Exploring 3-hydroxyflavone scaffolds as mushroom tyrosinase inhibitors: synthesis, X-ray crystallography, antimicrobial, fluorescence behaviour, structure-activity relationship and molecular modelling studies
摘要:
To explore new scaffolds as tyrosinase enzyme inhibitors remain an interesting goal in the drug discovery and development. In due course and our approach to synthesize bioactive compounds, a series of varyingly substituted 3-hydroxyflavone derivatives (1-23) were synthesized in one-pot reaction and screened forin vitroagainst mushroom tyrosinase enzyme. The structures of newly synthesized compounds were unambiguously corroborated by usual spectroscopic techniques (FTIR, UV-Vis,H-1-,C-13-NMR) and mass spectrometry (EI-MS). The structure of compound15was also characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis. Furthermore, the synthesized compounds (1-23) were evaluated for their antimicrobial potential. Biological studies exhibit pretty good activity against most of the bacterial-fungal strains and their activity is comparable to those of commercially available antibioticsi.e.Cefixime and Clotrimazole. Amongst the series, the compounds2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14and22exhibited excellent inhibitory activity against tyrosinase, even better than standard compound. Remarkably, the compound2(IC50= 0.280 +/- 0.010 mu g/ml) was found almost sixfold and derivative5(IC50= 0.230 +/- 0.020 mu g/ml) about sevenfold more active as compared to standard Kojic acid (IC50=1.79 +/- 0.6 mu g/ml). Moreover, these synthetic compounds (1-23) displayed good to moderate activities against tested bacterial and fungal strains. Their emission behavior was also investigated in order to know their potential as fluorescent probes. The molecular modelling simulations were also performed to explore their binding interactions with active sites of the tyrosinase enzyme. Limited structure-activity relationship was established to design and develop new tyrosinase inhibitors by employing 2-arylchromone as a structural core in the future. Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

As one of the gaseous signals in living cells, carbon monoxide (CO) not only participates in many biological activities but also serves as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of diseases. However, the limited applicability of CO in gas therapy emerges from the inconvenience of direct administration of CO. Here we reported the construction of guanidinylated CO-releasing micelles, which are composed
一氧化碳 (CO) 作为活细胞中的气态信号之一,不仅参与许多生物活动,而且还作为治疗疾病的治疗剂。然而,CO 在气体治疗中的适用性有限,这是由于直接给予 CO 的不便。在这里,我们报道了胍酰化 CO 释放胶束的构建,其由基于聚碳酸三亚甲基酯 (PTMC) 的 CO 供体组成。体外研究表明,光照射下的胶束可诱导癌症死亡,而未观察到对正常细胞的明显毒性。此外,由于与细胞表面的特异性相互作用,胍基团的功能化提高了胶束的细胞摄取效率,从而协同增加了系统的抗癌能力。胍功能化的 CO 释放胶束为构建 CO 释放纳米载体提供了一种新策略,有望在气体治疗中得到应用。

Fluorescence detection of endogenous bisulfite in liver cancer cells using an effective ESIPT enhanced FRET platform
Probe L-HF1, which featured large (pseudo) Stokes shifts and high FRET efficiency, was designed on a new ESIPT enhanced FRET platform for the detection of HSO3−/SO32−.
