Longitudinal Relaxation Enhancement in 1H NMR Spectroscopy of Tissue Metabolites via Spectrally Selective Excitation

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is governed by longitudinal (T₁) relaxation. For protein and nucleic acid experiments in solutions, it is well established that apparent T₁ values can be enhanced by selective excitation of targeted resonances. The present study explores such longitudinal relaxation enhancement (LRE) effects for molecules residing in biological tissues. The longitudinal relaxation recovery of tissue resonances positioned both down‐ and upfield of the water peak were measured by spectrally selective excitation/refocusing pulses, and compared with conventional water‐suppressed, broadband‐excited counterparts at 9.4 T. Marked LRE effects with up to threefold reductions in apparent T₁ values were observed as expected for resonances in the 6–9 ppm region; remarkably, statistically significant LRE effects were also found for several non‐exchanging metabolite resonances in the 1–4 ppm region, encompassing 30–50 % decreases in apparent T₁ values. These LRE effects suggest a novel means of increasing the sensitivity of tissue‐oriented experiments, and open new vistas to investigate the nature of interactions among metabolites, water and macromolecules at a molecular level.     

Cryptic Chemical Communication: Secondary Metabolic Responses Revealed by Microbial Co‐culture

Microbial secondary metabolites (SMs) have long been viewed as a significant source of novel pharmaceutical and agrochemical molecules. With the increasing availability of genomic data, numerous biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) have been discovered. Despite the presence of tens of thousands of BGCs that can theoretically produce extremely diverse SMs, many gene clusters remain in a silent state under axenic culture conditions. Co‐culture is a promising research approach as it stimulates the expression of cryptic BGCs to produce novel metabolites and also mimics natural interspecies interactions in a laboratory environment. In recent years, the roles of SMs in microbial communication have caught the attention of researchers and our understanding of microbes and their production of remarkable SMs has improved. SMs may be extensively involved in a variety of communication events among microorganisms. We herein summarize certain representative findings in the field of chemical communication involving SMs in co‐culture systems.

Laccase-Nafion Based Biosensor for the Determination of Polyphenolic Secondary Metabolites

A laccase-based biosensor was developed by specific enzyme adsorption on screen-printed working electrodes of DROPSENS cells, and stabilized with Nafion 0.1% membrane. The electrode was characterized with respect to response time, sensitivity, linear range, detection limit, pH dependence, interferences, and long-term stability. The tested substrates were catechol, rosmarinic acid, caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, and gallic acid. The optimized biosensor proved the following characteristic performances: the apparent Michaelis Menten calculated considering rosmarinic acid substrate 8.3 × 10^?6 mol L^?1 (r = 0.995, n = 6); the dynamic range of biosensor response for rosmarinic acid 7 × 10^?7 ? 1.5 × 10^?6 mol L^?1; the detection limit for rosmarinic acid 1.19 × 10^?7 mol L^?1 (RSD = 1.08%, n = 3). It was noticed that the biosensor reaches systematically 90% to 94.3% from the response obtained by LC-DAD-ESI-MS for real samples.

SiO2 Xerogel: A Suitable Inert Support for Microbial Growth

A silica xerogel was prepared at pH 2 by the hydrolysis-condensation reactions of the sol-gel method. Silica xerogel was used as a support for the growth of two filamentous fungi: Aspergillus niger ATCC 9642 and Phanerochaete chrysosporium A594. In both cases, an apparent abundant mycelia growth (5.5 mg biomass/g dry xerogel and 4.7 mg biomass/g dry xerogel respectively) was observed. A phase of rapid consumption of glucose which lasted until 96 h of culture with sugar consumption rate of 0.075 mg sugar/g support h and 0.042 mg sugar/g support h respectively, was also observed. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed a superficial colonisation of both strains even in the occasional imperfections and crevices of the xerogel. This novel application of sol-gel metallic oxide systems suggests the potential use of an inert and versatile support which could be valuable, for example for solid state fermentation fundamental studies.

Structural Investigation of Betulinic Acid Plasma Metabolites by Tandem Mass Spectrometry

Betulinic acid (BA) has been extensively studied in recent years mainly for its antiproliferative and antitumor effect in various types of cancers. Limited data are available regarding the pharmacokinetic profile of BA, particularly its metabolic transformation in vivo. In this study, we present the screening and structural investigations by ESI Orbitrap MS in the negative ion mode and CID MS/MS of phase I and phase II metabolites detected in mouse plasma after the intraperitoneal administration of a nanoemulsion containing BA in SKH 1 female mice. Obtained results indicate that the main phase I metabolic reactions that BA undergoes are monohydroxylation, dihydroxylation, oxidation and hydrogenation, while phase II reactions involved sulfation, glucuronidation and methylation. The fragmentation pathway for BA and its plasma metabolites were elucidated by sequencing of the precursor ions by CID MS MS experiments.

Production of O Radicals from Cavitation Bubbles under Ultrasound

In the present review, the production of O radicals (oxygen atoms) in acoustic cavitation is focused. According to numerical simulations of chemical reactions inside a bubble using an ODE model which has been validated through studies of single-bubble sonochemistry, not only OH radicals but also appreciable amounts of O radicals are generated inside a heated bubble at the violent collapse by thermal dissociation of water vapor and oxygen molecules. The main oxidant created inside an air bubble is O radicals when the bubble temperature is above about 6500 K for a gaseous bubble. However, the concentration and lifetime of O radicals in the liquid water around the cavitation bubbles are unknown at present. Whether O radicals play some role in sonochemical reactions in the liquid phase, which are usually thought to be dominated by OH radicals and H2O2, should be studied in the future.

Plant Secondary Metabolites: An Opportunity for Circular Economy

Moving toward a more sustainable development, a pivotal role is played by circular economy and a smarter waste management. Industrial wastes from plants offer a wide spectrum of possibilities for their valorization, still being enriched in high added-value molecules, such as secondary metabolites (SMs). The current review provides an overview of the most common SM classes (chemical structures, classification, biological activities) present in different plant waste/by-products and their potential use in various fields. A bibliographic survey was carried out, taking into account 99 research articles (from 2006 to 2020), summarizing all the information about waste type, its plant source, industrial sector of provenience, contained SMs, reported bioactivities, and proposals for its valorization. This survey highlighted that a great deal of the current publications are focused on the exploitation of plant wastes in human healthcare and food (including cosmetic, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and food additives). However, as summarized in this review, plant SMs also possess an enormous potential for further uses. Accordingly, an increasing number of investigations on neglected plant matrices and their use in areas such as veterinary science or agriculture are expected, considering also the need to implement “greener” practices in the latter sector.
