The in vitro anti-platelet activities of plant extracts from the Asteraceae family
Biomed Pharmacother. 2022 Mar 10;149:112809. doi: 10.1016/j.biopha.2022.112809. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFoods prepared from the Asteraceae family are known to exert in vitro antioxidant activity. For example, roots and fruit extracts from dandelion were found to possess antioxidant and anti-platelet potential in two in vitro models (washed blood platelets and whole blood). However, little is known of other extracts from the Asteraceae, such as chicory leaves, green lettuce leaves, red lettuce leaves, and Jerusalem artichoke roots, on the hemostatic system. Of all the tested extracts from the Asteraceae, dandelion roo...

Molecules, Vol. 27, Pages 1111: Unravelling the Helianthus tuberosus L. (Jerusalem Artichoke, Kiku-Imo) Tuber Proteome by Label-Free Quantitative Proteomics
al
Randeep Rakwal
The present research investigates the tuber proteome of the ‘medicinal’ plant Jerusalem artichoke (abbreviated as JA) (Helianthus tuberosus L.) using a high-throughput proteomics technique. Although JA has been historically known to the Native Americans, it was introduced to Europe in the late 19th century and later spread to Japan (referred to as ‘kiku-imo’) as a folk remedy for diabetes. Genboku Takahashi research group has been working on the cultivation and utilization of kiku-imo tuber as a traditional/alternative medicine in daily life an...

Biofuels from Inulin-rich Feedstocks: A Comprehensive Review
Bioresour Technol. 2021 Dec 30:126606. doi: 10.1016/j.biortech.2021.126606. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBiofuels are considered as a pre-eminent alternate to fossil fuels to meet the demand of future energy supply in a sustainable manner. Conventionally, they are produced from lignocellulosic raw materials. Saccharification of lignocellulosic raw materials for bioethanol production is a cumbersome process as compared to inulin-rich feedstocks. Various inulin-rich feedstocks, viz. jerusalem artichoke, chicory, dahlia, asparagus sp., etc. has also been exploited for the production of biofuels, viz. bioethanol, acetone, but...

Preparation and characterization of sulfated inulin-type fructans from Jerusalem artichoke tubers and their antitumor activity
In this study, a pure inulin-type fructan, denoted as Jerusalem artichoke polysaccharide (P-JAP), was purified from Jerusalem artichoke tubers and modified by sulfation via treatment with a sulfur trioxide-pyridine complex to produce its sulfated derivative (S-JAP). Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopic analysis confirmed the successful introduction of sulfate groups. The inhibitory effects of S-JAP on the proliferation of human liver hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells was evaluated via a CCK-8 assay, and the pro-apoptotic effects were assessed using annexin V-FITC/PI double staining. The inhibition rates of various...

Enhanced antitumor activity of inulin-capped Se nanoparticles synthesized using Jerusalem artichoke tubers
AbstractAn inulin polysaccharide with a molecular weight of ~ 2600 Da was derived from Jerusalem artichoke tubers and referred to as “JAP”. Previous studies have shown that inulin can improve glucose tolerance and the liver lipid profile; however, its antitumor activity remains to be examined in detail. Therefore, to investigate the possible improv ement of the antitumor activity of JAP, a novel nanostructured biomaterial was constructed by capping Se nanoparticles with JAP using sodium selenite, via a redox reaction with ascorbic acid, and referred to as “JAP-SeNPs”. Transmission electron microscopy revealed...
