Application



  • Extraction of Bioactive Compounds: Choline chloride, combined with sucrose in natural deep eutectic solvents, facilitates the formation of aqueous biphasic systems. These systems are applied in drug extraction processes to improve efficiency and selectivity, particularly in pharmaceutical applications (Ghaffari et al., 2024).


  • Extraction of α-Glucosidase Inhibitors: Utilizing choline chloride-based deep eutectic solvents significantly enhances the selective extraction of α-glucosidase inhibitors from waste seeds. This application is particularly valuable in the development of therapeutic agents for diabetes management, showcasing its versatility in pharmaceutical extraction processes (Liu et al., 2024).

Maternal choline intake during gestation may influence placental function and fetal health outcomes. Specifically, we previously showed that supplemental choline reduced placental and maternal circulating concentrations of the anti-angiogenic factor, fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFLT1), in pregnant women as well as

The melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) is a G protein-coupled receptor involved in food intake and energy expenditure regulation. MC4R activation modifies neuronal activity but the molecular mechanisms by which this regulation occurs remain unclear. Here, we tested the hypothesis that

In eukaryotic cells, phospholipids are synthesized exclusively in the defined organelles specific for each phospholipid species. To explain the reason for this compartmental specificity in the case of phosphatidylcholine (PC) synthesis, we constructed and characterized a Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain that
