    The aim of this study was to investigate the extraction process and antioxidant activity of polyphenols from Yunnan Mengzi pomegranate peel. Single factor and orthogonal test were used as optimize the extract rate (ER) of polyphenols from pomegranate peel (PGP). The polyphenols antioxidant activity was evaluated by DPPH·, ·OH and total reducing ability, and compared with that of Vc. The optimum extraction conditions of polyphenols were as follows: ethanol concentration of 50%, liquid-solid ratio of 50:1, extraction temperature of 90 °C, extraction for 4 h. Under these conditions, the ER of polyphenols from GPG was 8.15%. The results showed that the scavenging eff ects of polyphenols and Vc on DPPH·, ·OH increased with increasing concentration, and the scavenging eff ect of polyphenols on DPPH· was higher than Vc in rang of 0.1-1.6 μg/mL. When the concentration is greater than 0.6 μg/mL, the scavenging eff ects of plyphenols on ·OH is higher than Vc. The total reducing ability of polyphenols from PGP improved with the increase of concentration, and when the concentration was 8 μg/mL, the total reducing ability was 114 U/mL.

    Exploring the mechanism of hypolipidemic effect of polyphenols in wolfberry based on network pharmacology and molecular docking

    To explore the mechanism of hypolipidemic action of wolfberry polyphenols by using network pharmacology and molecular docking. The active ingredients and targets of wolfberry were searched by TCMSP, and the Cytoscape 3.9.0 software was used to construct a “ wolfberry component-target” network. The Gene Cards database was used to screen the hyperlipidemic targets and intersect them with the active targets of wolfberry to construct the PPI network using the STRING platform. The gene ontology (GO) function and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis of the core targets were carried out on the Metascape platform, and molecular docking of the active ingredients to the core targets was performed using AutoDockTools software. A total of 33 active ingredients and 173 potential targets of wolfberry were screened, including 99 targets related to hyperlipidemia. The results of the analysis of 99 intersecting targets with the components of wolfberry identifi ed the core active ingredients as quercetin, glycitein and atropine. The binding of the major components of wolfberry, including the polyphenolic compounds quercetin and glycitein, as well as atropine to the key targets AKT1, IL6 and TNF may be important mechanisms for the hypolipidemic therapeutic eff ect. GO functional enrichment analysis involves biological processes, cellular components, and molecular functions. The KEGG pathway enrichment analysis mainly involves the AGE-RAGE signaling pathway, fluid shear stress, and TNF signaling pathway. Molecular docking validated the good binding activity of the targets to the active ingredients. The binding of atropine and the polyphenolic compounds quercetin and glycitein to the key targets AKT1, IL6 and TNF may be an important mechanism for the hypolipidemic therapeutic effect of wolfberry.

    Molecular mechanism of Solanum Nigrum Linn in alcoholic liver damage based on network pharmacology and molecular docking
    Ziqi Sun, Xiaoli Wang, Xueying Wang, Nan Yang, Xiaoshu Zhang
    2023 (2):  71-80. 
    摘要 ( 62 )   PDF(5441KB) ( 47 )  
    Solanum Nigrum Linn, the purpose of this study was to characterize the chemical components of the extract of Solanum Nigrum Linn by LC-MS/MS, and to identify 29 compounds by positive and negative total ion flow maps. The potential mechanism of action of Solanum Nigrum Linn in treating alcoholic liver injury was investigated by means of network pharmacology and molecular docking. A total of 288 component target genes and 1 010 disease target genes were obtained, and 98 intersection targets and 7 core targets were obtained after the intersection of the two genes. GO analysis and KEGG analysis respectively obtained 20 signaling pathways such as anti-infl ammation and anti-apoptosis. The results of molecular docking showed that the blood components could successfully dock with the target proteins of the disease such as GAPDH, IL6, SRC, EGFR and ESR1. This study provided a scientifi c basis for the development and application of Solanum Nigrum Linn.

    Polyphenol content and antioxidant activity in mulberry powder treated at high temperature
    Jiajun Yin, Junan Zheng, Xin Li, Jiaqing Cao, Xinyao Guan, Xiangrong Zhang
    2023 (2):  81-87. 
    摘要 ( 50 )   PDF(3496KB) ( 32 )  
    The aim of this study was to investigate changes of polyphenols content and the antioxidant activity of mulberry fruit powder after heating at high temperature. The mulberry fruit powder was heated by baking method at different temperature and time. The DPPH scavenging ability, the OH•- scavenging ability and the O2•- scavenging ability were used to evaluate the changes in the antioxidant activity of the mulberry fruit powder after the heat treatment. The results showed that 74.87% of the polyphenols in the mulberry powder were lost after heating at 150 ℃ for 5 min, and almost all the polyphenols were lost with the increase of the heating time and temperature. The antioxidant experiment showed that the DPPH scavenging rate, OH•- scavenging rate and O2•- scavenging rate of mulberry fruit powder were 68.90%, 39.15% and 14.09%, respectively after treatment at 150 ℃ for 5 min. Mulberry fruit powder still has some potential to be added to baked goods as a functional ingredient.
