AbstractA series of N,N-dimethylcarbamates containing a N,N-dibenzylamino moiety was synthesized and tested to evaluate their ability to inhibit Acetylcholinesterase (AChE). The most active compounds 4 and 8, showed 85 and 69% of inhibition at 50?μM, respectively. Furthermore, some basic SAR rules were outlined: an alkyl linker of six methylene units is the best spacer between the carbamoyl and dibenzylamino moieties; electron-withdrawal substituents on aromatics rings of the dibenzylamino group reduce the inhibitory power. Compound 4 produces a slow onset inhibition of AChE and this is not due to the carbamoylation of the enzyme, as demonstrated by the time-dependent inhibition assay of AChE with compound 4 and by MALDI-TOF MS analysis of trypsinized AChE inhibited by compound 4. Instead, compound 4 could act as a slow-binding inhibitor of AChE, probably because of its high conformational freedom due to the linear alkyl chain. 相似文献

2-Methoxytetrahydropyran (1), -thiopyran (2) and -selenopyran (3) have been chosen as model compounds to investigate the origin of the anomeric effect (AE). The impacts of the hyperconjugation, electrostatic and steric interactions on the conformational preferences of compounds 1–3 have been analysed by means of complete basis set-4, hybrid-density functional theory (B3LYP/6-311+G**) based methods and natural bond orbital (NBO) interpretation. Both levels of theory showed that the axial conformations of compounds 1–3 are more stable than their equatorial conformations. The Gibbs free energy difference (G eq–G ax) values (i.e. ΔG eq–ax) between the axial and equatorial conformations increase from compound 1 to compound 2 but decrease from compound 2 to compound 3. Based on the NBO results obtained, the AE associated with the electron delocalisation [i.e. Σ(endo-AEeq + exo-AEeq) ? Σ(endo-AEax + exo-AEax)] increase slightly from compound 1 to compound 2 but decrease from compound 2 to compound 3. Similar trend is also observed for the differences between the calculated total steric exchange energy values [i.e. Δ(TSEE)eq–ax]. On the other hand, the calculated differences between the dipole moment values of the axial and equatorial conformations [i.e. Δ(μeq–μax)] decrease from compound 1 to compound 3. These findings led to the proposal that the AE associated with the electron delocalisation (the hyperconjugation effect) is more significant for the explanation of the conformational preferences of compounds 1–3 than the electrostatic model. The correlations between the AE associated with the electron delocalisation, bond orders, TSEE, ΔG eq–ax, dipole–dipole interactions, structural parameters and conformational behaviours of compounds 1–3 have been investigated. 相似文献

Inhibition of Bacillus anthracis metallo-β-lactamase by compounds with hydroxamic acid functionality

AbstractMetallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) that catalyze hydrolysis of β-lactam antibiotics are an emerging threat due to their rapid spread. A strain of the bacterium Bacillus anthracis has its ability to produce and secrete a MBL, referred to Bla2. To address this challenge, novel hydroxamic acid-containing compounds such as 3-(heptyloxy)-N-hydroxybenzamide (compound 4) and N-hydroxy-3-((6-(hydroxyamino)-6-oxohexyl)oxy)benzamide (compound 7) were synthesized. Kinetic analysis of microbial inhibition indicated that the both sides of hydroxamic acids containing compound 7 revealed a reversible, competitive inhibition with a Ki value of 0.18?±?0.06?μM. The result has reflected that the both sides of dihydroxamic acids in a molecule play a crucial role in the binding affinity rather than monohydroxamic containing compound 4 which was unable to inhibit Bla2. In addition, in silico analysis suggested that compound 7 was coordinated with a zinc ion in the active site of enzyme. These observations suggest that the dihydroxamic acid-containing compound may be a promising drug candidate, and a further implication for designing new inhibitors of Bla2. 相似文献

Abstract A series of naphthalene-chalcone derivatives (3a–3t) were prepared and evaluated as tubulin polymerisation inhibitor for the treatment of breast cancer. All compounds were evaluated for their antiproliferative activity against MCF-7 cell line. The most of compounds displayed potent antiproliferative activity. Among them, compound 3a displayed the most potent antiproliferative activity with an IC50 value of 1.42?±?0.15?µM, as compared to cisplatin (IC50?=?15.24?±?1.27?µM). Additionally, the promising compound 3a demonstrated relatively lower cytotoxicity on normal cell line (HEK293) compared to tumour cell line. Furthermore, compound 3a was found to induce significant cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase and cell apoptosis. Compound 3a displayed potent tubulin polymerisation inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 8.4?µM, which was slightly more active than the reference compound colchicine (IC50?=?10.6?µM). Molecular docking analysis suggested that 3a interact and bind at the colchicine binding site of the tubulin. 相似文献

The heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) represents a new avenue for cancer therapy. A novel benzolactam inhibitor, compound 31, showed a great selectivity for Hsp90α and Hsp90β against Grp94. However, the structural basis for the great selectivity of compound 31 for Hsp90α/β versus Grp94 remains poorly understood. In this study, we carried out molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations and binding free energy calculations (MM-GBSA) to address the isoform selective property. Molecular docking studies indicated the different binding modes of the Hsp90 and Grp94 with compound 31. The MM-GBSA calculations revealed that the hydrophobic interactions between compound 31 and proteins contributed the most to the binding affinity and the Grp94/compound 31 complex could result in a less energy-favourable complex compared with the Hsp90α/compound 31 and the Hsp90β/compound 31 complexes. This may render the weak binding of compound 31 to the Grp94. This study may be helpful for the future design of novel and selective Hsp90 inhibitors. 相似文献

1-(4,5-Dimethoxy-2-nitrophenyl)-2-nitroethene (1) was shown to be an irreversible inhibitor of papain (EC 3.4.22.2), causing a complete inhibition (120 min preincubation, pH 8.0), assuming that it attached to Cys-25 at the active site of the enzyme (while a short preincubation time caused activation). Only partial inhibition of papain was achieved, however, with 1,1-dicyano-2-(4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrophenyl)-ethene (2), a compound synthesized in this work, which is also an irreversible inhibitor of papain. Since both compounds 1 and 2, and in each case of the inhibited enzyme, were 2-nitrobenzyl derivatives, they and the modified enzyme were expected to be photosensitive. Indeed, irradiation of the inhibited enzyme in the presence of mercaptoethanol resulted in a full recovery of the enzyme activity following inactivation with compound 1 (similar to our previous finding with -galactosidase) and up to 67% recovery following inhibition with compound 2. 相似文献

The exomethylene of 6 was successfully constructed from the aldehyde 5 using Eschenmoser's reagents. A triene compound 7 was cyclized successfully using Grubbs’ II catalyst to give an exomethylene carbocycle nucleus for the target compound. A Mitsunobu reaction was successfully used to condense the natural bases (adenine, thymine, uracil, and cytosine). The synthesized cytosine analogue 20 showed moderate anti-HIV activity (EC50 = 10.67 μM). 相似文献

A new enantiomerically pure carbacyclic nucleoside analogue with bimorpholine as a nonaromatic nucleobase was synthesized. The nucleoside analogue and bimorpholine were tested for cytotoxicity using an MTT assay and the xCELLigence System. Both assays revealed that compound 3 was highly cytotoxic at a 50 μM concentration while the cytotoxic effect of compound 1 was much less prominent. No antiretroviral activity was detected for this compound. In contrast, it acted as a potent inhibitor of hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication. Most likely this effect originates largely from the cytotoxicity of the compound; however, it is possible that a specific mechanism of HCV inhibition also exists. 相似文献

AChE and BuChE are druggable targets for the discovery of anti-Alzheimer’s disease drugs, while dual-inhibition of these two targets seems to be more effective. In this study, we synthesised a series of novel isoflavone derivatives based on our hit compound G from in silico high-throughput screening and then tested their activities by in vitro AChE and BuChE bioassays. Most of the isoflavone derivatives displayed moderate inhibition against both AChE and BuChE. Among them, compound 16 was identified as a potent AChE/BuChE dual-targeted inhibitor (IC50: 4.60?μM for AChE; 5.92?μM for BuChE). Molecular modelling study indicated compound 16 may possess better pharmacokinetic properties, e.g. absorption, blood–brain barrier penetration and CYP2D6 binding. Taken together, our study has identified compound 16 as an excellent lead compound for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. 相似文献

ObjectiveTo test whether the serial measurement of maternal levels of compound W, a 3, 3′-diiodothyronine sulfate cross-reactive substance, can serve as a potential indicator of fetal thyroid function in pregnant women receiving antithyroid medication.MethodsCompound W was measured repeatedly in serum of pregnant women with hyperthyroidism treated with antithyroid medication. Free thyroxine levels of mothers and serum thyroid-stimulating hormone levels of 1-day-old neonates were analyzed by local clinical or state laboratories.ResultsUse of minimal antithyroid medication impaired the progressive increase of compound W seen in euthyroid mothers during pregnancy. At term, depressed compound W levels in maternal serum were found in 7 of 22 pregnancies; in 1 case, maternal compound W was suppressed and newborn thyroid-stimulating hormone was elevated. Seven mothers with treated hyperthyroidism failed to show an increase in serum levels of compound W after midterm.ConclusionNormal progression of maternal serum compound W may be an index of normal fetal thyroid development in mothers with hyperthyroidism treated with necessary antithyroid medication.

AbstractThe ability of flavonoids to affect multiple key pathways of glucose toxicity, as well as to attenuate inflammation has been well documented. In this study, the inhibition of rat lens aldose reductase by 3,7-di-hydroxy-2-[4-(2-chloro-1,4-naphthoquinone-3-yloxy)-3-hydroxy-phenyl]-5-hydroxy-chromen-4-one (compound 1), was studied in greater detail in comparison with the parent quercetin (compound 2). The inhibition activity of 1, characterized by IC50 in low micromolar range, surpassed that of 2. Selectivity in relation to the closely related rat kidney aldehyde reductase was evaluated. At organ level in isolated rat lenses incubated in the presence of high glucose, compound 1 significantly inhibited accumulation of sorbitol in a concentration-dependent manner, which indicated that 1 was readily taken up by the eye lens cells and interfered with cytosolic aldose reductase. In addition, compound 1 provided macroscopic protection of colonic mucosa in experimental colitis in rats. At pharmacologically active concentrations, compound 1 and one of its potential metabolite 2-chloro-3-hydroxy-[1,4]-naphthoquinone (compound 3) did not affect osmotic fragility of red blood cells. 相似文献

BackgroundHuman carbonic anhydrase 9th isoform (CA IX) is an important marker of numerous cancers and is increasingly interesting as a potential anticancer drug target. Various synthetic aromatic sulfonamide-bearing compounds are being designed as potent inhibitors of CA IX. However, sulfonamide compound binding to CA IX is linked to several reactions, the deprotonation of the sulfonamide amino group and the protonation of the CA active site Zn(II)-bound hydroxide. These linked reactions significantly affect the affinities and other thermodynamic parameters such as enthalpies and entropies of binding.MethodsThe observed and intrinsic affinities of compound binding to CA IX were determined by the fluorescent thermal shift assay. The enthalpies and entropies of binding were determined by the isothermal titration calorimetry.ResultsThe pKa of CA IX was determined to be 6.8 and the enthalpy of CA IX-Zn(II)-bound hydroxide protonation was − 24 kJ/mol. These values enabled the analysis of intrinsic thermodynamics of a library of compounds binding to CA IX. The most strongly binding compounds exhibited the intrinsic affinity of 0.01 nM and the observed affinity of 2 nM.ConclusionsThe intrinsic thermodynamic parameters of compound binding to CA IX helped to draw the compound structure to thermodynamics relationship.General significanceIt is important to distinguish the intrinsic from observed parameters of any disease target protein interaction with its inhibitors as drug candidates when drawing detailed compound structure to thermodynamics correlations. 相似文献

6-Azafulleroid-6-deoxy-2,3-di-O-myristoylcellulose (3) was synthesized from 6-azido-6-deoxycellulose (1) by two reaction steps. The myristoylation of compound 1 with myristoyl chloride/pyridine proceeded smoothly to give 6-azido-6-deoxy-2,3-di-O-myristoylcellulose (2) in 97.0% yield. The reaction of compound 2 with fullerene (C60) was carried out by microwave heating to afford compound 3 in high yield. It was found from FT-IR, 13C NMR, UV–vis, differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), SEC analyses that compound 3 was the expected C60-containing polymer. Consequently, maximum degree of substitution of C60 (DSC60) of compound 3 was 0.33. 相似文献

Several microbial cultures were screened for the ability to catalyse the reduction of N-(4-(1-oxo-2-chloroacetyl ethyl) phenyl methane sulfonamide (1). The chiral intermediate (+)N-(4-(1-hydroxy-2-chloroethyl) phenyl methane sulfonamide (2) was prepared by the stereoselective microbial reduction of the parent ketone 1. Compound 2 is a potential chiral intermediate for synthesis of 4-(2-isopropylamino-1-hydroxyethyl) phenyl methanesulfonanilide (d-sotalol), a beta-receptor antagonist. Microorganisms from the genera Rhodococcus, Nocardia, and Hansenula reduced 1 to 2. A reaction yield of >50% and optical purities of >90% were obtained. The best strain (H.polymorpha ATCC 26012) effectively reduced compound 1 to compound 2 in 95% reaction yield and 99% optical purity. Compound 2 (8.2 g) was isolated from a 3-1 preparative batch in 68% overall yield. Isolated compound 2 had a specific rotation of +20° (CH2Cl2, C-1), an optical purity of 99.5%, and a chemical purity of 97% as analyzed by gas chromatography and HPLC. The nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectra of compound 2 prepared by bioreduction and a standard chemical sample of 2 were virtually identical. Cell extracts of H. polymorpha in the presence of glucose dehydrogenase, glucose and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD +) catalyzed the reduction of 1 to 2 with 98% reaction yield and resulted in an optical purity of 99.4%.

BackgroundFurther quest for new anti-fungal compounds with proven mechanisms of action arises due to resistance and dose limiting toxicity of existing agents. Among the human fungal pathogens C. albicans predominate by infecting several sites in the body and in particular oral cavity and root canals of human tooth.MethodsIn the present study, we screened a library of β-lactam substituted polycyclic fused pyrrolidine/pyrrolizidine compounds against Candida sp. Detailed molecular studies were carried out with the active compound 3 on C. albicans. Morphological damage and antibiofilm activity of compound 3 on C. albicans was studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Biochemical evidence for membrane damage was studied using flow cytometry. In silico docking studies were carried out to elucidate the mechanism of action of compound 3. Further, the antifungal activity of compound 3 was evaluated in an ex vivo dentinal tubule infection model.ResultsScreening data showed that several new compounds were active against Candida sp. Among them, Compound 3 was most potent and exerted time kill effect at 4 h, post antifungal effect up to 6 h. When used in combination with fluconazole or nystatin, compound 3 revealed an minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) decrease by 4 fold for both drugs used. In-depth molecular studies with compound 3 on C. albicans showed that this compound inhibited yeast to hyphae (Y-H) conversion and this involved the cAMP pathway. Further, SEM images of C. albicans showed that compound 3 caused membrane damage and inhibited biofilm formation. Biochemical evidence for membrane damage was confirmed by increased propidium iodide (PI) uptake in flow cytometry. Further, in silico studies revealed that compound 3 docks with the active site of the key enzyme 14-α-demethylase and this might inhibit ergosterol synthesis. In support of this, ergosterol levels were found to be decreased by 32 fold in compound 3 treated samples as analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Further, the antifungal activity of compound 3 was evaluated in an ex vivo dentinal tubule infection model, which mimics human tooth root canal infection. Confocal laser scanning microscopy studies showed 83% eradication of C. albicans and a 6 log reduction in colony forming unit (CFU) after 24 h treatment in the infected tooth samples in this model.ConclusionCompound 3 was found to be very effective in eradicating C. albicans by inhibiting cAMP pathway and ergosterol biosynthesis.General SignificanceThe results of this study can pave the way for developing new antifungal agents with well deciphered mechanisms of action and can be a promising antifungal agent or medicament against root canal infection. 相似文献

N-[2-Naphthyl]-glycine hydrazide has been shown for the first time as a potent inhibitor of the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase
(EC 2.7.7.6) ofMycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv. At a concentration of 10-9 M, the compound shows maximum inhibition of the enzyme, the inhibition being less at higher concentrations. It is suggested
that the novel type of inhibition pattern may be due to hydrophobic interactions occurring between the molecules of the compound
at higher concentrations. The finding that there is a shift in the λmax of the compound could also account for this phenomenon. The effect of this compound was also tested on DNA-dependent RNA
polymerases from an eukaryotic fungus,Microsporum canis. At a concentration of 10−9 M it inhibits RNA polymerase II (32%) but not RNA polymerasesI andIII 相似文献

AbstractArachidonic acid is an unsaturated fatty acid liberated from phospholipids of cell membranes. NSAIDs are known as targets of cyclooxygenase enzyme (COX-1, COX-2 and COX-3) in arachidonic acid metabolism. This mechanism of COX-2 in carcinogenesis causes cancer. In addition, COX-2 plays a role in the early stages of hepatocarcinogenesis. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is cause of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The aim of our study was to improve effective agents against HCV. A novel series of new etodolac 1,2,4-triazoles derivatives (4a–h) have been synthesized and investigated for their activity against HCV NS5B polymerase. Compound 4a was found to be the most active with IC50 value of 14.8?µM. In accordance with these results, compound 4a was screened for anti-cancer activity on liver cancer cell lines (Huh7, Mahlavu, HepG2, FOCUS). Compound 4a showed anti-cancer activity against Huh7 human hepatoma cell line with IC50 value of 4.29?µM. Therefore, compound 4a could be considered as a new anti-cancer and anti-HCV lead compound. 相似文献

A theoretical study of a sandwich compound with a metal monolayer sheet between two aromatic ligands is presented. A full
geometry optimization of the [Au3Cl3Tr2]2+ (1) compound, which is a triangular gold(I) monolayer sheet capped by chlorines and bounded to two cycloheptatrienyl (Tr)
ligands was carried out using perturbation theory at the MP2 computational level and DFT. Compound (1) is in agreement with
the 18–electron rule, the bonding nature in the complex may be interpreted from the donation interaction coming from the Tr
rings to the Au array, and from the back-donation from the latter to the former. NICS calculations show a strong aromatic
character in the gold monolayer sheet and Tr ligands; calculations done with HOMA, also report the same aromatic behavior
on the cycloheptatrienyl fragments giving us an insight on the stability of (1). The Au –Au bond lengths indicate that an
intramolecular aurophilic interaction among the Au(I) cations plays an important role in the bonding of the central metal
sheet.

目的 蜜蜂天生具有丰富的嗅觉辨识能力,觅食、交配、导航以及社交活动均依赖其嗅觉系统,是研究嗅觉感知和学习记忆的行为及神经机制的理想模型。蜜蜂既能够将某个复合气味作为一个整体也可以将复合气味的各组成成分进行辨别和区分,但是在特征依赖的联合记忆中依据何种原则进行加工并存储到长期记忆还不清楚。方法 本文利用特征阳性(feature positive:AB+,B-)和特征阴性(feature negative:AB-,B+)的奖赏性嗅觉条件化,训练蜜蜂对复合气味和成分气味的辨别,并检测蜜蜂对复合气味(AB)、成分气味(B)以及特征气味(A)的中长时记忆(3 h)和长时记忆(24 h)。结果 在特征阳性的奖赏性嗅觉条件化中,蜜蜂对训练过的气味可以形成稳定的中长时和长时记忆,并且对复合气味中的特征气味的记忆与复合气味的记忆呈现高度相似。但在特征阴性的奖赏性嗅觉条件化中,蜜蜂虽能够在3 h和24 h对训练过的两种气味具有显著的伸喙反应差异,且对特征阴性的气味无显著反应,但对复合气味的反应随时间的推移而增加。结论 实验结果表明,蜜蜂选择性地将与奖赏信息联合出现的气味巩固到长时记忆中,但并未依据特征成分加工储存到长时记忆中。奖赏信息预示着食物源,与生存息息相关,表明对环境信息进行选择性的记忆巩固加工并储存可能是低等动物高效地编码生存相关信息的重要策略。 相似文献
