Seasonal influence on phenolic-mediated antihyperglycemic properties of Canadian sugar and red maple leaves using in vitro assay models

Red and sugar maple leaves collected in the summer and fall from Canada, were evaluated for phenolic content, antioxidant, α-glucosidase, and α-amylase inhibitory activities variation. The phenolic contents of summer red maple leaves (RML-S) and summer sugar maple leaves (SML-S) were higher than red and sugar maple leaves collected in fall (RML-F and SML-F, respectively). HPLC analyses showed differences in phenolic compounds present in the SML samples compared to the RML samples. The extracts were assayed for yeast and rat α-glucosidase inhibitory activities. Both results showed that SML-S extracts had the highest inhibitory activity which could possibly be attributed to the unique phenolics present therein. Milder effects were observed in terms of α-amylase inhibitory activity, with RML-F having the highest inhibitory activity. These results suggest that maple tree leaf extracts may have potential for phenolic-mediated α-glucosidase inhibition, relevant to type 2 diabetes management, with SML-S extract having the highest bioactivity.

In Vitro Potential of Ascophyllum nodosum Phenolic Antioxidant-Mediated α-Glucosidase and α-Amylase Inhibition

ABSTRACT: Ascophyllum nodosum is a brown seaweed that grows abundantly in the Northeast coastal region. In this study, the potential of A. nodosum for type 2 diabetes management through antioxidant-mediated α-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibition was investigated. After the initial screening of 4 locally harvested seaweeds, A. nodosum was chosen for its highest phenolic content and was subjected to water extraction. Among extraction ratios of 50 g to 100 to 1000 mL at room temperature, 50 g/400 mL yielded the highest phenolic content of 4.5 mg/g wet weight. For evaluation of extraction temperature ranging from 20 to 80 °C, 50 g/400 mL was chosen as a minimum amount of extractant. Among temperatures studied, extraction at 80 °C resulted in the highest total phenolic contents (4.2 mg/g wet weight). All extracts had similar levels of antioxidant activity in the range of 60% to 70% in terms of 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activity. The 80 °C extract had the highest α-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibitory activity with IC₅₀ of 0.24 and 1.34 μg phenolics, respectively, compared to the IC₅₀ of acarbose, reference inhibitor, being 0.37 and 0.68 μg. The results show that fresh A. nodosum has strong α-glucosidase and mild α-amylase inhibitory activities that correlated with phenolic contents. This study suggests a nutraceutical potential of A. nodosum based on phytochemical antioxidant and antihyperglycemia activities.     

Biological activity of rice extract and the inhibition potential of rice extract,rice volatile compounds and their combination against α-glucosidase, α-amylase and tyrosinase

Rice is produced for consumption and traditional medicine. Rice is also used as an ingredient in cosmetic products. In this study, the author investigated the biological activity and inhibition potential against α-glucosidase, α-amylase and tyrosinase activity of rice extract (black rice [BR], red rice [RR] and white rice [WR]), rice volatile compounds, rice extract combined with volatile compounds, rice extract combined with standard inhibitors and volatile compounds combined with standard inhibitors. The results revealed that the free-radical scavenging capacity of rice extract is related to the phenolic content and flavonoids. BR showed the highest potential to inhibit α-glucosidase and α-amylase activity, whereas WR showed the highest potential to inhibit tyrosinase activity. Among rice volatile compounds, vanillin and vanillyl alcohol had the highest inhibition potential against α-glucosidase and α-amylase, respectively, whereas guaiacol had the highest inhibitory activity against tyrosinase. Molecular docking supported by the high binding efficiency was also obtained from vanillin and guaiacol when located at the active site of these enzymes. The combination of RR with acarbose (AB) had the highest inhibition potential and showed a synergic effect on both α-glucosidase and α-amylase. Interestingly, the combination of rice extract (BR, RR and WR) and vanillin and vanillyl alcohol had a synergic effect on α-amylase. Moreover, the combination of WR and vanillyl alcohol had the highest inhibition potential and showed a synergic effect on tyrosinase, whereas rice volatile compounds had a synergic effect on tyrosinase obtained from 2-pentylfuran/kojic acid (KA), vanillin/KA and vanillyl alcohol/KA.

本研究将糙米多酚(brown rice polyphenols,BRP)经过提取和C₁₈固相柱纯化后,研究了BRP对α-淀粉酶和α-葡萄糖苷酶的抑制作用及其机理。液相色谱-质谱联用技术(UPLC-DAD-ESI-Q-TOF-MS)分析结果表明,BRP中大部分多酚以糖苷的形式存在,包括1种酚醛、2种酚酸酰胺、4种酚酸糖苷、6种酚酸、6种酚酸酯和8种黄酮糖苷。BRP对α-葡萄糖苷酶显示出剂量依赖型酶抑制活性,当浓度为2 mg/mL时,抑制率最高可达到39.37%,而BRP对α-淀粉酶无明显抑制作用。此外,荧光光谱和热力学研究结果表明,BRP能与α-葡萄糖苷酶发生疏水相互作用,对α-葡萄糖苷酶的内源荧光具有动态猝灭作用。以上结果表明,BRP主要通过与α-葡萄糖苷酶发生疏水相互作用抑制α-葡萄糖苷酶的活性,从而延缓碳水化合物的水解。本文为改善餐后血糖提供一定的参考。     

In vitro screening of phenolic compounds, potential inhibition against α-amylase and α-glucosidase of culinary herbs in Thailand

Herbs that are commonly used in Thai dishes were selected for evaluation in order to determine their phenolic compounds, antioxidant activity, and in vitro potential inhibition against α-amylase and α-glucosidase. The total phenolic content ranged from 2.89 to 75.26 mg GAE/g dw. The three aqueous herb extracts with the highest total phenolic content were yellow-berried nightshade (Solanum xanthocarpum), holy basil (Ocimum sanctum) and acacia (Acacia pennata). The antioxidant activity was expressed as percent inhibition of DPPH, ranging from a high of 85% in bitter gourd (Monordica charantia) to a low of 0% in garlic (Allium sativum) and shallot (Allium cepa). A high correlation (r = 0.70, p < 0.05) was observed between total phenolic content and antioxidant activity for the herb extracts in the Solanaceae family while, an insignificant high and negatively correlation (r = −1.00, p > 0.05) for the herb extracts in the Cucurbitaceae and Umbelliferae families was observed. All of the herbs had caffeic content, varying from 0.00 to 23.93 mg/g dw. Peppermint (Mentha canalenisa), galangal (Languas galangal) and holy basil (O. sanctum) had a significant p-coumaric acid content. The first and second obtained principal component represented 60% of the total variation. The potential inhibition against α-amylase for the herbs extracts ranged from 0% to 58%, while the highest percentage was observed in the acacia (A. pennata) extract. The potential inhibition against α-glucosidase varied from 7% to 100%. A high correlation (r = 0.68, p < 0.05) was observed between α-amylase inhibition and caffeic acid content for aqueous extracts in the Alliaceae, Cucurbitaceae, and Leguminosae families, while a high correlation (r = 0.49, p < 0.05) was observed between α-glucosidase inhibition and total phenolic content for the aqueous extracts of all herbs. Therefore, specific culinary herbs showed to have a potential use for dietary management during the early stages of hyperglycaemia.     

Inhibitory effect of raspberries on starch digestive enzyme and their antioxidant properties and phenolic composition

Seven primocane fall-bearing raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) cultivars, Nova (red), Dinkum (red), Heritage (red), Autumn Britten (red), Josephine, Anne (yellow), Fall Gold (yellow) were analysed for potential health promoting properties including their inhibitory effect on starch and fat digestive enzymes, antioxidant activities, and phenolic composition. The tested raspberry extracts showed no detectable inhibition of pancreatic α-amylase and lipase. However, all the extracts exhibited potent inhibition of α-glucosidase with IC₅₀ from 16.8 to 34.2 μg/mL. Four phenolic compounds, ellagic acid, cyanidin-diglucoside, pelargonidin-3-rutinoside, and catechin were identified as the active α-glucosidase inhibitors. The raspberry extracts also possessed significant antioxidant activities with oxygen radical absorbance capacities (ORAC) ranging from 136.7 to 205.2 μmol Trolox equivalents (TE)/g dry weight fruit and DPPH radical scavenging activities from 305 to 351 μmol TE/g. The total phenolic content of raspberry cultivars varied significantly from 40.9 to 98.5 mg of gallic acid equivalents/g dry weight. The anthocyanin content varied widely from 0.1 to 9.5 mg cyanidin 3-glucoside equivalents/g. Nine phenolic acids were quantified in raspberries and their total amounts varied from 157.3 to 713.5 μg/g. The enzyme inhibition and antioxidant properties of raspberry cultivars were not correlated with their total phenolic, anthocyanin, and phenolic acid content. Overall, ‘Dinkum’ and ‘Josephine’ raspberry varieties possess higher total phenolic content, ORAC, DPPH radical scavenging activity, and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity than other five cultivars.     

EVALUATION OF RED CURRANTS (RIBES RUBRUM L.), BLACK CURRANTS (RIBES NIGRUM L.), RED AND GREEN GOOSEBERRIES (RIBES UVA-CRISPA) FOR POTENTIAL MANAGEMENT OF TYPE 2 DIABETES AND HYPERTENSION USING IN VITRO MODELS

Red currants (Ribes rubrum L.), black currants (Ribes nigrum L.), red and green gooseberries (Ribes uva-crispa) were evaluated for the total phenolics, antioxidant capacity based on 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging assay and functionality such as in vitro inhibition of α-amylase, α-glucosidase and angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) relevant for potential management of hyperglycemia and hypertension. The total phenolics content ranged from 3.2 (green gooseberries) to 13.5 (black currants) mg/g fruit fresh weight. No correlation was found between total phenolics and antioxidant activity. The major phenolic compounds were quercetin derivatives (black currants and green gooseberries) and chlorogenic acid (red currants and red gooseberries). Red currants had the highest α-glucosidase, α-amylase and ACE inhibitory activities. Therefore red currants could be good dietary sources with potential antidiabetes and antihypertension functionality to compliment overall dietary management of early stages of type 2 diabetes.

为了探究寒地果树资源果实中的营养价值及体外活性,本试验测定了软枣猕猴桃、黑果腺肋花楸、草原樱桃、白穗醋栗和蔓越莓五种果实的总酚、总花色苷含量,比较了其抗氧化及抗α-淀粉酶活性,并进行了相关性分析,结果表明:不同寒地果实的总酚、总花色苷含量之间存在显著差异(P<0.05)。总酚含量为13.21~66.43 mg GAE/100 g,其中黑果腺肋花楸含量最高,白穗醋栗次之;总花色苷含量为0.15~46.45 mg C3G/100 g,黑果腺肋花楸含量最高,草原樱桃次之。另外5种果实的抗氧化能力也有所差异。用DPPH法、ABTS法、ORAC法、FRAP法测得白穗醋栗的抗氧化活性最强。用高通量淀粉浊度法测得白穗醋栗的抗α-淀粉酶活性最强,IC₅₀为0.122 mg/mL,高于阿卡波糖(0.16 mg/mL),其AE值为2034.18 mmol AE/g,高于阿卡波糖(1550 mmoL AE/g),且是其他果实的42~127倍。相关性分析发现五种寒地果实的总酚、总花色苷含量和抗氧化活性之间存在极显著正相关(P<0.01),而与抗α-淀粉酶活性之间无显著性相关关系。     

Effect of thermal processing on phenolics, antioxidant activity and health-relevant functionality of select grain sprouts and seedlings

The effect of thermal processing via autoclaving on modifications of total phenolics, antioxidant activity and functionality of wheat, buckwheat, corn and oats sprouts and seedlings were investigated. Functionality for type 2 diabetes related α-amylase, α-glucosidase inhibition and levo-dihydroxy phenylalanine (l-DOPA) content, hypertension related angiotensin converting enzyme 1 (ACE) inhibition and ulcer related Helicobacter pylori inhibition were evaluated using in vitro assays. Thermal processing in general resulted in tissue browning leading to higher total phenolic content and free radical scavenging-linked antioxidant activity. It increased α-amylase inhibitory activity in buckwheat and oats but decreased in wheat and corn sprouts and seedlings. It increased α-glucosidase inhibitory activity in wheat, buckwheat and oats but decreased in corn sprouts. It reduced the cognitive function/diabetes related l-DOPA content in all grains sprouts and seedlings tested. It increased ACE inhibitory activity in buckwheat and oats, but decreased in wheat and corn sprouts. It also improved the ulcer related H. pylori inhibitory activity in all grain sprouts and seedlings studied. These changes in functionality are suggested to be due to modifications in the total phenolic content and profile by phenolic oxidation or polymerization caused by thermal processing. Therefore, diet designs for chronic disease management will have to consider thermal processing-linked modification of bioactive ingredient profiles.

Industrial relevance

Thermal processing altered the total phenolic content and antioxidant activity in winter wheat, buckwheat, corn and oats sprouts and seedlings. It modified the α-amylase inhibitory activity, α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, l-DOPA content, ACE inhibitory activity and H. pylori inhibitory activity of samples. Therefore, the food processing industry and diet design for chronic disease management will have to consider thermal processing-linked modification of bioactive ingredient profiles for more effective health benefits.     

Antioxidant activity and α-glucosidase inhibitory potential of onion (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Allium cepa</Emphasis> L.) extracts

In the current study, we evaluated total phenolics, phenolic profile, and oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) of onion (Allium cepa L.). The inhibitory activity of onion extracts against porcine pancreatic α-amylase and rat intestinal α-glucosidase was also investigated. Ethyl alcohol extract of onion skin had the highest α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, ORAC value and total phenolic content, followed by water extract of skin, ethyl alcohol extract of pulp, and water extract of pulp. The α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of the extracts was compared to selected specific phenolics detected in the extracts using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Quercetin, a major phenolic compound in onion extract had high α-glucosidase inhibitiory activity. The α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of the onion extracts correlated to the phenolic content and antioxidant activity of the extracts. These results suggest that onion which has high quercetin content has the potential to contribute as a dietary supplement for controlling hyperglycemia and oxidative stress-linked diabetes complications.     

EFFECT OF THERMAL PROCESSING ON THE PHENOLIC ASSOCIATED HEALTH-RELEVANT FUNCTIONALITY OF SELECTED LEGUME SPROUTS AND SEEDLINGS

The effect of thermal processing on modification of phenolics-linked functionality of the sprout and seedling extracts of select legumes was investigated. Health-relevant functionality for type 2 diabetes-related α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibition, hypertension-related angiotensin-converting enzyme 1 (ACE 1) inhibition and ulcer-related Helicobacter pylori inhibition was investigated. Thermal processing via autoclaving resulted in tissue browning, leading to higher total phenolic content and free radical scavenging-linked antioxidant activity. Thermal processing also improved the type 2 diabetes-related functionality. Fenugreek had the highest α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, followed by soybean, fava bean and mung bean. The H. pylori inhibitory activity of all extracts improved substantially after thermal processing with direct correlation to phenolic content and related antioxidant activity. The ACE 1 inhibitory activity and levo-dihydroxy phenylalanine content of most extracts declined with thermal processing.

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS

Thermal processing by autoclaving improved the total phenolic content and antioxidant activity in fava bean, mung bean, fenugreek, and soybean sprouts and seedlings. It improved diabetes-related α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities and ulcer-related Helicobacter pylori inhibitory activity. It reduced the cognitive function-related levo-dihydroxy phenylalanine content and hypertension-related angiotensin-converting enzyme 1 inhibitory activity. Therefore, diet designs for chronic disease management will have to consider thermal processing-linked modification of bioactive ingredient profiles.     

Chemical composition and bioactivities of the polyphenolic-rich extract of Ormenis africana Jord. and Fourr

Ormenis africana is an endemic North African species used in folk medicine because of its hypoglycemic property. In this study, the α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibition and antioxidant activities of the polyphenolic-rich extract from O. africana were determined. The chemical composition was made using liquid chromatography with photodiode array and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry method and the identification of phenolics was assessed by comparing their retention times and ultraviolet and mass spectra with those of the standards and/or reported in the literature. The total phenolic content was estimated by the Folin–Ciocalteu method. The antidiabetic potential was estimated by the determination of α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibition in vitro. Four assays were used for the evaluation of antioxidant activity of the extracts. Seventeen phenolic compounds were detected. The major peaks are chlorogenic acid, 5-O-di-caffeoylquinic acid, and apigenin and luteolin derivatives. The polyphenolic-rich extract showed remarkable α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibition activity in a concentration dependent manner. Furthermore, the extract also demonstrated high antioxidant activities. O. africana can serve as a potential natural source for the development of a novel α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitory agents against diabetic complications.

Inhibitory potential of trilobatin from Lithocarpus polystachyus Rehd against α-glucosidase and α-amylase linked to type 2 diabetes

The chemical structure of the sweet compound from Lithocarpuspolystachyus Rehd was identified as trilobatin on the basis of HPLC, EIS-MS and NMR analyses. The inhibitory activities of trilobatin against α-glucosidase and α-amylase were evaluated, and the inhibition mechanism was analysed with Lineweaver–Burk plots. Also the antioxidant activity evaluation of trilobatin was conducted by DPPH radical scavenging assay. Comparing with acarbose, trilobatin showed a strong inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase and a moderate inhibitory activity against α-amylase. The Lineweaver–Burk plots analysis elucidated that trilobatin inhibited the enzyme non-competitively. DPPH scavenging activity of trilobatin (IC₅₀ = 0.57 mg/ml) was higher than rutin (IC₅₀ = 0.72 mg/ml), which indicated that trilobatin had a moderate antioxidant potential. These results suggest that trilobatin is a potential effective α-glucosidase inhibitor for management of postprandial hyperglycemia with less side effect, and provide strong rationale for further animal and clinical studies.     

Role of Carbohydrate-Cleaving Enzymes in Phenolic Antioxidant Mobilization from Whole Soybean Fermented with Rhizopus oligosporus

Previous research has suggested a relationship between free phenolic content and β-glucosidase activity in solid-state fermented food substrates and to amylase activity in germinating soybeans. This study was undertaken to examine the role of a number of carbohydrate-cleaving enzymes in phenolic antioxidant mobilization from whole soybean during solid-state fermentation. In addition to total soluble phenolic content, α- and β-glucosidase, α-amylase, and β-glucuronidase activities were measured in extracts of soybean fermented with a food-grade fungus, Rhizopus oligosporus. Antioxidant activity of the extracts was determined as 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging ability. Our results demonstrate that while total soluble phenolic content increased 120–135% in the extracts, increased antioxidant activity (+61%) was limited to the early fermentation period, with activity decreasing with increased culture time. Higher antioxidant activity was linked to increased glucosidase and glucuronidase activities, while high total phenolic content partly linked to increased amylase activity. The overall results (enzymatic activities and phenolic antioxidant contents) suggest the possible involvement of lignin remobilization and/or degradation activities, as well as phenolic detoxification activities, by Rhizopus oligosporus in phenolic antioxidant mobilization from fermented whole soybean.     

Phenolic compounds in cowpea and horse gram flours in comparison to chickpea flour: Evaluation of their antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory properties associated with hyperglycemia and hypertension

Evaluation of phenolic contents and their in vitro bioactive functional properties of cowpea and horse gram flours in comparison to chickpea flour revealed that horse gram flour, which contain highest concentrations of total phenolics and total flavonoids was found to be the most active 2,2′-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenger. Hydrogen peroxide scavenging capacity, reducing power and metal chelating abilities were significantly higher in cowpea and horse gram than chickpea flour. Phenolic extracts from flours showed distinct variations in the inhibition of enzymes associated with hyperglycemia and hypertension. Although, α-glucosidase inhibitory activity was superior in cowpea (IC₅₀ 52.8 μg/ml), α-amylase (IC₅₀ 96.4 μg/ml) and angiotensin-I converting enzyme (IC₅₀ 32.8 μg/ml) inhibitory activities were predominant in horse gram. These results provided useful information for effective utilisation of legume flours as ingredients in composite flours and for the development of food products with health promoting functions.
