Summary: The sustainability of the wine chain in the southeast of Spain was evaluated using life cycle costing (LCC) and life cycle assessment (LCA) methodologies. A winery model was established based on data from representative companies in the area. LCC and LCA were applied to the production of wine bottles, and a sensitivity analysis was conducted to evaluate the impact of different vineyard types and glass bottle weights. The study found that the processes in the cellar phase were highly efficient, but minimizing the weight of the glass bottle is important to reduce environmental and production costs.

Summary: Plasma protein binding plays a crucial role in the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of therapeutic bioactive materials. In this study, the interaction of nordentatin, a member of coumarins, with human alpha-1 acid glycoprotein (AGP) was investigated, and the anticancer potency of nordentatin against human colorectal cancer cells was evaluated. The results showed that nordentatin binds to AGP through a static quenching mechanism and exhibits inhibitory effects on the growth of HCT-116 cells by increasing intracellular ROS and [Ca2+] levels and triggering apoptosis-related gene overexpression. Therefore, nordentatin could be a promising plant-based therapy for colorectal cancer.
