Three new 5-deoxyflavonoid and dihydroflavonoids 2, 3 and 4 have been isolated from the methanolic extract of Abutioln pakistanicum aerial parts, for which structures were elucidated explicitly by extensive MS- and NMR-experiments. In addition to these, 3,7,4′-trihydroxy-3′-methoxy flavonol (1) is reported for the first time from Abutioln pakistanicum. Compound 2 and 4 are p-coumaric acid esters while compounds 2–4 exhibited α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. Docking studies indicated that the ability of flavonoids 2, 3 and 4 to form multiple hydrogen bonds with catalytically important residues is decisive hence is responsible for the inhibition activity. The docking results signified the observed in-vitro activity quite well which is in accordance with previously obtained conclusion that phenol moiety and hydroxyl group are critical for the inhibition of α-glucosidase enzyme.

Changes in chemical iron profile occurring from pH 2 to 6.5 in a wheat-soy blend, a corn-soy-milk mix, and a soy-extended beef patty were investigated. Iron solubility in these products, as affected by in vitro digestion with pepsin, was dependent on a combination of ligand, iron source, pH and food. The greatest solubilizing capacity of the ligands added was provided by ascorbic acid at pH 2 and 4, and by citric acid at pH 6. Improvements in percent soluble iron were related to pepsin digestion and the presumed appearance of protein degradation products.

In this work, coaxial electrospraying was used for the first time to microencapsulate probiotic bacteria, specificallyLactobacillus plantarum, within edible protein particles with the aim of improving their resistance to in vitro digestion. The developed structures, based on an inner core of whey protein concentrate and an outer layer of gelatin, were obtained in the presence of acetic acid in the outer solution as a requirement for the electrospraying of gelatin. Despite the limited contact of the inner suspension and outer solution during electrospraying, the combination of the high voltage used during electrospraying with the presence of acetic acid was found to have a severe impact on the lactobacilli, not only decreasing initial viability but also negatively affecting the survival of the bacteria during storage and their resistance to different stress conditions, including simulated in vitro digestion.

Moringa extract was microencapsulated for the first time by spray-drying technique using tragacanth gum (MorTG) to improve its stability under gastrointestinal and storage conditions, assessing total polyphenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant activity. Additionally, cytotoxicity of the microencapsulated components was evaluated after contact with Caco-2 cells. Results showed that TPC was released as follows—oral (9.7%) < gastric (35.2%) < intestinal (57.6%). In addition, the antioxidant activity in in vitro digestion reached up to 16.76 ±0.15 mg GAE g−1, which was 300% higher than the initial value. Furthermore, microencapsulated moringa extract presented a half-life up to 45 days of storage, where the noticeably change was observed at 35 °C and 52.9% relative humidity. Finally, direct treatment with 0.125 mg mL−1 MorTG on Caco-2 cells showed a slight antiproliferative effect, with a cell viability of approx. 87%. Caco-2 cells’ viability demonstrated non-cytotoxicity, supporting the safety of the proposed formulation and potential use within the food field.

Roflumilast is an orally available inhibitor of phosphodiesterase (PDE) type 4, which is widely used in chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases. However, it has low solubility and adverse effects include diarrhea and nausea. Since its solubilization may improve treatment and, dismissing any adverse effects, its interaction with cyclodextrins (CDs) was studied. The Higuchi-Connors method was used to determine the complexation constant with different CDs, pH values and temperatures. Molecular docking was used to predict interaction between the complexes. An in vitro digestion experiment was carried out to test roflumilast protection. Finally, the photostability of the complex was evaluated. The complex formed with β-CD had the highest K11 value (646 ± 34 M−1), although this value decreased with increasing temperature. Similarly, K11 decreased as the pH increased. In vitro digestion showed that CDs protect the drug during digestion and even improve its bioaccessibility. Finally, CDs reduced the drug’s extreme photosensitivity, originating a fluorescence signal, which is described for first time. The kinetic parameters of the reaction were obtained. This study not only completes the complexation study of roflumilast-CD, but also points to the need to protect roflumilast from light, suggesting that tablets containing the drug might be reformulated.
