Article Synopsis
  • Flavonoids are compounds that modulate cellular processes in eukaryotic cells and are found in wine and beer ingredients.
  • They can affect the quality of ethanol in these beverages by regulating gene expression and influencing the activity of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, which help yeast manage ethanol stress.
  • Research indicates that flavonoids and their derivatives can stimulate or inhibit mRNA expression and ABC protein activity, impacting bioethanol production during different growth phases of yeast.

Hypochlorite (HOCl) is one of the most important mediators of inflammatory processes. Recent evidence demonstrates that changes in intracellular calcium pool play a significant role in the damaging effects of hypochlorite and other oxidants. Mitochondria are shown to be one of the intracellular targets of hypochlorite.

ABC (ATP-binding cassette) proteins can transport metabolic molecules and removes metabolic products and xenobiotics from the cell. The important problem is to study activity and search inhibitors of ABC proteins. There is a problem that ABC-proteins can transport hydrophobic drugs across the cell membrane due to their high substrate specificity.

Structure-related biological activities of flavanones are still considered largely unexplored. Since they exhibit various medicinal activities, it is intriguing to enter deeper into their chemical structures, electronic transitions or interactions with some biomolecules in order to find properties that allow us to better understand their effects. Little information is available on biological activity of flavanone and its monohydroxy derivatives in relation to their physicochemical properties as spectral profiles, existence of protonated/deprotonated species under pH changes or interaction with Calf Thymus DNA.

It is well known that the terpenoid ferutinin (4-oxy-6-(4-oxybenzoyloxy) dauc-8,9-en), isolated from the plant Ferula tenuisecta, considerably increases the permeability of artificial and cellular membranes to Ca-ions and produces apoptotic cell death in different cell lines in a mitochondria-dependent manner. The present study was designed for further evaluation of the mechanism(s) of mitochondrial effects of ferutinin using isolated rat liver mitochondria. Our findings provide evidence for ferutinin at concentrations of 5-27 µM to decrease state 3 respiration and the acceptor control ratio in the case of glutamate/malate as substrates.

Fisetin (3,3',4',7-tetrahydroxyflavone) metal chelates are of interest as this plant polyphenol has revealed broad prospects for its use as natural medicine in the treatment of various diseases. Metal interactions may change or enhance fisetin biological properties so understanding fisetin metal chelation is important for its application not only in medicine but also as a food additive in nutritional supplements. This work was aimed to determine and characterize copper complexes formed in different pH range at applying various metal/ligand ratios.
