    Morus alba L. is used for a range of therapeutic purposes in Asian traditional medicine, and its extracts are reported to be effective against lipidemia, diabetes, and obesity, as well as being hepatoprotective and tyrosinase-inhibitory. They are also included in cosmetic products as anti-aging and skin-whitening agents. Stilbenes, the major bioactive compounds found in M. alba, have received renewed attention recently because of their putative activity against COVID-19. In this study M. alba plants were established in vitro, and the effect of elicitation on plant growth and stilbene accumulation, specifically oxyresveratrol and trans-resveratrol, was investigated. Different concentrations of the elicitors including methyl jasmonate and cyclodextrins were applied, and stilbene levels were determined in leaves, roots, and the culture medium. Elicitation of the M. alba plants with 5 mM cyclodextrins, alone or in combination with 10 µM methyl jasmonate, significantly increased the total phenolic content in the culture medium and leaves after 7 days of treatment. The higher total phenolic content in the roots of control plants and those treated only with methyl jasmonate indicated that cyclodextrins promoted metabolite release to the culture medium. Notably, the cyclodextrin-treated plants with the highest levels of oxy- and trans-resveratrol also had the highest total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity. These results indicate that elicited M. alba in vitro plants constitute a promising alternative source of bioactive stilbenes to supply pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical industries.

    Despite being saturated, a huge quantity of “novel” functional food products reaches the food market every day and companies are looking for new products to catch consumers’ attention. In the present study, the inclusion complexes of oxyresveratrol with α-, β- and γ-CD are characterized using DSC, TGA, SEM and molecular docking and their complexing capacities arecompared. As β-CD showed the best results, i) 0.2mM oxyresveratrol alone, ii) 0.2mM oxyresveratrol complexed with 8mM β-CD and iii) 4mM oxyresveratrol solubilized with 8mM β-CD were used to fortify, juice and milk food models, and kept in typical storage conditions (darkness and/or refrigerated) conditions for one month. The results showed that CD supplementation leads to a higher oxyresveratrol concentration and antioxidant capacity than when not used. Oxyresveratrol/β-CD food models were stable for five weeks. The most typical variables measured were compared. In vitro digestion pointed to similar bioaccessibility. The bacteriostatic effect was also studied and the greater effectiveness of oversaturated solutions was demostrated. These results should be useful for the food industry for designing hydrophilic products containing oxyresveratrol.

    The inclusion complex of oxyresveratrol in modified cyclodextrins: a thermodynamic, structural, physicochemical, fluorescent and computational study
    (Elsevier, 2017-04-06) Matencio Durán, Adrián; López Nicolás, José Manuel; García Carmona, Francisco; Bioquímica y Biología Molecular A; Facultad de Biología
    The interaction between oxyresveratrol (a type of stilbene with high biological activity) and modified cyclodextrins (CDs) was studied. Using HPLC-RP, was seen to form a 1:1 complex with all the CDs tested. The best CD in this respect was MβCD (KF = 606.65 ± 30.18 M−1), the complexation showing a strong dependence on pH and temperature: The complexation constant (KF) decreased as the pH and temperature increased. The thermodynamic parameters studied (ΔH°, ΔS° and ΔG°) showed negative entropy, enthalpy and Gibbs free energy change at 25 °C. In addition, fluorescence signal of oxyresveratrol increased when MβCD was added. The oxyresveratrol emission and excitation spectra were obtained for first time. A 1H NMR was carried out to study the structure of the complex and, DSC studied demonstrated the complexation. A computational study by molecular docking was made to complement the structural study.
