The increased formation and accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) has been implicated in pathogenesis of various chronic ailments, including diabetes-associated secondary complications, atherosclerosis, aging, inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, inhibition of AGEs formation is an imperative strategy for alleviating diverse pathologies. Here, we have demonstrated the AGEs inhibitory activity of -glucogallin, isolated for the first time from the roots of . -glucogallin significantly mitigated fructose-, glucose- and methylglyoxal-induced glycation of bovine serum albumin (BSA). Also, the presence of -glucogallin decreased fructosamine and protein carbonyls content, and increased thiol group content in the fructose-BSA system. These activities of -glucogallin from underscore its likely pharmacological potential for impeding AGEs-related metabolic disorders.

As one of nature's most fundamental blueprints and due to its critical role in life processes, DNA has naturally become the cornerstone of numerous research efforts. One particularly intriguing area of study is understanding how small molecules interact with nucleic acids. In this study, we investigated the interaction between the plant-derived indole alkaloid Raubasine (Ajmalicine; AJM) and Salmon Testes (ST) DNA using biophysical and computational techniques.

Diacylglycerol (DAG) is a functional oil but is rarely used in the cosmetic industry because low solubility, susceptibility to leakage and low viscosity to skin are still the main hurdles. A novel diacylglycerol nanostructured lipid carrier hydrogel (GTP-DAG-NLC-GEL) loaded with green tea polyphenol (GTP) was designed and successfully prepared to broaden DAG's application in cosmetics, which significantly improved GTP stability and skin stickiness of DAG. The results showed that DAG-NLC-GEL had good viscosity, which was 980 Pa·s when the shear rate was 5 rpm, and its viscosity decreased quickly with the increase in shear rate, making it easily expand on skin.

Idesia polycarpa Maxim (IPM) cake meal, a major by-product of oil extraction, is often discarded in large quantities, resulting in considerable waste. This study explored the extraction of IPM polysaccharides (IPMPs) from cake meal using the innovative ultrasonic-assisted three-phase partitioning (UTPP) method, in comparison with conventional techniques, including acid, medium-temperature alkali, chelating agent, and enzyme extraction methods. The IPMP-UT prepared via UTPP method achieved superior extraction efficiency (10.

ʟ-Carnosine is a dipeptide with notable antioxidant, antiglycation, metal chelating, and neuroprotective properties. Despite its many biological roles, applying ʟ-carnosine as a capping agent in nanoparticle synthesis has remained underexplored. This study explores the potential of ʟ-carnosine in synthesizing tunable plasmonic silver nanoparticles (ʟ-car-AgNPs).
