Article Abstract

To research the correlation between accumulation of triterpenoids and expression of key enzymes genes in triterpenoid biosynthesis of Alisma orientale,the study utilized UPLC-MS/MS method to detect eight triterpenoids content in the tuber of A. orientale from different growth stages,including alisol A,alisol A 24 acetate,alisol B,alisol B 23 acetate,alisol C 23 acetate,alisol F,alisol F 24 acetate and alisol G,and then the Real time quantitative PCR was used to analyze the expression of key enzymes genes HMGR and FPPS in triterpenoid biosynthesis. Correlation analysis showed that there was a significant positive relation between the total growth of these eight triterpenoids and the average relative expression of HMGR and FPPS(HMGR: r = 0. 998,P<0. 01; FPPS: r = 0. 957,P<0. 05),respectively. Therefore,the study preliminarily determined that HMGR and FPPS genes could regulate the biosynthesis of triterpenoids in A. orientale,which laid a foundation for further research on the biosynthesis and regulation mechanism of triterpenoids in A. orientale.

Bacoside A (BCA), a triterpenoid saponin isolated from Bacopa monnieri, exhibits diverse pharmacological properties, including neuroprotective, hepatoprotective, anti-stress, anti-inflammatory, and anti-ulcer effects. In the present study, BCA demonstrates pronounced anticancer activity against K562 chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) cells by modulating autophagy-apoptosis dynamics. BCA induces dose- and time-dependent cytotoxicity in K562 cells while sparing normal human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (hPBMCs) and Vero cells, indicating therapeutic selectivity.

The effect of feeding Hermetia illucens larvae (black soldier fly, BSFL) with by-products from olive oil (dry olive leaves, OL; full-fat dry olive pomace, OP) or quinoa (quinoa husk, QH) on the bioaccumulation of bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity of the meals was evaluated. Diets were formulated with different percentages of inclusion (OL15, OL30, OL50; OP30, OP50, OP70, OP90; QH15, QH30, QH50). Antioxidant activity (DPPH and ABTS methods), total phenolic compounds (TPC), targeted bioactive compounds analysis, and estimation of efficiency of bioaccumulation (EB) were performed, and compared to the experimental substrates.

Drug delivery based on dynamic morphological transformation represents the cutting-edge strategy at the forefront of chemotherapy, integrating individual advantages that depend on the delivery stage and spatially resolved morphology. However, developing a tumor-specific, in vivo morphologically transformable small-molecule drug delivery system to achieve enhanced drug accumulation and photodynamic therapy (PDT) efficacy remains challenging. In this study, a multifunctional PDT formulation using natural small molecules as nanocarriers is developed, combining a tumor-targeting photosensitizer and anti-angiogenic therapy.

To date, a large body of data has been accumulated on the biological activity of a low-toxic natural glycoside, glycyrrhizic acid (GA), but the mechanism of its action at the molecular level has not been fully studied. Expanding knowledge about the spectrum of cellular protein targets of GA contributes to understanding new features of pharmacodynamics. The aim of the work was the experimental identification of a tissue-specific spectrum of protein molecules interacting with GA in a model system.

Obesity and overweight are two highly prevalent conditions worldwide, which can lead to death or produce chronic and degenerative diseases. The search for alternative therapies to control these morbidities can involve the study of metabolites obtained from plants. Particularly, pentacyclic triterpenes produce an antiadipogenic effect by affecting the expression of master regulators of adipogenesis and their signaling pathways, including LKB1-AMPK pathway.
