Examples include CEA-Scan for detection of color-ectal cancer and ProstaScint for detection of prostate stly,technology advancement has made complete human MAb available,which are lessimmunogenic.JOURNAL OF PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES,VOL.96,NO.1,JANUARY20071 Correspondence to:Wei Wang(Telephone:(636)-247-2111;Fax:(636)-247-5030;E-mail:wei.2.wang@pfi)Journal of Pharmaceutical

AL.JOURNAL OF PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES,VOL.96,NO.1,JANUARY 2007DOI 10.1002/jpsDevelopment of commercially viable antibody pharmaceuticals has,however,not been straight-forward.This is because the behavior of antibodies seems to vary,even though they have similar structures.In attempting to address some of the challenges in developing antibody therapeutics, Harris et al.5reviewed the commercial-scale formulation and characterization of therapeutic recombinant antibodies.In a different review, antibody production and purification have been discussed.2Nevertheless,the overall instability and stabilization of antibody drug candidates have not been carefully examined in the litera-ture.This article,not meant to be exhaustive, intends to review the structure and functions of antibodies,discuss their instabilities,and sum-marize the methods for stabilizing/formulating antibodies.ANTIBODY STRUCTUREAntibodies(immunoglobulins)are roughly Y-shaped molecules or combination of such molecules(Fig.1). Their structures are divided into two regions—the variable(V)region(top of the Y)defining antigen-binding properties and the constant(C)region (stem of the Y),interacting with effector cells and molecules.Immunoglobulins can be divided into five different classesÀIgA,IgD,IgE,IgM,and IgG based on their C regions,respectively desig-nated as a,d,e,m,and g(five main heavy-chain classes).6Most IgGs are monomers,but IgA and IgM are respectively,dimmers and pentamers linked by J chains.IgGs are the most abundant,widely used for therapeutic purposes,and their structures will be discussed as antibody examples in detail.Primary StructureThe structure of IgGs have been thoroughly reviewed.6The features of the primary structure of antibodies include heavy and light chains, glycosylation,disulfide bond,and heterogeneity. Heavy and Light ChainsIgGs contain two identical heavy(H,50kDa)and two identical light(L,25kDa)chains(Fig.1). Therefore,the total molecular weight is approxi-mately150kDa.There are several disulfide bonds linking the two heavy chains,linking the heavy and light chains,and residing inside the chains (also see next section).IgGs are further divided into several subclasses—IgG1,IgG2,IgG3,and IgG4(in order of relative abundance in human plasma),with different heavy chains,named g1, g2,g3,and g4,respectively.The structural differences among these subtypes are the number and location of interchain disulfide bonds and the length of the hinge region.The light chains consist of two types—lambda(l)and kappa(k). In mice,the average of k to l ratio is20:1,whereas it is2:1in humans.6The variable(V)regions of both chains cover approximately thefirst 110amino acids,forming the antigen-binding (Fab)regions,whereas the remaining sequences are constant(C)regions,forming Fc(fragment crystallizable)regions for effector recognition and binding.6The N-terminal sequences of both the heavy and light chains vary greatly between different antibodies.It was suggested that the conserved sequences in human IgG1antibodies Figure1.Linear(upper panel)and steric(lower panel)structures of immunoglobulins(IgG).ANTIBODY FORMULATION5DOI10.1002/jps JOURNAL OF PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES,VOL.96,NO.1,JANUARY2007are approximately95%and the remaining5% is variable and creates their antigen-binding specificity.5The V regions are further divided into three hypervariable sequences(HV1,HV2,and HV3)on both H and L chains.In the light chains,these are roughly from residues28to35,from49to59,and from92to103,respectively.6Other regions are the framework regions(FR1,FR2,FR3,and FR4).The HV regions are also called the complementarity determining regions(CDR1,CDR2,and CDR3). While the framework regions form the b-sheets, the HV sequences form three loops at the outer edge of the b barrel(also see Section2.2).Disulfide BondsMost IgGs have four interchain disulfide bonds—two connecting the two H chains at the hinge region and the other two connecting the two L chains to the H chains.6Exceptions do exist.Two disulfide bonds were found in IgG1and IgG4 linking the two heavy chain in the hinge region but four in IgG2.7In IgG1MAb,HC is linked to the LC between thefifth Cys(C217)of HC and C213on the LC.In IgG2and IgG4MAbs,it is the third Cys of HC(C123)linking to the LC.7A disulfide bond between HC C128and LC C214 was found for mouse catalytic monoclonal anti-bodies(IgG2a).8IgGs have four intrachain disulfide bonds, residing in each domain of the H and L chains, stabilizing these domains.The intrachain disul-fide bonds in V H and V L are required in functional antigen binding.9Native IgG MAbs should not have any free sulfhydryl groups.7However, detailed examination of the free sulfhydryl groups in recombinant MAbs(one IgG1,two IgG2,and one IgG4)suggests presence of a small portion of free sulfhydryl group(approximately0.02mol per mole of IgG2or IgG4MAb and0.03for IgG1.7In rare cases,a free cysteine is found.A nondisulfide-bonded Cys at residue105was found on the heavy chain of a mouse monoclonal antibody,OKT3 (IgG2a).10OligosaccharidesThere is one oligosaccharide chain in IgGs.6This N-linked biantennary sugar chain resides mostly on the conserved Asn297,which is buried between the C H2domains.5,11For example,the oligosaccharide resides on Asn-297of the C H2 domain of chimeric IgG1and IgG3molecules12but on Asn299in a monoclonal antibody,OKT3 (IgG2a).10The oligosaccharide,often microheter-ogeneous,is typically fucosylated in antibodies produced in CHO or myeloma cell lines5and may differ in other cell lines.2,11There are many factors that dictate the nature of the glycan microheterogenity on IgGs.These include cell line,the bioreactor conditions and the nature of the downstream processing.An additional oligo-saccharide can be found in rare cases.A human IgG produced by a human-human-mouse hetero-hybridoma contains an additional oligosaccharide on Asn75in the variable region of its heavy chain.13In addition,O-linked carbohydrates could also exist in this antibody.Proper glycosylation is critical for correct functioning of antibodies.11It was demonstrated that removal of the oligosaccharide in IgGs(IgG1 and IgG3)made them ineffective in binding to C1q, in binding to the human Fc g RI and activating C; and generally more sensitive to most proteases than their corresponding wild-type IgGs(one exception).12This is because the binding site on IgG for C1q,thefirst component of the complement cascade,is localized in the C H2domains.11 Furthermore,the glycosylation can affect the antibody conformation.12Oligosaccharides in other regions can also play a critical role.Removal of an oligosaccharide in a Fv region of the CBGA1antibody resulted in a decreased antigen-binding activity in several ELISA systems.13In addition,this oligosaccharide might play critical role in reducing the antigenicity of the protein.14The sugar composition of the oligosaccharide is also critical in antibody functions.It has been shown that a low fucose(Fuc)content in the complex-type oligosaccharide in a humanized chimeric IgG1is responsible for a50-fold higher antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity(ADCC) compared with a high Fuc counterpart.15 HeterogeneityPurified antibodies are heterogeneous in struc-ture.This is true for all monoclonal antibodies (MAbs)due to differences in glycosylation pat-terns,instability during production,and terminal processing.5For example,five charged isoforms were found in recombinant humanized monoclo-nal antibody HER2as found by capillary iso-electric focusing(cIEF)and sodium dodecyl sulfate–capillary gel electrophoresis(SDS–CGE).16Six separate bands were focused under6WANG ET AL.JOURNAL OF PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES,VOL.96,NO.1,JANUARY2007DOI10.1002/jpsIEF for two mouse monoclonal antibodies IgG2a (k)and IgG1(k).17A mature monoclonal antibody, OKT3(IgG2a),contain cyclized N-terminus (pyroglutamic acid,À17D)in both H and L chains, processed C-terminus(no Lys,À128D)of the H chains,and a small amount of deamidated form.10 Similar observation was also reported for a huma-nized IgG1(k).18In rare cases,gene cross-over may lead to formation of abnormal heavy chains.For example,a purified monoclonal anti-IgE antibody contains a small amount of a variant H chain, which had16fewer amino acid residues than the normal H chain(position is between Arg108of the L chain and Ala124of the H chain).19 Secondary and Higher-Order StructureThe basic secondary and higher-order structural features of IgGs have been reviewed.6Only a small portion of the three-dimensional structures of IgGs has been solved.20The antibody’s secon-day structure is formed as the polypeptide chains form anti-parallel b-sheets.The major type of secondary structure in IgGs is these b-sheets and its content is roughly70%as measured by FTIR.21The light chain consists of two and the heavy chain contains four domains,each about 110amino acid long.6,20All these domains have similar folded structures—b barrel,also called immunoglobulin fold,which is stabilized by a disulfide bond and hydrophobic interaction(pri-mary).These individual domains($12kDa in size)interact with one another(V H and V L;C H1 and C L;and between two C H3domains except the carbohydrate-containing C H2domain)and fold into three equal-sized spherical shape linked by a flexible hinge region.These three spheres form a Y shape(mostly)and/or a T shape.22The less globular shape of IgGs is maintained both by disulfide bonds and by strong noncovalent interactions between the two heavy chains and between each of the heavy-chain/light-chain pairs.23Through noncovalent interactions,a less stable domain becomes more stable,and thus,the whole molecule can be stabilized.24A detailed study indicates that the interaction between two CH3domains are dominated by six contact residues,five of these residues(T366,L368, F405,Y407,and K409)forming a patch at the center of the interface.25These noncovalent interactions are spatially oriented such that variable domain exchange(switching V H and V L; inside-out IgG;ioIgG)induces noncovalent multimerization.26The six hypervariable regions in CDR(L1,L2, L3,H1,H2,and H3)form loops of a few predictable main-chain conformations(or canonical forms), except H3loop,which has too many variations in conformation to be predicted accurately.27,28 There is a slight difference in the loop composition and shape between the two types of light chains.20 However,no functional difference was found in antibodies having l or k chain.6Basic Functions of AntibodiesThe basic functions of antibodies have been reviewed.6There are two functional areas in IgGs—the V and C regions.The V regions of the two heavy and light chains offer two identical antigen-binding sites.The binding of the two sites (bivalent)can be independent of each other and does not seem to depend on the C region.29The exact antigen-binding sites are the CDR regions with participation of the frame work regions.30 Binding of antigens seems through the induced-fit mechanism.31,32The induced-fit mechanism allows multispecificity and polyreactivity.It has been suggested that about5–10residues usually contribute significantly to the binding energy.32 The C regions of antibodies have three main effector functions(1)being recognized by receptors on immune effector cells,initiating antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicities(ADCC),(2)binding to complement,helping to recruit activated pha-gocytes,and(3)being transported to a variety of places,such as tears and milk.6In addition,C domains also modulate in vivo stability.23,29,33The function of Fc is affected by the structure of Fab. Variable domain exchange(switching V H and V L; inside-out IgG;ioIgG)affected Fc-associated func-tions such as serum half-life and binding to protein G and Fc g RI.26The hinge region providesflexibility in bivalent antigen binding and activation of Fc effector functions.26Two chimeric IgG3antibodies lacking a genetic hinge but with Cys residues in CH2 regions was found to be deficient in their inter-molecular assembly,and both IgG3D HþCys and IgG3D Hþ2Cys lost greatly their ability to bind Fc g RI and failed to bind C1q and activate the complement cascade.34Alternative Forms of AntibodiesIn addition to species-specific antibodies,other antibody forms are generated to meet various needs.In the early development of antibody therapies,antibodies were made from murineANTIBODY FORMULATION7DOI10.1002/jps JOURNAL OF PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES,VOL.96,NO.1,JANUARY2007sources.However,these antibodies easily elicit formation of human anti-mouse antibody (HAMA).Therefore,humanized chimeric antibo-dies were generated.Chimeric monoclonal anti-bodies(60–70%human)are made of mouse variable regions and human constant regions.2 Such antibodies can still induce formation of human anti-chimeric antibody(HACA).Highly humanized antibodies,CDR-grafted antibodies, are made by replacing only the human CDR with mouse CDR regions(90–95%human).2These antibodies are almost the same in immunogeni-city potential as completely human antibodies, which may illicit formation of human anti-human antibody(HAHA).Other alternative forms of antibodies have also been generated and these different forms have been reviewed.35Treatment with papain would cleave the N-terminal side of the disulfide bonds and generate two identical Fab fragments and one Fc fragment.Fab0s are50kDa(V HþC H1)/ (V LþC L)heterodimers linked by a single disul-fide bond.Treatment with pepsin cleaves the C-terminal side of the disulfide bonds and pro-duces a F(ab)02fragment.The remaining H chains were cut into several small fragments.6Cleavage by papain occurs at the C-terminal side of His-H22836or His-H227.37Reduction of F(ab0)2will produce two Fab0.23Fv fragments are noncovalent heterodimers of V H and V L.Stabilization of the fragment by a hydrophilicflexible peptide linker generates single-chain Fv(scFvs).2Fragments without constant domains can also be made into domain antibodies (dAbs).These scFvs are25–30kDa variable domain (V HþV L)dimers joined by polypeptide linkers of at least12residues.Shorter linkers(5–10residues)do not allow pairing of the variable domains but allow association with another scFv form a bivalent dimer (diabody)(about60kDa,or trimer:triabody about 90kDa).38Two diabodies can be further linked together to generate bispecific tandem diabody (tandab).39Disulfide-free scFv molecules are rela-tively stable and useful for intracellular applica-tions of antibodies—‘‘intrabodies.’’38The smallest of the antibody fragments is the minimal recognition unit(MRU)that can be derived from the peptide sequences of a single CDR.2ANTIBODY INSTABILITYAntibodies,like other proteins,are prone to a variety of physical and chemical degradation path-ways,although antibodies,on the average,seem to be more stable than other proteins.Antibody instabilities can be observed in liquid,frozen,and lyophilized states.The glycosylation state of an antibody can significantly affect its degradation rate.40In many cases,multiple degradation path-ways can occur at the same time and the degrada-tion mechanism may change depending on the stress conditions.41These degradation pathways are divided into two major categories—physical and chemical instabilities.This section will explore the possible degradation pathways of antibodies and their influencing factors.Physical InstabilityAntibodies can show physical instability via two major pathways—denaturation and aggregation. DenaturationAntibodies can denature under a variety of conditions.These conditions include temperature change,shear,and various processing steps. Compared with other proteins,antibodies seem to be more resistant to thermal stress.They may not melt completely until temperature is raised above708C,21,42,43while most other mesophilic proteins seem to melt below708C.44Shear may cause antibody denaturation.For example,the antigen-binding activity of a recombinant scFv antibody fragment was reduced with afirst-order rate constant of0.83/h in a buffer solution at a shear of approximately20,000/s.45Lyophilization can denature a protein to var-ious extents.An anti-idiotypic antibody(MMA 383)in a formulation containing mannitol,sac-charose,NaCl,and phosphate was found to loose its in vivo immunogenic properties(only10–20% of normal response rate)upon lyophilization.46 Since the protein showed no evidence of degrada-tion after lyophilization,no change in secondary structure by CD(29%b-sheet,14%a-helix,and 57%‘‘other’’),the loss of activity was attributed to the conformational change.Indeed,tryptophan fluorescence properties were different between the lyophilized and unlyophilized antibodies.46 AggregationAntibody aggregation is a more common manifes-tation of physical instability.The concentration-dependent antibody aggregation was considered the greatest challenge to developing protein formulations at higher concentrations.47This is8WANG ET AL.JOURNAL OF PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES,VOL.96,NO.1,JANUARY2007DOI10.1002/jps。

ScienceAdvances:在类风湿性关节炎中,肠道丁酸代谢物有助于自身抗体的产生

ScienceAdvances:在类风湿性关节炎中,肠道丁酸代谢物有助于自身抗体的产生类风湿关节炎(RA)是一种病因未明的慢性、以炎性滑膜炎为主的系统性疾病。
其特征是手、足小关节的多关节、对称性、侵袭性关节炎症,经常伴有关节外器官受累及血清类风湿因子阳性,可以导致关节畸形及功能丧失。
临床上,ACPAs(抗环瓜氨酸肽抗体)的存在表明软骨和骨骼严重受损的可能性增加,以及预后较差的强烈关节变形。
对疾病病理生理学的见解强调,各种炎症途径可导致RA中异常的全身免疫反应。
有人提出,失调的免疫反应的起源发生在具有环境重大贡献的遗传易感个体中。
在环境因素中,肠道微生物群已成为RA异常全身免疫反应的可能候选者。
来自Science Advances的名为Intestinal butyrate-metabolizing species contribute to autoantibodyproduction and bone erosion in rheumatoid arthritis的文章通过使用准配对队列策略,揭示了丁酸菌在RA发病机制中的关键作用,并表明基于丁酸菌的治疗在RA中具有潜力。
研究在比较25名未接受治疗的RA患者与29名年龄和性别匹配的健康个体时,发现两组在微生物多样性方面没有显着差异。
两组之间所有细菌物种的单方差比较没有发现任何显着偏离的物种。
研究表示处理这些高维数据集是非常困难的,因为众多的辅助因子是难以控制的。
在这项研究中,使用了一种新的准配对队列策略,该策略基于一个小型队列,有25个未接受治疗的患者和29个配对对照组。
简而言之,研究重建了一个准配对队列,其中具有相似物种特征但表型相反的样本是孪生的,然后通过配对样本的统计测试鉴定具有RA相关特征的物种。
因此,发现了186个与RA相关的物种,其中149个代表性过高,37个缺乏RA。
出乎意料的是,这些物种中有相当大比例,186个物种中的55个(29.6%)。

Moreover,several peptides derived fromfish skin gelatin have also shown potent antioxidant activities in different oxidative systems and proven to act as potent antioxidants[7,34].Tilapia(Oreochromis niloticus)is an important specie in fresh-water aquaculture.It is the third most widely culturedfish,after carp and salmonids[6].In the past years,the production of tilapia has increased steadily and has become one of the leading export-ing aquatic products.The increase of processing means that more skins and other wastes are produced.It has been reported that 70%of the dry matter offish skin is collagen.When heated above 40◦C,collagen is converted into gelatin[38].Therefore,the tilapia skin is a good resource for production of gelatin,which is expected to prepare nature protein hydrolysates with high ROS scavenging activities[21].Therefore,in this paper,the enzymatic condition of tilapia skin gelatin(TSG)was optimized by orthogonal experiment.The hydrolysates of TSG were chosen as a potential antioxidant pep-tide resource,and peptides with high hydroxyl radical scavenging activity were separated using gelfiltration chromatography,ion exchange chromatography,and RP-HPLC.Furthermore,the amino acid sequences of the antioxidant peptides were identified using nano-LC-ESI mass spectrometry,which were important,especially when a therapeutic effect was

known that various parameters,such as enzyme-to-substrate ratio (E /S ),hydrolysis temperature (T ),pH and hydrolysis time (t ),significantly affect the degree of hydrolysis (DH)of proteinbioactivitiesof hydrolysates.Orthogonal testwas drawnthe influence of different hydrolysis factors on DH of thehydrolysates of TSG.Theexperimental designand resultswere shown in Tables 1and 2.In view of orthogonal analysis,we adopt statistical software to calculate the values of a in Tables 1and 2,the range analysis tial extent of the four factors to DH for neutral were:D (t )>C (pH)>A (E /S )>B (T )and C (pH)>D (t )>A (E /S )>B (T ).So the maximum DH of TSG could be obtained when the hydrolysis conditions for properase E and multifect neutral were D 3C 2B 3A 3(4.5h,pH 9.0,E /S 5%and 55◦C)and C 3D 3A 3B 1(pH 8.0,E /S 5%and 35◦C),ing the optimal results,we the DH of two enzymatic processes were 18.01%and 12.60%(Table 3),respectively.The DH and hydroxyl radical scav-enging activity of hydrolysates of properase E was higher than that of multifect neutral.3.2.Double-enzyme hydrolysis and preparation of tilapia skingelatin hydrolysates (TSGH)The enzymatic conditions of TSG for properase E and multifectneutral were optimized by orthogonal experiment,and double-enzyme hydrolysis of TSG was further applied.As shown in Table 3,P 2had the highest DH and the hydroxyl radical scavenging ability hydrolysis.Previous studies showedinfluence the resulting hydrolysates,since DH length as well as the of products obtained [1,31].DH showed stronger antioxidant some previous studies that low fish protein hydrolysates made a dant activity [20,31].So P 2was gelatin hydrolysates (TSGH),and then ing equipment.3.3.Antioxidant activities of tilapia skin (TSGH)In order to evaluate the values on scavenging cal,superoxide anion radical and hydroxyl radical activities were determined,compared with reduced glutathione (GSH).DPPH is a relatively stable organic radical and is widely used as a substrate to evaluate the efficacy of antioxidants.DPPH •-scavenging activity of TSGH was evaluated and compared with GSH.As shown in Fig.1a,the DPPH-scavenging activity of TSGH increased with increasing concentration used.The IC 50values of TSGH and GSH were 3.66and 0.69mg mL −1,respectively.You et al.[36]reported the IC 50value of DPPH ·-scavenging activity of loach protein hydrolysate was 2.64mg mL −1.It was similar to our result.Superoxide anion radical cannot directly initiate lipid oxidation,but it is potential precursors of stronger reactive oxidative species such as hydroxyl radical,so it is significant to scavenge this rad-ical.Fig.1b showed superoxide anion radical-scavenging activity of TSGH as function of concentration used,and the IC 50values of TSGH and GSH were 0.56and 0.27mg mL −1,respectively.The hydroxyl radical scavenging activity of TSGH was shown in Fig.1c.00.01.02.03.04.05.0Concentration (mg.mL -1)S c a v e n g i n g e f f e c t o f D P P H

with the IC 50value being 0.74mg mL −1.This indicated that TSGH might contain peptides which are more easily accessible to the hydroxyl radicals and allows these peptides to trap the radicals more easily.Hydroxyl radical is the most reactive radical and can be formed from superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide in the presence of metal ions,such as copper or iron.The hydroxyl radical has

3c14had higher antioxidant activities than that of others at the same con-centration.The IC 50values of C 3c1and C 3c14were 6.98g mL −1and 8.71g mL −1(Table 4),respectively.Then C 3c1and C 3c14were further purified on the same semi-preparative C18column with a different linear gradient of acetonitrile (5–20%in 30min)containing 0.1%TFA (Fig.6).This step was repeated for several times and collecting the same peak.Finally,they were further purified in an RP-HPLC analytical column to confirm their purity and the chromatogram was shown in Fig.6.The two fractions with one single peak,named C 3c1-P and C 3c14-P ,were obtained and their IC 50values of hydroxyl radical scavenging activities were 4.61and 6.45g mL −1,respectively.3.5.Characterization of purified peptidesAntioxidant activity

(Fig.7).The molecular weights of the two peptides were 317.33Da and 645.21Da,and they were composed of three and five aminoacids with the sequencesrespectively.It wasreported thatantioxidantthe 20amino acid residues perlar weight,the higher their chance to exert biological effects [25].The size of two peptides was similarto the peptides isolated from horse mackerel,loach and sardinella(518.5,464.2Da and 263Da)[4,26,35],but smaller than the pep-tides,which isolated from the protein hydrolysates of alaska pollakconger eel (928Da)and hoki (1801Da)[15,23,32].been reported that hydrophobic amino acids have a signifi-on radical scavenging [22,24].For peptides,high contentamino acids could increase their antioxidant activ-ity.Similar result was also reported by Ranathunga et al.[23],which reported hydrophobic amino acid residues,like Leu,couldincrease the presence of the peptides at the water–lipid interface and access to scavenge free radicals generated at the the present study,C 3c1-P was found to havethe high activity with IC 50value of 4.61g mL −1,this Leu at C-terminal.Furthermore,the amino acid peptide might play an important role in its,and Gly-Leu and Gly-Pro sequence wereimportant role in [5,21].It to C 3c1-P had the Gly-Leu.3c14-P without hydrophobic amino had a high hydroxyl radicalscavenging activity.Apart from its agreement with the reportedantioxidant peptide size,this could be mainly explained by the existence of Tyr at C-terminal and N-terminal.Some peptides con-taining aromatic amino acid residues (Trp or Tyr)showed strongantioxidative effects [14,33].The antioxidant activity of Tyr may due to the special capability of phenolic groups to serve as hydrogen donors,which is one mechanism of inhibiting the radical-mediatedperoxidizing chain reaction [12,27].Guo et al.studied the pep-tides (Arg-Tyr,Lys-Tyr,Tyr-Tyr and Tyr-Asp-Tyr)containing Tyr residues of royal jelly protein had strong hydroxyl-radical andhydrogen-peroxide scavenging activity [9].It was similar to ourresults.Moreover,hydroxyl radical could be formed from super-oxide anion and hydrogen peroxide in the presence of transitionmetal ions,such as Fe 2+and inhibit the formation of the amino acid residues,like Glu sequence of C 3c14-P ,which had ions through their charged activity of metal ions [19,39].4.ConclusionsIn this study,the enzymatic conditions of properase E and mul-tifect neutral for tilapia skin gelatin (TSG)were optimized.The optimum hydrolysis conditions for properase E and multifect neu-tral were 4.5h,pH 9.0,E /S 5%,55◦C and pH8.0,4.5h,E /S 5%,35◦C,respectively.The hydrolystate obtain by progressive hydrolysis with multifect neutral at its optimum then properase E at its opti-mum had the highest DH and hydroxyl radical scavenging activity.Two antioxidant peptides (C 3c1-P and C 3c14-P )were purified using gel chromatography,ion exchange chromatography and phase HPLC,and their sequences were identified as (317.33Da)and Tyr-Gly-Asp-Glu-Tyr (645.21Da).They displayed high hydroxyl radical scavenging activity with IC 50value of 4.61and 6.45g mL −1.Based on these results,two peptides have the potential to be developed into new health foods.AcknowledgmentWe gratefully thank the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant No.31101392)for the financial support on

细胞抗氧化英语《Cellular Antioxidants: The Key to Fighting Oxidative Stress》Oxidative stress is a process that occurs in the body when there is an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants. Free radicals, which are highly reactive molecules, can cause damage to cells and tissues, leading to various health issues such as inflammation, aging, and chronic diseases. Antioxidants play a crucial role in combating oxidative stress by neutralizing free radicals and protecting the body from their harmful effects.Within the body, cells are constantly exposed to oxidative stress due to various factors such as pollution, UV radiation, and poor diet. As a result, cells rely on antioxidants to protect themselves and maintain proper functioning. Cellular antioxidants, which include enzymes like superoxide dismutase and catalase, as well as nutrients like vitamins C and E, are essential in preventing cellular damage caused by free radicals.One of the key functions of cellular antioxidants is to scavenge free radicals and prevent them from causing oxidative damage. When cells are exposed to oxidative stress, antioxidants work to neutralize free radicals and reduce their harmful effects. This not only protects the cells from damage but also helps to maintain proper cellular function and overall health.In addition to their scavenging properties, cellular antioxidants also play a role in repairing oxidative damage. When cells are damaged by free radicals, antioxidants can help to repair the damage and restore the cell to its normal state. This process is crucial for maintaining the integrity of cellular structures and preventing further damage.Furthermore, cellular antioxidants are involved in regulating the body's response to oxidative stress. This includes activating various cellular defense mechanisms and signaling pathways that help to mitigate the effects of oxidative stress. By doing so, antioxidants help to protect cells from oxidative damage and maintain their overall integrity.In conclusion, cellular antioxidants play a crucial role in fighting oxidative stress and protecting the body from the harmful effects of free radicals. By scavenging free radicals, repairing oxidative damage, and regulating cellular responses to oxidative stress, antioxidants are essential for maintaining cellular function and overall health. Therefore, it is important to consume a diet rich in antioxidants and to engage in healthy lifestyle practices that can help to support the body's natural antioxidant defenses.。

tDeoxybenzoins (DOBs)are one-pot synthetic precursors of isoflavones with feature analogous to those beneficial polyphenols such as resveratrol (stilbene)and phloretin (dihydrochalcone).In this study,sev-enteen polyphenolic DOBs were synthesized and evaluated by various antioxidant assays and tyrosinase inhibitory effect in vitro.Results displayed that these DOBs are powerful antioxidants;for example,2,3,4-trihydroxy-30,40-dimethoxydeoxybenzoin possesses an excellent anti-lipid peroxidation activity (IC 50=0.72±0.16l M),whilst 2,4,40,5-tetrahydroxydeoxybenzoin showed good DPPH radical scavenging activity (IC 50=0.69±0.04l M),which were better than Trolox and vitamin C.Besides exhibiting a weak metal chelating effect,these DOBs were effective in scavenging ABTS Å+and superoxide anion (O 2ÅÀ)rad-icals.DOBs also exhibited potent mushroom tyrosinase inhibitory activity;for example 2,3,40-trihydroxy-4-methoxydeoxybenzoin displayed stable and significant inhibitory effect on tyrosinase activity,with IC 50values 43.37,43.10and 46.10l M at incubation intervals of 0.5,1.5,and 2.5h,respectively.These results suggest that,with the advantage of being readily synthesizable small molecules,DOBs can be potentially developed into clinical and industrial antioxidants.Crown Copyright Ó2009Published by Elsevier Ltd.All rights reserved.1.IntroductionDeoxybenzoins (DOBs)are precursors for one-pot synthesis of isoflavones 1–3and can be recovered from the later by alkali hydrolysis.4These compounds closely related to angolensinoids (a -methyldeoxybenzoins),which are known to be reductive metabolites of isoflavones by intestinal microflora both in vitro and in vivo.5–9Structurally,DOBs can be described as the abridged dihydrochalcone (keto form)and a -hydroxystilbene (enol form)(Fig.1).Soy isoflavones and resveratrol (stilbene)are well known phy-toestrogens with antioxidant,cardiovascular protection,cancer chemopreventive and other properties.10,11Furthermore,dihydr-ochalcones,such as phloretin 12,13and synthetic 20,50-dihydroxydihydrochalcone,14and synthetic polyphenolic chal-cones 15have been demonstrated to be potential antioxidants and/or anti-inflammatory agents.Although DOBs have been reported to have various interesting pharmacological properties,they have long been neglected until recently.The 2,4,40-trihydroxydeoxy-benzoin (2),synthetic precursor of daidzein,has been reported asa phytoestrogen with more potent estrogenic receptor (ER)binding capability than daidzein,and was shown to be a selective ERb ago-nist.16Another notable compound,2,4,6-trihydroxy-40-methoxyde-oxybenzoin (15),was reported to be a potential agent for treating severe allergic and inflammatory disorders,as it exhibited potent inhibitory effects on tyrosine kinases SYK and BTK,IgE receptor/Fc e RI-mediated mast cell degranulation and leukotriene C 4release,and UVB-induced human keratinocyte prostaglandin E 2release.17Other related derivatives of DOBs have also recently been studied for anti-bacterial activities.18,19Antioxidant therapies have been increasingly recognized to be a potential strategy for preventing acute CNS injury,20cardiovascular diseases 21and asthma.22In addition,applications of antioxidants as preservative in food industry 23and skin-protective ingredients in cosmetics are also receiving increasing attention and interests.24DOBs are small molecules with great potential for development as antioxidants due to their structural analogousness to known natu-ral products with therapeutic benefits (Fig.1).In this study,17polyphenolic DOBs were synthesized and eval-uated for their antioxidant activities by various assays including anti-lipid peroxidation,metal chelating,reducing power,and free radical scavenging such as ABTS Å+,DPPH and superoxide anion.In addition,selected DOBs were also evaluated for mushroom anti-tyrosinase inhibitory activity since antioxidants with whitening ef-fect can be potentially used as cosmetic ingredients.0968-0896/$-see front matter Crown Copyright Ó2009Published by Elsevier Ltd.All rights

convenient and facile by following the methods of Wähäläand Hase 1and/or Balasubramanian et al.2,3as shown in Scheme 1.Seventeen including four newly synthesized (4–6and 13)poly-oxygenated DOBs were obtained and isolated in gram quantity (yields:43.4–92.4%)as depicted (Table 1).2.2.Biological assaysDOBs were evaluated for antioxidant activities including anti-li-pid peroxidation,25metal chelating,26reducing power,27and sev-eral free radical scavenging assays such as ABTS Å+,28DPPH Å,26and O 2ÅÀ.29These assays are commonly applied in the preliminary eval-uation of natural product antioxidants,food additives,and cos-metic ingredients.Based on their structural analogousness to resveratrol,which is an effective tyrosinase inhibitor,30selected DOBs were subjected to the mushroom tyrosinase inhibitory assay.2.2.1.Anti-lipid peroxidation activity of DOBsTable 2(column 2)showed the anti-lipid peroxidation activity of various DOBs.It was found that DOB 12possessed the most po-tent activity (IC 50=0.72±0.16l M),which was about five times more potent than Trolox (IC 50=3.68±0.64l M).This result ex-plains that the poly-hydroxylated ring A of DOB can be an active anti-lipid peroxidation skeleton.However,the substitution of ring B favored the more lipophilic 40-methoxylated,30,40-dimethoxylat-ed or unsubstituted phenyl,than the hydrophilic 40-hydroxy-phenyl.It is possible that the lipophilic ring B can enhance the contact of these antioxidants with lipid,and consequently result-ing in an efficient termination of the chain reaction.2.2.2.Metal ion chelating activity of DOBsAll DOBs tested showed a weak metal chelating effect (IC 50val-ues >1500l M),with the exception of DOB 10,of which the IC 50value was 1246.79±5.66l M (Table 2,column 6).This suggests that the anti-lipid peroxidation effects of these compounds were achieved via radical scavenging rather than the metal chelating property.2.2.3.Reducing power of DOBsResults showed that DOBs 5,7–11and 13possessed the great-est reducing power,especially DOB 13(IC 50=43.72±2.66l M)Table 1Substitution pattern of polyphenolic DOBs 1–17OR 1R 3R 2R 4R 5R 7R 62463'4'ABEntry Formula R 1R 2R 3R 4R 5R 6R 71C

al./Bioorg.Med.Chem.17(2009)4360–43664361which was about three times more potent than ascorbic acid (IC50=131.65±0.97l M,Table2column7).It is found that DOBs with ortho dihydroxyl ring A,except DOB4,exert an excellent fer-ric reducing power.It was also observed that DOBs with the same ring A displayed a better reducing activity when ring B was substi-tuted with C-40OH.2.2.4.ABTSÅ+radical scavenging activity of DOBsIt is surprising to note that all DOBs1–17(IC50ranging from 12.88±1.69l M to87.24±2.11l M)exhibited a more efficient ABTSÅ+radical scavenging than Trolox(IC50=116.3±0.72l M)(Ta-ble2,column3).DOB11with an IC50value of12.88±1.69l M was shown to be nearly10times more potent than the positive control. This result suggests that DOBs with C-40hydroxylated ring B such as DOBs2,11,and16,would exert a greater potency than those DOBs with the same substitution in ring A.It was shown that DOBs with polyphenol feature possessed promising ABTSÅ+radical scav-enging activity.Though ABTSÅ+was a suitable assay for both hydro-philic and lipophilic antioxidants,26the more hydrophilic(poly-hydroxylated)DOBs are likely to be better ABTSÅ+radical scaveng-ers.Since phenol is known to be an active functional group for free radical scavenging,suggesting that its property can be one of the main determinants in this activity.It is found that the existence of electron withdrawing ketyl of DOB leading to a more acidic C-4phenol than that of Trolox.The better free radical scavenging activity of DOBs can be attributed to the capability of ion-pairing that enhanced the contact of phenolic anion with ABTSÅ+.Though Trolox can be dissociated into a carboxylic anion(COOÀ),it was shown to be a lesser effective radical scavenger(Fig.2).2.2.5.DPPH radical scavenging activity of DOBsTable2(column4)showed the DPPH radical scavenging activity of DOBs.Besides DOB4,all other DOBs showed a more active DPPH radical scavenging than ascorbic acid(IC50=73.69±1.76l M). Generally,when the catechol,pyrogallol or phloroglucinol ring A of DOBs was substituted by a30,40-dimethoxylated ring B(i.e., DOBs5,12and17),they would exert a greater potency in DPPH radical scavenging power.Among the different DOBs tested,DOB 9exhibited the most potent DPPH radical scavenging activity (IC50=0.69±0.04l M),which was about13times more potent than Trolox(IC50=9.20±0.44l M).2.2.6.Superoxide radical scavenging activity of DOBsAs shown in Table2(column5),DOBs displayed a potent super-oxide anion radical scavenging activity.Based on the IC50values,Table3IC50values of

C.This result suggests that DOBs with a p-methoxylated ring B coupled with resorcinol,pyrogallol,or phloroglucinol ring A(DOBs1,10,and15)could be an effective superoxide anion rad-ical scavenger.However,the anionic expulsion effect of DOBs with O2ÅÀcan limit the radical scavenging power,which might contrib-ute to the contrasting results from that of the ABTSÅ+assay.2.2.7.Anti-tyrosinase activity of DOBsMushroom tyrosinase is the common inhibitory target for the evaluation of new whitening agents of cosmetics.Results revealed that most DOBs possessed a greater anti-tyrosinase activity than kojic acid(a commercial whitening ingredient)(Table3).DOBs1, 8,13and15showed a significant and immediate inhibition atfirst 30min of incubation,of which were found to have a meta-dihy-droxylated ring A with the exception of DOB13.This phenomenon is consistent with the demonstrated structural inhibition of resor-cinol-containing1,3-dihydroxyphenylpropionic acid deriva-tives.31–33In this study,the most active structure was DOB13, 2,3,40-tihydroxy-4-methoxydeoxybenzoin,which showed an al-most constant inhibitory effect on tyrosinase at all three incuba-tion intervals.Though40-hydroxylated ring B of DOB possesses a similar feature to that of the common enzyme substrate,that is, L-tyrosine,a similar inhibition manner was not observed in DOBs 2,11and16.It is therefore suggested that lipophilic C-4methoxyl of DOB13may play an important role in the inhibition of mush-room tyrosinase activity.3.ConclusionTaken together,the present study concludes that DOBs with feature analogous to isoflavone,dihydrochalcone and stilbene dis-played powerful antioxidant and anti-tyrosinase activities,sug-gesting that they possess potentials to be developed into clinical therapeutic antioxidants and as new ingredients of cosmetics.Fur-thermore,the fact that DOBs could be synthesized readily and eas-ily would be another advantage of these compounds in the antioxidant market.4.Experimental4.1.Synthesis of DOBsThe synthesis of DOBs with resorcinol(1–3),catechol(4–5),2,3-dimethylhydroquinone(6),2-methoxyhydroquinone(7),pyrogallol (10–12)or3-methoxycatechol(13)ring A(each0.01mole)was per-formed by condensing respective phenols with equivalent quanti-ties of various phenylacetic acids in BF3–Et2O at80–90°C under nitrogen conditioning for2–3h(Scheme1,method a).The reaction mixtures were poured into a large quantity of icy NaOAc solution, and then extracted by EtOAc according to Wähäläet al.1However, DOBs with1,2,4-trihydroxybenzene(8–9)and/or phloroglucinol (14–17)ring A were prepared according to the method as described by Balasubramanian et al.2,3with modification.These phenols (0.02mol each)and related phenylacetonitriles(0.01mol)together with ZnCl2(0.01mol)were pre-suspended in40mL of ethyl ether at 0°C,then saturated by HCl(gas,caution!)and stirred for2h.After stirring,the reaction mixtures were left to stand over night at ambi-ent temperature.The coagulated products(imines,not isolated) were hydrolyzed by refluxing in100mL MeOH–H2O(1:1;v/v)for 3–5h.DOBs(8–9and14–17)can be readily crystallized after cooling (Scheme1,method b).Seventeen polyphenolic DOBs(1–17)were obtained(Table1)after purifying with column chromatography and/or recrystallized to have satisfying yields(8–9and14–17scaled by respective phenylacetonitriles).4.2.General proceduresPhenylacetic acids,phenylacetonitriles,boron trifluoride ether-ate(BF3–Et2O)and related phenols were purchased from Tokyo Chemical Industry(Tokyo,Japan)or Lancaster Synthesis(More-cambe,England).Melting point(uncorrected)was determined by Electrothermal9100melting point apparatus(Electrothermal Engineering Ltd,Landon,UK).Mass spectra were recorded on a Bruker Ft Mass Spectrometer(Bruker Daltonics,Bremen,Ger-many).1H(400MHz)and13C(100MHz)NMR spectra were re-corded on a Varian Mercury-400spectrometer(Varian Inc.,Palo Alto,USA).Mushroom tyrosinase,20-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazo-line-6-sulfonic acid)(ABTS),1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH),nitro-blue tetrazolium(NBT),dihydronicotinamide ade-nine dinucleotide(NADH),ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA),Tween-20,ascorbic acid,kojic acid and Trolox were pur-chased from Sigma Chemical
