Grape pomace is a byproduct of wineries and rich source phenolic compounds that can exert multiple pharmacological effects when consumed enter the intestine where they then be absorbed. Phenolic are susceptible to degradation interaction with other food constituents during digestion, encapsulation may useful technique for protecting bioactivity controlling its release. Therefore, behavior phenolic-rich grape extracts encapsulated by ionic gelation method, using natural coating (sodium alginate, gum arabic, gelatin, chitosan), was observed simulated digestion in vitro. The best efficiency (69.27%) obtained alginate hydrogels. physicochemical properties microbeads were influenced coatings used. Scanning electron microscopy showed drying had least effect on surface area chitosan-coated microbeads. A structural analysis structure extract changed from crystalline amorphous after encapsulation. released Fickian diffusion, which described Korsmeyer-Peppas model among four models tested. results used as predictive tool preparation containing bioactive could development supplements.

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is the most severe monogenic hemoglobinopathy caused by a single genetic mutation that leads to repeated polymerization and depolymerization of hemoglobin resulting in intravascular hemolysis, adhesion, vascular occlusion, ischemia–reperfusion injury. Hemolysis causes oxidative damage indirectly generating reactive oxygen species through various pathophysiological mechanisms, which include autoxidation, endothelial nitric oxide synthase uncoupling, reduced bioavailability, elevated levels asymmetric dimethylarginine. Red blood cells have built-in anti-oxidant system includes enzymes like sodium dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, along with free radical scavenging molecules, such as vitamin C, E, glutathione, help them fight damage. However, these anti-oxidants may not be sufficient prevent effects stress SCD patients. Therefore, line recent FDA request focus placed on development innovative therapies for address root cause disease, there need target restore redox balance This review summarizes current state knowledge regarding role potential benefits therapies. It also discusses challenges limitations suggests future directions research development.

The chronic non-healing diabetic wound (DW) has remained a challenge to both the society and individuals. Previous studies suggested dietary moderate consumption of quercetin (QCT) are beneficial in preventing complications, including DW. However, there were few that have investigated QCT-related underlying molecular mechanisms against In present study, we for first-time combined network pharmacology with docking experimental validation investigate therapeutic targets treating Finally, 191 1750 DW-related pathogenetic obtained from online databases.

The Ebola virus (EBOV), a highly lethal pathogen causing hemorrhagic fever, poses persistent public health threat, with devastating multi-organ complications and high transmission potential through bodily fluids. EBOV’s pathogenesis is marked by severe oxidative stress immune dysregulation, where increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels foster cellular damage, hinder defenses, facilitate viral replication. Through evasion suppression of responses, EBOV affects both innate adaptive immunity, activating pyroptosis, PANoptosis, necroptosis, lymphocyte apoptosis, thereby amplifying inflammation disease severity. Recent research suggests that bioactive molecules, including quercetin, curcumin, eugenol, p-anisaldehyde, may offer therapeutic due to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory effects. This review also underscores the conventional treatments, amiodarone, favipiravir, remdesivir, azithromycin, chloroquine, nitazoxanide, as agents against EBOV, thanks antiviral anti-inflammatory properties, although efficacy varies across experimental models. These natural compounds could enhance resilience scavenging ROS, modulating inflammation, mitigating presenting promising adjunctive strategies support therapies.
