Puerarin (daidzein-8-C-glucoside), one of the bioactive isoflavones, has attracted attention in various industries due to its excellent pharmacological effects such as antioxidant effect, estrogen-like activity, reduction blood sugar, and neuroprotective effect. is most abundantly found roots Pueraria lobata (RPL) among biomass sources. To improve utilization feasibility puerarin, a high-yield extraction process should be designed for RPL. This study aimed optimize more efficiently recover...
PAMAM dendrimers are cationic polymers that have been used for the delivery of genes and oligonucleotides to cells. However, little is known about behavior dendrimer-nucleic acid complexes once they reach cell interior. To pursue this issue, we prepared conjugated with fluorescent dye Oregon green 488. These were in conjunction labeled a red (TAMRA) fluorophore order visualize sub-cellular distribution dendrimer-oligonucleotide complex its components by two-color digital fluorescence...
Toxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium spp. produce saxitoxins (STXs), whose biosynthesis pathway is affected by temperature. However, the link between regulation of relevant genes and STXs' accumulation temperature insufficiently understood. In present study, we evaluated effects on cellular STXs expression two core STX (sxtA4 sxtG) in toxic Alexandrium catenella Alex03 isolated from Korean waters. We analyzed growth rate, toxin profiles, gene responses cells exposed to different...
Biorefineries are attracting attention as an alternative to the petroleum industry reduce carbon emissions and achieve sustainable development. In particular, because forests play important role in potentially reducing greenhouse gas net zero, alternatives cellulose produced by plants required. Bacterial (BC) can prevent deforestation has a high potential for use biomaterial various industries such food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals. This study aimed improve BC production from lignocellulose,...
Naringin is a flavonoid found in citrus fruits. It exhibits biological activities, such as anticancer and antioxidant effects, but it suffers from low solubility stability lipophilic systems. These drawbacks lead to difficulties the commercial application of naringin, they can be overcome through esterification. In this study, naringin oleate was synthesized by enzymatic esterification optimal conditions for reaction were investigated. Experiments conducted focusing on following parameters:...
Electrochemical nano-biosensor systems are popular in the industrial field, along with evaluations of medical, agricultural, environmental and sports analysis, because they can simultaneously perform qualitative quantitative analyses high sensitivity. However, real-time detection using an electrochemical is greatly affected by surrounding environment performance electron transport materials. Therefore, many researchers trying to find good factors for detection. In this work, it was found...
Puerarin is a flavonoid known as natural antioxidant found in the root of Pueraria robata. Its antioxidant, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory effects have attracted attention potential functional ingredient various bioindustries. However, puerarin has limited bioavailability owing to its low lipid solubility stability. Acylation proposed synthesis method overcome this limitation. In study, lipase-catalyzed acylation acyl donors was performed, enzymatic synthetic condition optimized. Under...
Alginate, a promising biopolymer in the food, biomedical, pharmaceutical, and electronic materials industries, is characterized by its biodegradability, biocompatibility, low toxicity, gel-forming properties. It most abundantly found brown algae. However, conventional dilute acid alkali extraction methods face limitations commercialization due to their long processing time, throughput, high solvent requirements. In this study, microwave-assisted (MAE) process for sodium alginate was designed...
Plants of the genus Atraphaxis have been widely used as traditional herbal medicines and are just beginning to be recognized for their pharmacological activities by scientific validation. In particular, virgata (Regel) Krasn. has not reported even fundamental data, such antioxidant activity phytochemical properties, which requires investigation its medical application. this study, compounds A. extracts were identified using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) gas...
