RESUMO
Countercurrent chromatography (CCC) is a potent separation approach known for its remarkable efficiency and capacity in preparation. It's applied as a substitute or combined with different chromatographic techniques, resulting in its rebranding as multidimensional CCC (MDCCC). Numerous essential mixtures from natural products contain hundreds or thousands of distinct components of importance. These mix types are too complicated to separate in any reasonable time using a single CCC dimension. However, if a multidimensional technique is utilized, where a complex mixture is separated by an initial dimension, smaller fractions of that separation are gathered. Each fraction is studied individually; complex mixes can be resolved relatively quickly. Thus, several MDCCC separation features have been studied to demonstrate their advantages, limitations, and prospective capacity to separate exceedingly complex mixtures. In this review, MDCCC aspects, including principles, multiple columns system, multilayer coil J-type, on-line monitoring system, and applications, have been thoroughly_explored.
RESUMO
Counter-current chromatography is a chromatographic separation and purification technique being developed. The development of different elution modes has significantly contributed to this field. Multiple dual-mode elution is a method developed based on dual-mode elution, which consists of a series of changing cycles of the phase role and the direction by switching between normal and reverse elution modes of counter-current chromatography. This dual-mode elution method takes full advantage of the liquid nature of stationary and mobile phases of counter-current chromatography and effectively improves the separation efficiency. So, this unique elution mode has gained extensive attention for separating complex samples. This review mainly describes and summarizes in detail its development, applications, and characteristics in recent years. Meanwhile, its advantages, limitations, and future outlook also have been discussed in this paper.

Anticancer peptides (ACPs) are biologically anticancer active molecules that are produced by mammals, plants, insects and microorganisms. Here, a new peptide (TC22) with the amino acid sequence MTVVLLLIVLPLLGGVHSSGIL was identified and characterized from the beetle Tribolium castaneum. We found it inhibited the growth and viability of HeLa and MCF-7 cells. Flow cytometry analysis demonstrated the TC22 induced HeLa cell apoptosis, and activated caspase-9 and caspase-3. Furthermore, TC22 led to ROS generation, and triggered p53 transcription and expression. Taken together, our results indicated that TC22 exhibited high anticancer capacity via activating p53, inducing ROS generation and through a mitochondrial pathway. This research provided a novel natural source peptide with strong anticancer capacity. These findings provide some novel insights on the potential candidate reagent in cancer treatment.
