Peripheral neuropathy is the most prevalent chronic complication of diabetes mellitus. Good glycemic control can delay the appearance of neuropathic symptoms in diabetic patients but it is not sufficient to prevent or cure the disease. Therefore therapeutic approaches should focus on attenuation of pathogenetic mechanisms responsible for the nerve injury. Considering the role of polyol pathway in the etiology of diabetic neuropathy, we evaluated the effect of a novel efficient and selective aldose reductase inhibitor, 3-mercapto-5H-1,2,4-triazino[5,6-b]indole-5-acetic acid (cemtirestat), on symptoms of diabetic peripheral neuropathy in Zucker Diabetic Fatty (ZDF) rats. Since the age of 5 months, male ZDF rats were orally administered cemtirestat, 2.5 and 7.5 mg/kg/day, for two following months. Thermal hypoalgesia was evaluated by tail flick and hot plate tests. Tactile allodynia was determined by a von Frey flexible filament test. Two-month treatment of ZDF rats with cemtirestat (i) did not affect physical and glycemic status of the animals; (ii) partially inhibited sorbitol accumulation in red blood cells and the sciatic nerve; (iii) markedly decreased plasma levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances; (iv) normalized symptoms of peripheral neuropathy with high significance. The presented findings indicate that inhibition of aldose reductase by cemtirestat is not solely responsible for the recorded improvement of the behavioral responses. In future studies, potential effects of cemtirestat on consequences of diabetes that are not exclusively dependent on glucose metabolism via polyol pathway should be taken into consideration. 相似文献

Abstract The novel N-bridgehead formycin analog 3- β-D-ribofuranosyl-8-amino-s-triazolo [4, 3-a] pyridine (8a-aza-4, 6-dideaza formycin) has been prepared from 5- [2, 3, 5-tri-O-benzoyl- β-D-ribofuranosyl] - (2H)-tetrazole and 2-chloro-3-nitropyridine. The synthetic route used an initial condensation followed by deprotection and subsequent hydrogenation to afford 2a. 2-Hydroxyethoxymethyl group, an acyclic group, that mimics the ribofuranose unit was also introduced. These compounds were tested against type 1 herpes and poliovirus in tissue culture and their effect on cellular RNA and DNA synthesis was determined. All derivatives possess considerable cytotoxic effect which is expressed more with ribofuranosyl derivatives. 相似文献

In search for novel antidepressants, a series of 2-(5 H-[1,2,4]triazino[5,6- b]indol-3-ylthio)- N-(substituted phenyl)acetamides was synthesized and screened for potential antidepressant activity by tail suspension test (TST) in mice. Number of synthesized compounds exhibited impressive antidepressant activity, measured in terms of percentage decrease in immobility duration (%DID). QSAR analysis was also undertaken which correlated three parameters FOSA, PISA, and glob with biological activity. 相似文献

Synthesis and cytotoxicity of 3,4-disubstituted-5-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazoles and novel 5,6-dihydro-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole derivatives bearing 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl moiety
A series of 3,4-disubstituted-5-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazoles and some novel 5,6-dihydro-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazoles bearing 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl moiety were synthesized and screened for their anticancer activity. The preliminary bioassay results indicated that compounds 14 and 16 showed much stronger cytotoxicity than Doxorubicin against HepG2 cell lines with IC(50) values of 0.58 and 3.17 μM, respectively. Meanwhile compound 16 also exhibited a broad spectrum of antitumor activity against MCF-7 and MKN45 with IC(50) values of 10.92 and 13.79 μM, respectively. 相似文献

Aldose reductase (AKR1B1) has been considered as a significant target for designing drugs to counteract the development of diabetic complications. In the present study, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and molecular mechanics generalized Born surface area (MM-GB/SA) calculations were performed to make sure which tautomer is the preferred one among three tautomeric forms (Mtia1, Mtia2, and Mtia3) of 3-Mercapto-5H-1,2,4-triazino[5,6-b]indole-5-acetic acid (Mtia) for binding to AKR1B1. The overall structural features and the results of calculated binding free energies indicate that Mtia1 and Mtia2 have more superiority than Mtia3 in terms of binding to AKR1B1. Furtherly, the local active site conformational characteristics and non-covalent interaction analysis were identified. The results indicate that the combination of Mtia2 and AKR1B1 is more stable than that of Mtia1. Furthermore, two extra hydrogen bonds between AKR1B1 and Mtia2 are found with respect to Mtia1. In addition, Mtia2 makes slightly stronger electrostatic interaction with the positively charged nicotinamide group of NADP + than Mtia1. Based on the results above, Mtia2 is the preferred tautomeric form among the three tautomers. Our study can provide an insight into the details of the interaction between AKR1B1 and Mtia at the atomic level, and will be helpful for the further design of AKR1B1 inhibitors. 相似文献

A potent mutagen, 3-amino-1-methyl-5H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole (Trp-P-2), isolated from a tryptophan pyrolysate, was activated metabolically by rat liver microsomes and bound to DNA. An active metabolite formed by rat liver microsomes was identified as 3-hydroxyamino-1-methyl-5H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole (N-OH-Trp-P-2). Synthetic N-OH-Trp-P-2 reacted with DNA efficiently after O-acetylation or to a lesser extent under acidic conditions (pH 5.5), but did not react appreciably under neutral conditions. Acid hydrolysis of DNA modified by O-acetylated N-OH-Trp-P-2 (N-OAc-Trp-P-2) gave 3-(8-guanyl)amino-1-methyl-5H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole (Gua-Trp-P-2), which is the main modified base of DNA formed by Trp-P-2 in the presence of microsomes. The glycoside bond of the modified base was found to be cleaved by heating at 100° for 1 hr at pH 7.0. In this way, the modified base was liberated from DNA modified by N-OAc-Trp-P-2 in good yield. N-OAc-Trp-P-2 bound to guanyl cytidine more effectively than to guanylic acid, suggesting that covalent binding with guanyl moiety of DNA involves intercalation of the ultimate mutagen into a base pair. 相似文献

A series of 3-substituted analogs 3 of 4-(3-bromo-8-methyl-10-methoxy-6,11-dihydro-5H-benzo[5,6]-cyclohepta[1,2 b]pyridin-11-yl)-1-(4-pyridinylacetyl)piperidine N-oxide 2 was prepared and evaluated as FPT inhibitors. The objective of this study was to identify other substituents at C3 in this series of FPT inhibitors that would have the FPT potency enhancement similar to that found for a C3 bromo substituent. The 3-methyl analog 17b was found to be tenfold less active than 2, and other C3 substituents having more steric bulk were found to cause a further reduction in activity. 相似文献

Regioselective alkylation of 5-(3-chlorobenzo[b]thien-2-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole ( 1) with hydroxy alkylating agents 2, 3, 13, and the 2,3-O-isopropylidene-1-O-(p-tolylsulfonyl)-glycerol ( 10) afforded the corresponding S-alkylated derivatives 6, 7, 11, and 14 under both conventional and microwave irradiation conditions; bentonite as a solid support gave better results, with no change in regioselectivity. A facile intramolecular dehydrative ring closure of 6, 7, 11, and 14 using K 2CO 3 in DMF afforded the corresponding fused triazolo-thiazines and thiazolo-triazole 17–19. The isopropylidenes and acetyl derivatives of the products were prepared. 相似文献

The synthesis of several 4-pyridylacetyl N-oxide derivatives of 4-(3-bromo-6,11-dihydro-5H-benzo[5,6]-cyclohepta[1,2-b]-pyridin-11-yl)pi perazine/piperidine 3 is described. This study was aimed at identifying fomesyl protein transferase (FPT) inhibitors in these two series of tricycles containing different phenyl ring substituents. The in vitro activity profile of the initial group of compounds 7a-7g led to the synthesis of the 8-methyl-10-methoxy and 8-methyl-10-bromo analogues 7i, 13i, and 13j. The 11R(-) enantiomers of these compounds were found to exhibit potent in vitro FPT inhibition activity. 相似文献

Abstract The attempted ring-closure of 4-amino-1-benzyl-5-[(N 2-benzyl-N 2-methoxy-carbonyl)hydrazinomethylenecarbonyl]imidazole (5b) in sodium hydride/dimethyl sulfoxide at 50–60 °C afforded 1,7-dibenzylxanthine (6) instead of the anticipated 5:8-fused heterocycle 4b. A tentative reaction pathway has been proposed for the observed transformation. 相似文献

Indolo[2,3-b]quinolines are a new family of the DNA intercalators showing significant cytotoxic activity. The mechanism of their action is based on the inhibition of DNA topoisomerase II activity. It depends on their ability to induce and stabilize drug-topII-DNA cleavable complexes. Site-specific intercalation of 5,11-dimethyl-5H-indolo[2,3-b]quinoline (DiMIQ) was analyzed in vitro by DNaseI footprinting and by molecular modeling. To model the DNA-intercalator complex, use was made of the CVFF and ESFF force fields implemented in Insight 97.0 software. Experimental results were verified using a simple statistical model. The DiMIQ molecule was found to bind preferentially to the pBR322 DNA plasmid in the 5'-TGCTAACGC-3' region between adjacent adenine bases. 相似文献

3-Amino-1-methyl-5H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole (Trp-P-2), a mutagenic principle in tryptophan pyrolysates, binds to DNA after metabolic activation by rat liver enzymes. The enzymes for activation of Trp-P-2 were found in both microsomes and the cytosol. The reaction required NADPH and ATP, metabolic and was inhibited by 7,8-benzoflavone. Considerable binding was observed with only microsomes as enzyme source, but further addition of cytosol enhanced the binding, enhancement depending on the amount of cytosol added. Inducers for microsomal mixed-function oxidases induced activating enzyme(s) for Trp-P-2, 3-methylcholanthrene being most effective, followed by polychlorinated biphenyls and then phenobarbital. 相似文献

We report the discovery of a novel series of ATP-competitive Janus kinase 3 (JAK3) inhibitors based on the 5 H-pyrrolo[2,3- b]pyrazine scaffold. The initial leads in this series, compounds 1a and 1h, showed promising potencies, but a lack of selectivity against other isoforms in the JAK family. Computational and crystallographic analysis suggested that the phenyl ether moiety possessed a favorable vector to achieve selectivity. Exploration of this vector resulted in the identification of 12b and 12d, as potent JAK3 inhibitors, demonstrating improved JAK family and kinase selectivity. 相似文献

The receptor-ionophore complex of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-sensitive receptor was solubilized by deoxycholic acid from rat brain using (+)-[3H]5-methyl-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-5,10-imi ne ([3H]MK-801) binding as a marker for the receptor. Gel filtration of the solubilized preparations on a Sephadex G-25 column revealed significant [3H]MK-801 binding sensitive to potentiation by glutamate and glutamate/glycine, which was prevented by competitive antagonists for the NMDA and strychnine-insensitive glycine (GlyB) sites. In contrast to NMDA and glycine, spermidine markedly potentiated the amount of [3H]MK-801 binding in solubilized preparations by increasing the apparent affinity of the ligand. In the presence of all three stimulants, the solubilized preparations exhibited pharmacological profiles similar to those in the membrane preparations. These results clearly indicate that the whole macromolecular NMDA receptor-ionophore complex is solubilized under the experimental conditions used. 相似文献

Abstract— Phenylalanine ammmonia-lyase (PAL), an enzyme which converts phenylalanine (Phe) and tyrosine (Tyr) to trans- p-cinnamic acid and trans- p-coumaric acid, respectively, was administered to mice and its effect on the conversion of [ 3H]tryptophan to 5-[ 3H]HT in the brain was measured. Although PAL significantly depleted plasma Tyr, it has little or no effect on either brain Tyr or catecholamine concentrations. Endogenous brain tryptophan levels were significantly increased 2 h after PAL administration, brain 5-HT was dramatically increased 4 h following PAL and each returned to baseline levels by 8 h. This return to baseline was accompanied by a marked decrease in the fraction of tryptophan converted to 5-HT during a 20 min pulse period preceding death, suggesting the activation of a compensatory decrease in 5-HT synthesis in response to increased 5-HT concentration. These data suggest that PAL administration readily produces reversible alterations in 5-HT synthesis and that this may be a fruitful approach to studying brain 5-HT function. 相似文献

Quinazolines - 1,3-benzodiazines are biological active compounds, which are used in the phamaceutical industry, in agriculture and in the medicine. As documented in the literature, many derivatives demonstrated anticancer activity and they act as multitarget agents. 3-(5-Nitro-2-thienyl)-9-chloro-5-morpholin-4-yl[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-c] quinazoline (NTCHMTQ) - a new synthetically prepared quinazoline derivative was the most effective derivative in our primary cytotoxic screening. In this study, we evaluated cytotoxic/antiproliferative activity of NTCHMTQ using human tumor cell line HeLa. Possible interaction of 3-(5-nitro-2-thienyl)-9-chloro-5-morpholin-4-yl[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-c] quinazoline with calf thymus DNA was tested by the DNA - modified screen - printed electrode. Quinazoline derivative acted cytotoxically on tumor cell line HeLa. The IC(100) value was 10 microg/ml. The IC(50) values was found to be less than 4 microg/ml, a limit put forward by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) for classification of he compound as a potential anticancer drug. Quinazoline at micromolar concentrations induced morphological changes and necrosis of HeLa cells. Using the DNA based electrochemical biosensor, we have not found damage to DNA under in vitro conditions at an incubation of the biosensor in mixture with quinazoline. 相似文献
