To address this deficiency, we used high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array and electrospray triple quadrupole mass detection for comparative qualitative and quantitative analysis of the metabolic profiles of Rhodiola rosea organs before and after gastrointestinal digestion in simulated conditions together with various biochemical assays to determine antioxidant properties of the extracts and selected compounds. R. rosea organs showed 146 compounds, including galloyl O-glucosides, catechins, procyanidins, simple phenolics, phenethyl alcohol derivatives, (hydroxy)cinnamates, hydroxynitrile glucosides, monoterpene O-glucosides, and flavonol O-glycosides, most of them for the first time in the species.

Abstract: Flavonoids belong to a class of plant secondary metabolites that have a polyphenol structure. Flavonoids show extensive biological activity, such as antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, anti-mutagenic, anti-cancer, and antibacterial properties, so they are widely used in the food, phar- maceutical, and nutraceutical industries. However, traditional sources of flavonoids are no longer sufficient to meet current demands. In recent years, with the clarification of the biosynthetic pathway of flavonoids and the development of synthetic biology, it has become possible to use synthetic metabolic engineering methods with microorganisms as hosts to produce flavonoids. This article mainly reviews the biosynthetic pathways of flavonoids and the development of microbial expression systems for the production of flavonoids in order to provide a useful reference for further research on synthetic metabolic engineering of flavonoids. Meanwhile, the application of co-culture systems in the biosynthesis of flavonoids is emphasized in this review.

Methods: The expression levels of cyclooxygenase (COX)-1, COX-2 and tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were determined by western blotting; the inhibition of these proteins by plant compounds was evaluated. In addition, a computational simulation of the molecular interactions of the compounds at the active sites of the proteins was performed using a molecular docking approach. Absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) and toxicity analysis of the plant compounds was also performed. Results: Kaempferol, myricetin and fisetin inhibited the activities of COX-1, COX-2 and TNF-α by 70–88 %. The computational simulation revealed the molecular interactions of these compounds at the active sites of COX-1, COX-2 and TNF-α. ADME and toxicity analysis demonstrated that the three plant compounds were safe. Conclusion: The data obtained indicate that myricetin, kaempferol and fisetin exert anti-inflammatory effects in neonatal rats, with fewer side effects than those of ibuprofen.

Josepa Salvadó,* Ester Casanova, Anabel Fernández-Iglesias, Lluis Arola and Cinta Bladé Obesity is a multifactorial disorder involving an abnormal or excessive amount of body fat. Obese people have a very high probability of developing metabolic syndrome, a condition in which cholesterol, lipid, and glucose levels rise, causing diabetes and heart disease. From the point of view of energy balance, the main contributors to obesity are excessive energy intake, inadequate energy expenditure and metabolic malfunctions. For this reason, health organisations are working to implement policies and plans to promote healthy eating and active living. However, these measures have not yet proven sufficient to combat this worldwide epidemic; therefore, drugs and bioactive compounds are being investigated to complement the existing strategies. In the present review, we discuss the available data regarding the Received 13th November 2014, modulation of obesity by proanthocyanidin rich extracts.

  • Antioxidant Evaluation-Guided Chemical Profiling and Structure
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Antioxidant evaluation-guided chemical profling and structure- activity analysis of leaf extracts from fve trees in Broussonetia and Morus (Moraceae) Xinxin Cao1, Lingguang Yang1, Qiang Xue1, Fan Yao1, Jing Sun1, Fuyu Yang2 & Yujun Liu 1* Morus and Broussonetia trees are widely used as food and/or feed. Among 23 phenolics identifed from leaves of fve Moraceae species using UPLC–QTOF–MS/MS, 15 were screened using DPPH/ABTS- guided HPLCs, including seven weak (favonoids with one hydroxyl on B-ring) and eight strong (four cafeoylquinic acids and four favonoids, each with a double hydroxyl on B-ring) antioxidants. We then determined the activity and synergistic efects of individual antioxidants and a mixture of the eight strongest antioxidants using DPPH-guided HPLC. Our fndings revealed that (1) favonoid glucuronide may have a more negative efect on antioxidant activity than glucoside, and (2) other compounds in the mixture may exert a negative synergistic efect on antioxidant activity of the four favonoids with B-ring double hydroxyls but not the four cafeoylquinic acids. In conclusion, the eight phenolics with the strongest antioxidant ability reliably represented the bioactivity of the fve extracts examined in this study. Moreover, the Morus alba hybrid had more phenolic biosynthesis machinery than its cross-parent M. alba, whereas the Broussonetia papyrifera hybrid had signifcantly less phenolic machinery than B. papyrifera. This diference is probably the main reason for livestock preference for the hybrid of B. papyrifera over B. papyrifera in feed. Morus and Broussonetia tree species (family: Moraceae) have high economic value; among other uses, their leaves are widely used as feed to improve meat quality.

K.Koch Carya illinoinensis; (Juglandaceae) showed a significant antioxidant and hepatoprotective Juglandaceae; activities in a dose of 100 mg/ kg body weight. Fifteen phenolic compounds Phenolic compounds; were isolated from the active extract among which ten were identified for Hepatoprotective activity. the first time from Carya illinoinensis . Their structures were elucidated to be gallic acid(1), methyl gallate(2), P-hydroxy benzoic acid(3), 2,3-digalloyl- 4 â 4 -D- C1-glucopyranoside(4), kaempferol-3-O- -D- C1-galactopyranoside, ’-O-galloyl)- 4 trifolin(8), querectin-3-O-(6' -D- C1-galactopyranoside(9), ’-O-galloyl)- 4 kaempferol-3-O-(6' -D- C1-galactopyranoside(10), ellagic acid(11), 3,3' dimethoxyellagic acid(12), epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate(13). Establishment of all structures were based on the conventional methods of analysis and confirmed by NMR spectral analysis. 2007 Trade Science Inc. - INDIA INTRODUCTION dition, caryatin(quercetin-3,5-dimethyl ether) , caryatin glucoside and rhamnoglucoside were also isolated from Family Juglandaceae includes the deciduous gen- the bark[4], while, quercetin glycoside, galactoside, rham- era, Juglans(walnuts) and Carya(hickories).
