Introduction: Quercetin (Qc), rutin (Ru), and hyperoside (Hyp) are three common polyphenols widely distributed in the plant kingdom.

Method: This study explored the inhibition and mechanisms of Qc, Ru, and Hyp against xanthine oxidase (XOD) by enzyme kinetic analysis, fluorescence analysis, and molecular docking. The inhibitory activities of the three polyphenols on XOD showed the following trend: quercetin > hyperoside > rutin, with IC50 values of 8.327 ± 0.36 µmol/L, 35.215 ± 0.4 µmol/L and 60.811 ± 0.19 µmol/L, respectively. All three polyphenols inhibited xanthine oxidase activity in a mixed-competitive manner. Synchronous fluorescence results demonstrated that three polyphenols binding to XOD were spontaneous and showed static quenching.

Result: The binding of the three polyphenols to XOD is mainly driven by hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces, resulting in the formation of an XOD-XA complex with only one affinity binding site. The binding sites of the three RSFQ phenolic compounds are close to those of tryptophan. Molecular docking showed that all three polyphenols enter the active pocket of XOD and maintain the stability of the complex through hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interaction, and van der Waals forces.

Conclusion: The results provide a theoretical basis for quercetin, rutin, and hyperoside to be used as function factors to prevent hyperuricemia.

Research Background: Recently, consumers have been increasingly interested in highly nutritional and health-promoting products in the form of functional foods that are produced using environmentally friendly processes as part of the circular economy. Therefore, much research has been carried out related to the valorisation of waste generated during the processing of food, especially fruit and vegetables, commonly referred to as by-products. These by-products consist of peels, seeds, stems or pomace, which have been shown to have valuable nutritional properties (high content of polyphenols, vitamins, antioxidants, ).

Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and impaired muscle recovery significantly affect athletes and recreational exercisers, influencing their performance and training consistency. Resveratrol, a natural polyphenol known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, is thought to mitigate these effects, yet its effectiveness remains to be fully verified. This systematic review evaluates the impact of RES supplementation on muscle recovery in adults by examining its influence on DOMS, oxidative stress, and inflammation, along with its interactions with other supplements.
