Quercetin (QT) exhibits good pharmacological activities treatment diseases, including steatosis, fatty hepatitis, fibrosis, and cancer. It selected as a model owing its poor water solubility. QT NCs (QT-NCs/GL) were fabricated wet media milling technique systemically evaluated. QT-NCs poloxamer 188 (QT-NCs/P188) prepared reference comparison vitro vivo performance with QT-NCs/GL. QT-NCs/GL QT-NCs/P188 similar particle size around 130 nm successfully technique. Both showed irregular particles short rods under SEM. XRPD revealed that remained crystalline state reduced crystallinity. exhibited significant solubility increase release improvement compared raw QT.

Quercetin, a naturally non-toxic flavonoid within the safe dose range with antioxidant, anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory properties, plays an important role in treatment of aging-related diseases. Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), member NAD+-dependent deacetylase enzyme family, is extensively explored as potential therapeutic target for attenuating aging-induced disorders. SIRT1 possess beneficial effects against diseases such Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's (PD), Huntington's (HD), Depression, Osteoporosis, Myocardial ischemia (M/I) reperfusion (MI/R), Atherosclerosis (AS), Diabetes. Previous studies have reported that aging increases tissue susceptibility, whereas, regulates cellular senescence multiple processes, including SIRT1/Keap1/Nrf2/HO-1 SIRTI/PI3K/Akt/GSK-3β mediated oxidative stress, SIRT1/NF-κB SIRT1/NLRP3 regulated inflammatory response, SIRT1/PGC1α/eIF2α/ATF4/CHOP SIRT1/PKD1/CREB controlled phosphorylation, SIRT1-PINK1-Parkin mitochondrial damage, SIRT1/FoxO autophagy, SIRT1/FoxG1/CREB/BDNF/Trkβ-catenin neuroprotective effects. In this review, we summarized improvement attenuation effect quercetin on relationship between relevant signaling pathways by SIRT1. Moreover, functional regulation markers function, autophagy apoptosis through was discussed. Finally, prospects extracellular vesicles (EVs) loading delivery, SIRT1-mediated EVs signal carriers treating diseases, well discussed ferroptosis alleviation to protect via activating Generally, may serve promising inhibiting reducing responses, restoring dysfunction.

Abstract This review provides an update on recent findings from basic, translational, and clinical studies the molecular mechanisms of mitochondrial dysfunction apoptosis hepatocytes in multiple liver diseases, including but not limited to alcohol-associated disease (ALD), metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic (MASLD), drug-induced injury (DILI). While ethanol-inducible cytochrome P450-2E1 (CYP2E1) is mainly responsible for oxidizing binge alcohol via microsomal ethanol system, it also metabolizing many xenobiotics, pollutants, chemicals, drugs, specific diets abundant n-6 fatty acids, into toxic metabolites organs, liver, causing pathological insults through organelles such as mitochondria endoplasmic reticula. Oxidative imbalances (oxidative stress) promote covalent modifications lipids, proteins, nucleic acids enzymatic non-enzymatic mechanisms. Excessive changes stimulate various post-translational (PTMs) transcription factors, histones. Increased PTMs proteins inactivate enzymes involved reduction oxidative species, acid metabolism, mitophagy pathways, leading dysfunction, energy depletion, apoptosis.
