Chitosan-Thiobarbituric Acid: A Superadsorbent for Mercury.

ABSTRACT: In the present investigation, chitosan (CH) was supramolecularly cross-linked with thiobarbituric acid to form CT. CT was well characterized by UV, scanning electron microscopy-energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, Fourier transform infrared, NMR, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and X-ray diffraction analyses, and its adsorption potential for elemental mercury (Hg0), inorganic mercury (Hg2+), and methyl mercury (CH3Hg+) was investigated. Adsorption experiments were conducted to optimize the parameters for removal of the mercury species under study, and the data were analyzed using Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin adsorption isotherm models. CT was found to have high adsorption capacities of 1357.69, 2504.86, and 2475.38 mg/g for Hg0, Hg2+, and CH3Hg+, respectively. The adsorbent CT could be reused up to three cycles by eluting elemental mercury using 0.01 N thiourea, inorganic mercury using 0.01 N perchloric acid, and methyl mercury with 0.2 N NaCl.

Synthesis of Pyrazole-Thiobarbituric Acid Derivatives: Antimicrobial Activity and Docking Studies.

Project description:A one-pot reaction was described that results in various pyrazole-thiobarbituric acid derivatives as new pharmacophore agents. These new heterocycles were synthesized in high yields with a broad substrate scope under mild reaction conditions in water mediated by NHEt?. The molecular structures of the synthesized compounds were assigned based on different spectroscopic techniques. The new compounds were evaluated for their antibacterial and antifungal activity. Compounds 4h and 4l were the most active compounds against C. albicans with MIC = 4 µg/L. Compound 4c exhibited the best activity against S. aureus and E. faecalis with MIC = 16 µg/L. However, compounds 4l and 4o were the most active against B. subtilis with MIC = 16 µg/L. Molecular docking studies for the final compounds and standard drugs were performed using the OpenEye program.

Green Graphene-Chitosan Sorbent Materials for Mercury Water Remediation.

Project description:The development of new graphene-based nanocomposites able to provide synergistic effects for the adsorption of toxic heavy metals in realistic conditions (environment) is of higher demand for future applications. This work explores the preparation of a green nanocomposite based on the self-assembly of graphene oxide (GO) with chitosan (CH) for the remediation of Hg(II) in different water matrices, including ultrapure and natural waters (tap water, river water, and seawater). Starting at a concentration of 50 μg L-1, the results showed that GO-CH nanocomposite has an excellent adsorption capacity of Hg (II) using very small doses (10 mg L-1) in ultrapure water with a removal percentage (% R) of 97 % R after only two hours of contact time. In the case of tap water, the % R was 81.4% after four hours of contact time. In the case of river and seawater, the GO-CH nanocomposite showed a limited performance due the high complexity of the water matrices, leading to a residual removal of Hg(II). The obtained removal of Hg(II) at equilibrium in river and seawater for GO-CH was 13% R and 7% R, respectively. Our studies conducted with different mimicked sea waters revealed that the removal of mercury is not affected by the presence of NO3- and Na+ (>90% R of Hg(II)); however, in the presence of Cl-, the mercury removal was virtually nonexistent (1% R of Hg(II)), most likely because of the formation of very stable chloro-complexes of Hg(II) with less affinity towards GO-CH.

Characterization of thiobarbituric acid derivatives as inhibitors of hepatitis C virus NS5B polymerase.

Project description:In an effort to find chemicals inhibiting the enzymatic activity of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5B polymerase, a series of thiobarbituric acid derivatives were selected from a library provided by Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology and characterized. The selected compounds exhibited IC50 values ranging from 1.7 to 3.8 ?M, and EC50 values ranging from 12.3 to 20.7 ?M against NS5B polymerase of type 1b strain. They showed little effect against type 2a polymerase. One of the compounds, G05, was selected and further characterized. It inhibited the synthesis of RNA by recombinant HCV NS5B polymerase in a dose dependent manner. The CC50 value was 77 ?M. The inhibition was in a noncompetitive manner with the substrate UTP. The compound did not inhibit the elongation step of RNA synthesis in a single-cycle processive polymerization assay. It inhibited the binding of NS5B polymerase to the template RNA in a dose-dependent manner.

Two Tautomers of Thiobarbituric Acid in One Crystal: The Experimental Charge Density Perspective.

Project description:High-quality crystals of a certain polymorphic form of thiobarbituric acid containing both keto and enol tautomers in the asymmetric unit were obtained. High-resolution X-ray diffraction data up to sinθ/λ = 1.0 Å-1 were collected and subsequently successfully used for the refining of the multipolar model of electron density distribution. The use of a crystal containing both ketone and enol forms allowed a direct comparison of the topological analysis results and a closer look at the differences between these two forms. The similarities and differences between the deformation densities, electrostatic potentials, Laplacian maps and bond characteristics of the tautomers were analysed. Additionally, the spectrum of the intermolecular interactions was identified and studied from classical, relatively strong N-H···O and O-H···O hydrogen bonds through weaker N-H···S hydrogen bonds to weak interactions (for instance, C-H···O, C-H···S and N···O). The results of these studies point toward the importance of including both the geometrical features and the details of the electron density distribution in the analysis of such weak interactions.

New Diethyl Ammonium Salt of Thiobarbituric Acid Derivative: Synthesis, Molecular Structure Investigations and Docking Studies.

Project description:The synthesis of the new diethyl ammonium salt of diethylammonium(E)-5-(1,5-bis(4-fluorophenyl)-3-oxopent-4-en-1-yl)-1,3-diethyl-4,6-dioxo-2-thioxohexaydropyrimidin-5-ide 3 via a regioselective Michael addition of N,N-diethylthiobarbituric acid 1 to dienone 2 is described. In 3, the carboanion of the thiobarbituric moiety is stabilized by the strong intramolecular electron delocalization with the adjacent carbonyl groups and so the reaction proceeds without any cyclization. The molecular structure investigations of 3 were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction as well as DFT computations. The theoretically calculated (DFT/B3LYP) geometry agrees well with the crystallographic data. The effect of fluorine replacement by chlorine atoms on the molecular structure aspects were investigated using DFT methods. Calculated electronic spectra showed a bathochromic shift of the ?-?* transition when fluorine is replaced by chlorine. Charge decomposition analyses were performed to study possible interaction between the different fragments in the studied systems. Molecular docking simulations examining the inhibitory nature of the compound show an anti-diabetic activity with Pa (probability of activity) value of 0.229.

Photochemical synthesis and anticancer activity of barbituric acid, thiobarbituric acid, thiosemicarbazide, and isoniazid linked to 2-phenyl indole derivatives.

Project description:2-Phenyl-1H-indole-3-carbaldehyde-based barbituric acid, thiobarbituric acid, thiosemicarbazide, isoniazid, and malononitrile derivatives were synthesized under photochemical conditions. The antitumor activities of the synthesized compounds were evaluated on three different human cancer cell lines representing prostate cancer cell line DU145, Dwivedi (DWD) cancer cell lines, and breast cancer cell line MCF7. All the screened compounds possessed moderate anticancer activity, and out of all the screened compounds, 5-{1[2-(4-chloro-phenyl)2-oxo-ethyl]-2-phenyl-1H-indole-3-ylmethylene}-2-thioxo-dihydro-pyrimidine-4,6-dione (2b) and 5-{1[2-(4-methoxy-phenyl)2-oxo-ethyl]-2-phenyl-1H-indole-3-ylmethylene}-2-thioxo-dihydro-pyrimidine-4,6-dione (2d) exhibited marked antitumor activity against used cell lines. Additionally, barbituric acid derivatives were selective to inhibit cell line DWD and breast cancer cell lines.

The mechanism of the periodate-thiobarbituric acid reaction of sialic acids.

Project description:1. The chromogen formation from N-acetylneuraminic acid in the periodate-thiobarbituric acid reaction was investigated. Measurement of periodate consumption showed an uptake of approx. 3moles/mole of substrate in neutral as well as in strongly acidic solution. Therefore the chromogen beta-formylpyruvic acid is not a direct product of the periodate oxidation; it is presumed to be formed from the true oxidation product, a hexos-5-uluronic acid, by aldol splitting during the reaction in hot acidic solution with thiobarbituric acid. 2. Methyl (methyl beta-l-threo-hexos-4-enepyranosid)uronate, an analogue of the pre-chromogen, has been shown to yield with thiobarbituric acid in acidic solution a pigment exhibiting an identical absorption spectrum and showing the same behaviour on paper chromatography as the pigment obtained from N-acetylneuraminic acid in the periodate-thiobarbituric acid assay. 3. The substitution at C-2 of methoxyneuraminic acid does not inhibit the periodate-thiobarbituric acid reaction. In neutral solution methoxyneuraminic acid is oxidized by periodate to a substance that reacts readily with thiobarbituric acid in acidic solution. When periodate oxidation is attempted in acidic solution, protonation of the amino group protects this group against oxidation, rendering methoxyneuraminic acid negative in the assay systems of Warren (1959a,b) and Aminoff (1959, 1961).

Design and synthesis of novel thiobarbituric acid derivatives targeting both wild-type and BRAF-mutated melanoma cells.

Project description:A series of novel thio- and seleno-barbituric acid derivatives were synthesized by varying the substituents at N1 and N3 (ethyl, methyl, allyl, and phenyl), and C5 tethered with dienyl and trienyl moieties attached to substituents such as phenyl, 2-furanyl, 2-thiophenyl, 1-naphthyl, and 3-pyridyl. The cytotoxic potential of these derivatives was evaluated by using MTT assay against melanoma cell lines expressing either wild-type (CHL-1) or mutant (UACC 903) BRAF gene. Among all, 2b and 8b were identified as the most potent compounds. Both 2b and 8b inhibited viability of various melanoma cells and induced cell death as evidenced by Live and Dead assay. Western blot analysis showed that they induce PARP cleavage and inhibit anti-apoptotic Bcl-2, Bcl-xL and Survivin in a dose-dependent manner within 24 h of the treatment. Novel thiobarbituric acid analogs also inhibited viability of various other solid tumor cell lines, such as pancreatic, breast, and colon. Overall, 2b, 2d, and 8b emerged as the most effective compounds and make good leads for the development of future therapeutic agents.

Synthesis and characterisation of thiobarbituric acid enamine derivatives, and evaluation of their α-glucosidase inhibitory and anti-glycation activity.

Project description:A new series of thiobarbituric (thiopyrimidine trione) enamine derivatives and its analogues barbituric acid derivatives was synthesised, characterised, and screen for in vitro evaluation of α-glucosidase enzyme inhibition and anti-glycation activity. This series of compounds were found to inhibit α-glucosidase activity in a reversible mixed-type manner with IC50 between 264.07 ± 1.87 and 448.63 ± 2.46 µM. Molecular docking studies indicated that compounds of 3g, 3i, 3j, and 5 are located close to the active site of α-glucosidase, which may cover the active pocket, thereby inhibiting the binding of the substrate to the enzyme. Thiopyrimidine trione derivatives also inhibited the generation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), which cause long-term complications in diabetes. While, compounds 3a-k, 5, and 6 showed significant to moderate anti-glycation activity (IC50 = 31.5 ± 0.81 to 554.76 ± 9.1 µM).
