Flavonoid C-glucosides derived from flax straw extracts reduce human breast cancer cell growth in vitro and induce apoptosis.

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2016
Flax straw of flax varieties that are grown for oil production is a byproduct which represents a considerable biomass source. Therefore its potential application for human use is of high interest.

Autoreactivity vs autoimmunity: characteristics of autoantigen‐specific CD4 T‐cells in rheumatoid arthritis and health.

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Background CD4 T cells specific for citrullinated (cit)‐peptides are key players in RA immunopathogenesis. Characterising these cells and identifying features of healthy and RA‐associated autoreactivity will provide valuable insight into disease mechanisms and form the basis of immune state biomarkers to facilitate the next generation of RA treatments.

Glucosylation of Taxifolin with Cultured Plant Cells

Natural Product Communications, 2013
Cultured plant cells of Eucalyptus perriniana glucosylated taxifolin to its 3′- and 7- O -β-D-glucosides and 3′,7- O -β-D-diglucoside. On the other hand taxifolin was converted into 3′- and 7- O -β-D-glucosides by cultured cells of Nicotiana tabacum and ...

Synergistic Enhancement of Antioxidant Activity in Arbutus unedo Leaf Extract by Biological Fluids: Implications for Functional and Nutraceutical Applications

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examined the effect of biological fluids (saliva, blood plasma, and urine) on the antioxidant capacity of an aqueous extract derived from Arbutus unedo leaves. The extract displayed a concentration‐dependent reducing activity in the ferric reducing power assay (IC50 = 292 ± 7.54 µg/mL) and phosphomolybdenum assays (IC50 = 461.67 ± 4.

Effect of Intramolecular Hydrogen Bonds on the Binding Efficiency of Compounds Containing Aminoalcohol‐Based Subunits in Combination with Heterocyclic Groups

European Journal of Organic Chemistry, EarlyView.
This study broadens our understanding of the role of intramolecular interactions in molecular recognition and highlights the importance of considering their formation when designing artificial receptors, new drugs, and related systems. Aminoalcohols represent an important class of compounds and serve as building blocks for numerous biologically active ...

Production of bioethanol from residual barley and utilization of fermentation co‐products in animal nutrition

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract The search for sustainable alternatives for bioethanol production has encouraged the valorization of agro‐industrial residues. This study evaluated the use of residual barley as a feedstock for bioethanol production and as a potential ingredient for ruminant feed.

Unusual stilbene glucosides from Vitis vinifera roots

OENO One, 2019
Aim: Stilbenes are well-known phytoalexins present in vine and wine. Stilbene glucosides have been identified in wine; however, other than piceid, these compounds have never been reported to be present in the woody parts of grapevine.

Potential of Bee Pollen as a Nutraceutical And/Or Functional Ingredient for Metabolic Syndrome Management: In Vitro Antioxidant, Anti‐Inflammatory, and Digestive Enzyme Inhibitory Activities

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Bee pollen samples from China and Spain exhibited in vitro antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, and digestive enzyme inhibitory activities due to their composition, suggesting their potential as a nutraceutical or functional ingredient to help counteract oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, and metabolic disorders.

A gene horizontally transferred from bacteria protects arthropods from host plant cyanide poisoning

eLife, 2014
Cyanogenic glucosides are among the most widespread defense chemicals of plants. Upon plant tissue disruption, these glucosides are hydrolyzed to a reactive hydroxynitrile that releases toxic hydrogen cyanide (HCN). Yet many mite and lepidopteran species
