Article Abstract
Unlabelled: Piperine, the primary bioactive compound in black pepper, was complexed with cyclic glucans, including cycloamylose (CA), α-cyclodextrin, and 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, to investigate the complexation effects on its solubility, stability, bioavailability, and cellular antioxidant activity (CAA). The formation of inclusion complex (IC) significantly improved the phase solubility of piperine and enhanced its stability under ultraviolet light, heat, and acidic conditions. Additionally, IC increased the retention rate of piperine after in vitro digestion. Permeability analysis using a Caco-2 cell monolayer showed that IC samples, particularly CAIC, reduced the efflux ratio compared to free piperine by decreasing the apparent permeability coefficient from apical-to-basolateral (P). Moreover, the enhanced cellular uptake capacity of piperine in IC contributed to a marked improvement in its CAA, CAIC showing the most pronounced effect. Therefore, inclusion complexation with cyclic glucans, especially CA, can be a practical strategy to overcome the lower solubility and bioavailability of free piperine in various industrial applications.

Molecular recognition and determination of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and natriuretic peptide C-type (NPPC) are essential for the early prognosis and diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases, especially in young obese populations. Highly sensitive and selective devices characterized by low Limits of quantification are required for their determination in whole blood. Therefore, a 3D stochastic sensor was developed by immobilizing a chitosan hydrogel onto a carbon paste electrode (used as the support matrix for the hydrogel), which was subsequently modified with gold nanoparticles, multi-walled carbon nanotubes, and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD/AuNPs@MWCNT/CS/CPE).

We introduce Host-Gated Enzymatic Release (H-GER) as an alternative colorimetric signal transduction mechanism for measuring amylase activity. This assay uses a visually colored complex formed when hydroxypropyl-γ-cyclodextrin (HP-γ-CD) binds to the aggregachromic dye CRANAD-2, with the HP side chains playing a key role in the complexation. The analytical capability of this visually addressable assay relies on changes in dye dispersity, triggered by the enzymatic release of gated CRANAD-2 from HP-γ-CD host.

Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC) is a life-threatening neurodegenerative disease caused by impaired intracellular cholesterol trafficking. A cyclic heptasaccharide, 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD), is currently under clinical investigation for treating NPC, but its ototoxicity remains problematic. We previously reported that β- and γ-forms of cyclodextrin (CD) derivatives with various substituents capable of accommodating/solubilizing unesterified cholesterol (UC) exerted more pronounced therapeutic and ototoxic effects when administered intracerebroventricularly than subcutaneously for NPC treatment.

The high-performance retention and drainage systems for papermaking is critical for achieving sustainability in papermaking. This study was aimed at examining the potential of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl oxidized cellulose nanofibrils (TOCNs), characterized by high carboxyl content, strong negative charge, and large specific surface area, as a replacement for colloidal silica (SiO) in the classic cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM)/SiO/anionic polyacrylamide (APAM) system (CPAM/SiO/APAM) in papermaking. The replacement objective was to improve the retention and drainage performance during papermaking and enhance paper sheet strength.

Electron microscopy is commonly used to determine size distributions of cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs). However, the results are not always clear due to difficulty isolating individual CNFs from highly entangled networks thereof. Herein, the length distributions of TEMPO(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl radical)-oxidized CNFs (T-CNFs) were determined via agarose gel electrophoresis, which is widely used for size-based separation of DNA.
