BACKGROUND In this study the potential of liposomes as a vitamin E (VE) and β‐carotene (βC) delivery system was examined. The co‐encapsulated liposomes of βC and VE (L‐VE‐βC) were prepared and characterized. Their antioxidant properties were evaluated by free radical scavenging activities of 2,2‐diphenyl‐1‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2′‐azino‐bis(3‐ethylbenzothiazoline‐6‐sulfonic acid (ABTS), hydroxyl radical and lipid peroxidation assay. The in vitro sustained release behaviour was then investigated and discussed. RESULTS VE and βC were co‐encapsulated in liposomes with high encapsulation efficiency, up to 92.49% and 86.16% for βC and VE, respectively. The antioxidant activities of L‐VE‐βC samples were significantly higher than that of single loaded liposome. Among different ratios of VE/βC, L‐VE‐βC at 5:3 exhibited the highest radical scavenging rates, with 66.80%, 56.58% and 34.39% for DPPH, ABTS and OH radical, respectively. L‐VE‐βC samples also had a good ability to inhibit lipid peroxidation, especially the sample with ratios of VE/βC at 5:3 and 3:1. In simulated gastrointestinal release, L‐VE‐βC exhibited an excellent sustained release behaviour in SGF with the accumulated rate at about 20%, while the release rate in SIF increased to over 80%, where they should be absorbed. The release kinetics analysis indicated that βC was released in the Higuchi model in stomach, and the Korsmeyr–Peppas model in intestine. CONCLUSION Compared to single loaded liposomes, the combined‐loaded liposomes exhibited higher antioxidant activity and bioavailability, suggesting the potential applications in functional foods. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Modulation of Membrane Microviscosity by Protein-Mediated Carotenoid Delivery as Revealed by Time-Resolved Fluorescence Anisotropy

Carotenoids are potent antioxidants with a wide range of biomedical applications. However, their delivery into human cells is challenging and relatively inefficient. While the use of natural water-soluble carotenoproteins capable to reversibly bind carotenoids and transfer them into membranes is promising, the quantitative estimation of the delivery remains unclear. In the present work, we studied echinenone (ECN) delivery by cyanobacterial carotenoprotein AnaCTDH (C-terminal domain homolog of the Orange Carotenoid Protein from Anabaena), into liposome membranes labelled with BODIPY fluorescent probe. We observed that addition of AnaCTDH-ECN to liposomes led to the significant changes in the fast-kinetic component of the fluorescence decay curve, pointing on the dipole-dipole interactions between the probe and ECN within the membrane. It may serve as an indirect evidence of ECN delivery into membrane. To study the delivery in detail, we carried out molecular dynamics modeling of the localization of ECN within the lipid bilayer and calculate its orientation factor. Next, we exploited FRET to assess concentration of ECN delivered by AnaCTDH. Finally, we used time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy to assess changes in microviscosity of liposomal membranes. Incorporation of liposomes with β-carotene increased membrane microviscosity while the effect of astaxanthin and its mono- and diester forms was less pronounced. At temperatures below 30 °C addition of AnaCTDH-ECN increased membrane microviscosity in a concentration-dependent manner, supporting the protein-mediated carotenoid delivery mechanism. Combining all data, we propose FRET-based analysis and assessment of membrane microviscosity as potent approaches to characterize the efficiency of carotenoids delivery into membranes.

Lutein, [(3R,3′R,6′R)-β,ε-carotene-3,3′-diol], is a C40 hydroxyl carotenoid. Its chemical structure is based on an unsaturated polyene chain skeleton, and there are one ε-ring and one β-ring on both sides of the skeleton, with a hydroxyl group on the 3′ site of each ring. Lutein is one of the important lipophilic isoprenes from mainly plants and algae. The wide range of sources makes the study of lutein quite comprehensive. The biosynthetic pathway and biochemical activities of lutein have been extensively studied and revealed. Lutein has been extensively studied for its important bioactivity, including for use in functional foods and medicines for brain health, eye-related diseases, skin health, and cancers. This review of lutein summarizes the major studies on bioactivity, metabolism, stability, digestive absorption, lutein delivery systems, and biotechnology.
