Investigation of 4-Hydrazinobenzoic Acid Derivatives for Their Antioxidant Activity: In Vitro Screening and DFT Study.

ABSTRACT: Hydrazinobenzoic acid derivatives with isothiocyanate, benzylidene, and acid anhydride core units (1-13) were previously synthesized and fully characterized. Targets 1-13 were investigated for their antioxidant activities using different in vitro assays such as 1,1-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging, 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) (ABTS), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), and reducing power capability. All derivatives showed antioxidant properties in relation to the standard butylated hydroxylanisole (BHA). Superior antioxidant activities was observed for compounds 3 and 5-9 at a concentration of 20 μg/mL (70-72%) when tested by the DPPH method in comparison to BHA (92%), and compounds 1-10 showed the highest free radical quenching activity (80-85%) when examined by ABTS at 20 μg/mL in relation to BHA (85%). Density function theory (DFT) studies were carried out using the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level of theory. Several antioxidant descriptors were calculated for targets 1-13 compared with BHA. Targets 1-13 were proposed to exhibit their antioxidant activities via the following three proposed antioxidant mechanisms: single electron transfer (SET), hydrogen atom transfer (HAT), and sequential proton loss electron transfer (SPLET). The highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energies and electron levels for 1-13 were also determined.

Synthesis and in vitro antimicrobial activity screening of new pipemidic acid derivatives.

Project description:This article describes the synthesis and antimicrobial activity evaluation of new pipemidic acid derivatives. New compounds were obtained on the basis of Mannich reaction of 4,5-disubstituted 1,2,4-triazole-3-thiones with pipemidic acid. Antimicrobial tests revealed high antibacterial activity of obtained derivatives. Gram-negative rods belonging to Enterobacteriaceae family were particularly most sensitive to new pipemidic acid derivatives. Synthesized compounds exhibited very strong activity towards Proteus mirabilis ATCC 12453, Salmonella typhimurium ATCC 14028 and Escherichia coli ATCC 25922. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of new pipemidic acid derivatives which inhibited the growth of these bacteria were 0.98-7.81 µg/ml, 0.98-7.81 µg/ml and 0.98-3.91 µg/ml, respectively. The antibacterial activity of newly synthesized pipemidic acid derivatives in many cases was far better than the activity of substances used as positive controls (nitrofurantoin, cefuroxime, ampicillin and pipemidic acid).

Synthesis and Antioxidant Activity of Caffeic Acid Derivatives.

Project description:A series of caffeic acid derivatives were synthesized via a modified Wittig reaction which is a very important tool in organic chemistry for the construction of unsaturated carbon?carbon bonds. All reactions were performed in water medium at 90 °C. The aqueous Wittig reaction worked best when one unprotected hydroxyl group was present in the phenyl ring. The olefinations in the aqueous conditions were also conducted with good yields in the presence of two unprotected hydroxyl groups. When the number of the hydroxyl groups was increased to three, the reaction yields were worse, and the derivatives 12, 13, and 18 were obtained with 74%, 37%, and 70% yields, respectively. Nevertheless, the Wittig reaction using water as the essential medium is an elegant one-pot synthesis and a greener method, which can be a safe alternative for implementation in organic chemistry. The obtained compounds were tested for their antioxidant activity, and 12, 13, and 18 showed the highest activities. Moreover, all synthesized compounds displayed no cytotoxicity, and can therefore be used in the pharmaceutical or cosmetic industry.

Conjugated Oligo-Aromatic Compounds Bearing a 3,4,5-Trimethoxy Moiety: Investigation of Their Antioxidant Activity Correlated with a DFT Study.

Project description:A series of heterocyclic compounds bearing the well-known free radical scavenging 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzyloxy group, was synthesized. The key compound 4-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzyl-oxy)benzohydrazide was converted into thiosemicarbazide derivatives, which were subsequently cyclized with NaOH to provide 1,2,4-triazole derivatives. Alternative treatment of the acid hydrazide with carbon disulfide in the presence of KOH led to the corresponding 1,3,4-oxadiazole and various alkylated derivatives. The newly synthesized compounds were purified and the structures of the products were elucidated and confirmed on the basis of their analytical and spectral data. Their antioxidant activities were evaluated using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH(•)) and Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP) assays. The thiosemicarbazide derivatives were highly active in both antioxidant assays with the lowest IC50 value for DPPH radical scavenging. Theoretical calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) were performed to understand the relative importance of NH, SH and CH hydrogens on the radical scavenging activities of these compounds.

Novel N-Substituted Amino Acid Hydrazone-Isatin Derivatives: Synthesis, Antioxidant Activity, and Anticancer Activity in 2D and 3D Models In Vitro.

Project description:A series of novel mono and bishydrazones each bearing a 2-oxindole moiety along with substituted phenylaminopropanamide, pyrrolidin-2-one, benzimidazole, diphenylmethane, or diphenylamine fragments were synthesized, and their anticancer activities were tested by MTT assay against human melanoma A375 and colon adenocarcinoma HT-29 cell lines. In general, the synthesized compounds were more cytotoxic against HT-29 than A375. 3-((4-Methoxyphenyl)(3-oxo-3-(2-(2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)hydrazinyl)propyl)amino)-N'-(2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)propanehydrazide and (N',N‴)-1,1'-(methylenebis(4,1-phenylene))bis(5-oxo-N'-(2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)pyrrolidine-3-carbohydrazide) were identified as the most active compounds against HT-29 in 2D and 3D cell cultures. The same compounds showed the highest antioxidant activity among the synthesized compounds screened by ferric reducing antioxidant power assay (FRAP). Their antioxidant activity is on par with that of a well-known antioxidant ascorbic acid.

DFT Studies on the Antioxidant Activity of Naringenin and Its Derivatives: Effects of the Substituents at C3.

Project description:The radical scavenging activity of a flavonoid is largely influenced by its structure. The effects of the substituents at C3 position on the antioxidant activity of naringenin were carried out using the density functional theory (DFT) method. The reaction enthalpies related with the three well-established mechanisms were analyzed. Excellent correlations were found between the reaction enthalpies and Hammett sigma constants. Equations obtained from the linear regression can be helpful in the selection of suitable candidates for the synthesis of novel naringenin derivatives with enhanced antioxidant properties. In the gas and benzene phases, the antioxidant activity of naringenin was enhanced by the electron-donating substituents via weakening the bond dissociation enthalpy (BDE). In the water phase, it was strengthened by electron-withdrawing groups-via lowering the proton affinity (PA). The electronic effect of the substituent on the BDE of naringenin is mainly governed by the resonance effect, while that on the ionization potential (IP) and PA of naringenin is mainly controlled by the field/inductive effect.

New thiazole, pyridine and pyrazole derivatives as antioxidant candidates: synthesis, DFT calculations and molecular docking study.

Project description:Novel heterocyclic compounds containing pyrazole, thiazole and pyridine moieties were designed and prepared based on the condensation reaction between 1,3-thiazole or aminopyridine derivatives and 1H-pyrazole,3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole or 1,2,4-triazole. Their structures were confirmed with FTIR, 1H and 13C NMR analyses. DPPH scavenging assay was used to evaluate their antioxidant potential. The ligand 4 showed the best antioxidant activity with an IC50 = 4.67 μg/mL, while IC50 values of the other compounds were found to be ranging from 20.56 to 45.32 μg/mL. DFT and molecular docking studies were performed in order to gain better insights and to understand the relationship between the structures of the studied compounds and their antioxidant activities. The results obtained revealed a good agreement between the experimental and the theoretical findings.

Synthesis, DFT Calculations, and In Vitro Antioxidant Study on Novel Carba-Analogs of Vitamin E.

Project description:Vitamin E is the most active natural lipophilic antioxidant with a broad spectrum of biological activity. ?-Tocopherol (?-T), the main representative of the vitamin E family, is a strong inhibitor of lipid peroxidation as a chain-breaking antioxidant. Antioxidant and antiradical properties of vitamin E result from the presence of a phenolic hydroxyl group at the C-6 position. Due to stereoelectronic effects in the dihydropyranyl ring, the dissociation enthalpy for phenolic O-H bond (BDEOH) is reduced. The high chain-breaking reactivity of ?-T is mainly attributed to orbital overlapping of the 2p-type lone pair on the oxygen atom (O1) in para position to the phenolic group, and the aromatic ?-electron system. The influence of the O1 atom on the antioxidant activity of vitamin E was estimated quantitatively. The all-rac-1-carba-?-tocopherol was synthesized for the first time. Along with model compounds, 1-carba-analog of Trolox and its methyl ester were screened for their in vitro antioxidant activity by inhibition of styrene oxidation, and for the radical-reducing properties by means of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl free radical (DPPH) scavenging assay. To study the antioxidant activity, density functional theory (DFT) was also applied. Reaction enthalpies related to HAT (hydrogen atom transfer), SET-PT (sequential electron transfer-proton transfer), and SPLET (sequential proton loss-electron transfer) mechanisms were calculated.

Radical scavenger competition of alizarin and curcumin: a mechanistic DFT study on antioxidant activity.

Project description:In vivo hydroxyl, peroxyl, and superoxide free radicals caused by oxidative stress can be toxic to molecules that are essential for the human body. However, there are natural compounds that can decrease the amount of these harmful species. In this work, we are focusing on two well-known compounds, alizarin (red) and curcumin, to study their interactions with these small radicals for a comparison between a rigid and a flexible structure. We made a mechanistic study and found the major and minor degradation products of curcumin as well as the autoxidation products of it based on a wide range of literature. We found several more favored pathways than those that were previously proposed. On the contrary, for degradation/oxidation of alizarin, only a few proposed mechanisms can be found which were performed in specific conditions. Our calculations predicted some favored rearrangements for the alizarin by peroxyl and superoxide radicals. Interaction of alizarin red and bright yellow curcumin with small radicals like hydroxyl, peroxyl, and superoxide radicals, such as the reaction between curcumin radicals and oxygen molecule, results in different species like epoxides or another kind of radical forms. The stability of epoxides is different in the case of rigid and flexible structures.

Stepwise design, synthesis, and in vitro antifungal screening of (Z)-substituted-propenoic acid derivatives with potent broad-spectrum antifungal activity.

Project description:Fungal infections are a main reason for the high mortality rate worldwide. It is a challenge to design selective antifungal agents with broad-spectrum activity. Lanosterol 14α-demethylase is an attractive target in the design of antifungal agents. Seven compounds were selected from a number of designed compounds using a rational docking study. These compounds were synthesized and evaluated for their antifungal activity. In silico study results showed the high binding affinity to lanosterol 14α-demethylase (-24.49 and -25.83 kcal/mol) for compounds V and VII, respectively; these values were greater than those for miconazole (-18.19 kcal/mol) and fluconazole (-16.08 kcal/mol). Compound V emerged as the most potent antifungal agent among all compounds with a half maximal inhibitory concentration of 7.01, 7.59, 7.25, 31.6, and 41.6 µg/mL against Candida albicans, Candida parapsilosis, Aspergillus niger, Trichophyton rubrum, and Trichophyton mentagrophytes, respectively. The antifungal activity for most of the synthesized compounds was more potent than that of miconazole and fluconazole.
