A specific and sensitive method has been developed for the determination of phloroglucinol in plasma; it involves an optimized procedure for blood sampling designed to minimize the in vitro oxidation of the molecule, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry after silylation of the compound. The method allowed a reliable determination of phloroglucinol in plasma. The precision and accuracy of the assay, reported as coefficients of variation, were below 15%. Using a plasma sample of 0.25 ml, the limit of quantitation was 5 ng/ml with a precision of 17.4%, which is sensitive enough for pharmacokinetic studies. Stability studies under different conditions revealed that ascorbic acid limits the degradation of phloroglucinol in plasma during storage at freezer temperatures.

(), an edible brown alga, is rich in isophloroglucin A (IPA) phlorotannin compounds and is effective in preventing diseases, including diabetes. We evaluated its anti-glycation ability, intracellular reactive oxygen species scavenging activity, inhibitory effect on the accumulation of intracellular MGO/MGO-derived advanced glycation end products (AGE), and regulation of downstream signaling pathways related to the AGE-receptor for AGEs (RAGE) interaction. IPA (0.

This study focuses on developing innovative and eco-friendly purification methods for the isolation of bioactive compounds derived from , a brown abundant macroalga in Djibouti. Three distinct fractions, obtained via liquid-liquid extraction (LLE_FAE), solid-phase extraction (SPE_WE50), and flash chromatography (FC_EtOH20), were selected based on their high phenolic content and antioxidant activities. All fractions were also evaluated for their anti-ageing potential by assessing their ability to inhibit two vital skin-ageing enzymes, tyrosinase and elastase.

Pancreatic cell damage in diabetes mellitus is closely linked to inflammation and apoptosis. This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of phloroglucinol on pancreatic cells in a streptozotocin-induced diabetic model by assessing its anti- inflammatory and anti-apoptotic mechanisms. Phloroglucinol ligand and the structures of Bax, Bcl-2, and caspase-3 proteins were sourced from the PubChem database.
