In the present investigation, 48 new tertiary amine derivatives of cinnamic acid, phenylpropionic acid, sorbic acid and hexanoic acid (4d-6g, 10d-12g, 16d-18g and 22d-24g) were designed, synthesized and evaluated for the effect on AChE and BChE in vitro. The results revealed that the alteration of aminoalkyl types and substituted positions markedly influences the effects in inhibiting AChE. Almost of all cinnamic acid derivatives had the most potent inhibitory activity than that of other acid derivatives with the same aminoalkyl side chain. Unsaturated bond and benzene ring in cinnamic acid scaffold seems important for the inhibitory activity against AChE. Among them, compound 6g revealed the most potent AChE inhibitory activity (IC value: 3.64 µmol/L) and highest selectivity over BChE (ratio: 28.6). Enzyme kinetic study showed that it present a mixed-type inhibition against AChE. The molecular docking study suggested that it can bind with the catalytic site and peripheral site of AChE.

High rehydration beverage consumption represents a significant opportunity for the integration of biotic products that offer the potential to improve body composition and intestinal health. (IQS) infusions contain polyphenolic compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and in combination with probiotic strains and prebiotic materials, they offer a promising alternative for generating designer beverages for physically active people. These beverages were formulated using a combination of IQS, agave fructooligosaccharides (FOS), microencapsulated probiotics of and , electrolytes, and glucose.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a widespread condition that affects adults and the community considerably. The causes are yet unknown, except from advanced age and genetic predisposition. Natural products provided advantageous advantages for managing AD due to their efficacy, safety, and accessibility.

Despite the recognized neuroprotective benefits of curcumin, its clinical utility is constrained by poor bioavailability and high cytotoxicity at effective doses. This study evaluates the therapeutic potential of curcumin-derived carbon quantum dots (Cur-CQDs) for retinal protection against ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury in rats. Cur-CQDs were synthesized mild pyrolysis at varying temperatures and assessed for efficacy in rat retinal ganglion cells and a model of retinal IR injury.

The development of advanced starch-based materials is hindered by limited understanding of structure-dependent phenolic acid (PA) binding mechanisms. This study employed a multi-technique approach (Fourier-transform infrared, x-ray diffraction, rheology, molecular docking) to investigate 16 PAs with varying hydroxylation patterns and methoxy substitutions. Three distinct binding modes were identified: (1) Polyhydroxylated acids (e.

Microplastics (MPs) are widespread in water environments and can affect gut microbiota and host metabolism of fish, but whether changes in host metabolism under MPs are mediated by gut microbiota remains unclear. Here, silver carp, a filter-feeding fish with important ecological functions, was in-situ exposure to environmentally relevant MPs. Multi-omics analysis and fecal microbiota transplantation were used to reveal the metabolic responses of carp along gut-liver-muscle axis.
