Abstract
This study evaluated the antioxidative effects of magnolol based on the mouse model induced by Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (E. coli, ETEC). All experimental mice were equally treated with ETEC suspensions (3.45×109 CFU/ml) after oral administration of magnolol for 7 days at the dose of 0, 100, 300 and 500 mg/kg Body Weight (BW), respectively. The oxidative metabolites and antioxidases for each sample (organism of mouse) were determined: Malondialdehyde (MDA), Nitric Oxide (NO), Glutathione (GSH), Myeloperoxidase (MPO), Catalase (CAT), Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), and Glutathione Peroxidase (GPx). In addition, we also determined the corresponding mRNA expressions of CAT, SOD and GPx as well as the Total Antioxidant Capacity (T-AOC). The experiment was completed with a theoretical study that predicts a series of 79 ChEMBL activities of magnolol with 47 proteins in 18 organisms using a Quantitative Structure- Activity Relationship (QSAR) classifier based on the Moving Averages (MAs) of Rcpi descriptors in three types of experimental conditions (biological activity with specific units, protein target and organisms). Six Machine Learning methods from Weka software were tested and the best QSAR classification model was provided by Random Forest with True Positive Rate (TPR) of 0.701 and Area under Receiver Operating Characteristic (AUROC) of 0.790 (test subset, 10-fold crossvalidation). The model is predicting if the new ChEMBL activities are greater or lower than the average values for the magnolol targets in different organisms.

From Biodiversity to Chemical Diversity: Focus of Flavonoids
Flavonoids are the largest group of polyphenols, plant secondary metabolites arising from the essential aromatic amino acid phenylalanine (or more rarely from tyrosine) via the phenylpropanoid pathway. The flavan nucleus is the basic 15-carbon skeleton of flavonoids (C6-C3-C6), which consists of two phenyl rings (A and B) and a heterocyclic ...read more
