Our previous studies found that formononetin triggered growth-inhibitory and apoptotic activities in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. We performed in vivo and in vitro studies to further investigate the potential effect of biochanin A in promoting cell proliferation in estrogen receptor (ER)- positive cells, and to elucidate underlying mechanisms. Methods: ERα-positive breast cancer cells (T47D, MCF-7) were treated with biochanin A. The MTT assay and flow cytometry were used to assess cell proliferation and apoptosis.

  • Protection of PC12 Cells Against Superoxide-Induced Damage by Isoflavonoids from Astragalus Mongholicus1
    BIOMEDICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES 22, 50-54 (2009) www.besjournal.com Protection of PC12 Cells against Superoxide-induced Damage by 1 Isoflavonoids from Astragalus mongholicus ＃ + + ＃,2 DE-HONG YU , YONG-MING BAO , LI-JIA AN , AND MING YANG ＃The State Key Laboratory of Natural and Biomimetic Drugs, Peking University, Beijing 100083, China; +Department of Bioscience and Biotechnology, Dalian University of Technology, Dalian 116024, Liaoning, China Objective To further investigate the neuroprotective effects of five isoflavonoids from Astragalus mongholicus on xanthine (XA)/ xanthine oxidase (XO)-induced injury to PC12 cells. Methods PC12 cells were damaged by XA/XO. The activities of antioxidant enzymes, MTT, LDH, and GSH assays were used to evaluate the protection of these five isoflavonoids. Contents of Bcl-2 family proteins were determined with flow cytometry. Results Among the five isoflavonoids including formononetin, ononin, 9, 10-dimethoxypterocarpan-3-O-β-D-glucoside, calycosin and calycosin-7-O-glucoside, calycosin and calycosin-7-O-glucoside were found to inhibit XA/ XO-induced injury to PC12 cells. Their EC50 values of formononetin and calycosin were 0.05 μg/mL. Moreover, treatment with these three isoflavonoids prevented a decrease in the activities of antioxidant enzymes, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), while formononetin and calycosin could prevent a significant deletion of GSH. In addition, only calycosin and calycosin-7-O-glucoside were shown to inhibit XO activity in cell-free system, with an approximate IC50 value of 10 μg/mL and 50 μg/mL. Formononetin and calycosin had no significant influence on Bcl-2 or Bax protein contents. Conclusion Neuroprotection of formononetin, calycosin and calycosin-7-O-glucoside may be mediated by increasing endogenous antioxidants, rather by inhibiting XO activities or by scavenging free radicals.

Rapid screening techniques for identification of active compounds from natural products are important not only for clarification of the therapeutic material basis, but also for supplying suitable chemical markers for quality control. In the present study, ultrafiltration combined with high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) was developed and conducted to screen and identify bovine serum albumin (BSA) bound ligands from Puerariae flos. Fundamental parameters affecting the screening like incubation time, BSA concentration, pH, and temperature were studied and optimized. Under the optimum conditions, nine active compounds were identified by UV and MS data. The results indicated that this method was able to screen and identify BSA bound ligands form natural products without the need of preparative isolation techniques.

The most abundant phenolics in soybeans are isoflavones, mainly daidzein, 20 glycitein, and genistein and several derivatives of them. Other phenolic compounds are also 21 present but they have been minimally studied. In this work, the soybean seeds were fermented by 22 the microbiota present on the seeds or by inoculation with Aspergillus oryzae, Rhizopus oryzae or 23 Bacillus subtilis . The effect of microbial fermentation on the phenolic composition of soybeans 24 was studied. All the assayed microorganisms brought out variations in phenolics. An increase in 25 the concentration of phenolic acids was observed. Flavonoids were differently metabolized 26 depending on the microorganism used. In all samples the most important changes were produced 27 in the isoflavones content, observing an increase on the aglycones, glycitein, daidzein and 28 genistein. 29 30 Key words : soybean, fermentation, phenolic compounds, isoflavones 31 1 32 1.

  • Changes of Phytoestrogens Daidzein, Genistein and Their Glycosides Daidzin and Genistin and Coumestrol During Processing of Soyabeans
    Czech J. Food Sci. Vol. 22, Special Issue Changes of Phytoestrogens Daidzein, Genistein and Their Glycosides Daidzin and Genistin and Coumestrol during Processing of Soyabeans J. LOJZA*, V. SCHULZOVÁ and J. HAJŠLOVÁ Department of Food Chemistry and Analysis, Institute of Chemical Technology, Prague, Czech Republic, *E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Phytoestrogens represent biologically active compounds showing estrogenic activity similar to that of sex hormones – estrogens. Various adverse effects such as sterility, increase of females’ genitals, lost of males’ copulation activity, etc. were observed in farm animals after exposure to higher amounts of fodder containing phytoestrogens. On the other side, their presence in human diet is nowadays the object of many research stud- ies concerned with prevention of breast and prostate cancer, osteoporosis and other hormone-linked diseases by dietary intake of phytoestrogens. Soya (Glycine max) is one of the main sources of these compounds in diet. Isoflavones daidzein and genistein occurring either free or bound in glycosides are the main phytoestrogens in this food crop. Coumesterol representing coumestans is another effective phytoestrogen contained in some ed- dible plants. In the first part of our study, analytical method for determination of free and total phytoestrogens was developed and validated. Following steps are included: (i) acid hydrolysis (only for “total phytoestrogens” analysis), (ii) extraction with methanol/water mixture, (iii) SPE preconcentration; (iv) identification/quantifica- tion using HPLC/DAD/FLD. The aim of present study was to document the fate of phytoestrogens and their forms during household/industrial processing. As documented in our experiments the most dynamic changes of phytoestrogen levels occur during soyabeans sprouting.

Received: 22 October 2020; Accepted: 7 December 2020; Published: 12 December 2020 Abstract: Phenolic compounds are secondary metabolites widely spread throughout the plant kingdom that can be categorized as flavonoids and non-flavonoids. Interest in phenolic compounds has dramatically increased during the last decade due to their biological effects and promising therapeutic applications. In this review, we discuss the importance of phenolic compounds’ bioavailability to accomplish their physiological functions, and highlight main factors affecting such parameter throughout metabolism of phenolics, from absorption to excretion. Besides, we give an updated overview of the health benefits of phenolic compounds, which are mainly linked to both their direct (e.g., free-radical scavenging ability) and indirect (e.g., by stimulating activity of antioxidant enzymes) antioxidant properties. Such antioxidant actions reportedly help them to prevent chronic and oxidative stress-related disorders such as cancer, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, among others. Last, we comment on development of cutting-edge delivery systems intended to improve bioavailability and enhance stability of phenolic compounds in the human body. Keywords: antioxidant activity; bioavailability; flavonoids; health benefits; phenolic compounds 1. Introduction Phenolic compounds are secondary metabolites widely spread throughout the plant kingdom with around 8000 different phenolic structures [1].
