Fluorescent carbon nanodots (C-dots; 4.3 ± 0.8 nm) from fresh tender ginger juice provide high suppression of the growth human hepatocellular carcinoma cells (HepG2), with low toxicity to normal mammary epithelial (MCF-10A) and liver (FL83B). The inhibition is selective HepG2 over other tested cancer cells, including lung cell line (A549), breast (MDA-MB-231), cervical (HeLa). Western blot results reveal that C-dots up-regulate expression p53 protein only in line. 50% inhibiting concentration (IC50) value on 0.35 mg mL-1. Image cytometry show significant uptake by induce intracellular production reactive oxygen species (ROS, 18.2-fold increased), while remain almost same ROS levels after treatment (1.11 mL-1). trigger pro-apoptotic factor promote apoptosis. effectively inhibit tumors nude mice (104 14 vs. 3.7 0.2 without within days).

Lignin, a major component of lignocellulose, is the largest source aromatic building blocks on planet and harbors great potential to serve as starting material for production biobased products. Despite initial challenges associated with robust irregular structure lignin, valorization this intriguing biopolymer has come long way: recently, many creative strategies emerged that deliver defined products via catalytic or biocatalytic depolymerization in good yields. The purpose review provide insight into these novel approaches application such emerging new structures synthesis polymers pharmacologically active molecules. Existing functionalization defunctionalization lignin-based compounds are also summarized. Following whole value chain from raw lignocellulose through whenever possible, specific emerge could be future considered lignin-derived platform chemicals.

Abstract: While use of synthetic antioxidants (such as butylated hydroxytoluene and hydroxyanisole) to maintain the quality ready-to-eat food products has become commonplace, consumer concern regarding their safety motivated industry seek natural alternatives. Phenolic can inhibit free radical formation and/or interrupt propagation autoxidation. Fat-soluble vitamin E (α-tocopherol) water-soluble C (L-ascorbic acid) are both effective in appropriate matrix. Plant extracts, generally used for flavoring characteristics, often have strong H-donating activity thus making them extremely antioxidants. This antioxidant is most due phenolic acids (gallic, protocatechuic, caffeic, rosmarinic acids), diterpenes (carnosol, carnosic acid, rosmanol, rosmadial), flavonoids (quercetin, catechin, naringenin, kaempferol), volatile oils (eugenol, carvacrol, thymol, menthol). Some plant pigments (anthocyanin anthocyanidin) chelate metals donate H oxygen radicals slowing oxidation via 2 mechanisms. Tea extracts grape seeds skins contain catechins, epicatechins, acids, proanthocyanidins, resveratrol, all which contribute antioxidative activity. The objective this article provide an overview antioxidants, mechanisms action, potential applications.

Monocyte-derived myeloid cells play vital roles in inflammation-related autoimmune/inflammatory diseases and cancers. Here, we report that exosomes can deliver anti-inflammatory agents, such as curcumin, to activated vivo. This technology provides a means for drugs, target the inflammatory well overcome unwanted off-target effects limit their utility. Using delivery vehicle, provide evidence curcumin delivered by is more stable highly concentrated blood. We show specificity determined exosomes, improvement of activity achieved directing associated with therapeutic, but not toxic, effects.

In this study, exosomes used to encapsulate curcumin (Exo-cur) or a signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3) inhibitor, i.e., JSI124 (Exo-JSI124) were delivered noninvasively microglia cells via an intranasal route. The results generated from three inflammation-mediated disease models, lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced brain inflammation model, experimental autoimmune encephalitis GL26 tumor showed that mice treated intranasally with Exo-cur Exo-JSI124 are protected LPS-induced inflammation, the progression myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) peptide induced encephalomyelitis (EAE), had significantly delayed growth in model. Intranasal administration led rapid delivery exosome encapsulated drug was selectively taken up by microglial cells, subsequently apoptosis cells. Our demonstrate strategy may provide noninvasive novel therapeutic approach for treating inflammatory-related diseases.

Abstract Turmeric is traditionally used as a spice and coloring in foods. It an important ingredient curry gives powder its characteristic yellow color. As consequence of intense color, turmeric, or curcumin (food additive E100), food (e.g. mustard). contains the curcuminoids curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, bisdemethoxycurcumin. Recently, health properties (neuroprotection, chemo‐, cancer prevention) have gained increasing attention. Curcuminoids induce endogenous antioxidant defense mechanisms organism anti‐inflammatory activity. influence gene expression well epigenetic mechanisms.

1. Curcumin is the active ingredient of dietary spice turmeric and has been consumed for medicinal purposes thousands years. Modern science shown that curcumin modulates various signalling molecules, including inflammatory transcription factors, enzymes, protein kinases, reductases, carrier proteins, cell survival drug resistance adhesion growth receptors, cycle regulatory chemokines, DNA, RNA metal ions. 2. Because this polyphenol's potential to modulate multiple it reported possess pleiotropic activities. First demonstrated have antibacterial activity in 1949, since anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, pro-apoptotic, chemopreventive, chemotherapeutic, antiproliferative, wound healing, antinociceptive, antiparasitic antimalarial properties as well. Animal studies suggested may be against a wide range human diseases, diabetes, obesity, neurological psychiatric disorders cancer, well chronic illnesses affecting eyes, lungs, liver, kidneys gastrointestinal cardiovascular systems. 3. Although many clinical trials evaluating safety efficacy ailments already completed, others are still ongoing. Moreover, used supplement several countries, India, Japan, US, Thailand, China, Korea, Turkey, South Africa, Nepal Pakistan. inexpensive, apparently tolerated potentially active, not approved treatment any disease. 4.
