Synthesis and biological evaluations of oleanolic acid indole derivatives as hyaluronidase inhibitors with enhanced skin permeability.

ABSTRACT: Oleanolic acid (OA) is a natural cosmeceutical compound with various skin beneficial activities including inhibitory effect on hyaluronidase but the anti-hyaluronidase activity and mechanisms of action of its synthetic analogues remain unclear. Herein, a series of OA derivatives were synthesised and evaluated for their inhibitory effects on hyaluronidase. Compared to OA, an induction of fluorinated (6c) and chlorinated (6g) indole moieties led to enhanced anti-hyaluronidase activity (IC₅₀ = 80.3 vs. 9.97 and 9.57 µg/mL, respectively). Furthermore, spectroscopic and computational studies revealed that 6c and 6g can bind to hyaluronidase protein and alter its secondary structure leading to reduced enzyme activity. In addition, OA indole derivatives showed feasible skin permeability in a slightly acidic environment (pH = 6.5) and 6c exerted skin protective effect by reducing cellular reactive oxygen species in human skin keratinocytes. Findings from the current study support that OA indole derivatives are potential cosmeceuticals with anti-hyaluronidase activity.

Indole Derivatives as Cyclooxygenase Inhibitors: Synthesis, Biological Evaluation and Docking Studies.

Project description:A new series of 2-(5-methoxy-2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)-N?-[(E)-(substituted phenyl) methylidene] acetohydrazide derivatives (S1?S18) were synthesized and evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activity, analgesic activity, ulcerogenic activity, lipid peroxidation, ulcer index and cyclooxygenase expression activities. All the synthesized compounds were in good agreement with spectral and elemental analysis. Three synthesized compounds (S3, S7 and S14) have shown significant anti-inflammatory activity as compared to the reference drug indomethacin. Compound S3 was further tested for ulcerogenic index and cyclooxygenase (COX) expression activity. It was selectively inhibiting COX-2 expression and providing the gastric sparing activity. Docking studies have revealed the potential of these compounds to bind with COX-2 enzyme. Compound S3 formed a hydrogen bond between OH of Tyr 355 and NH? of Arg 120 with carbonyl group and this hydrogen bond was similar to that formed by indomethacin. This study provides insight for compound S3, as a new lead compound as anti-inflammatory agent and selective COX-2 inhibitor.

Synthesis and Biological Evaluations of Betulinic Acid Derivatives With Inhibitory Activity on Hyaluronidase and Anti-Inflammatory Effects Against Hyaluronic Acid Fragment Induced Inflammation.

Project description:We previously reported that the structural modifications of pentacyclic triterpenoids including oleanolic acid resulted in enhanced hyaluronidase inhibitory activity but whether this applies to other pentacyclic triterpenoids such as betulinic acid (BA) is unknown. Herein, we synthesized BA derivatives with an α,β-unsaturated ketene moiety and evaluated for their: 1) hyaluronidase inhibitory activity and, 2) anti-inflammatory effects against lipopolysaccharides (LPS) induced inflammation. Compared to BA, the BA derivatives exerted improved anti-hyaluronidase activity (26.3%-72.8% vs. 22.6%) and anti-inflammatory effects by reducing nitrite production in BV2 cells (3.9%-46.8% vs. 3.4%) and RAW264.7 cells (22.7%-49.2% vs. 20.4%). BA derivatives inhibited LPS-induced production of pro-inflammatory cytokines in THP-1 cells (15.2%-22.4%). BA derivatives also exerted promising anti-inflammatory effects against hyaluronic acid fragment induced nitrite production (8.6%-35.6%) in THP-1 cells. BA derivatives showed augmented anti-hyaluronidase and anti-inflammatory effects but further biological evaluations using in vivo models are warranted to confirm their efficacy.

Project description:The increasing demand for natural products as an alternative therapy for chronic diseases has encouraged research into the pharmacological importance of bioactive compounds from plants. Recently, there has been a surge of interest in the therapeutic potential of oleanolic acid (OA) in the prevention and management of chronic diseases. Oleanolic acid is a pentacyclic triterpenoid widely found in plants, including fruits and vegetables with different techniques and chromatography platforms being employed in its extraction and isolation. Several studies have demonstrated the potential therapeutic effects of OA on different diseases and their symptoms. Furthermore, oleanolic acid also serves as a framework for the development of novel semi-synthetic triterpenoids that could prove vital in finding therapeutic modalities for various ailments. There are recent advances in the design and synthesis of chemical derivatives of OA to enhance its solubility, bioavailability and potency. Some of these derivatives have also been therapeutic candidates in a number of clinical trials. This review consolidates and expands on recent reports on the biological effects of oleanolic acid from different plant sources and its synthetic derivatives as well as their mechanisms of action in in vitro and in vivo study models. This review suggests that oleanolic acid and its derivatives are important candidates in the search for alternative therapy in the treatment and management of chronic diseases.

Biological Properties of Oleanolic Acid Derivatives Bearing Functionalized Side Chains at C-3.

Project description:Triterpene acids are a class of pentacyclic natural carboxylic compounds endowed with a variety of biological activities including antitumor, antimicrobial, and hepatoprotective effects. In this work, several oleanolic acid derivatives were synthesized by structurally modifying them on the C-3 position. All synthesized derivatives were evaluated for possible antibacterial and antiviral activity, and among all the epimers, 6 and 7 demonstrated the best biological activities. Zone-of-inhibition analyses were conducted against two strains, E. coli as a Gram-negative and S. aureus as a Gram-positive model. Subsequently, experiments were performed using the microdilution method to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). The results showed that only the derivative with reduced hydrogen bonding ability on ring A possesses remarkable activity toward E. coli. The conversion from acid to methyl ester implies a loss of activity, probably due to a reduced affinity with the bacterial membrane. Before the antiviral activity, the cytotoxicity of triterpenes was evaluated through a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Samples 6 and 7 showed less than 50% cytotoxicity at 0.625 and 1 mg/mL, respectively. The antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2 and PV-1 did not indicate that triterpene acids had any inhibitory capacity in the sub-toxic concentration range.

Semisynthetic latrunculin derivatives as inhibitors of metastatic breast cancer: biological evaluations, preliminary structure-activity relationship and molecular modeling studies.

Project description:The microfilament cytoskeleton protein actin plays an important role in cell biology and affects cytokinesis, morphogenesis, and cell migration. These functions usually fail and become abnormal in cancer cells. The marine-derived macrolides latrunculins A and B, from the Red Sea sponge Negombata magnifica, are known to reversibly bind actin monomers, forming 1:1 stoichiometric complexes with G-actin, disrupting its polymerization. To identify novel therapeutic agents for effective treatment of metastatic breast cancer, several semisynthetic derivatives of latrunculin A with diverse steric, electrostatic, and hydrogen bond donor and acceptor properties were rationally prepared. Analogues were designed to modulate the binding affinity toward G-actin. Examples of these reactions are esterification, acetylation, and N-alkylation. Semisynthetic latrunculins were then tested for their ability to inhibit pyrene-conjugated actin polymerization, and subsequently assayed for their antiproliferative and anti-invasive properties against MCF7 and MDA-MB-231 cells using MTT and invasion assays, respectively.

Riminophenazine Derivatives as Potential Antituberculosis Agents: Synthesis, Biological, and Electrochemical Evaluations.

Project description:A series of novel riminophenazine derivatives, having ionizable alkyl substituents at N-5 and a variety of substituents on the C-3 imino nitrogen, at C-8 and on the pendant aryl group, have been designed and synthesized. Preliminary investigations into the relationship between lipophilicity, redox potential, and antimycobacterial activity were conducted, using the in vitro activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv, mammalian cytotoxicity, and the redox potential of the compounds determined by cyclic voltammetry as measures. Results revealed an activity "cliff" associated with C-8 substitution (10l and 10m) that, along with defined redox activity, point to a new class of riminophenazines as potential anti-tuberculosis agents having reasonable activity (MIC99 ~1 µM).

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of indole-2-carboxylic acid derivatives as novel HIV-1 integrase strand transfer inhibitors.

Project description:Integrase plays an important role in the life cycle of HIV-1, and integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) can effectively impair the viral replication. However, drug resistance mutations have been confirmed to decrease the efficacy of INSTI during the antiviral therapy. Herein, indole-2-carboxylic acid (1) was found to inhibit the strand transfer of integrase, and the indole nucleus of compound 1 was observed to chelate with two Mg2+ ions within the active site of integrase. Through optimization of compound 1, a series of indole-2-carboxylic acid derivatives were designed and synthesized, and compound 17a was proved to markedly inhibit the effect of integrase, with IC50 value of 3.11 μM. Binding mode analysis of 17a demonstrated that the introduced C6 halogenated benzene ring could effectively bind with the viral DNA (dC20) through π-π stacking interaction. These results indicated that indole-2-carboxylic acid is a promising scaffold for the development of integrase inhibitors.

Synthesis, biological evaluation and molecular docking studies of trans-indole-3-acrylamide derivatives, a new class of tubulin polymerization inhibitors.

Project description:In this study, we synthesized a series of trans-indole-3-acrylamide derivatives (3a-k) and investigated their activity for inhibition of cell proliferation against five human cancer cell lines (HeLa, MCF7, MDA-MB-231, Raji and HL-60) by MTT assay. Compound 3e showed significant antiproliferative activity against both the Raji and HL-60 cell lines with IC50 values of 9.5 and 5.1 μM, respectively. Compound 3e also exhibited moderate inhibitory activity on tubulin polymerization (IC50=17 μM). Flow cytometric analysis of cultured cells treated with 3e also demonstrated that the compound caused cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase in HL-60 and HeLa cells. Moreover, 3e, the most active compound, caused an apoptotic cell death through the activation of caspase-3. Docking simulations suggested that 3e binds to the colchicine site of tubulin.
