The interactions of tetracycline (TC), oxytetracycline (OTC) and chlortetracycline (CTC) with ovalbumin (OVA), the main allergen protein of egg white, were investigated by molecular spectroscopy and electrophoresis at three pH conditions (1.5, 4.6 and 7.4). Molecular and synchronous fluorescence, UV-vis spectroscopy, electrophoresis and H NMR were used to study the interaction process. Tetracyclines interact with ovalbumin fluorescence by a static quenching mechanism with non-fluorescent complex formation changing the native protein structure. The binding constant (K) ranged from 2.11×10 to 58.4×10Lmol, and corresponding thermodynamic parameters were measured at different temperatures and pH values. The binding process was spontaneous (ΔG<0), and the magnitude of the interaction increased in the following order: TC

Shuanghuanglian (SHL) and its primary constituents have demonstrated protective effects against allergenic diseases. This review examines the anaphylactic and anti-allergenic activities of SHL and its constituents. We also discuss potential avenues for future research, particularly regarding the expansion of the clinical applications of SHL formulations (oral or nebulized) for the treatment of allergenic disorders.

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic immune-mediated esophageal disease, clinically characterised by symptoms of esophageal dysfunction and histologically by eosinophilic infiltration of its wall. The last 3 decades have seen a sharp increase in its incidence to the point that it is called the second most common esophageal disease after reflux disease in some recent studies. The main indicators of EoE are food allergens and in recent years the extremely important role of oral immunotherapy (OIT) in the development of this disease has also been increasingly raised.

Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a recurrent inflammatory disease associated with several comorbidities and a significant disease burden for patients. Treatments include corticosteroids and sinonasal surgery, but these can be associated with the risk of adverse events and nasal polyp recurrence. Biologic treatments such as mepolizumab can be used as an add-on treatment and are effective at reducing surgery and corticosteroid use.

Malt protein Z (PZ), the main albumin in malt endosperm, exhibits trypsin inhibitory activity and has the ability to bind fat-soluble active molecules. However, its potential utilization as a food ingredient necessitates an evaluation of its allergenicity. Lycopene has many functional activities, such as antioxidant and treatment or alleviation of various diseases, but its tendency to degrade easily hinders its effective utilization.
