We examine the applications of carbon derived from biomass as hosts, extending our exploration beyond lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries to include a broader range of alkali metal combinations with sulfur and selenium. We emphasize the rational design and strategic use of biomass-derived materials in addressing challenges such as polysulfide and polyselenide dissolution and slow redox kinetics.

Among them, compounds <strong>11b</strong> and <strong>12d</strong> (IC₅₀ = 2.72 or 3.66 µM, respectively) were showed better activity by cytotoxicity assay than the reference drug EVO (IC₅₀ = 19.65 µM). Furthermore, the results of flow cytometry analysis showed that compounds <strong>11b</strong> and <strong>12d</strong> promoted apoptosis in A549 cells, blocked the cell cycle to the G2/M stage and caused a burst of reactive oxygen species. Western blotting experiments revealed that compounds <strong>11b</strong> and <strong>12d</strong>, after 24 h of treatment in A549 cells, downregulate the expression of Keap1 while upregulating the expression of Nrf2, NQO1, and HO-1.

Therefore, in this study, we proposed UPLC-Q-TOF/MS combined with network pharmacology, molecular docking and in vitro experimental validation to explore the material basis and potential mechanism of the anti-inflammatory effect of GLF. Firstly, 43 compounds of GLF were identified by UPLC-Q-TOF/MS.

Then, molecular docking was used to validate the binding ability of core chemical constituents and core targets of GLF, and the results showed that the 6 core chemical constituents could bind well to 15 core targets, among which isoorientin had the lowest binding energy to AKT1 (−10.5 kcal mol⁻¹). Finally, the promising anti-inflammatory activity of the key component isoorientin was verified by the LPS-induced macrophage inflammation model in RAW264.7 mice.

Thus, the components of the three oak species were profiled using ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization and quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The analysis showed that phenolic acids, ellagitannins, ellagic acid, procyanidin, and flavonoid (quercetin, myricetin, kaempferol, isorhamnetin, and taxifolin) glycosides are the main phenolic compounds. Based on the fluorescence assay, they act as strong inhibitors of non-enzymatic advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) formation in the bovine serum albumin (BSA) and skin proteins (collagen and elastin). Furthermore, mass fragmentation analysis demonstrated that ellagitannin, procyanidin B1 and flavonoid glycosides effectively trapped methylglyoxal (MGO), a reactive carbonyl intermediate and an important precursor of AGEs, to generate mono-, di-, or tri-MGO.
