Design, synthesis and antitumour and anti-angiogenesis evaluation of 22 moscatilin derivatives
摘要:
Two series of moscatilin derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated as anti-tumor and anti-angiogenesis agents. Most of these compounds showed moderate-to-obvious cytotoxicity against five cancer cell lines (A549, HepG2, MDA-MB-231, MKN-45, HCT116). Among these cell lines, compounds had obvious effects on HCT116. Especially for 8Ae, the IC50 was low to 0.25 mu M. 8Ae can inhibit the viability and induce the apoptosis of HCT116 cells but exhibit no cytotoxic activity in noncancerous NCM460 colon cells. 8Ae can also arrest the G2/M cell cycle in HCT116 cells by inhibiting the alpha-tubulin expression. Zebrafish bioassay-guided screen showed the 22 moscatilin derivatives had potent anti-angiogenic activities and compound 8Ae had better activities than positive compound. Molecular docking indicated 8Ae interacted with tubulin at the affinity of -7.2 Kcal/mol. In conclusion, compound 8Ae was a potential antitumor and anti-angiogenesis candidate for further development.
Development of a laccase/syringaldazine system for NAD(P)H oxidation
摘要:
The kinetics of laccase-catalyzed NAD(P)H oxidation in the presence of syringaldazine (4-hydroxy3,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde azine) was investigated spectrophotometrically and by measuring the consumption of oxygen. Laccases from Didymocrea sp. (DsL) and Trichaptum abietinum (TaL) were used. These enzymes showed different pH profiles towards syringaldazine. DsL showed a maximum activity at pH 8.0 that is unusual for fungal laccases. The maximal activity of TaL was observed at pH 5.5. A kinetic mechanism for the laccase-catalyzed syringaldazine oxidation and disproportionation of reaction products as well as their reaction with NAD(P)H was suggested. Since TaL was slightly more reactive with syringaldazine than DsL, the calculated constants of enzymatic reaction were different for the investigated laccases. The constant of NAD(P)H oxidation by oxidized syringaldazine (tetramethoxy azobismethylene quinine, TMAMQ) is 1.0 x 10(4) M-1 S-1, which was sufficient for effective NAD(P)H oxidation. The production of an enzymatically active NAD(+) was proved by coupling the laccase/mediator system with alcohol oxidation catalyzed by yeast alcohol dehydrogenase. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.

Syringaldehyde was utilized in synthesis of different heterocyclic systems. Some of the synthesized compounds 2, 7, 8, 10, 11, and 13 were tested for antioxidant activity where they showed ability to inhibit oxidation in kidney and rat brain homogenates using 2, 2′‐azinobis (3‐ethylbenzothiazoline‐6‐sulfonic acid) (ABTS). Also, the activity against cancer was examined using the standard MTT method

Highly conjugated azines were prepared by solid state grinding of solid hydrazine and carbonyl compounds such as aldehydes and ketones, using a mortar and a pestle. Complete conversion to the azine product is generally achieved at room temperature within 24 h, without using solvents or additives. The solid-state reactions afford azines as the sole products with greater than 97% yield, producing only water and carbon dioxide as waste.

The present work involves the use of p-tert-butylcalix[4,6,8]arene carboxylic acid derivatives ((t)Butyl[4,6,8]CH2COOH) for selective extraction of hemoglobin. All three calixarenes extracted hemoglobin into the organic phase, exhibiting extraction parameters higher than 0.90. Evaluation of the solvent accessible positively charged amino acid side chains of hemoglobin (PDB entry 1XZ2) revealed that there are 8 arginine, 44 lysine and 30 histidine residues on the protein surface which may be involved in the interactions with the calixarene molecules. The hemoglobin-(t)Butyl[6]CH2COOH complex had pseudoperoxidase activity which catalysed the oxidation of syringaldazine in the presence of hydrogen peroxide in organic medium containing chloroform. The effect of pH, protein and substrate concentrations on biocatalysis was investigated using the hemoglobin-(t)Butyl[6]CH2COOH complex. This complex exhibited the highest specific activity of 9.92 x 10(-2) U mg protein(-1) at an initial pH of 7.5 in organic medium. Apparent kinetic parameters (V'(max), K'(m), k'(cat) and k'(cat)/K'(m)) for the pseudoperoxidase activity were determined in organic media for different pH values from a Michaelis-Menten plot. Furthermore, the stability of the protein-calixarene complex was investigated for different initial pH values and half-life (t(1/2)) values were obtained in the range of 1.96 and 2.64 days. Hemoglobin-calixarene complex present in organic medium was recovered in fresh aqueous solutions at alkaline pH, with a recovery of pseudoperoxidase activity of over 100%. These results strongly suggest that the use of calixarene derivatives is an alternative technique for protein extraction and solubilisation in organic media for biocatalysis. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.
