The effects of 3-(5'-hydroxymethyl-2'-furyl)-1-benzyl indazole (YC-1) on responses to sodium nitroprusside (SNP), S-nitroso-N-acetyl-penicillamine (SNAP), the nitroxyl anion donor Angeli's salt, and nitrergic nerve stimulation, as well as the release of NO from nitrergic nerves, were studied in the rat isolated anococcygeus muscle. YC-1 (1-100 microM) produced concentration-dependent relaxations in contracted muscles, which were partially but significantly reduced by the inhibitor of soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC), 1H-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo[4,3,-a]quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ, 1 and 10 microM). At a concentration that did not affect tissue tension, YC-1 (1 microM) significantly enhanced relaxations to SNP, SNAP, and Angeli's salt but did not affect relaxations to papaverine (10 microM). Nitrergic relaxations elicited by short periods (1 Hz for 10 s, 15 V) and long periods of EFS (5 Hz for 5 min, 15 V) were also enhanced by YC-1. YC-1 (100 microM), in an l-NAME and tetrodotoxin-insensitive manner, also increased the amount of NO detected in the organ bath media after the tissue was field stimulated (5 Hz for 5 min), which may have resulted from the electrolytic degradation of YC-1, as this effect was also seen in the absence of tissue. In summary, YC-1 enhanced relaxations to donors of NO, Angeli's salt, and nitrergic nerve stimulation in the rat anococcygeus muscle; however, the enhanced release of NO by YC-1 following nitrergic nerve stimulation was not a tissue-dependent effect.  相似文献

The hypothesis that endogenous carbon monoxide (CO), produced during the oxidation of heme catalyzed by heme oxygenase (HO), plays a role similar to that of nitric oxide (NO) in the regulation of cardiovascular tone has been criticized because of the low potency of CO compared with NO in relaxing blood vessels and stimulating soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC). This criticism has been muted by the demonstration that, in the presence of YC-1 [3-(5'-hydroxymethyl-2'-furyl)-1-benzylindazole], CO has similar potency to NO in stimulating sGC activity. In this study, we determined that YC-1 potentiated CO-induced relaxation of rat aortic strips (RtAS) by approximately ten-fold. Furthermore, CO-induced relaxation of RtAS was shown to be mediated through stimulation of sGC because vasorelaxation was inhibited by ODQ (1H-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo-[4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-one), a selective sGC inhibitor, in the absence and presence of YC-1. A gas chromatographic-headspace method was used to measure CO concentration in Krebs' solution following the addition of CO-saturated saline solution to the tissue bath, in order to provide an accurate determination of RtAS exposure to CO. The tissue bath concentration of CO was shown to be approximately one-half of that calculated to be present. We conclude that should an endogenous compound exist with properties similar to that of YC-1, then the potency of CO as a vasorelaxant in the presence of this factor would be increased. As a consequence, CO could play a role in the regulation of cardiovascular tone, comparable to that of NO.  相似文献

As part of our continuing search for potential anticancer drug candidates in YC-1 analogs, several 1-benzyl-3-(substituted aryl)-5-methylfuro[3,2-c]pyrazoles were synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxicity against HL-60 cell line. Among these compounds, 1-benzyl-3-(5-hydroxymethyl-2-furyl)-5-methylfuro[3,2-c]pyrazole (1) showed more potency than YC-1. Through investigation of action mechanism, it was found that compound 1 induced terminal differentiation of HL-60 cells toward granulocyte lineage and promoted HL-60 cell differentiation by regulation of Bcl-2 and c-Myc proteins. Meanwhile, compound 1 also demonstrated apoptosis inducing effect. Such anti-leukemia mechanism of action is apparently different from that of YC-1 which mainly works by inducing apoptosis, but not cell differentiation. Therefore, compound 1 is identified here as a new lead compound of cell differentiating agent and apoptosis inducer for further development of new anti-leukemia agents.  相似文献

To elucidate potential mechanisms of S-nitrosothiol formation in vivo, we studied nitrosation of GSH and albumin by nitric oxide ((*)NO), peroxynitrite, and (*)NO/O(2)(*)(-). In the presence of O(2), (*)NO yielded 20% of S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) at pH 7.5. Ascorbate and the spin trap 4-hydroxy-[2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-piperidine-1-oxyl] (TEMPOL) inhibited GSNO formation by 67%. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy with 5-diethoxyphosphoryl-5-methyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide (DEPMPO) demonstrated intermediate formation of glutathionyl radicals, suggesting that GSNO formation by (*)NO/O(2) is predominantly mediated by (*)NO(2). Peroxynitrite-triggered GSNO formation (0.06% yield) was stimulated 10- and 2-fold by ascorbate and TEMPOL, respectively. Co-generation of (*)NO and O(2)(*)(-) at equal fluxes yielded less GSNO than (*)NO alone, but was 100-fold more efficient (8% yield) than peroxynitrite. Moreover, in contrast to the reaction of peroxynitrite, GSNO formation by (*)NO/O(2)(*)(-) was inhibited by ascorbate. Similar results were obtained with albumin instead of GSH. We propose that sulfhydryl compounds react with O(2)(*)(-) to initiate a chain reaction that forms radical intermediates which combine with (*)NO to yield GSNO. In RAW 264.7 macrophages, S-nitrosothiol formation by (*)NO/O(2) and (*)NO/O(2)(*)(-) occurred with relative efficiencies comparable to those in solution. Our results indicate that concerted generation of (*)NO and O(2)(*)(-) may essentially contribute to nitrosative stress in inflammatory diseases.  相似文献

A new class of hybrid nitric oxide-releasing anti-inflammatory (AI) ester prodrugs (NONO-coxibs) wherein an O2-acetoxymethyl-1-(N-ethyl-N-methylamino)diazen-1-ium-1,2-diolate (13ab), or O2-acetoxymethyl-1-(2-methylpyrrolidin-1-yl)diazen-1-ium-1,2-diolate (16ab), NO-donor moiety was covalently coupled to the COOH group of 5-(4-carboxymethylphenyl)-1-(4-methane(amino)sulfonylphenyl)-3-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrazole (11ab) was synthesized. The percentage of NO released from these diazen-1-ium-1,2-diolates was significantly higher (59.6–74.6% of the theoretical maximal release of 2 molecules of NO/molecule of the parent hybrid ester prodrug) upon incubation in the presence of rat serum, relative to incubation with phosphate buffer (PBS) at pH 7.4 (5.0–7.2% range). These incubation studies suggest that both NO and the AI compound would be released from the parent NONO-coxib upon in vivo cleavage by non-specific serum esterases. All compounds were weak inhibitors of the COX-1 isozyme (IC50 = 8.1–65.2 μM range) and modest inhibitors of the COX-2 isozyme (IC50 = 0.9–4.6 μM range). The most potent parent aminosulfonyl compound 11b exhibited AI activity that was about sixfold greater than that for aspirin and threefold greater than that for ibuprofen. The ester prodrugs 13b, 16b exhibited similar AI activity to that exhibited by the more potent parent acid 11b when the same oral μmol/kg dose was administered. These studies indicate hybrid ester AI/NO donor prodrugs of this type (NONO-coxibs) constitute a plausible drug design concept targeted toward the development of selective COX-2 inhibitory AI drugs that are devoid of adverse cardiovascular effects.  相似文献

A new class of hybrid nitric oxide-releasing anti-inflammatory (AI) ester prodrugs (NONO-coxibs 12a-b) wherein an O(2)-acetoxymethyl 1-(2-carboxypyrrolidin-1-yl)diazen-1-ium-1,2-diolate (11, O(2)-acetoxymethyl PROLI/NO) NO-donor moiety was covalently coupled to the bromomethyl group of 5-(4-bromomethylphenyl)-1-(4-aminosulfonylphenyl)-3-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrazole (9a), and its methanesulfonyl analog (9b), were synthesized. The diazen-1-ium-1,2-diolate compounds 12a-b released a low amount of NO upon incubation with phosphate buffer (PBS) at pH 7.4 (6.1-8.2% range). In comparison, the percentage NO released was significantly higher (76-77% of the theoretical maximal release of two molecules of NO/molecule of the parent hybrid ester prodrug) when the diazen-1-ium-1,2-diolate ester prodrugs 12a-b were incubated in the presence of rat serum. These incubation studies suggest that both NO and the anti-inflammatory 5-(4-hydroxymethylphenyl)-1-(4-aminosulfonylphenyl)-3-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrazole (10a), and its methanesulfonyl analog (10b), would be released from the parent NONO-coxib 12a or 12b upon in vivo cleavage by non-specific serum esterases. The hydroxymethyl compounds 10a-b were weak inhibitors of the cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and COX-2 isozymes (IC(50)=3.7-10.5 microM range). However, the hydroxymethyl compounds 10a-b and the parent NONO-coxibs 12a-b exhibited good AI activities (ED(50)=76.7-111.6 micromol/kg po range) that were greater than that exhibited by the reference drugs aspirin (ED(50)=710 micromol/kg po) and ibuprofen (ED(50)=327 micromol/kg po), but less than that of celecoxib (ED(50)=30.9mumol/kg po). These studies indicate hybrid ester AI/NO-donor prodrugs (NONO-coxibs) constitutes a plausible drug design concept targeted toward the development of selective COX-2 inhibitory AI drugs that are devoid of adverse cardiovascular effects.  相似文献

A new series of 1-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-ylmethyl)-3-[4-(1H-Imidazol-1-yl)phenoxy]-piperidine analogs were designed and identified as potent and selective inhibitors of NO formation based both on the crystal structure of a murine iNOS Delta114 monomer domain/ inhibitor complex and inhibition of the NO formation in human A172 cell assays. Compound 12S showed high potency and high iNOS selectivity versus nNOS and eNOS.  相似文献

A new group of hybrid nitric oxide-releasing anti-inflammatory drugs (NONO-coxibs) wherein an O(2)-acetoxymethyl-1-(N-ethyl-N-methylamino)diazen-1-ium-1,2-diolate (11a-c) NO-donor moiety is attached directly to the carboxylic acid group of 1-(4-methanesulfonylphenyl)-5-aryl-1H-pyrazol-3-carboxylic acids were synthesized. The diazen-1-ium-1,2-diolate compounds 11a-c all released a low amount of NO upon incubation with phosphate buffer (PBS) at pH 7.4 (7.7-9.3% range). In comparison, the percentage of NO released was significantly higher (67.5-73.6% of the theoretical maximal release of two molecules of NO/molecule of the parent hybrid ester prodrug) when the diazen-1-ium-1,2-diolate ester prodrugs were incubated in the presence of rat serum. These incubation studies suggest that both NO and the anti-inflammatory 1-(4-methanesulfonylphenyl)-5-(4-H, 4-F or 4-Me-phenyl)-1H-pyrazol-3-carboxylic acid (9a-c) would be released from the parent NONO-coxib upon in vivo cleavage by non-specific serum esterases. The 1-(4-methanesulfonylphenyl)-5-(4-H, 4-F or 4-Me-phenyl)-1H-pyrazol-3-carboxylic acids (9a-c) exhibited AI activities (ID(50)=85.2-104.4 mg/kg po range) between that exhibited by the reference drugs aspirin (ID(50)=128.7 mg/kg po) and celecoxib (ID(50)=10.8 mg/kg po). Hybrid ester anti-inflammatory/NO-donor prodrugs (NONO-coxibs) offers a potential drug design concept targeted toward the development of anti-inflammatory drugs that are devoid of adverse ulcerogenic and/or cardiovascular effects.  相似文献

A group of 1-(4-methane(amino)sulfonylphenyl)-5-(4-substituted-aminomethylphenyl)-3-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrazoles (12af) was synthesized and evaluated as anti-inflammatory agents. While all the compounds (20 mg/kg) showed significant anti-inflammatory activity after 3 h of inflammation induction (69–89%) as compared to celecoxib (80%), 1-(4-methanesulfonylphenyl)-5-(4-methylaminomethylphenyl)-3-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrazole (12a) was found to be the most effective one (89%). The synthesis of model hybrid nitric oxide donor N-diazen-1-ium-1,2-diolate derivatives of 1-(4-methanesulfonylphenyl)-5-(4-substituted-aminomethylphenyl)-3-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrazoles (10af) requires further investigation since the reaction of N-(4-(1-(4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)benzyl)ethanamine (12b) or 1-(4-(1-(4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)benzyl)piperazine (12c) with nitric oxide furnished N-nitroso derivatives (13 and 14), respectively, rather than the desired N-diazen-1-ium-1,2-diolate derivatives (10b and 10c).  相似文献

A novel hybrid nitric oxide-releasing anti-inflammatory (AI) ester prodrug (NONO-coxib 14) wherein an O2-acetoxymethyl 1-(2-carboxypyrrolidin-1-yl)diazen-1-ium-1,2-diolate (O2-acetoxymethyl PROLI/NO) NO-donor moiety was covalently coupled to the CH2OH group of 3-(4-hydroxymethylphenyl)-4-(4-methylsulfonylphenyl)-5H-furan-2-one (12), was synthesized. The prodrug 14 released a low amount of NO (4.2%) upon incubation with phosphate buffer (PBS) at pH 7.4 which was significantly higher (34.8% of the theoretical maximal release of two molecules of NO/molecule of the parent hybrid ester prodrug) upon incubation in the presence of rat serum. These incubation studies suggest that both NO and the parent compound 12 would be released from the prodrug 14 upon in vivo cleavage by non-specific serum esterases. The prodrug ester 14 is a selective COX-2 inhibitor that exhibited AI activity (ED50 = 72.2 mmol/kg po) between that of the reference drugs celecoxib (ED50 = 30.9 μmol/kg po) and ibuprofen (ED50 = 327 μmol/kg po). The NO donor compound 14 exhibited enhanced inhibition of phenylephrine-induced vasoconstriction of isolated mesenteric arteries compared with that observed under control conditions. These studies indicate hybrid ester AI/NO donor prodrugs (NONO-coxibs) constitutes a plausible drug design concept targeted toward the development of selective COX-2 inhibitory AI drugs that are devoid of adverse cardiovascular effects.  相似文献

Abstract

The 1-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-galactopyranosyl)-3-aryl-5-benzyl (or substituted benzyl)-1,2,4-triazin-6(1H)-/ones or thiones were prepared via galactosidation of 3-aryl-5-benzyl (or substituted benzyl)-1,2,4-triazin-6(1H)-/ones or thiones with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-galactopyranosyl bromide. The structure of the new galactosyl derivatives was based on both spectroscopic and chemical evidences.  相似文献

Nitric Oxide (NO) is a very diverse endogenous molecule and is responsible for a number of mammalian physiological activities. Sodium nitroprusside (SNP) is a long known hypotensive agent due to its ability to produce NO in situ. In this study, we have carried out a detailed investigation on the kinetics and mechanism of the decomposition of SNP by L-ascorbic acid to afford NO in aqueous medium. Spectrophotometric and electrochemical methods were employed in these studies. Experiments were performed under an argon atmosphere and reaction rates were strongly pH dependent and increases with pH. NO release increases up to about pH 7 after which it decreases at higher pHs. The two ionized forms of ascorbate present in aqueous solution reduce SNP in the order A2->HA->H2A (H2A=L-ascorbic acid) to release NO. The outer-sphere reduction of SNP by ascorbate involved three clear stages with NO being released in the last stage. Our kinetic results also show catalysis by group 1 alkali metal ions to increase down the group from Li+ to Cs+. A detail study presented here, strongly illustrate the possibility of the biological antioxidant, L-ascorbic acid, to play a vital role in the in situ metabolism of nitrosocompounds such as SNP to produce NO.  相似文献

Activation of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR)α and its protective role in cardiovascular function has been reported but the exact mechanism(s) involved is not clear. As we have shown that PPARα ligands increased nitric oxide (NO) production and cardiovascular function is controlled by a balance between NO and free radicals, we hypothesize that PPARα activation tilts the balance between NO and free radicals and that this mechanism defines the protective effects of PPARα ligands on cardiovascular system. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) was greater in PPARα knockout (KO) mice compared with its wild type (WT) litter mates (130 ± 10 mmHg versus 107 ± 4 mmHg). l-NAME (100 mg/L p.o.), the inhibitor of NO production abolished the difference between PPARα KO and WT mice. In kidney homogenates, tissue lipid hydroperoxide generation was greater in KO mice (11.8 ± 1.4 pM/mg versus 8.3 ± 0.6 pM/mg protein). This was accompanied by a higher total NOS activity (46 ± 6%, p < 0.05) and a 3 fold greater Ca2+-dependent NOS activity in kidney homogenates of untreated PPARα WT compared with the KO mice. Clofibrate, a PPARα ligand, increased NOS activity in WT but not KO mice. Bezafibrate (30 mg/kg) reduced SBP in conscious rats (19 ± 4%, p < 0.05), increased urinary NO excretion (4.06 ± 0.53–7.07 ± 1.59 μM/24 h; p < 0.05) and reduced plasma 8-isoprostane level (45.8 ± 15 μM versus 31.4 ± 8 μM), and NADP(H) oxidase activity (16 ± 5%). Implantation of DOCA pellet (20 mg s.c.) in uninephrectomized mice placed on 1% NaCl drinking water increased SBP by a margin that was markedly greater in KO mice (193 ± 13 mmHg versus 130 ± 12 mmHg). In the rat, DOCA increased SBP and NAD(P)H oxidase activity and both effects were diminished by clofibrate. In addition, clofibrate reduced ET-1 production in DOCA/salt hypertensive rats. Thus, apart from inhibition of ET-1 production, PPARα activation exerts protective actions in hypertension via a mechanism that involves NO production and/or inhibition of NAD(P)H oxidase activity.  相似文献

In the human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell line, the glutathione transferase Omega 1-1 (GSTO1-1) appears to modulate Akt and MEK1/2 kinase activation. We observed a glutathionylation modification was involved in the activation of Akt but not MEK1/2. With the specific GSTO1-1 inhibitor ML175, we show the enzyme activity of GSTO1-1 is important for modulation as the inhibited GSTO1-1 allowed activation of both Akt and MEK1/2. The inhibition of GSTO1-1 showed a similar extent of activation of Akt and MEK1/2 as treatment by the endotoxin lipopolysaccharide. The GSTO1-1 also either directly interacts with Akt and MEK1/2 or interacts with a protein complexed with Akt and MEK1/2 as both kinases coimmunoprecipitated with GSTO1-1. The results suggest that GSTO1-1 enzyme activity inhibits the activation of these two kinases to maintain basal levels. The possible regulation by GSTO1-1 is of interest as both kinases have hundreds of potential downstream targets that are known to have contributions to various cellular processes including survival, growth, proliferation, and metabolism.  相似文献

SIN-1 is frequently used in cell culture studies as an extracellularly operating generator of peroxynitrite. However, little is known about the nature of the reactive species produced intracellulary from SIN-1. SIN-1 can easily penetrate cells as exemplified for both L-929 mouse fibroblasts and bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAECs) by utilizing capillary zone electrophoresis. In L-929 cells, SIN-1 produced nitric oxide (*NO) as monitored by the fluorescent *NO scavenger FNOCT-1 and by means of a *NO electrode, as well as reactive nitrogenoxide species (RNOS, e.g. peroxynitrite, nitrogen dioxide, dinitrogen trioxide), as detected with the fluorescent indicator DAF-2. Laser scanning microscopy revealed that in L-929 cells SIN-1 -derived species initially oxidized the major fraction of the NAD(P)H within the cytosol and the nuclei, whereas the mitochondrial NAD(P)H level was somewhat increased. In marked contrast to this, in BAECs no evidence for *NO formation was found although the intracellular amount of SIN-1 was four-fold higher than in L-929 cells. In BAECs, the level of NAD(P)H was slightly decreased within the first 10 min after administration of SIN-1 in both the cytosol/nuclei and mitochondria. These observations reflect the capability of SIN-1 to generate intracellularly either almost exclusively RNOS as in BAECs, or RNOS and freely diffusing *NO as in L-929 cells. Nitric oxide as well as RNOS may decisively affect cellular metabolism as indicated by the alterations in the NAD(P)H level. Hence, care should be taken when applying SIN-1 as an exclusively peroxynitrite-generating compound in cell culture systems.  相似文献

This report demonstrates that mice deficient in Flt-1 failed to establish ischemic preconditioning (PC)-mediated cardioprotection in isolated working buffer-perfused ischemic/reperfused (I/R) hearts compared to wild type (WT) subjected to the same PC protocol. WT and Flt-1+/- mice were divided into four groups: (1) WT I/R, (2) WT + PC, (3) Flt-1+/- I/R, and (4) Flt-1+/- + PC. Group 1 and 3 mice were subjected to 30 min of ischemia followed by 2 h of reperfusion and group 2 and 4 mice were subjected to four episodes of 4-min global ischemia followed by 6 min of reperfusion before ischemia/reperfusion. For both wild-type and Flt-1+/- mice, the postischemic functional recovery for the hearts was lower than the baseline, but the recovery for the knockout mice was less compared to the WT mice even in preconditioning. The myocardial infarction and apoptosis were higher in Flt-1+/- compared to wild-type I/R. Flt-1+/- KO mice demonstrated pronounced inhibition of the expression of iNOS, p-AKT & p-eNOS. Significant inhibition of STAT3 & CREB were also observed along with the inhibition of HO-1 mRNA. Results demonstrate that Flt-1+/- mouse hearts are more susceptible to ischemia/reperfusion injury and also document that preconditioning is not as effective as found in WT and therefore suggest the importance of VEGF/Flt-1 signaling in ischemic/reperfused myocardium.  相似文献
