RESUMEN
In this study, N, N '-bis {4- [(α-L- rhamnosyloxy) benzyl]} thiourea (PG-1), a phenolic glycoside compound was purified from Moringa seed. The PG-1 has attracted extensive attention due to its anti-cancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and hypoglycemic properties. However, some of its physicochemical properties such as oral bioavailability has not been studied. Herein, a highly purified PG-1 was extracted and incorporated in multiple layered liposomes (PG-1-L) to avoid its burst release and enhance oral bioavailability. After appropriate characterization, it was discovered that the obtained PG-1-L was stable, homogeneous and well dispersed with the average particle size being 89.26 ± 0.23 nm. Importantly, the in vitro release and in vivo oral bioavailability of PG-1-L were significantly improved compared with PG-1. In addition, MTT results showed that compared with the free PG-1, PG-1-L displayed obvious inhibitory effect on the HepG2 cells, while the inhibitory effect on healthy non-malignant 3T6 and LO-2 cells was not significant, indicating that PG-1-L had high safety. In conclusion, PG-1-L can be used as a promising delivery system and an ideal novel approach to improve the oral bioavailability and anticancer activity of PG-1.

The latex of Ipomoea (Convolvulaceae) is a source of a special kind of acylsugars called resin glycosides, which are highly appreciated because of their biological activities (i.e. laxative, antimicrobial, cytotoxic etc.). Most research has been conducted in perennials with tuberous roots, where resin glycosides are stored. However, their content and variation are unknown in annual vines that lack this type of root, such as in the case of Ipomoea parasitica. This species contains research/biological and human value through its fast growth, survival in harsh environments, and employment in humans for mental/cognitive improvements. These qualities make I. parasitica an ideal system to profile resin glycosides and their variations in response to edaphoclimate. Topsoil samples (0-30 cm depth) and latex from petioles of I. parasitica were collected in two localities of central Mexico. The latex was analyzed through UHPLC-ESI-QTOF, and soil physico-chemical characteristics, the rainfall, minimum, average, and maximum temperatures were recorded. We also measured canopy (%), rockiness (%), and plant cover (%). A Principal Component Analysis was conducted to find associations between edaphoclimate and the resin glycosides. Forty-four resin glycosides were found in the latex of I. parasitica. Ten correlated significantly with three components (47.07%) and contained tetrasaccharide, pentasaccharide, and dimers of tetrasaccharide units. Five resin glycosides were considered constitutive because they were in all the plants. However, exclusive molecules to each locality were also present, which we hypothesize is in response to significant microhabitat conditions found in this study (temperature, clay content, pH, and potassium). Our results showed the presence of resin glycosides in I. parasitica latex and are the basis for experimentally testing the effect of the conditions above on these molecules. However, ecological, molecular, and biochemical factors should be considered in experiments designed to produce these complex molecules.

The current study intended to investigate the role of new natural compounds derived from the Sesuvium sesuvioides plant in mitigating symptoms of diabetes and insulin resistance in the diabetic mice model. Anti-advanced glycation activity, insulin, and adiponectin were quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Glucose uptake was performed using enzymatic fluorescence assay, and glycogen synthesis was measured using PAS staining. Gene and protein expression was assessed using real time PCR (RT-PCR), and immunoblotting and fluorescent microscopy, respectively. The new flavonoid glycoside eupalitin 3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1â2)-ß-D-glucopyranoside 1 isolated from S. sesuvioides exhibited anti-AGE activity by reducing human glycated albumin in liver cells. In a diabetic mouse model treated with compound 1, we observed improved glucose tolerance, increased adiponectin levels, and decreased insulin resistance. We also observed alleviated AGEs induced reduction in glucose uptake and restored glycogen synthesis in the compound 1-treated diabetic mice muscles. Exploring the molecular mechanism of action in skeletal muscle tissue of diabetic mice, we found that 1 reduced AGE-induced reactive oxygen species and the inflammatory gene in the muscle of diabetic mice. Additionally, 1 exhibited these effects by reducing the gene and protein expression of receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) and inhibiting protein kinase C (PKC) delta activation. This further led us to demonstrate that compound 1 reduced serine phosphorylation of IRS-1, thereby restoring insulin sensitivity. We conclude that a new flavonoid glycoside from S. sesuvioides could be a therapeutic target for the treatment of symptoms of insulin resistance and diabetes.

C-Glycosides are important structures that are common to natural products and pharmaceutical agents. Established methods for their synthesis involve the reaction of an activated anomeric carbon. In this study, we report a conceptually new approach that involves the stereoselective Ni-catalyzed carboboration of glycals. In these reactions, not only is a C-C bond formed at the anomeric carbon, but a synthetically useful C-B bond is also installed. Upon C-B oxidation, differentially protected C-glycosides to be formed. In addition, stereospecific manipulation of the C-B bond leads to diverse C-glycosides. Finally, we report the application of this method in the synthesis of established C-glycosides, such as C-glycosyl amino acids, as well as a strategy to make all possible diastereomers at C1 and C2.

Olive leaves (OLLs) are an exceptional bioresource of natural polyphenols with proven antioxidant activity, yet the applicability of OLL extracts is constrained by the relatively high polarity of the major polyphenols, which occur as glycosides. To overcome this limitation, OLLs were subjected to both hydrothermal and ethanol organosolv treatments, fostered by acid catalysis to solicit in parallel increased polyphenol recovery and polyphenol modification into simpler, lower-polarity substances. After an initial screening of natural organic acids, oxalic acid (OxAc) was found to be the highest-performing catalyst. The extraction behavior using OxAc-catalyzed hydrothermal and ethanol organosolv treatments was appraised using kinetics, while treatment optimization was accomplished by deploying response-surface methodology. The comparative assessment of the composition extracts produced under optimal conditions of residence time and temperature was performed with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and revealed that OLLs treated with 50% ethanol/1.5% HCl suffered extensive oleuropein and flavone glycoside hydrolysis, affording almost 23.4 mg hydroxytyrosol and 2 mg luteolin per g dry weight. On the other hand, hydrothermal treatment with 5% OxAc provided 20.2 and 0.12 mg of hydroxytyrosol and luteolin, respectively. Apigenin was in all cases a minor extract constituent. The study presented herein demonstrated for the first time the usefulness of using a natural, food-grade organic acid to perform such a task, yet further investigation is needed to maximize the desired effect.

The remaining compounds were isolated from H. elatoides for the first time. The results of biological assays revealed that compound 11 exhibited significant anti-neuroinflammatory activity, and compounds 1, 3, and 19 displayed certain neuroprotective effects.

Six new phenylpropanoid glycosides (1-6), two new phenylethanol glycosides (7 and 8), one new phenylmethanol glycoside (9), three new phenylpropanoid dimers (10-12), two new phenylpropanoid-flavan-3-ol heterodimers (13 and 14), and six known relevant compounds (15-20) were isolated and identified from the well-liked edible and medicinal substance (the bark of Cinnamomum cassia (L.) J.Presl). The structures of these isolates were determined by using spectroscopic analyses, chemical methods, and quantum chemical calculations. Notably, compounds 4-9 were rare apiuronyl-containing glycosides, and compounds 13 and 14 were heterodimers of phenylpropanoids and flavan-3-ols linked through C-9â³-C-8 bonds. The antioxidant and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities of all isolates were evaluated. Compounds 10 and 12 exhibited DPPH radical scavenging capacities with IC50 values of 20.1 and 13.0 µM, respectively (vitamin C IC50 value of 14.3 µM). In the ORAC experiment, all these compounds exhibited different levels of capacity for scavenging free radicals, and compound 10 displayed extraordinary free radical scavenging capacity with the ORAC value of 6.42 ± 0.01 µM TE/µM (EGCG ORAC value of 1.54 ± 0.02 µM TE/µM). Compound 12 also showed significant α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with an IC50 of 56.3 µM (acarbose IC50 of 519.4 µM).

Steviol glycosides (SGs) are a natural sweetener widely used in the food and beverage industry, but the low solubility and stability of SG aqueous solutions greatly limit their application performance, especially in liquid formulations. In this work, we explore the solubility behavior of rebaudioside A (Reb A) in water, a major component of SGs, with the aim of clarifying the underlying mechanisms of the solubility and stability constraints of SGs, as well as the impact on their multifunctional properties. We demonstrate for the first time that Reb A exhibits hierarchical self-assembly in solutions, forming spherical micelles first when the concentration exceeds its critical micelle concentration (5.071 mg/mL), which then further assemble into large rod-like aggregates. The formation of such large Reb A aggregates is mainly dominated by hydrogen bonding and short-range Coulomb interaction energy, thus leading to the low solubility and precipitation of Reb A solutions. Surprisingly, aggregated Reb A structures display significantly improved organoleptic properties, revealing that self-aggregation can be developed as a simple, efficient, and green strategy for improving the taste profile of SGs. Additionally, the self-aggregation of Reb A at high concentrations impairs active encapsulation and also affects its interfacial and emulsifying properties.

Abrus cantoniensis Hance is a vegetative food and can be used as a folk beverage or soup to clear liver toxins and prevent liver damage. However, the components and effects of A. cantoniensis Hance in alcohol-induced liver injury were unknown. This study aimed to obtain abundant phytochemicals from A. cantoniensis Hance and identify the potency of the isolates in preventing alcohol-induced liver injury. Alcohol-stimulated AML12 cells and Lieber-DeCarli diet-fed mice were used to establish in vitro and in vivo models, respectively. Our findings indicated that flavonoid glycosides, especially AH-15, could significantly alleviate alcohol-induced liver injury by inhibiting oxidative stress. Furthermore, we demonstrated that AH-15 inhibited ferroptosis induced by lipid peroxidation. Mechanically, we found that AH-15 regulated nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) expression via activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling. These results indicate that A. cantoniensis Hance is a great potential functional food for alleviating alcohol-induced liver injury.

BACKGROUND: Many phenolic C-glycosides possess nutritional benefits and pharmacological efficacies. However, the MS/MS fragmentation pattern of phenolic C-glycosides analysis is understudied. This paper aims to determine the MS/MS fragmentation patterns of phenolic C-glycosides. METHOD: Ten compounds with different sugar moieties, aglycones, and substitutes were analyzed to determine the impact of these structural features on MS/MS fragmentation using UPLC-QTOF-MS analysis. RESULTS: The results showed that water loss followed by RDA reaction and alpha cleavage in the C-C bonded sugar moieties are the major fragmentation pathways. Additionally, the sugar cleavage was not affected by the skeleton and the substitute of the aglycones. These results suggested that the fragmentation patterns of phenolic C-glycosides differ from those in the O-glycosides, where the O-C glycosidic bond is the most cleavage-liable bond in MS/MS analysis. CONCLUSIONS: These MS/MS fragmentation patterns can be used for the identification of C-glycosides from dietary components and herbal medicine as well as developing robust methods using MRM methods to quantify C-glycosides.

The whole Hypericum patulum Thunb. plant is utilized in traditional medicine for its properties of clearing heat, detoxifying, soothing meridians, relaxing the liver, and stopping bleeding. In folk medicine, it is frequently used to treat hepatitis, colds, tonsillitis, and bruises. Phytochemical investigation of a 30% ethanol extract of the fresh ripe fruits of H. patulum has resulted in the isolation of two new pinane-type monoterpenoid glycosides 1-2, named patulumside E-F, and three new chain-shaped monoterpenoid glycosides 3-5, named patulumside G-H, J. Their structures were determined using extensive spectroscopic techniques, such as HR-ESI-MS, 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy, and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculation. The anti-inflammatory activities of these compounds were evaluated in the LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells. This research represents the inaugural comprehensive phytochemical study of H. patulum, paving the way for further exploration of monoterpenoid glycosides.

Five new compounds, including two sesquiterpenoid glycosides (1 and 2), two monoterpenoid glycosides (3 and 4), and a quinovose ester (5), together with four known compounds (6-9) were isolated from branches and leaves of Pittosporum pulchrum Gagnep. Their structures were established by 1D and 2D NMR, HR-ESI-MS, IR and UV spectral analyses. This is the first time to investigate the chemical constituents of P. pulchrum. Subsequently, the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities of different solvent fractions of ethanol extract and isolated compounds were evaluated. Dichloromethane and ethyl acetate fractions dramatically inhibited the production of NO in a concentration-dependent manner in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells. Ethyl acetate and n-butanol fractions showed excellent DPPH radical scavenging activities with IC50 values of 24.31 µg/mL and 27.81 µg/mL, respectively. Compounds 7 and 8 might be potential natural antioxidants with IC50 values of 16.13 µM and 24.81 µM, respectively.

From the root barks of a Central African tree Millettia dubia De Wild. (Fabaceae), ten previously undescribed oleanane-type glycosides were isolated by various chromatographic protocols. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods, mainly 2D NMR experiments and mass spectrometry, as mono- and bidesmosidic glycosides of mesembryanthemoidigenic acid, hederagenin and oleanolic acid. The stimulation of the sweet taste receptor TAS1R2/TAS1R3 by these glycosides was evaluated, and structure/activity relationships were proposed. Two of them showed an agonist effect on TAS1R2/TAS1R3.

Seven undescribed benzoate glycosides (1-7) and five known ones (8-12) were isolated from the rhizomes of Gentiana scabra Bge. Their structures were characterized by comprehensive NMR and MS spectroscopic data analysis. The lipid-lowering effects of these compounds were evaluated by measuring the triglyceride (TG) contents and intracellular lipid droplets (LDs) in oleic acid (OA)-treated HepG2 cells. The results showed that compounds 1, 5, 7, and 11 significantly reduced the TG content at 20 µM, and the Bodipy staining displayed that OA enhanced the levels of LDs in the cell, while these compounds reversed the lipid accumulation caused by OA. These findings provide a basis for further development and utilization of G. scabra as a natural source of potential lipid-lowering agents.

Glycoside linkage analyses of medicine and food homologous plant polysaccharides have always been a key point and a difficulty of structural characterization. The gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method is one of the commonly used traditional techniques to determine glycoside linkages via partially methylated alditol acetates and aldononitrile acetates (PMAAs and PMANs). Due to the simplicity of derivatization and the highly structural asymmetry of PMANs, reverse thinking is proposed using liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-multiple reaction monitoring mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MRM-MS) for the first time to directly determine the neutral and acidic glycosyl linkages of polysaccharides. The complete characterization of glycoside linkages deduced from PMANs was achieved using a combination of tR values, characteristic MRM ion pairs, diagnostic ESI+-MS/MS fragmentation ions (DFIs), and optimal collision energy (OCE). The DFI and OCE parameters were confirmed to be effective for the auxiliary discrimination of some isomers of the PMANs. The practicality of LC-ESI+-MRM-MS was further verified by analyzing the glycoside linkages of polysaccharides in five medicine and food homologous plants. This method can serve as an alternative to GC-MS for the simultaneous determination of neutral and acidic glycosyl linkages in polysaccharides.

Eight sulfated triterpene glycosides, peronioside A (1) and psolusosides A (2), B (3), G (4), I (5), L (6), N (7) and P (8), were isolated from the sea cucumber Psolus peronii. Peronioside A (1) is a new glycoside, while compounds 2-8 were found previously in Psolus fabricii, indicating the phylogenetic and systematic closeness of these species of sea cucumbers. The activity of 1-8 against human erythrocytes and their cytotoxicity against the breast cancer cell lines MCF-7, T-47D and triple-negative MDA-MB-231 were tested. The most active against cancer cell compounds, psolusosides A (2) and L (6), which were not cytotoxic to the non-transformed cells of the mammary gland, were chosen to study the inhibition of the migration, formation and growth of colonies of the cancer cell lines. Glycoside 2 effectively inhibited the growth of colonies and the migration of the MDA-MB-231 cell line. Compound 6 blocked the growth of colonies of T-47D cells and showed a pronounced antimigration effect on MDA-MB-231 cells. The quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) indicated the strong impact on the activity of the form and size of the molecules, which is connected to the length and architecture of the carbohydrate chain, the distribution of charge on the molecules' surface and various aspects of hydrogen bond formation, depending on the quantity and positions of the sulfate groups. The QSAR calculations were in good accordance with the observed SAR tendencies.

Three new monosulfated polyhydroxysteroid glycosides, spiculiferosides A (1), B (2), and C (3), along with new related unsulfated monoglycoside, spiculiferoside D (4), were isolated from an ethanolic extract of the starfish Henricia leviuscula spiculifera collected in the Sea of Okhotsk. Compounds 1-3 contain two carbohydrate moieties, one of which is attached to C-3 of the steroid tetracyclic core, whereas another is located at C-24 of the side chain of aglycon. Two glycosides (2, 3) are biosides, and one glycoside (1), unlike them, includes three monosaccharide residues. Such type triosides are a rare group of polar steroids of sea stars. In addition, the 5-substituted 3-OSO3-α-L-Araf unit was found in steroid glycosides from starfish for the first time. Cell viability analysis showed that 1-3 (at concentrations up to 100 µM) had negligible cytotoxicity against human embryonic kidney HEK293, melanoma SK-MEL-28, breast cancer MDA-MB-231, and colorectal carcinoma HCT 116 cells. These compounds significantly inhibited proliferation and colony formation in HCT 116 cells at non-toxic concentrations, with compound 3 having the greatest effect. Compound 3 exerted anti-proliferative effects on HCT 116 cells through the induction of dose-dependent cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase, regulation of expression of cell cycle proteins CDK2, CDK4, cyclin D1, p21, and inhibition of phosphorylation of protein kinases c-Raf, MEK1/2, ERK1/2 of the MAPK/ERK1/2 pathway.

Drying is an important stage used to improve the quality of white tea (WT). However, the effect of the drying temperature on the key taste compounds in WT remains unclear. In this study, targeted metabolomics, molecular docking, and a simulated reaction were used to investigate the transformation mechanism of flavonoid glycosides (FGs) in WT during drying at 60, 80, and 100 °C and its impact on taste. There were 45 differential FGs in WT at three drying temperatures. Compared with the withering samples for 48 h, the total FGs contents at three drying temperatures showed a decreasing trend, with quercetin-3-O-galactoside and kaempferol-3-O-glucoside showing the most degradation. These results were confirmed via a simulated drying reaction of FGs standards. Drying at 80 and 100 °C contributed to the formation of flavonoid-C-glycosides, but only trace amounts of these compounds were observed. In addition, nine key taste FGs were selected using dose-over-threshold values. These FGs regulated the taste of WT, mainly by binding to taste receptors via hydrogen bond, hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions. Finally, the taste acceptability of WT dried at 60 °C was found to be the highest, as this method could properly reduce the contents of FGs, weaken the bitterness and astringency, and retain the sweet and umami taste. This study revealed for the first time the transformation mechanism of sensory-active FGs affected by drying temperature, which provides a novel perspective for the analysis of the formation mechanism of the unique flavor of WT and the optimization of this process.

Beyond the key bitter compound kaempferol 3-O-(2â´-O-sinapoyl-ß-d-sophoroside) previously described in the literature (1), eight further bitter and astringent-tasting kaempferol glucosides (2-9) have been identified in rapeseed protein isolates (Brassica napus L.). The bitterness and astringency of these taste-active substances have been described with taste threshold concentrations ranging from 3.3 to 531.7 and 0.3 to 66.4 µmol/L, respectively, as determined by human sensory experiments. In this study, the impact of 1 and kaempferol 3-O-ß-d-glucopyranoside (8) on TAS2R-linked proton secretion by HGT-1 cells was analyzed by quantification of the intracellular proton index. mRNA levels of bitter receptors TAS2R3, 4, 5, 13, 30, 31, 39, 40, 43, 45, 46, 50 and TAS2R8 were increased after treatment with compounds 1 and 8. Using quantitative UHPLC-MS/MSMRM measurements, the concentrations of 1-9 were determined in rapeseed/canola seeds and their corresponding protein isolates. Depending on the sample material, compounds 1, 3, and 5-9 exceeded dose over threshold (DoT) factors above one for both bitterness and astringency in selected protein isolates. In addition, an increase in the key bitter compound 1 during industrial protein production (apart from enrichment) was observed, allowing the identification of the potential precursor of 1 to be kaempferol 3-O-(2â´-O-sinapoyl-ß-d-sophoroside)-7-O-ß-d-glucopyranoside (3). These results may contribute to the production of less bitter and astringent rapeseed protein isolates through the optimization of breeding and postharvest downstream processing.

Indole based glycosides belong to the class of pharmacologically active molecules and found in diverse natural compounds. Herein, we report the synthesis of 1,2,3-triazole bridged chirally enriched diverse indole-chalcones based glycohybrids. Three series of glycohybrids were designed and efficiently synthesized using d-glucose, d-galactose and d-mannose derived 1-azido glycosides. The reactions sequence involved were, the synthesis of indole derived chalcones which were formed via Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction and subsequently N-propargylation which leads to the production of N-propargylated indole-chalcones. The N-propargylated indole-chalcones get transformed into 1,2,3-triazole bridged indole-chalcone based glycohybrids by reacting with 1-azido sugar glycosides under click-chemistry reaction conditions. Further, the biological activity of synthesized glycohybrids (n = 27) was assessed in-vitro against MDA-MB231, MCF-7, MDA-MB453 cancer, and MCF-10A normal cell lines. The selected compounds showed potent anti-oncogenic properties against MCF-7 and MDA-MB231 breast cancer cell line with IC50 values of 1.05 µM and 11.40 µM respectively, with very good selectivity index (SI > 161). The active compounds show better binding affinity as compared to co-crystallized inhibitor 1-(tert-butyl)-3-(p-tolyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-amine (PP1) with HCK (PTKs) proteins in molecular docking studies.
