Article Abstract
A stimuli-responsive drug delivery system consisting of mesoporous silica with its surface modified by p-coumaric acid derivatives (CA) as photo-switchable ligands was studied for the delivery of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) naproxen. For this purpose, MCM-41 mesoporous silica material was prepared and post-synthetically modified by the grafting of a triethoxysilyl derivative of p-coumaric acid, which undergoes a reversible photo-dimerization under UV irradiation and creates the "valves" on the surface of silica allowing targeted opening/closing of the pores. Naproxen was encapsulated into grafted MCM-41 and drug release studies were performed in two different media, in a simulated gastric fluid (pH = 2) and in a simulated body fluid (pH = 7.4). Differences in drug release were observed after irradiation of the material using UV light at λ = 365 nm (closed pore configuration) and UV light at λ = 254 nm (opened pore configuration).

Influence of Cooking Methods on Phenolic Compounds and their Activities in Pea Shoots (Pisum sativum).

Pea shoots (Pisum sativum) are well known to have nutritional benefits when consumed raw; however, the effects of home cooking on their bioactive compounds remain unclear. Therefore, we investigated how different cooking methods affect the antioxidant activity and stability of antioxidants. Our evaluation revealed that antioxidant activity is preserved by steaming but significantly reduced by microwaving and boiling, which also causes weight loss during cooking.

To determine the optimal cultivation duration and harvest period for cultivated Notopterygium incisum and promote its industrial development, this study established a characteristic chromatographic profile of cultivated N. incisum and employed chemometrics combined with entropy-weighted grey correlation analysis to assess differences in agronomic traits and quality indicators across different cultivation years and harvest periods. By comparing with reference substances, ten common peaks were identified, including chlorogenic acid, p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, marmesinin, nodakenin, isochlorogenic acid B, notopterol, phenethyl ferulate, isoimperatorin, and falcarindiol.
