A benzoic acid derivative and flavokawains from Piper species as schistosomiasis vector controls.

ABSTRACT: The search of alternative compounds to control tropical diseases such as schistosomiasis has pointed to secondary metabolites derived from natural sources. Piper species are candidates in strategies to control the transmission of schistosomiasis due to their production of molluscicidal compounds. A new benzoic acid derivative and three flavokawains from Piper diospyrifolium, P. cumanense and P. gaudichaudianum displayed significant activities against Biomphalaria glabrata snails. Additionally, "in silico" studies were performed using docking assays and Molecular Interaction Fields to evaluate the physical-chemical differences among the compounds in order to characterize the observed activities of the test compounds against Biomphalaria glabrata snails.

The fate of benzoic acid in various species.

Project description:1. The urinary excretion of orally administered [(14)C]benzoic acid in man and 20 other species of animal was examined. 2. At a dose of 50mg/kg, benzoic acid was excreted by the rodents (rat, mouse, guinea pig, golden hamster, steppe lemming and gerbil), the rabbit, the cat and the capuchin monkey almost entirely as hippuric acid (95-100% of 24h excretion). 3. In man at a dose of 1mg/kg and the rhesus monkey at 20mg/kg benzoic acid was excreted entirely as hippuric acid. 4. At 50mg/kg benzoic acid was excreted as hippuric acid to the extent of about 80% of the 24h excretion in the squirrel monkey, pig, dog, ferret, hedgehog and pigeon, the other 20% being found as benzoyl glucuronide and benzoic acid, the latter possibly arising by decomposition of the former. 5. On increasing the dose of benzoic acid to 200mg/kg in the ferret, the proportion of benzoyl glucuronide excreted increased and that of hippuric acid decreased. This did not occur in the rabbit, which excreted 200mg/kg almost entirely as hippuric acid. It appears that the hedgehog and ferret are like the dog in respect to their metabolism of benzoic acid. 6. The Indian fruit bat produced only traces of hippuric acid and possibly has a defect in the glycine conjugation of benzoic acid. The main metabolite in this animal (dose 50mg/kg) was benzoyl glucuronide. 7. The chicken, side-necked turtle and gecko converted benzoic acid mainly into ornithuric acid, but all three species also excreted smaller amounts of hippuric acid.

3-Amino-benzoic acid-4-nitro-benzoic acid (1/1).

Project description:In the title 1:1 adduct, C(7)H(5)NO(4)·C(7)H(7)NO(2), the nitro group of the 4-nitro benzoic acid is twisted from the attached ring by 4.40 (8)°. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are linked into ribbon-like structures along [150] and [10] via O-H⋯O, N-H⋯O, N-H⋯N and C-H⋯O inter-molecular hydrogen bonds.

Crystal structure of a new phen-yl(morpholino)methane-thione derivative: 4-[(morpholin-4-yl)carbothioyl]benzoic acid.

Project description:4-[(Morpholin-4-yl)carbothioyl]benzoic acid, C12H13NO3S, a novel phen-yl(morpholino)methane-thione derivative, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n. The morpholine ring adopts a chair conformation and the carb-oxy-lic acid group is bent out slightly from the benzene ring mean plane. The mol-ecular geometry of the carb-oxy-lic group is characterized by similar C-O bond lengths [1.266?(2) and 1.268?(2)?Å] as the carboxyl-ate H atom is disordered over two positions. This mol-ecular arrangement leads to the formation of dimers through strong and centrosymmetric low barrier O-H?O hydrogen bonds between the carb-oxy-lic groups. In addition to these inter-molecular inter-actions, the crystal packing consists of two different mol-ecular sheets with an angle between their mean planes of 64.4?(2)°. The cohesion between the different layers is ensured by C-H?S and C-H?O inter-actions.

2,6-Difluoro-benzoic acid.

Project description:In the title compound, C(7)H(4)F(2)O(2), the dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the carboxyl-ate group is 33.70?(14)°. In the crystal structure, inversion dimers linked by pairs of O-H?O hydro-gren bonds occur, generating R(2) (2)(8) loops. The dimers are linked into sheets lying parallel to (102) by C-H?F hydrogen bonds.

Project description:2,3-Difluoro-benzoic acid, C(7)H(4)F(2)O(2), forms dimers that are stabilized by hydrogen bonds. The dimers are stacked and the stacks are held together by weak C-H⋯F and C-H⋯O inter-actions.

2,4,6-Trifluoro-benzoic acid.

Project description:In the title compound, C(7)H(3)F(3)O(2), the C-C-C angles in the ring are greater than 120° for F-bonded C atoms [123.69 (13), 123.88 (12) and 123.66 (12)°]. In the crystal, inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between carboxyl groups give rise to the formation of a centrosymmetric dimer, while dispersive F⋯O contacts [2.8849 (16) Å] connect the dimers into infinite strands along the a axis.

Antithrombotic effect of SP-8008, a benzoic acid derivative, through the selective inhibition of shear stress-induced platelet aggregation.

Project description:Background and purposeBleeding is one of the most critical adverse effects of antithrombotic drugs, and many efforts have been made to discover novel antiplatelet agents without bleeding complications. Shear stress-induced platelet aggregation (SIPA), where the interaction of von Willebrand factor (vWF) and platelet glycoprotein (GP) Ib constitutes the initial step, is a promising target to overcome bleeding problems, as SIPA occurs only in pathological conditions. Here, we describe SP-8008, a novel modulator of vWF-GP Ib interactions and evaluated its antiplatelet/antithrombotic effects.Experimental approachNewly synthesized compounds were screened for antiplatelet effects in vitro, using human platelets exposed to high shear stress. Aggregation, intracellular calcium level, granule secretion, and integrin activation were assessed. Molecular modelling using virtual docking and flow cytometry were used to evaluate effects on vWF-GP Ib interactions. Antithrombotic effects in vivo were determined in rats, using arterial thrombosis and shear stress-specific thrombosis. Transection tail bleeding time was used to evaluate adverse effects.Key resultsSP-8008 was a potent inhibitor of SIPA, with IC50 of 1.44 ± 0.09 μM. SP-8008 effectively and broadly blocked shear stress-induced platelet activation events, without any significant toxicity. Importantly, SP-8008 was highly selective against SIPA, effectively interfering with vWF-GP Ib engagement. Most importantly, SP-8008 exerted significant antithrombotic effects in vivo in both shear stress-specific and arterial thrombosis, without prolonging bleeding time.Conclusions and implicationsOur results demonstrated that SP-8008 can be a novel selective antiplatelet agent with improved safety profile.

4-Benzene-sulfonamido-benzoic acid.

Project description:In the mol-ecule of the title sulfonamide compound, C(13)H(11)NO(4)S, the dihedral angle between the planes of the benzene ring and the carboxyl substituent group is 6.7?(4)°. The two aromatic rings are inclined at 45.36?(15)° to one another. In the crystal, adjacent mol-ecules are linked via classical inter-molecular N-H?O and O-H?O, and non-classical C-H?O hydrogen bonds, which stabilize the crystal structure.

4-(Methyl-amino)benzoic acid.

Project description:The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(8)H(9)NO(2), contains three crystallographically independent mol-ecules, which are essentially planar, the carboxyl O atoms deviating by 0.091?(3), 0.101?(2) and 0.164?(3)?Å from the mean plane through the non-H atoms. In the crystal, all three mol-ecules form O-H?O hydrogen-bonded about inversion centers, forming eight-membered rings with graph-set notation R(2) (2)(8). In addition, N-H?O hydrogen bonding and C-H?? inter-actions reinforce the packing.
