degrees C.
Result: The content of axifolin and quercetin in the root of C. tricuspidata were remarkably higher than that in the root of C. cochinchinensis, and the content in stem of C. tricuspidata was also higher than that in the stem of C. cochinchinensis, the content of axifolin and quercetin was variable in different species. The content of naringenin and kaempferol in the root of C. cochinchinensis was visibly higher than that in the root of C. tricuspidata, and the content in the stems of the two herbs was similar, the content of naringenin and kaempferol was visibly variable in different medicinal parts of the herb, but similar between the two herbs.
Conclusion: There's some difference of the content of the four ingredients in different medicinal parts and different herbs, so clinical use should not be confused.

The major phytochemicals in the roots of Cudrania tricuspidata are prenylated xanthones, exhibiting significant structural diversity and bioactive properties, such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidative, and antitumor effects. The biosynthetic pathways of these compounds have not yet been resolved, limiting their production through synthetic biology. In this study, benzoyl-coenzyme A (CoA) ligase (BZL), benzophenone synthase (BPS), and benzophenone 3'-hydroxylase (B3'H) transcripts involved in the biosynthesis of xanthone were cloned and characterized from C.

Microglia play a crucial role as immune cells responsible for the brain's defense mechanisms. Similar to the actions of macrophages in the body, microglial cells elicit an inflammatory immune response in the brain. Recent papers highlight activated microglial cells as pivotal contributors to inflammatory responses in the brain, leading to damage to nerve tissue and the onset of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Article Synopsis
- This study focused on isolating a proteolytic fraction from silkworm thorn fruit using ethanol precipitation to explore its proteolytic activity and optimal conditions for this activity.
- The researchers found that the best ethanol ratio for isolating the protein was 1:4, with optimal activity at pH 9.0 and 50 °C, although the activity was inhibited by specific protease inhibitors.
- Despite being less effective than commercial enzymes like Alcalase and papain in hydrolyzing soy and whey proteins, the silkworm thorn fruit-derived hydrolyzates demonstrated superior antioxidant activity.
