Adenosine Derivates as Antioxidant Agents: Synthesis, Characterization, in Vitro Activity, and Theoretical Insights.

ABSTRACT: In this work, we present results about the synthesis and the antioxidant properties of seven adenosine derivatives. Four of these compounds were synthesized by substituting the N6-position of adenosine with aliphatic amines, and three were obtained by modification of the ribose ring. All compounds were obtained in pure form using column chromatography, and their structures were elucidated by infrared spectroscopy (IR) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). All adenosine derivatives were further evaluated in vitro as free radical scavengers. Our results show that compounds 1c, 3, and 5 display a potent antioxidant effect compared with the reference compound ascorbic acid. In addition, the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) calculations show favorable pharmacokinetic parameters for the set of compounds analyzed, which guarantees their suitability as potential antioxidant drugs. Furthermore, theoretical analyses using Molecular Quantum Similarity and reactivity indices were performed in order to discriminate the different reactive sites involved in oxidative processes.

The antioxidant activity of natural diterpenes: theoretical insights.

Project description:Diterpenes that were isolated from Crossopetalum gaumeri (Loes.) Lundell (Celastraceae) plants are reported to exhibit a range of biological activities, in particular as radical scavengers. Thus further insight into the antioxidant activity of diterpenes in physiological environments is much needed but not studied yet. In this study, the antioxidant activity of nine natural diterpenes was evaluated using kinetic and thermodynamic calculations. It was found that the sequential proton loss electron transfer (SPLET) mechanism is favored in polar environments, whereas formal hydrogen transfer (FHT) is the main pathway for the radical scavenging of these diterpenes in the gas phase as well as in lipid media. The rate constants for the HOO˙ radical scavenging of these compounds in the gas phase, polar and nonpolar solvents are in the range of 2.29 × 10-2 to 4.58 × 107, 9.74 × 10-3 to 1.67 × 108 and 3.54 × 10-5 to 1.31 × 105 M-1 s-1, respectively. 7-Deoxynimbidiol (6), exhibits the highest HOO˙ radical scavenging with k overall = 1.69 × 108 M-1 s-1 and 9.10 × 104 M-1 s-1 in water and pentyl ethanoate solvents, respectively, that is about 1300 times higher than that of Trolox in polar environments. It is thus a promising natural antioxidant in physiological environments.

Antioxidant Activity of Natural Samwirin A: Theoretical and Experimental Insights.

Project description:Samwirin A (SW), a natural compound isolated from Sambucus williamsii or Rourea harmandiana, is known to exhibit potent antiosteoporosis activity and promote cell proliferation in rat osteoblast-like UMR 106 cells. Antiosteoporosis activity suggests that the compound must also exhibit antioxidant activity but this has not been studied thus far. In the present study, the antioxidant activity of SW was examined by experimental and computational studies. It was found that SW exhibits good hydroperoxyl scavenging activity, particularly in water at physiological pH (k overall = 1.01 × 107 M-1 s-1). The single-electron transfer mechanism defines the HOO• + SW reaction in water, while the activity in the lipid medium is moderate and it follows the formal hydrogen transfer mechanism. The rate constant of the HOO• scavenging reaction in the aqueous solution is about 78 times higher than the reference compound Trolox. The computational results are in line with experimental data underscoring that SW is a promising radical scavenger in aqueous media at physiological pH.

Synthesis and in vitro assay of hydroxyxanthones as antioxidant and anticancer agents.

Project description:In the present work, three hydroxyxanthones were synthesized in 11.15-33.42% yield from 2,6-dihydroxybenzoic acid as the starting material. The chemical structures of prepared hydroxyxanthones have been elucidated by using spectroscopic techniques. Afterward, the hydroxyxanthones were evaluated as antioxidant agents through radical scavenging assay; and anticancer agents through in vitro assays against WiDr, MCF-7, and HeLa cancer cell lines. Hydroxyxanthone 3b was categorized as a strong antioxidant agent (IC50 = 349 ± 68 µM), while the other compounds were categorized as moderate antioxidant agents (IC50 > 500 µM). On the other hand, hydroxyxanthone 3a exhibited the highest anticancer activity (IC50 = 184 ± 15 µM) and the highest selectivity (SI = 18.42) against MCF-7 cancer cells. From the molecular docking study, it was found that hydroxyxanthone 3a interacted with the active sites of Topoisomerase II protein through Hydrogen bonding with DG13 and π-π stacking interactions with DA12 and DC8. These findings revealed that hydroxyxanthones are potential candidates to be developed as antioxidant and anticancer agents in the future.

Synthesis and Structure-Activity Relationship of Daphnetin Derivatives as Potent Antioxidant Agents.

Project description:In this study, daphnetin 1 was chosen as the lead compound, and C-3 or C-4-substituted daphnetins were designed and synthesized to explore the potential relationship between the antioxidant activities and the chemical structures of daphnetin derivatives. The antioxidant activities of the generated compounds were evaluated utilizing the free radical scavenging effect on 2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl, 2,2'-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonate) cation, and the ferric reducing power assays, and were then compared with those of the standard antioxidant Trolox. The results showed that the catechol group was the key pharmacophore for the antioxidant activity of the daphnetins. The introduction of an electron-withdrawing hydrophilic group at the C-4 position of daphnetin enhanced the antioxidative capacity, but this trend was not observed for C-3 substitution. In addition, introduction of a a hydrophobic phenyl group exerted negative effects on the antioxidant activity in both the C-3 and C-4 substitutions. Among all of the derivatives tested, the most powerful antioxidant was 4-carboxymethyl daphnetin (compound 9), for which the strongest antioxidant activity was observed in all of the assays. In addition, compound 9 also displayed strong pharmaceutical properties in the form of metabolic stability. To summarize, compound 9 holds great potential to be developed as an antioxidant agent with excellent antioxidant activity and proper pharmacokinetic behavior.

Phenylpropanoid glycoside analogues: enzymatic synthesis, antioxidant activity and theoretical study of their free radical scavenger mechanism.

Project description:Phenylpropanoid glycosides (PPGs) are natural compounds present in several medicinal plants that have high antioxidant power and diverse biological activities. Because of their low content in plants (less than 5% w/w), several chemical synthetic routes to produce PPGs have been developed, but their synthesis is a time consuming process and the achieved yields are often low. In this study, an alternative and efficient two-step biosynthetic route to obtain natural PPG analogues is reported for the first time. Two galactosides were initially synthesized from vanillyl alcohol and homovanillyl alcohol by a transgalactosylation reaction catalyzed by Kluyveromyces lactis β-galactosidase in saturated lactose solutions with a 30%-35% yield. To synthesize PPGs, the galactoconjugates were esterified with saturated and unsaturated hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives using Candida antarctica Lipase B (CaL-B) as a biocatalyst with 40%-60% yields. The scavenging ability of the phenolic raw materials, intermediates and PPGs was evaluated by the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH•) method. It was found that the biosynthesized PPGs had higher scavenging abilities when compared to ascorbic acid, the reference compound, while their antioxidant activities were found similar to that of natural PPGs. Moreover, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were used to determine that the PPGs antioxidant mechanism proceeds through a sequential proton loss single electron transfer (SPLET). The enzymatic process reported in this study is an efficient and versatile route to obtain PPGs from different phenylpropanoid acids, sugars and phenolic alcohols.

Design, synthesis, characterization, and antioxidant activity studies of novel thienyl-pyrazoles.

Project description:In a sustained search for novel and effective antioxidants, a potential therapeutic leads against renal, and neurological disorders. Amongst the heterocycles, pyrazole and their derivatives have been extensively studied for their biological potencies, particularly to a larger extent for their antioxidant properties. Although many of pyrazole derivatives displayed antioxidant activities, still there is a need of developing efficient protocol for their synthesis, involving ecofriendly conditions, molecules of greater antioxidant efficacy and lesser toxicity, etc. In this context, the current study presents an amberlyst-15 catalysed efficient synthesis of 2-pyrazoline derivatives, 5(a-g) via (3 + 2) annulation of chalcones with phenylhydrazines. Structure proofs of new pyrazoles offered by spectral studies, and the molecular structure of compound 5d of the series by crystallographic studies, which revealed an intra molecular hydrogen bond interactions (C-H⋯N type), and stabilization by C-H...π and π---π molecular interactions. Of the series, compounds 5g and 5h show excellent DPPH (IC50 = 0.245 ± 0.01, and 0.284 ± 0.02 μM); and hydroxyl (IC50 = 0.905 ± 0.01, and 0.892 ± 0.01μM) radical scavenging activities comparable with respective controls, ascorbic acid (IC50 = 0.483 ± 0.01μM) and BHA (IC50 = 1.739 ± 0.01μM). The molecular docking and ADME/Tox studies indicate that, these compounds have good antioxidant activity through π-π stacking with Catalase via Try337 and Phe140, and therefore, might be lead antioxidants for further study.

Project description:Indole-3-acetamides (1-24) were synthesized via coupling of indole-3-acetic acid with various substituted anilines in the presence of coupling reagent 1,1-carbonyldiimidazole. The structures of synthetic molecules were elucidated through different spectroscopic techniques including electron ionization-mass spectroscopy (EI-MS), 1H-, 13C NMR, and high-resolution EI-MS (HREI-MS). These compounds were screened for their antihyperglycemic and antioxidant potentials. All compounds displayed good to moderate inhibition against α-amylase enzyme with IC50 values ranging between 1.09 ± 0.11 and 2.84 ± 0.1 μM compared to the standard acarbose (IC50 = 0.92 ± 0.4 μM). Compound 15 (IC50 = 1.09 ± 0.11 μM) was the most active compound of the series and exhibited good inhibition against α-amylase; in addition, this compound also exhibited good antioxidant potential with IC50 values of 0.35 ± 0.1 and 0.81 ± 0.25 μM in 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl-hydrate (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) assays, respectively. The binding interactions of synthetic molecules with the enzyme's active site were confirmed via in silico studies. The current study had identified a number of lead molecules as potential antihyperglycemic and antioxidant agents.

Theoretical Study on the Antioxidant Activity of Natural Depsidones.

Project description:Depsidones are secondary metabolites in lichens with a range of potential health benefits. Among others, these compounds are believed to exhibit high hydroxyl radical and superoxide scavenging abilities, warranting a detailed investigation of their antioxidant properties. In this study, the radical scavenging activity of natural depsidones from Ramalina lichenized fungi was investigated in silico. Calculations of the thermodynamic parameters suggested that the main radical scavenging pathway follows the formal hydrogen transfer (FHT) mechanism; however, unexpectedly low rate constants were found in the CH3OO• scavenging reaction. Establishing that the depsidones are mostly ionized in an aqueous environment suggested that the single-electron transfer (SET) mechanism should not be ruled out. Consistently, depsidones were revealed to be excellent HO• and O2 •- scavengers in aqueous solutions (k = 4.60 × 105 - 8.60 × 109 M-1 s-1 and k = 2.60 × 108 - 8.30 × 109 M-1 s-1, respectively) following the sequential proton loss electron transfer (SPLET) mechanism. These results suggest that natural fungal depsidones are potent hydroxyl and superoxide radical scavengers in aqueous solutions.

Synthesis, characterization, antioxidant, antileishmanial, anticancer, DNA and theoretical SARS-CoV-2 interaction studies of copper(II) carboxylate complexes.

Project description:Copper(II) carboxylate complexes [Cu2(OOCR)4L2] (1) and [Cu2(OOCR`)4OCO(R`)CuL2]n (2), where L = 2-methyl pyridine, R = 2-chlorophenyl acetate and R` = 2-fluorophenyl acetate were synthesized and characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray analysis. Complex 1 exhibits the typical paddlewheel array of a dinuclear copper(II) complex with carboxylate ligands. In complex 2, this scaffold is further extended into a polymeric arrangement based on alternate paddlewheel and square planar moieties with distinct coordination spheres. The complexes showed better 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities and have been found to be more potent antileishmanial agents than their corresponding free ligand acid species. UV-Vis absorption titrations revealed good DNA binding abilities {Kb = 9.8 × 104 M-1 (1) and 9.9 × 104 M-1 (2)} implying partial intercalation of the complexes into DNA base pairs along with groove binding. The complexes displayed in vitro cytotoxic activity against malignant glioma U-87 (MG U87) cell lines. Computational docking studies further support complex-DNA binding by intercalation. Molecular docking investigations revealed probable interactions of the complexes with spike protein, the nucleocapsid protein of SARS-CoV-2 and with the angiotensin converting enzyme of human cells.
