AI Article Synopsis

  • Anthocyans are colorful plant pigments found in fruits that have potential health benefits and are often used in dietary supplements.
  • Research investigated how anthocyans affect the liver transporters OATP1B1 and OATP1B3, which are important for drug metabolism, particularly for statins and some cancer medications.
  • Results showed that certain anthocyans can significantly increase OATP1B1 expression, while others reduce OATP1B3 levels, suggesting that high doses of anthocyanin supplements could interfere with the effectiveness of certain medications.

Article Abstract

Anthocyans (anthocyanins and their aglycones anthocyanidins) are colorful pigments, naturally occurring in fruits. They exhibit many biological effects and have potent health benefits. Anthocyans are widely used as dietary supplements and the safety of products containing them is of great importance. To investigate whether anthocyans influence the expression of hepatic uptake transporters from the organic anion transporting polypeptide (SLCO gene/OATP protein) family, we carried out studies on primary cultures of human hepatocytes. The hepato-cellular accumulation of widely used drugs such as statins and some anticancer drugs is mediated by the liver-specific OATP1B1 and OATP1B3, thus any interference with expression of these particular transporters might influence therapeutic outcomes. We evaluated the effects of 21 anthocyanins and their corresponding 6 anthocyanidins on the expression levels of SLCO1B1/SLCO1B3 by RT-qPCR. Changes in OATP protein levels were confirmed by western blotting. Our data show that OATP1B1 responds differently to anthocyans compared with OATP1B3. We observed the induction of SLCO1B1 gene and OATP1B1 protein in four hepatocyte samples by the anthocyanins malvin chloride, malvidin-3-O-galactoside chloride and cyanidin-3-O-sophoroside chloride. For SLCO1B3, a reduction in the expression levels was seen with delphin chloride and the anthocyanidin pelargonidin. Although the values varied considerably between primary hepatocyte isolates from different individuals, a mean induction of SLCO1B1 (up to 60%) and reduction of SLCO1B3 (by less than 25%) were detected. We propose that the effects of anthocyans derived from high dose dietary supplements may have to be taken into account in patients undergoing a therapy with drugs transported by OATP1B1 and OATP1B3.

The impact of the common cooking practices on the nutritional value and the antioxidant contents of zinc biofortified sprouts was assessed in the present investigation. Garden cress sprouts showed an increase of dry matter, ash, proteins, carbohydrates, sodium, iron and zinc contents according to the applied cooking process. Antinutrient and pigment contents (chlorophylls, carotenoids and anthocyans) were diminished by applying various cooking treatments.

Anthocyans, containing anthocyanins and anthocyanidins, play a crucial role in preventing and treating inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Most anthocyanins and their basic elements, namely anthocyanidins have been recognized for the effective treatment of IBD, but the key biomarkers of anthocyan-treated IBD remain unclear. In this study, a bioinformatics analysis based on network pharmacology was performed to demonstrate the core-targets, biological functions, and signaling pathways of most common anthocyanidins that existed in anthocyans to reveal their potential or major mechanisms.

The phenolic compounds of red wines are responsible for their color, astringency, and antioxidant properties. The fermentative yeasts might be used to modulate wines in terms of their color, aroma and probably healthy properties. In this study, six non- species were tested because they might enhance the properties of red Tempranillo wines from Rioja.

Anthocyan-rich foods have attracted lots of attention because of their potential biological and pharmacological applications. Anthocyanins richly exist in blueberry fruits and have been proved to possess various bioactive properties. Despite the potential application of anthocyanins in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, their use is limited because of their relative instability.
