“…Flavonoids, which have been shown by various studies to be in the composition of OP, , have various biological roles, one of which is their antimicrobial effect . It is known that they present this effect with different mechanisms, , and rutin and hesperidin-neohesperidin, which are included in the extracted flavonoid content, have been shown to have effects such as membrane-disrupting and inhibition of biofilm formation, respectively . While studies generally focus on the antimicrobial effect of a specific component in the flavonoid composition, MIC values against different bacteria were shown as >1000 μg/mL for neohesperidin, ≤1000 μg/mL for hesperetin, and 500–1000 μg/mL for rutin .…”

Orange is one of the primary fruits processed into juice and other products worldwide, leading to a vast amount of waste accumulation. Such waste has been considered as an attractive candidate for upcycling to obtain bioactive components remaining. The present study investigated the extraction of essential oil (EO), flavonoids, and pectin from industrial orange waste with a holistic approach. To maximize EO yield and Dlimonene concentration, hydrodistillation (HD) conditions were selected to be 5.5 mL water/g solid for 180 min. Remaining solids were further used for flavonoid extraction where conventional solvent, sequential ultrasound + solvent, and ultrasound-assisted extraction (UE) were applied. UE applied for 50 min with 120 mL solvent/g solid yielded the highest total phenolic (TPCs) and total flavonoid contents (TFCs), antioxidant capacity, and hesperidin and neohesperidin concentrations. In terms of TPC, TFC, antioxidant capacity, and antibacterial activity, both EO and flavonoid fractions demonstrated moderate to high bioactivity. At the final step, ethanol precipitation was applied to obtain the pectin that was solubilized in hot water during HD and it was characterized by Fourier transform infrared, degree of esterification, and galacturonic acid content. Practical application: to ensure utilization in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries, this study presents a combined method to obtain several value-added compounds from industrial orange waste. Bioactive EO and flavonoids obtained could have applications in functional food, supplements, or cosmetic formulations, whereas extracted pectin can be used in many formulated foods and drugs.

“…The nitroblue-tetrazolium (NBT) assay was performed to evaluate the intracellular generation of the superoxide anion (O 2 − ) [48,49]. The NBT test is based on the production of blue-purple NBT formazan crystals, as a result of the reduction of yellow NBT chloride [2,2 -bis(4-nitrophenyl)-5,5 -diphenyl-3,3 -(3,3 -dimethoxy-4,4 diphenylene) ditetrazolium chloride] by O 2 − .…”

Cryopreserved semen is widely used in assisted reproductive techniques. Post-thawing spermatozoa endure oxidative stress due to the high levels of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, which are produced during the freezing/thawing process, and the depletion of antioxidants. To counteract this depletion, supplementation of sperm preparation medium with antioxidants has been widely applied. Melatonin is a hormone with diverse biological roles and a potent antioxidant, with an ameliorative effect on spermatozoa. In the present study, we assessed the effect of melatonin on thawed bovine spermatozoa during their handling. Cryopreserved bovine spermatozoa were thawed and incubated for 60 min in the presence or absence of 100 μΜ melatonin. Also, the effect of melatonin was assessed on spermatozoa further challenged by the addition of 100 μΜ hydrogen peroxide. Spermatozoa were evaluated in terms of kinematic parameters (CASA), viability (trypan blue staining) and antioxidant capacity (glutathione and NBT assay, determination of iNOS levels by Western blot analysis). In the presence of melatonin, spermatozoa presented better kinematic parameters, as the percentage of motile and rapid spermatozoa was higher in the melatonin group. They also presented higher viability and antioxidant status, as determined by the increased cellular glutathione levels and the decreased iNOS protein levels.

A series of new phenanthroline‐based metal complexes, coordination polymers are synthesized using 1,10‐phenanthroline 2,9‐dicarboxylate (PDA) and different metal salts including tin (R‐1 to R‐3), manganese (R‐4), ruthenium (R‐5), and zinc (R‐6) respectively. The inhibitory activities of synthesized coordination compounds are evaluated towards COX‐2 (cyclooxygenase‐2) and 5‐LOX (5‐lipoxygenase) enzymes. Among all the metal‐organic coordination complexes, Zn‐PDA (R‐6) shows most prominent inhibitory activity than other systems with the IC50 value of 0.0524 μg/mL and 0.834 μg/mL for both COX‐2 and 5‐LOX enzymes, respectively. The synthesized systems were also evaluated for their activity against COX‐1 and standard COX‐2 inhibitors viz. Rofecoxib and Aspirin. The rationale for R‐6 being the most potent metal complex for dual COX‐2 and 5‐LOX inhibition is demonstrated using docking studies.
