The inhibition of α-glucosidase and glycation is considered as an effective approach for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. In this study, multispectroscopic and molecular docking techniques were employed to investigate the inhibition of tannic acid on α-glucosidase and glycation. Kinetics analyses revealed that tannic acid had a significant inhibition on α-glucosidase (IC = 0.35 ± 0.02 μM) in a reversible and mixed competitive manner. The results acquired from fluorescence quenching and ANS-binding fluorescence methods revealed that tannic acid could bind to α-glucosidase and reduce the hydrophobic area on the surface of the enzyme. In addition, synchronous fluorescence analysis showed that tannic acid decreased the hydrophobicity of α-glucosidase and changed the conformation of the enzyme. In vitro glycation assays showed that tannic acid had strong inhibitory effects on the formation of fructosamine, dicarbonyl compounds, and fluorescent AGEs. ANS-binding fluorescence analysis showed that tannic acid could bind to BSA and reduce the hydrophobicity of BSA in glycation. Moreover, the results of molecular docking showed the interaction between tannic acid and α-glucosidase was mainly driven by hydrogen bond, electrostatic, and hydrophobic interaction. And the interaction between tannic acid and BSA was mainly driven by hydrogen bond and hydrophobic interaction.

Introduction: The mechanism of tannic acid (TA) intervention on methicillin-resistant (MRSA, USA 300) biofilm formation was explored using proteomics.

Methods: The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of TA against the MRSA standard strain USA 300 was determined by two-fold serial dilution of the microbroth. The effects of TA were studied using crystal violet staining.

A multifunctional mitochondria-protective gene delivery platform promote intervertebral disc regeneration.

Biomaterials

December 2024

National Engineering Research Center for Biomaterials, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan, China. Electronic address:

Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a deleterious condition driven by localized inflammation and the associated disruption of the normal homeostatic balance between anabolism and catabolism, contributing to progressive functional abnormalities within the nucleus pulposus (NP). Despite our prior evidence demonstrating that a miR-21 inhibitor can have regenerative effects that counteract the progression of IDD, its application for IDD treatment remains limited by the inadequacy of current local delivery systems. Here, an injectable tannic acid (TA)-loaded hydrogel gene delivery system was developed and used for the encapsulation of a multifunctional mitochondria-protecting gene nanocarrier (PHs).
