In this study, an extracellular polysaccharide was isolated from the deep-sea fungus Beauveria bassiana T2-2 by ultrasonic-assisted hot water extraction followed by Sephadex LH-20 chromatography, yielding a fraction designated BPS-2. Physicochemical characterization revealed that BPS-2 is a glucose-rich polysaccharide (>90% molar ratio) with a weight-average molecular weight of approximately 3.62 kDa and moderate levels of uronic acid (2.84%) and sulfate (3.15%). In vitro enzyme assays demonstrated that BPS-2 inhibited α-amylase and α-glucosidase in a concentration-dependent manner, with an IC<sub>50</sub> value of 1.3 × 10<sup>-4</sup> M for α-glucosidase. Within the tested range, its inhibitory activity was stronger than that of Astragalus polysaccharide (APS) but weaker than that of acarbose. In a palmitic acid-induced insulin-resistant HepG2 model, BPS-2 significantly enhanced glucose consumption and increased 2-Deoxy-2-[(7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazol-4-yl) amino]-D-glucose (2-NBDG) uptake by 44.9% at 0.75 mg/mL without detectable cytotoxicity, suggesting a potential role in improving cellular glucose utilization under insulin-resistant conditions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report describing hypoglycemic-related activity of extracellular polysaccharides derived from deep-sea B. bassiana. These findings provide initial evidence linking the structural features of BPS-2 to glucose metabolism-associated bioactivity, while further studies are required to clarify detailed structural characteristics and underlying molecular mechanisms.</p>","PeriodicalId":9878,"journal":{"name":"Chemistry & Biodiversity","volume":"23 5","pages":"e03649"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147834252","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This systematic review evaluates the therapeutic potential of Ginkgo biloba (GB), particularly the standardized extract EGb 761, in TBI management. A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science up to February 2026. Sixty-five studies met the inclusion criteria, including 42 in vivo experimental studies and 23 clinical trials examining neuroprotective, cognitive, behavioral, or functional outcomes following GB administration. Preclinical evidence consistently demonstrates that Ginkgo biloba (GB) exerts neuroprotective effects through attenuation of oxidative stress, as evidenced by increased superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities, alongside reduced malondialdehyde (MDA) levels. These effects are accompanied by modulation of the Slc7a11-Eif4ebp1 signaling axis, suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α, and regulation of key molecular pathways. Specifically, GB inhibits JAK/STAT and TXNIP/NLRP3 signaling while activating PI3K/AKT-associated pathways and autophagy. Clinical studies indicate potential improvements in cognitive and functional outcomes. However, adverse events, particularly bleeding, have been reported, especially when GB is co-administered with anticoagulants or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. This underscores the importance of careful patient monitoring. The current evidence supports the promising neuroprotective potential of GB in traumatic brain injury.
