Article Abstract

This study investigates the optimal conditions to enrich the phenolic content of the extract from leaves and evaluates the bioactivities of this enrichment. The phenolic enrichment was prepared under optimized conditions using the response surface methodology (RSM) with the Box-Behnken design. The antioxidant properties were assessed using DPPH and hydroxyl radical scavenging assays, while the NO production inhibition was measured in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. Results indicated that the phenolic enrichment showed potent antioxidant activity comparable to ascorbic acid and catechin and significantly higher NO inhibition than the separated nonalkaloid and alkaloid fractions. The study also highlights the synergistic effect of phenolic and alkaloid compounds on the antioxidants and anti-inflammatory activities of the phenolic enrichment from leaves.

Objective: This study employs integrated network toxicology and molecular docking to investigate the molecular basis underlying 4-nonylphenol (4-NP)-mediated enhancement of breast cancer susceptibility.

Methods: We integrated data from multiple databases, including ChEMBL, STITCH, Swiss Target Prediction, GeneCards, OMIM and TTD. Core compound-disease-associated target genes were identified through Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) network analysis.

Patulin (PAT), a mycotoxin primarily produced by Penicillium species, presents a serious food safety challenge due to its widespread occurrence and harmful health effects. Among current detoxification approaches, yeast-based degradation is particularly promising, offering high efficiency, environmental sustainability, and preservation of food quality-key attributes for industrial application. However, the enzymatic pathways involved and the potential for concurrent quality enhancement remain poorly understood.

The hop plant is gaining interest in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries due to its abundance of secondary metabolites. However, branches and leaves, despite their antioxidant potential, are typically discarded. To valorize these components as functional ingredients they were dried, milled into hop powder (HP), and used to enrich bread.
