cDNA encoding an extracellular carbohydrate esterase (CcEst1) was cloned from the basidiomycete Coprinopsis cinerea. The recombinant CcEst1 expressed in Pichia pastoris acted on p-nitrophenyl acetate, alpha-naphthyl acetate, and methyl hydroxycinnamic acids, except for methyl sinapic acid. The enzyme released ferulic and acetic acids from wheat arabinoxylan and acetylated xylan respectively. Ac...

Objectives: In this study, we investigated the possible useful effectiveness of Sinapic acid on rat kidney and lung tissues in an experimental cecal ligation puncture (CLP) model. Methods: CLP model was created for rats group. 20 mg/kg given CLP-Sinapic At end experiment, were collected biochemical analyzes evaluated. Results: For tissue samples; antioxidant levels decreased, oxidant increased ...

The synthesis of five novel methyl 10-undecenoate-based lipoconjugates of phenolic acids from undecenoic acid was carried out. Undecenoic acid was methylated to methyl 10-undecenoate which was subjected to a thiol-ene reaction with cysteamine hydrochloride. Further amidation of the amine was carried out with different phenolic acids such as caffeic, ferulic, sinapic, coumaric and cinnamic acid....

Plant cell wall polysaccharides are partially cross-linked via phenolic compounds. As shown in the past, the most important phenolic compounds to cross-link plant cell-wall polysaccharides are ester-linked ferulic acid dimers, but p-coumarate dimers were also shown to be potential cross-linking compounds. Recently, ferulic acid dimers were identified and quantified in a range of cereal grains. ...

Sinapic acid biotransformation was studied and screened using eleven fungal cultures. Penicillium chermesinum AUMC 275, Aspergillus ochraceus 11328, Paecilomyces variotii 5618 showed positive results in the production of metabolites. resulted gallic after 10 days incubation with P. chermesinum, protocatechuic 7 A. ochraceus, ferulic 5 variotii. The investigated compounds' a

Hazelnuts were investigated for the presence of antioxidant compounds other than tocopherol. Hazelnuts from 2 regions were extracted with methanol:water (2:1 ; v/v). Extracts were subjected to either acid or alkaline hydrolysis but neither improved the separation quality during high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis. Nonhydrolyzed extracts of hazelnut had greater antioxidant activi...

The aim of this research was to investigate the antiproliferative and anticholinesterase activities of 11 extracts from 5 Annonaceae species in vitro. Antiproliferative activity was assessed using 10 human cancer cell lines. Thin-layer chromatography and a microplate assay were used to screen the extracts for acetylcholinesterase (AchE) inhibitors using Ellman's reagent. The chemical compositio...
