Identification of natural products against <i>C. jejuni</i> that inhibit early-stage host-pathogen interactions is a promising strategy, particularly by blocking bacterial adhesion to and invasion into the host cells. This should help to reduce the bacterial load in vector animals. From the seeds of <i>Trigonella foenum-graecum</i>, an aqueous extract (fenugreek high molecular fraction) of high-molecular compounds (polysaccharides, proteins) was obtained. The polysaccharide was characterized as galactomannan (1,4-mannose backbone, substituted at <i>O</i>-6 with single galactose residues and galactose oligosaccharide chains). The protein part consisted of 50 kDa vicilin as the main compound. The fenugreek high molecular fraction did not influence proliferation of <i>C. jejuni</i> and viability of Caco-2 cells (1 - 1000 µg/mL). The fenugreek high molecular fraction reduced bacterial adhesion to Caco-2 significantly (500 - 1000 µg/mL), which was due to an interaction with the bacterial adhesin JlpA, preventing the interaction of this outer membrane protein to its ligand HSP90<i>α</i> (IC<sub>50</sub> = 23.4 µg/mL). Bacterial invasion was reduced significantly. Both polysaccharides as well as vicilin contribute to the observed antiadhesive effect. As vicilin-like proteins are widely found in plants from the Fabaceae family, a vicilin-enriched protein preparation from <i>Pisum sativum</i> was investigated for antiadhesive activity.

The costs associated with treating and caring for patients with renal diseases are considerable. Current therapies rely on synthetic drugs that often come with side effects. However, phytoestrogens, natural compounds, are emerging as promising renal protective agents. They offer a relatively safe, effective, and cost-efficient alternative to existing therapies. Phytoestrogens, being structurally similar to 17-<i>β</i>-estradiol, bind to estrogen receptors and produce both beneficial and, in some cases, harmful health effects. The activation of sirtuins has shown promise in mitigating fibrosis and inflammation in renal tissues. Specifically, SIRT1, which is a crucial regulator of metabolic activities, plays a role in protecting against nephrotoxicity, reducing albuminuria, safeguarding podocytes, and lowering reactive oxygen species in diabetic glomerular injury. Numerous studies have highlighted the ability of phytoestrogens to activate sirtuins, strengthen antioxidant defense, and promote mitochondrial biogenesis, playing a vital role in renal protection during kidney injury. These findings support further investigation into the potential role of phytoestrogens in renal protection. This manuscript reviews the potential of phytoestrogens such as resveratrol, genistein, coumestrol, daidzein, and formononetin in regulating sirtuin activity, particularly SIRT1, and thereby providing renal protection.
