Enzymatic grafting of a natural product onto chitosan to confer water solubility under basic conditions

Chitosan is a natural biopolymer whose rich amine functionality confers water solubility at low pH. At higher pH's (greater than 6. 5), the amines are deprotonated and chitosan is insoluble. To attain water solubility under basic conditions we enzymatically grafted the hydrophilic compound chlorogenic acid onto chitosan. Despite its name, chlorogenic acid is a nonchlorinated phenolic natural product that has carboxylic acid and hydroxyl functionality. The enzyme in this study was tyrosinase, which converts a wide range of phenolic substrates into electrophilic o-quinones. The o-quinones are freely diffusible and can undergo reaction with the nucleophilic amino groups of chitosan. Using slightly acidic conditions (pH = 6), it was possible to modify chitosan under homogeneous conditions. When the amount of chlorogenic acid used in the modification reaction exceeded 30% relative to chitosan's amino groups, the modified chitosan was observed to be soluble under both acidic and basic conditions, and to have a pH window of insolubility at near neutral pH. 1H NMR spectra confirmed that chitosan was chemically modified, although the degree of modification was low.

Coffee increases levels of urinary 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine in rats.

We examined whether coffee or chlorogenic acid inhibits 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), one of the major forms of oxidative DNA damage, in vivo and in vitro. Forty-eight male Wistar rats were assigned to three treatment groups: a control-diet group (n=16; coffee-free diet), a 0.62% coffee-diet group (n=16, dose of coffee consumed 125 mg/day), and a 1.36% coffee-diet group (n=16, dose of coffee consumed 275 mg/day) and were maintained on an experimental diet for 130 days. The coffee-diet resulted in significantly increased excretion of urinary chlorogenic acid, with the 0.62 and 1.36% coffee-diets resulting in 14.00+/-0.94 and 15.80+/-0.41 ng/mg creatinine, respectively, whereas in control rats it was not detected. Using monoclonal antibody to measure 8-OHdG, it was revealed that coffee led to a significant increase in excretion of urinary 8-OHdG on day 130 (46.62+/-13.42 ng/mg creatinine in 0.62% coffee-diet group and 64.58+/-20.15 ng/mg creatinine in 1.36% coffee-diet group, P<0.05 vs. control; control group 10.89+/-2.59 ng/mg creatinine). Furthermore, to clarify the mechanism of 8-OHdG formation by coffee, we investigated the in vitro effect of chlorogenic acid on 8-OHdG formation in human placental DNA. Chlorogenic acid alone did not lead to an increase of 8-OHdG formation, but dramatically increased it in the presence of cupric chloride and H(2)O(2). However, chlorogenic acid and cupric chloride decreased the formation of 8-OHdG in the presence of H(2)O(2). Based on these results, a possible mechanism of 8-OHdG formation in vivo by chlorogenic acid is discussed.

Comparison of the phenolic composition of fruit juices by single step gradient HPLC analysis of multiple components versus multiple chromatographic runs optimised for individual families.

After minimal sample preparation, two different HPLC methodologies, one based on a single gradient reversed-phase HPLC step, the other on multiple HPLC runs each optimised for specific components, were used to investigate the composition of flavonoids and phenolic acids in apple and tomato juices. The principal components in apple juice were identified as chlorogenic acid, phloridzin, caffeic acid and p-coumaric acid. Tomato juice was found to contain chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, p-coumaric acid, naringenin and rutin. The quantitative estimates of the levels of these compounds, obtained with the two HPLC procedures, were very similar, demonstrating that either method can be used to analyse accurately the phenolic components of apple and tomato juices. Chlorogenic acid in tomato juice was the only component not fully resolved in the single run study and the multiple run analysis prior to enzyme treatment. The single run system of analysis is recommended for the initial investigation of plant phenolics and the multiple run approach for analyses where chromatographic resolution requires improvement.

Cytochrome c catalyses the formation of pentyl radical and octanoic acid radical from linoleic acid hydroperoxide.

A reaction of 13-hydroperoxide octadecadienoic acid (13-HPODE) with cytochrome c was analysed using ESR, HPLC-ESR and HPLC-ESR-MS by the combined use of the spin-trapping technique. The ESR, HPLC-ESR and HPLC-ESR-MS analyses showed that cytochrome c catalyses formation of pentyl and octanoic acid radicals from 13-HPODE. On the other hand, only the alpha-(4-pyridyl-1-oxide)-N-t-butylnitrone/octanoic acid radical adduct was detected in the elution profile of HPLC-ESR for a mixture of 13-HPODE with haematin, indicating that haematin catalyses the formation of octanoic acid radical. In addition, the reaction of 13-HPODE with cytochrome c was inhibited by chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid and ferulic acid via two possible mechanisms, i.e. reducing cytochrome c (chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid) and scavenging the radical intermediates (chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid and ferulic acid).

Interaction of 3'-O-caffeoyl D-quinic acid with human serum albumin.

The interaction of chlorogenic acid (CGA) with human serum albumin (HSA) was studied from the view-point of thermodynamics and mechanism of binding at pH 6.0. The association constants (Ka) for the HSA-CGA interaction at 10, 25 and 40 degrees C were 6.0 x 10(4), 9.0 x 10(3) and 2 x 10(4) M-1, resulting in delta G of -6.21, -5.80, -6.32 kcal/mol, respectively. These high Ka-values showed that the interaction between CGA and HSA is strong, endothermic and entropically driven. Binding of chlorogenic acid induces conformational change in HSA as indicated by quenching of fluorescence emission intensity along with a red shift in the emission maxima from 338 to 350 nm. This suggested the involvement of the lone tryptophan residue in the region of binding. Far-ultraviolet circular dichroic data showed a decrease in the alpha-helical content of HSA from 56 to 50% upon binding of CGA. These data are also supported by the decrease in the apparent Tm of HSA by 4 degrees C upon binding of CGA causing destabilization of the HSA molecule. The kinetics of the interaction involves a single step in the binding, and the kinetic curve attains equilibrium within 180 +/- 5 s. Data on caffeic acid (CA) and quinic acid (QA), which are the hydrolysis products of the bidentate CGA molecule, indicate that CA interacts more strongly than CGA. CA binds with an association constant of 8 x 10(4) M-1 and with a maximum number of binding sites of four. Microcalorimetric investigation of the interaction of these ligands with HSA suggests that the strength of binding follows the order CA >> CGA >>> QA with a single class of binding sites. The effect of temperature on the binding of CGA to HSA showed that the interaction is dominated by hydrophobic forces and hydrogen bonding.

High-performance liquid chromatographic method for simultaneous determination of hawthorn active components in rat plasma.

A simple HPLC method with photodiode-array (PDA) ultraviolet detection was developed for the simultaneous determination of four active polyphenol components of hawthorn (Crataegus), chlorogenic acid, epicatechin, hyperoside and isoquercitrin, in rat plasma. Following extraction from the plasma samples with ethyl acetate-methanol (2:1, v/v), these four compounds were successfully separated using a C18 column with a gradient elution of 5 and 25% acetonitrile in 25 mM phosphate buffer (pH 2.4). The flow-rate was set at 1 ml/min and the eluent was detected at 325 nm for chlorogenic acid, 278 nm for epicatechin, and 360 nm for both hyperoside and isoquercitrin. Narignin (0.82 microg) was used as the internal standard and was detected at 278 nm. The method is linear over the studied range of 0.16-40, 0.63-160, 0.13-32 and 0.13-30 microg/ml for chlorogenic acid, epicatechin, hyperoside and isoquercitrin, respectively. The correlation coefficient for each analyte was greater than 0.995. The intra-day and inter-day precision of the analysis was better than 4 and 7%, respectively. The extraction recoveries at low to high concentration were greater than 85% for both epicatechin and chlorogenic acid, and greater than 94% for both hyperoside and isoquercitrin. The detection limits were 0.04, 0.20, 0.03 and 0.03 microg/ml for chlorogenic acid, epicatechin, hyperoside and isoquercitrin. The developed method was used to analyze the plasma concentrations of the four analytes after the intravenous administration of hawthorn polyphenol extract to rats.

Antibacterial activity of coffee extracts and selected coffee chemical compounds against enterobacteria.

The in vitro antimicrobial activity of commercial coffee extracts and chemical compounds was investigated on nine strains of enterobacteria. The antimicrobial activity investigated by the disc diffusion method was observed in both the extracts and tested chemical compounds. Even though pH, color, and the contents of trigonelline, caffeine, and chlorogenic acids differed significantly among the coffee extracts, no significant differences were observed in their antimicrobial activity. Caffeic acid and trigonelline showed similar inhibitory effect against the growth of the microorganisms. Caffeine, chlorogenic acid, and protocatechuic acid showed particularly strong effect against Serratia marcescens and Enterobacter cloacae. The IC(50) and IC(90) for the compounds determined by the microtiter plate method indicated that trigonelline, caffeine, and protocatechuic acids are potential natural antimicrobial agents against Salmonella enterica. The concentrations of caffeine found in coffee extracts are enough to warrant 50% of the antimicrobial effect against S. enterica, which is relevant to human safety.

Genotoxicity of instant coffee and of some phenolic compounds present in coffee upon nitrosation.

Instant coffee exhibits genotoxic activity upon nitrosation at acidic pH values in the Ames tester strain TA100. Using adsorption chromatography (Amberlit XAD-2) it was observed that the major fraction of molecules responsible for the genotoxic activity upon nitrosation was not retained on this resin, suggesting that the polar molecules present in instant coffee could be responsible for the genotoxicity observed upon nitrosation. Some phenolic molecules present in instant coffee (catechol, caffeic acid, and chlorogenic acid) were also genotoxic upon nitrosation under the same experimental conditions. The concentrations of nitrosatable phenolic compounds in the studied coffee were determined by HPLC and their contributions to the total genotoxicity observed were studied. The results obtained suggest that besides phenolic compounds other molecules were also involved in the genotoxicity of this beverage upon nitrosation. Teratogenesis Carcinog.

Food safety and epidemiology: new database of functional food factors.

More than 600 functional non-nutrient food factors (FFFs) in vegetables and fruits are considered to be effective for health promotion and disease prevention. However, phytochemicals studied thus far have failed to yield predicted results in randomized intervention studies. To assess the health effects of phytochemicals, a breakthrough in epidemiological methods was necessary. We constructed a database of non-nutrient FFFs to estimate the chemical classes and total amount of FFF-intake in order to facilitate estimation and calculation for nutritional research. So far, flavonoids, terpenoids, carotenoids, and sulfur compounds are included in our FFF database. We calculated the intake of various phytochemicals per capita from 79 subjects' dietary records by FFF database, and estimated that subjects ingested more than 10 micromole per day of phytochemicals such as catechin, isoflavones, isothiocyanate, ferulic acid, quercetin, cinnamic acid and chlorogenic acid. Chief component analysis yielded 12 factors (80%), of which only a few factors showed negative associations with serum cholesterol and LDL concentration. Many factors showed adverse relationships with liver function and serum triacylglycerol concentration. Weekly self-reported daily dietary records including name of dish, constituent foods and their amounts were separately collected for 6 months and analyzed in Kyoto women. Seasonal changes of phytochemical intake showed significant variation according to the seasonal consumption of fruits and vegetables. Lycopene increased in the summer due to watermelon and tomato intake in this season. Seasonal variation of FFF was quite large compared to the variation of macro- and micronutrients. Careful evaluation of the effects of FFF intake on health is necessary, especially when supplements are also consumed. The most effective combinations of FFF intake for human health could be elucidated by using our FFF-DB in conjunction with population-based cohort studies.

Intake of phytochemicals among Japanese, calculated by the new FFF database.

Effects of phytochemicals on human health are suggested from various animal experiments, but human studies remain insufficient. We have constructed a database of various phytochemicals (polyphenols, carotenoids, and sulphur compounds) (http://www.life-science.jp/fff/) and estimated the amount of intake among Japanese population. The subjects were volunteers (16 males and 63 females, averagely aged 71 and 61, respectively) in Iwate city. Average BMI was 23 in both sexes. Intake of 36 phytochemicals was calculated from one-day dietary records of all intake, by multiplying concentrations of each phytochemical in foods. Phytochemicals with average intake of at least 10 micromole per day were catechin, isoflavones, isothiocyanate, ferulic acid, quercetin, cinnamic acid and chlorogenic acid. Chief component analysis yielded 12 factors (80%).

Interaction of iron with polyphenolic compounds: application to antioxidant characterization.

Antioxidant action of flavonoids and polyphenolics was analyzed in relation to iron coordination. Flavonoids including baicalein, baicalin, quercetin, and rutin showed little or no reducing activity, and enhanced the autooxidation of Fe2+ ion. Ascorbate-mediated reduction of iron was rather inhibited by flavonoids. Nonflavonoid polyphenolics such as protocatechuic acid and chlorogenic acid, on the contrary, showed a potent iron-reducing ability, and protected Fe2+ ion from autooxidation completely. Both flavonoids and nonflavonoids effectively inhibited the formation of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances as a marker of lipid peroxidation of microsomes from rat liver. Flavonoids act as an antioxidant by inhibiting the oxygen radical formation through the enhanced oxidation of Fe2+ ion as the prooxidant. Antioxidant properties of nonflavonoids can be explained by the formation of inactive Fe(2+)-polyphenol complex, which cannot react with oxygen, and/or can scavenge reactive oxygen species. Analysis of the action of polyphenolics on the iron redox state may be useful for characterization of the antioxidant effect.

Directly coupled high-performance liquid chromatography and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic with chemometric studies on metabolic variation in Sprague--Dawley rats.

We report here the first combined use of NMR-PR (pattern recognition) analysis and directly coupled HPLC--NMR analysis to identify metabolic subpopulations in normal laboratory animals and their discriminating endogenous urinary biomarkers. Urine samples obtained from control Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 68) were analyzed using (1)H NMR spectroscopy and principal components (PC) analysis to investigate physiological variability. Two distinct subpopulations of animals were classified based on metabolite excretion profiles. Analysis of the PC loadings established the spectral regions that were responsible for classification of the subpopulations and was used to direct the identification of biomarkers using a directly coupled HPLC--NMR analysis. One population had low urinary hippurate levels together with an increased concentration of 3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid (3-HPPA)and 3-hydroxycinnamic acid (3-HCA). The other subpopulation excreted high levels of hippurate. Thus, we report the bimodal occurrence of hippuric acid and chlorogenic acid metabolites in a genetically homogeneous population of rats maintained under identical conditions, which may have significance in relation to the understanding of the consequences of biochemical variation in animals used for drug toxicity testing.

Protocatechuic acid induces cell death in HepG2 hepatocellular carcinoma cells through a c-Jun N-terminal kinase-dependent mechanism.

Protocatechuic acid (PCA), chlorogenic acid (CA) and luteolin (LT) are plant phenols found in Chinese medicinal herbs such as Lonicera japonica. Cytotoxicity assays showed that PCA, CA and LT (at 100 micromol/L) effectively killed the HepG2 hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Among these three naturally occurring compounds, only PCA was capable of stimulating the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38 subgroups of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family. Coincidently, PCA-induced cell death was rescued by specific inhibitors for JNK and p38, while the cytotoxicities of CA and LT were partially eliminated by the antioxidant effect of N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC). Further investigation demonstrated that the aqueous extract of Lonicera japonica also triggered HepG2 cell death in a JNK-dependent manner, but the amount of PCA alone in this herbal extract was insufficient to contribute the subsequent cytotoxic effect. Collectively, our results suggest that PCA is a naturally occurring compound capable of inducing JNK-dependent hepatocellular carcinoma cell death.

Apiaceous vegetable constituents inhibit human cytochrome P-450 1A2 (hCYP1A2) activity and hCYP1A2-mediated mutagenicity of aflatoxin B1.

In humans, apiaceous vegetables (carrots, parsnips, celery, parsley, etc.) inhibit cytochrome P-450 1A2, a biotransformation enzyme known to activate several procarcinogens, including aflatoxin B1 (AFB). We evaluated eight phytochemicals from apiaceous vegetables for effects on human cytochrome P-450 1A2 (hCYP1A2) activity using a methoxyresorufin O-demethylase (MROD) assay and a trp-recombination assay. Saccharomyces cerevisiae was used for heterologous CYP1A2 expression and this yeast strain is also diploid and auxotrophic for tryptophan due to mutations in the trp5 alleles. When these two alleles undergo AFB-induced mitotic recombination, gene conversion occurs, allowing yeast to grow in the absence of tryptophan. The apiaceous constituents psoralen, 5-methoxypsoralen (5-MOP), 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP), and apigenin were potent inhibitors of hCYP1A2-mediated MROD activity in yeast microsomes, whereas quercetin was a modest hCYP1A2 inhibitor. Naringenin, caffeic acid, and chlorogenic acid did not inhibit hCYP1A2-mediated MROD activity. The 2-h pretreatment of intact yeast cells with psoralen, 5-MOP, and 8-MOP significantly improved cell survival after subsequent 4-h AFB treatment and reduced hCYP1A2-mediated mutagenicity of AFB. Apigenin also significantly decreased mutagenicity. These results suggest that in vivo CYP1A2 inhibition by apiaceous vegetables may be due to the phytochemicals present and imply that apiaceous vegetable intake may be chemopreventive by inhibiting CYP1A2-mediated carcinogen activation.

Bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of caffeoylquinic acids and flavonoids after oral administration of Artichoke leaf extracts in humans.

Extracts from artichoke leaves are traditionally used in the treatment of dyspeptic and hepatic disorders. Various potential pharmacodynamic effects have been observed in vitro for mono- and dicaffeoylquinic acids (e.g. chlorogenic acid, cynarin), caffeic acid and flavonoids (e.g. luteolin-7-O-glucoside) which are the main phenolic constituents of artichoke leaf extract (ALE). However, in vivo not only the genuine extract constituents but also their metabolites may contribute to efficacy. Therefore, the evaluation of systemic availability of potential bioactive plant constituents is a major prerequisite for the interpretation of in vitro pharmacological testing. In order to get more detailed information about absorption, metabolism and disposition of ALE, two different extracts were administered to 14 healthy volunteers in a crossover study. Each subject received doses of both extracts. Extract A administered dose: caffeoylquinic acids equivalent to 107.0 mg caffeic acid and luteolin glycosides equivalent to 14.4 mg luteolin. Extract B administered dose: caffeoylquinic acids equivalent to 153.8 mg caffeic acid and luteolin glycosides equivalent to 35.2 mg luteolin. Urine and plasma analysis were performed by a validated HPLC method using 12-channel coulometric array detection. In human plasma or urine none of the genuine target extract constituents could be detected. However, caffeic acid (CA), its methylated derivates ferulic acid (FA) and isoferulic acid (IFA) and the hydrogenation products dihydrocaffeic acid (DHCA) and dihydroferulic acid (DHFA) were identified as metabolites derived from caffeoylquinic acids. Except of DHFA all of these compounds were present as sulfates or glucuronides. Peak plasma concentrations of total CA, FA and IFA were reached within 1 h and declined over 24 h showing almost biphasic profiles. In contrast maximum concentrations for total DHCA and DHFA were observed only after 6-7 h, indicating two different metabolic pathways for caffeoylquinic acids. Luteolin administered as glucoside was recovered from plasma and urine only as sulfate or glucuronide but neither in form of genuine glucosides nor as free luteolin. Peak plasma concentrations were reached rapidly within 0.5 h. The elimination showed a biphasic profile.

In vitro estrogenic activity of Achillea millefolium L.

Isolation and biological characterization of pure compounds was used to identify and characterize estrogenic activity and estrogen receptors (ER) preference in chemical components of Achillea millefolium. This medicinal plant is used in folk medicine as an emmenagogue. In vitro assay, based on recombinant MCF-7 cells, showed estrogenic activity in a crude extract of the aerial parts of A. millefolium. After fractionation of the crude extract with increasing polar solvents, estrogenic activity was found in the methanol/water fraction. Nine compounds were isolated and characterized by HR-MS spectra and 1D- and 2D-NMR techniques. In particular, dihydrodehydrodiconiferyl alcohol 9-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside - a glycosyl-neolignan - was isolated for the first time from the genus Achillea in addition to six flavone derivatives, apigenin, apigenin-7-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside, luteolin, luteolin-7-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside, luteolin-4'-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside, rutin, and two caffeic acid derivatives, 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid and chlorogenic acid. Apigenin and luteolin, the most important estrogenic compounds among those tested, were studied for their ability to activate alpha or beta estrogen receptors (ERalpha, ERbeta) using transiently transfected cells. Our results suggest that isolation and biological characterization of estrogenic compounds in traditionally used medicinal plants could be a first step in better assessing further (e.g. in vivo) tests of nutraceutical and pharmacological strategies based on phytoestrogens.

Studies on reactions of oxidizing sulfur-sulfur three-electron-bond complexes and reducing alpha-amino radicals derived from OH reaction with methionine in aqueous solution.

The technique of pulse radiolysis with spectrophotometric detection has been used to investigate the possibility of electron transfer reactions between oxidizing sulfur-sulfur three-electron-bond complexes (Met2/S thereforeS+), or reducing alpha-amino radicals (CH3SCH2CH2CH.NH2) derived from reaction of methionine with OH radicals and hydroxycinnamic acid (HCA) derivatives, riboflavin (RF) or flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), respectively. The HCA derivatives, such as caffeic acid, ferulic acid, sinapic acid and chlorogenic acid, widely distributed phenolic acids in fruit and vegetables, have been identified as good antioxidants previously can rapidly and efficiently repair oxidizing three-electron-bond complexes via electron transfer. RF and FAD can oxidize reducing alpha-amino radicals derived from methionine. The electron transfer rate constants approximately 10(9) dm3 x mol(-1)x s(-1) were determined by following the build-up kinetics of species produced.
