产品描述

Equol is a non-steroidal estrogen produced from the metabolism of the isoflavonoid phytoestrogen daidzen by human intestinal microflora.1,2 The estrogen receptor (ER) agonist activity of the naturally occurring (S)-enantiomer (EC50 = 85 and 65 nM for human ERα and ERβ, respectively) is similar to that of genistein but exceeds that of daidzein.2 (S)-Equol preferentially binds ERβ (Ki = 0.73 nM) and demonstrates approximately 9-fold lower affinity for ERα (Ki = 6.41 nM).1 (S)-equol is also a potent antagonist of dihydrotestosterone, which has important implications for prostate cancer and other androgen-mediated pathologies.3

High Titer of ( S)-Equol Synthesis from Daidzein in Escherichia coli

ACS Synth Biol 2022 Dec 16;11(12):4043-4053.PMID:36282480DOI:10.1021/acssynbio.2c00378.

(S)-Equol is the terminal metabolite of daidzein and plays important roles in human health. However, due to anaerobic inefficiency, limited productivity in (S)-equol-producing strains often hinders (S)-Equol mass production. Here, a multi-enzyme cascade system was designed to generate a higher (S)-Equol titer. First, full reversibility of the (S)-Equol synthesis pathway was found and a blocking reverse conversion strategy was established. As biosynthetic genes are present in the microbial genome, an effective daidzein reductase was chosen using evolutionary principles. And our analyses showed that NADPH was crucial for the pathway. In response to this, a novel NADPH pool was redesigned after analyzing a cofactor metabolism model. By adjusting synthesis pathway genes at the right expression level, the entire synthesis pathway can take place smoothly. Thus, the cascade system was optimized by regulating the gene expression intensity. Finally, after optimizing fermentation conditions, a 5 L bioreactor was used to generate a high (S)-Equol production titer (3418.5 mg/L), with a conversion rate of approximately 85.9%. This study shows a feasible green process route for the production of (S)-Equol.

Utilization of Isoflavones in Soybeans for Women with Menopausal Syndrome: An Overview

Int J Mol Sci 2021 Mar 22;22(6):3212.PMID:33809928DOI:10.3390/ijms22063212.

Based on their nutrient composition, soybeans and related foods have been considered to be nutritious and healthy for humans. Particularly, the biological activity and subsequent benefits of soy products may be associated with the presence of isoflavone in soybeans. As an alternative treatment for menopause-related symptoms, isoflavone has gained much popularity for postmenopausal women who have concerns related to undergoing hormone replacement therapy. However, current research has still not reached a consensus on the effects of isoflavone on humans. This overview is a summary of the current literature about the processing of soybeans and isoflavone types (daidzein, genistein, and S-equol) and supplements and their extraction and analysis as well as information about the utilization of isoflavones in soybeans. The processes of preparation (cleaning, drying, crushing and dehulling) and extraction of soybeans are implemented to produce refined soy oil, soy lecithin, free fatty acids, glycerol and soybean meal. The remaining components consist of inorganic constituents (minerals) and the minor components of biologically interesting small molecules. Regarding the preventive effects on diseases or cancers, a higher intake of isoflavones is associated with a moderately lower risk of developing coronary heart disease. It may also reduce the risks of breast and colorectal cancer as well as the incidence of breast cancer recurrence. Consumption of isoflavones or soy foods is associated with reduced risks of endometrial and bladder cancer. Regarding the therapeutic effects on menopausal syndrome or other diseases, isoflavones have been found to alleviate vasomotor syndromes even after considering placebo effects, reduce bone loss in the spine and ameliorate hypertension and in vitro glycemic control. They may also alleviate depressive symptoms during pregnancy. On the other hand, isoflavones have not shown definitive effects regarding improving cognition and urogenital symptoms. Because of lacking standardization in the study designs, such as the ingredients and doses of isoflavones and the durations and outcomes of trials, it currently remains difficult to draw overall conclusions for all aspects of isoflavones. These limitations warrant further investigations of isoflavone use for women'S health.

An improved whole-cell biotransformation system for ( S)-equol production

Food Sci Nutr 2022 Mar 21;10(7):2318-2324.PMID:35844923DOI:10.1002/fsn3.2840.

(S)-Equol, the most active metabolite of the soybean isoflavones in vivo, has exhibited various biological activities and clinical benefits. Existing studies on the heterologous biosynthesis of (S)-Equol via the engineered E. coli constructed have been significantly progressed. In the present study, the engineered E. coli was further improved to be more suitable for (S)-Equol production. The four enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of (S)-Equol and another GDH for NADPH regeneration were combined to construct the recombinant E. coli BL21(DE3). The optimal conditions for (S)-Equol production were explored, respectively. The yield of equol reached 98.05% with 1 mM substrate daidzein and 4% (wt/vol) glucose. Even when the substrate concentration increased to 1.5 mM, (S)-Equol could maintain a high yield of 90.25%. Based on the 100 ml one-pot reaction system, (S)-Equol was produced with 223.6 mg/L in 1.5 h. The study presented a more suitable engineered E. coli for the production of (S)-Equol.

(S)-Equol Is More Effective than (R)-Equol in Inhibiting Osteoclast Formation and Enhancing Osteoclast Apoptosis, and Reduces Estrogen Deficiency-Induced Bone Loss in Mice

J Nutr 2022 Aug 9;152(8):1831-1842.PMID:35675296DOI:10.1093/jn/nxac130.

Background: Equol, a metabolite of daidzein, binds to the estrogen receptor with greater affinity than daidzein and exhibits various biological properties. It exists as an enantiomer, either (S)-Equol or (R)-equol. Objectives: We have previously shown that the inhibitory effect of (S)-Equol on bone fragility is stronger than that of racemic equol in ovariectomized (OVX) mice; however, the effect of (R)-equol has not been elucidated. The aim of this study was to compare the activities of equol enantiomers on bone metabolism in vitro and in vivo. Methods: Bone marrow cells (BMCs) and RAW 264.7 cells were treated with equol enantiomers. The number of osteoclasts and caspase-3/7 activity were measured. We examined the effect of equol enantiomers on osteoblast differentiation in MC3T3-E1 cells. In vivo, 8-wk-old female ddY mice were assigned to 4 groups: sham-operated (sham), OVX, OVX + 0.5 mg/d of (S)-Equol (S-eq), and OVX + 0.5 mg/d of (R)-equol (R-eq). Four weeks after the intervention, femoral bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoclastic gene expression were analyzed, along with concentrations of equol enantiomers in the serum and tissues. Results: (S)-Equol and (R)-equol inhibited osteoclast differentiation in BMCs (97% and 60%, P < 0.05) and RAW 264.7 cells (83% and 68%, P < 0.05). (S)-Equol promoted apoptosis of mature osteoclasts by inducing caspase-3/7 activity (29%, P < 0.05) and enhanced osteoblast differentiation (29%, P < 0.05). In OVX mice, BMD was ameliorated in (S)-equol-treated mice (11%, P < 0.05), but not in (R)-equol-treated mice. The concentrations of (S)-Equol were greater than those of (R)-equol in the serum, tibia, liver, and kidney (by 148%, 80%, 22%, and 139%, respectively). Conclusions: These results suggest that (S)-Equol is more effective than (R)-equol in inhibiting osteoclast formation and enhancing osteoclast apoptosis in vitro, supporting the beneficial effect of (S)-Equol to reduce estrogen deficiency-induced bone loss in OVX mice.

S-Equol Protects Chondrocytes against Sodium Nitroprusside-Caused Matrix Loss and Apoptosis through Activating PI3K/Akt Pathway

Int J Mol Sci 2021 Jun 30;22(13):7054.PMID:34209006DOI:10.3390/ijms22137054.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common chronic disease with increasing prevalence in societies with more aging populations, therefore, it is causing more concern. S-Equol, a kind of isoflavones, was reported to be bioavailable and beneficial to humans in many aspects, such as improving menopausal symptoms, osteoporosis and prevention of cardiovascular disease. This study investigated the effects of S-Equol on OA progress in which rat primary chondrocytes were treated with sodium nitroprusside (SNP) to mimic OA progress with or without the co-addition of S-Equol for the evaluation of S-Equol'S efficacy on OA. Results showed treatment of 0.8 mM SNP caused cell death, and increased oxidative stress (NO and H2O2), apoptosis, and proteoglycan loss. Furthermore, the expressions of MMPs of MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-9, and MMP-13 and p53 were increased. The addition of 30 μM S-Equol could lessen those caused by SNP. Moreover, S-Equol activates the PI3K/Akt pathway, which is an upstream regulation of p53 and NO production and is associated with apoptosis and matrix degradation. As a pretreatment of phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3K) inhibitor, all S-Equol protective functions against SNP decrease or disappear. In conclusion, through PI3K/Akt activation, S-Equol can protect chondrocytes against SNP-induced matrix degradation and apoptosis, which are commonly found in OA, suggesting S-Equol is a potential for OA prevention.
