As woody oilseed production increases annually, the number of byproducts generated during production and processing also increases. Underutilized byproducts not only waste resources but also increasingly harm the ecological environment. Woody oilseed processing byproducts contain active substances such as polyphenols, proteins, and fatty acids, with relatively high levels of polyphenols. Gallic acid, a polyphenolic compound, is present in many woody oilseed processing byproducts, with relatively high levels found in walnut shells, walnut husks, and oil-tea cattails. Gallic acid exhibits excellent antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties, but its low lipid solubility results in poor bioavailability.

[0059] (3) Determination of propyl gallate: The sample solution is injected into a high performance liquid chromatograph to obtain the response value of the corresponding chromatographic peak, and the purity of propyl gallate in the test solution is obtained according to the standard curve.

[0060] The results are shown in Table 1. Single-factor experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of different conditions on product purity. The experiment examined two factors: feed ratio and temperature. The results showed that at a feed ratio of 1:3 and a temperature of 110°C, purity reached 96.07%.

[0061] 2) DPPH radical scavenging ability of propyl gallate generated at different feed ratios and reaction temperatures: The DPPH radical scavenging assay was performed according to the kit instructions. The steps are as follows: First, weigh an appropriate amount of propyl gallate and dissolve it in the extract solution (provided with the kit). Then, dilute the propyl gallate with the extract solution to different concentrations (25, 50, 100, 200, 400, and 800 μmol / L) using a two-fold dilution method. DPPH was dissolved in 4.05 mL of anhydrous ethanol and stored in the dark until use. 10 μL of sample solution and 190 μL of DPPH / ethanol solution (provided with the kit) were added to a 96-well plate, vortexed to mix, and allowed to stand at room temperature in the dark for 30 minutes. The absorbance was measured at 515 nm, with three replicates per well. The scavenging rate was calculated as follows: DPPH radical scavenging rate (%) = [[A blank - (A test - A control)] ÷ A blank] × 100%.

[0062] The results are as follows Figure 1 (a) Figure 1 As shown in (b): In the concentration range of 25-800 μmol / L, when the feed ratio is 1:3, i.e. "10g gallic acid and 30g n-propanol" and the reaction temperature is 110℃, the gallic acid propyl ester generated by the reaction has a stronger ability to scavenge DPPH free radicals.

The operating steps are as follows: First, weigh an appropriate amount of propyl gallate and dissolve it in the extract (provided by the kit). Then, dilute the propyl gallate with the extract to different concentrations (6.25, 12.5, 25, 50, 100, 200, 400 μmol / L) using the two-fold dilution method. Take 10 μL of sample solution, 20 μL of reagent IV working solution (provided by the kit), and 170 μL of ABTS working solution (provided by the kit), add them to a 96-well plate, mix thoroughly, and stand at room temperature in the dark for 6 minutes. Measure the absorbance at 405 nm, and set up three groups of repeated experiments for each well. The same concentration of Vc was selected as the positive control standard for antioxidant capacity. The calculation formula for the scavenging rate is: ABTS scavenging capacity (mM) = -1.6195 × Asample + 1.3378.

[0064] Figure 1 (c) Figure 1(d) In the concentration range of 6.25-400 μmol / L, the propyl gallate produced when the feed ratio was 1:3, i.e., "10 g gallic acid and 30 g n-propanol" and the reaction temperature was 110°C, had a stronger ability to scavenge ABTS free radicals.

[0065] Experimental Example 7 The propyl gallate prepared in Example 1 was subjected to the following tests.

[0066] 1) Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis: Weigh 1 mg of gallic acid or its derivatives and grind them carefully with potassium bromide powder at a ratio of 1:100 to ensure that the gallic acid or its derivatives are completely dispersed in the potassium bromide. After mixing, press the mixture into a thin sheet and scan the sample on an infrared spectrometer at a wavelength range of 4000-400 cm -1 .

[0068] 2) Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy hydrogen spectrum analysis: Weigh 5 mg of gallic acid and its derivatives, add 0.5 mL of deuterated DMSO and ultrasonically dissolve them, then add them to a special NMR test tube. At a constant temperature of 25°C, the gallic acid and its derivatives were analyzed by NMR system. 1 H NMR ( 1 H NMR) analysis, and finally analyzed using MestReNova software.

[0069] The results are as follows Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 In (a), δ 12.22 (s, 1H), δ 9.18 (s, 2H), δ 8.83 (s, 1H), δ 6.93 (s, 2H); Figure 3 In (b), δ 9.24 (s, 2H), δ 8.92 (s, 1H), δ 6.93 (s, 2H), δ 4.10 (s, 2H), δ 1.65 (s, 2H), δ 0.93 (s, 3H). exist 1 In the H NMR spectrum, the chemical shift δ 10.5-13 ppm is the chemical signal of hydrogen on the carboxyl group. Comparison between gallic acid and its derivatives shows that the signal of the derivative at δ 12.48 ppm disappears, indicating that the hydrogen on the carboxyl group is replaced, showing a weak signal or no signal; δ 6.5-8 ppm is the electrochemical signal of the hydrogen of the phenolic hydroxyl group on the benzene ring; δ 8-9 ppm is the electrochemical signal of the hydrogen bond on the benzene ring, indicating that gallic acid has been successfully synthesized into propyl gallate.

[0070] 3) Thermal stability test analysis: Weigh (10 ± 1) mg of gallic acid and its derivatives and place them in the alumina crucible of the thermogravimetric analyzer. Open the gas line, set the nitrogen atmosphere and gas flow rate to 40 mL / min, set the heating rate to 15°C / min, and set the heating range from room temperature to 500°C.

[0071] The results are as follows Figure 4 Shown by: Figure 4As shown in (a), when the temperature rises from 50°C to 208.5°C, gallic acid experiences virtually no mass loss. The decomposition temperature, at which the mass loss of gallic acid reaches 10%, is 261.3°C. The decomposition rate reaches its maximum at 274.22°C, where the mass loss reaches 25%. The decomposition rate reaches its second peak at 346.2°C, where the mass loss reaches 61.2%. At 503.15°C, decomposition is essentially complete, with the weight loss complete and a residual content of approximately 23.16%.

[0072] Depend on Figure 4 As shown in (b), when the temperature rises from 50°C to 190.4°C, propyl gallate undergoes virtually no mass loss. The decomposition temperature, at which the mass loss of propyl gallate is 10%, is 257.7°C. The decomposition rate reaches its maximum at 303.6°C, and at this temperature, the mass loss of gallic acid reaches 50%. The decomposition rate reaches its second peak at 458.7°C, at which the mass loss of gallic acid reaches 81.2%. At 503.97°C, decomposition is essentially complete, with weight loss complete and a residual content of approximately 8.03%. This is consistent with the thermal stability of gallic acid. Before 292.1°C, the modified propyl gallate exhibits greater thermal stability than gallic acid, and above this temperature, gallic acid exhibits enhanced stability.

[0073] 4) Test on the DPPH free radical scavenging ability of gallic acid and its derivatives: The same method as 2) in Example 6 was used, except that the test object "propyl gallate" was changed to "gallic acid and its derivatives (propyl gallate)".

[0074] The results are as follows Figure 5 The results show that within the concentration range of 25-800 μmol / L, the scavenging effect of gallic acid and its derivatives on DPPH free radicals is directly proportional to their concentration, that is, as the concentration of gallic acid increases, its scavenging efficiency against DPPH free radicals also increases. The results show that gallic acid and its derivatives have scavenging activity against DPPH free radicals, and the derivatives have stronger scavenging ability against DPPH free radicals, that is, the derivatives have stronger antioxidant activity.

[0075] 5) ABTS scavenging ability test of gallic acid and its derivatives: The same method as 3) in Example 6 was used, except that the test object "propyl gallate" was changed to "gallic acid and its derivatives (propyl gallate)".

[0076] The results are as follows Figure 6The results show that within the concentration range of 6.25-400 μmol / L, the scavenging effect of gallic acid and its derivatives on ABTS free radicals is directly proportional to their concentration, i.e., as the concentration of gallic acid increases, its scavenging efficiency against ABTS free radicals also increases. The results indicate that gallic acid and its derivatives have scavenging activity against ABTS free radicals, and the derivatives have stronger scavenging ability against ABTS free radicals, indicating that the derivatives have stronger antioxidant activity.

[0077] 6) Establishment of H2O2 oxidative damage model in SH-SY5Y cells: (1) When the SH-SY5Y cells grow to about 85-95%, they can be plated. After accurate counting, the cells are plated at 5×10 5 The cells were evenly inoculated into a 96-well plate at a density of 100 μL per well, with 5 replicate wells per group. The plates were placed in a cell culture incubator (37°C, saturated humidity, 5% CO2) and cultured for 24 h.

[0078] (2) After the cells adhered to the wall, a blank control group and a H2O2 injury group (25, 50, 100, 200, 400 μmol / L) were set up. The blank group was cultured with DMEM, and the H2O2 injury group was cultured with DMEM containing H2O2 at the corresponding concentration. The cells were placed in an incubator (37°C, saturated humidity, 5% CO2) and cultured for 24 h.

[0079] (3) At the end of the incubation period, the plate was removed from the clean bench and 10 μL of CCK-8 working solution was added to each well. The plate was then placed back into the incubator (37°C, saturated humidity, 5% CO2) and incubated for 1.5 h. After the incubation period, the absorbance of each well was measured using a microplate reader at 450 nm.

[0080] The results are as follows Figure 7 As shown in the figure, cell viability was measured 24 hours after H2O2 treatment. Cell viability decreased with increasing H2O2 concentration, reaching approximately 50% at 200 μmol / L, meeting the modeling requirements. Therefore, a 200 μmol / L H2O2 concentration was used for subsequent modeling.

[0081] 7) Effects of Gallic Acid and Its Derivatives on SH-SY5Y Cell Viability: (1) When the SH-SY5Y cells grow to about 85-95%, they can be plated. After accurate counting, the cells are plated at 5×10 5 The cells were evenly inoculated into a 96-well plate at a density of 100 μL per well, with 5 replicate wells per group. The plates were placed in a cell culture incubator (37°C, saturated humidity, 5% CO2) and cultured for 24 h.

[0082] (2) After the cells adhered to the wall, a blank group, a gallic acid group, and a gallic acid derivative group (2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, 160, and 320 μmol / L) were set up. After treating the cells according to the different treatment groups, they were placed in the incubator (37°C, saturated humidity, 5% CO2) again and cultured for 24 h.

[0083] (3) At the end of the incubation period, the plate was removed from the clean bench and 10 μL of CCK-8 working solution was added to each well. The plate was then placed back into the incubator (37°C, saturated humidity, 5% CO2) and incubated for 1.5 h. After the incubation period, the absorbance of each well was measured using a microplate reader at 450 nm.

[0084] The results are as follows Figure 8 As shown in the results, compared with the blank control group, the cell viability of cells treated with gallic acid and gallic acid derivatives showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing with increasing concentration. Within the concentration range of 2.5-20 μmol / L, the cell survival rate showed an increasing trend with increasing concentration of gallic acid and its derivatives. Cell viability was maximum at 20 μmol / L, and cell viability decreased significantly when the concentration continued to increase. This is because low concentrations of gallic acid and its derivatives are beneficial to cell growth and proliferation, but when reaching a certain concentration, they show a certain inhibitory effect or toxicity. Therefore, gallic acid and its derivatives were subsequently selected at concentrations of 10, 20, and 40 μmol / L to act together with H2O2.

[0085] 8) Protective effects of gallic acid and its derivatives on H2O2-induced oxidative stress damage in SH-SY5Y neurons: (1) When the SH-SY5Y cells grow to about 85-95%, they can be plated. After accurate counting, the cells are plated at 5×10 5 The cells were evenly inoculated into a 96-well plate at a density of 100 μL per well, with 5 replicate wells per group. The plates were placed in a cell culture incubator (37°C, saturated humidity, 5% CO2) and cultured for 24 h.

[0086] (2) After the cells adhered to the wall, a blank group, a H2O2 model group, and a gallic acid intervention group / gallic acid derivative intervention group (10, 20, and 40 μmol / L) were set up. The blank group and the H2O2 injury group were replaced with an equal volume of DMEM, and the gallic acid intervention group was replaced with DMEM containing the corresponding concentration of gallic acid. The cells were placed in an incubator (37°C, saturated humidity, 5% CO2) for 1 hour before H2O2 was added to establish the model. The H2O2 injury group and the gallic acid intervention group were treated with 200 μmol / L H2O2. The blank group was added with an equal volume of DMEM and placed in an incubator (37°C, saturated humidity, 5% CO2) for another 24 hours.

[0087] (3) At the end of the incubation period, the plate was removed from the clean bench and 10 μL of CCK-8 working solution was added to each well. The plate was then placed back into the incubator (37°C, saturated humidity, 5% CO2) and incubated for 1.5 h. After the incubation period, the absorbance of each well was measured using a microplate reader at 450 nm.

[0088] The results are as follows Figure 9 As shown in the results, compared with the control group, the cell viability of the H2O2 model group decreased significantly. However, gallic acid and its derivatives, at three concentrations of 10, 20, and 40 μmol / L, were able to improve the survival rate of the oxidatively damaged cell model. Gallic acid and its derivatives showed the strongest protective effect against oxidative stress-damaged cells at a concentration of 40 μmol / L, increasing cell viability from 52.66% to 94.55% and 128.89%, respectively. These results indicate that gallic acid derivatives have a more protective effect against H2O2-induced oxidative damage in cells, indicating that they possess superior antioxidant properties.
