This research reports the fabrication of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from endophytic fungus, Amesia atrobrunnea isolated from Ziziphus spina-christi (L.). Influencing factors for instance, thermal degree of incubation, media, pH, and silver nitrate (AgNO3) molarity were optimized. Then, the AgNPs were encapsulated with chitosan (Ch-AgNPs) under microwave heating at 650 W for 90 s. Characterization of nanoparticles was performed via UV–visible (UV–vis) spectrophotometer, Fourier-transform infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR), zeta potential using dynamic-light scattering (DLS), and field-emission-scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). Anti-fungal activity of Ch-AgNPs at (50, 25, 12.5, 6.25 mg/L) was tested against Fusarium oxysporum, Curvularia lunata, and Aspergillus niger using the mycelial growth inhibition method (MGI). Results indicated that Czapek-dox broth (CDB) with 1 mM AgNO3, an acidic pH, and a temperature of 25–30 °C were the optimum for AgNPs synthesis. (UV–vis) showed the highest peak at 435 nm, whereas Ch-AgNPs showed one peak for AgNPs at 405 nm and another peak for chitosan at 230 nm. FTIR analysis confirmed that the capping agent chitosan was successfully incorporated and interacted with the AgNPs through amide functionalities. Z-potential was −19.7 mV for AgNPs and 38.9 mV for Ch-AgNPs, which confirmed the significant stability enhancement after capping. FES-SEM showed spherical AgNPs and a reduction in the nanoparticle size to 44.65 nm after capping with chitosan. The highest mycelial growth reduction using fabricated Ch-AgNPs was 93% for C. lunata followed by 77% for A. niger and 66% F. oxysporum at (50 mg/L). Biosynthesis of AgNPs using A. atrobrunnea cell-free extract was successful. Capping with chitosan exhibited antifungal activity against fungal pathogens. 相似文献

Unlike mammalian cells, Drosophila melanogaster contains only a single member of the diphosphoinositol polyphosphate phosphohydrolase subfamily of the Nudix hydrolases, suggesting that functional specialisation has not occurred in this organism. In order to evaluate its function, Aps was cloned and characterized. It hydrolyses a range of (di)nucleoside polyphosphates, the most efficient being guanosine 5′-tetraphosphate (Km = 11 μM, kcat = 0.79 s?1). However, it shows a 5-fold preference for the hydrolysis of diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate (PP-InsP5, Km = 0.07 μM, kcat = 0.024 s?1). Assayed at 26 °C, Aps had an alkaline pH optimum and required a divalent ion: Mg2+ (10–20 mM) or Mn2+ (1 mM) were preferred for nucleotide hydrolysis and Mg2+ (0.5–1 mM) or Co2+ (1–100 μM) for PP-InsP5 hydrolysis. GFP-fusions showed that Aps was predominantly cytoplasmic, with some nuclear localization. In the absence of dithiothreitol Aps was heat labile, rapidly losing activity even at 36 °C, while in the presence of dithiothreitol, Aps was heat stable, surviving for 5 min at 76 °C. Heat lability was restored by H2O2 and mass spectrometric analysis suggested that this was due to reversible dimerisation involving two inter-molecular disulphides between Cys23 and Cys25. Aps expression was highest in embryos and declined throughout development. The ratio of PP-InsP5 to inositol hexakisphosphate also decreased throughout development, with the highest level of PP-InsP5 found in embryos. These data suggest that the redox state of Aps may play a role in controlling its activity by altering its stability, something that could be important for regulating PP-InsP5 during development. 相似文献

Three classes of novel inhibitors of inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase have been prepared and their anti-proliferative properties were evaluated against several cancer cell lines.(1) Mycophenolic adenine dinucleotide analogues (8–13) containing a substituent at the C2 of adenine ring were found to be potent inhibitors of IMPDH (Ki’s in range of 0.6–82 nM) and sub-μM inhibitors of leukemic K562 cell proliferation. (2) Mycophenolic adenosine (d and l) esters (20 and 21) showed a potent inhibition of IMPDH2 (Ki = 102 and Ki = 231 nM, respectively) and inhibition of K562 cell growth (IC50 = 0.5 and IC50 = 1.6 μM). These compounds serve both as inhibitors of the enzyme and as a depot form of mycophenolic acid. The corresponding amide analogue 22, also a potent inhibitor of IMPDH (Ki = 84 nM), did not inhibit cancer cell proliferation. (3) Mycophenolic-(l)- and (d)-valine adenine di-amide derivatives 25 (Ki = 9 nM) and 28 (Ki = 3 nM) were found to be very potent enzymatically, but did not inhibit proliferation of cancer cells. 相似文献

Cassava peroxidase (CSP) isolated from cassava leaves (Manihot esculenta Crantz of cv. KU50) was purified by DEAE and concanavalin-A column chromatography. CSP was a haem-containing cationic glycoprotein with the molecular weight of 38 and 44 kDa determined by MALDI-TOF-MS. Its kinetic catalysis in the presence and absence of some thiols were investigated and compared to those of horseradish and soybean peroxidases by using urea hydrogen peroxide (UHP) and 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) as substrates. Inhibitory effects of some pesticides containing thiol groups such as thiosemicabazide, thiourea and thiophanate-methyl on TMB oxidation were graphically demonstrated their ability to be either competitive or noncompetitive inhibitors, depending on their properties. The degrees of inhibition were expressed as Ki and IC50 values. The applicable range for the detection of thiosemicabazide in solution was found to be in the range of 10–100 μM, whereas those of thiourea and thiophanate-methyl were 40–400 μM and 10–460 μM, respectively. On the contrary, the inhibitory effects of some phenolic pollutants; 4-nitrophenol, 4-phenylphenol and pentachlorophenol on TMB oxidation were not significantly observed and the phenomenon was discussed. 相似文献

The RAS–RAF–MEK–ERK pathway is hyperactivated in 30% of human cancers. BRAF is a serine–threonine kinase, belonging to this pathway that is mutated with high frequency in human melanoma and other cancers thus BRAF is an important therapeutic target in melanoma. We have designed inhibitors of BRAF based on 2,4,5-trisubstituted imidazoles with naphthyl and benzothiophene-4-substituents. Two compounds were discovered to be potent BRAF inhibitors: 1-(6-{2-[4-(2-dimethylamino-ethoxy)phenyl]-5-(pyridin-4-yl)-1H-imidazol-4-yl} benzo[b]thiophen-3-yl)-2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (1i) with BRAF IC50 = 190 nM and with cellular GI50 = 2100 nM, and 6-{2-[4-(2-dimethylamino-ethoxy)-phenyl]-5-pyridin-4-yl-3H-imidazol-4-yl}-naphthalen-1-ol (1q) with IC50 = 9 nM and GI50 = 220 nM. 相似文献

Intermedin/adrenomedullin-2 (IMD) is a member of the adrenomedullin/CGRP peptide family. Less is known about the distribution of IMD than for other family members within the mammalian cardiovascular system, particularly in humans. The aim was to evaluate plasma IMD levels in healthy subjects and patients with chronic heart failure. IMD and its precursor fragments, preproIMD25–56 and preproIMD57–92, were measured by radioimmunoassay in 75 healthy subjects and levels of IMD were also compared to those of adrenomedullin (AM) and mid-region proadrenomedullin45–92 (MRproAM45–92) in 19 patients with systolic heart failure (LVEF < 45%). In healthy subjects, plasma levels (mean + SE) of IMD (6.3 + 0.6 pg ml−1) were lower than, but correlated with those of AM (25.8 + 1.8 pg ml−1; r = 0.49, p < 0.001). Plasma preproIMD25–56 (39.6 + 3.1 pg ml−1), preproIMD57–92 (25.9 + 3.8 pg ml−1) and MRproAM45–92 (200.2 + 6.7 pg ml−1) were greater than their respective bioactive peptides. IMD levels correlated positively with BMI but not age, and were elevated in heart failure (9.8 + 1.3 pg ml−1, p < 0.05), similarly to MRproAM45–92 (329.5 + 41.9 pg ml−1, p < 0.001) and AM (56.8 + 10.9 pg ml−1, p < 0.01). IMD levels were greater in heart failure patients with concomitant renal impairment (11.3 + 1.8 pg ml−1) than those without (6.5 + 1.0 pg ml−1; p < 0.05). IMD and AM were greater in patients receiving submaximal compared with maximal heart failure drug therapy and were decreased after 6 months of cardiac resynchronization therapy. In conclusion, IMD is present in the plasma of healthy subjects less abundantly than AM, but is similarly correlated weakly with BMI. IMD levels are elevated in heart failure, especially with concomitant renal impairment, and tend to be reduced by high intensity drug or pacing therapy. 相似文献

The present study was undertaken to gain insight into the associations of mercury(II) with dicysteinyl tripeptides in buffered media at pH 7.4. We investigated the effects of increasing the distance between cysteinyl residues on mercury(II) associations and complex formations. The peptide–mercury(II) formation constants and their associated thermodynamic parameters in 3-(N-morpholino)propanesulfonic acid (MOPS) buffered solutions were evaluated by isothermal titration calorimetry. Complexes formed in different relative ratios of mercury(II) to cysteinyl peptides in ammonium formate buffered solutions were characterized by LTQ Orbitrap mass spectrometry. The results from these studies show that n-alkyl dicysteinyl peptides (CP 1–4), and an aryl dicysteinyl peptide (CP 5) can serve as effective “double anchors” to accommodate the coordination sites of mercury(II) to form predominantly one-to-one Hg(peptide) complexes. The aryl dicysteinyl peptide (CP 5) also forms the two-to-two Hg2(peptide)2 complex. In the presence of excess peptide, Hg(peptide)2 complexes are also detected. Notably, increasing the distance between the ligating groups or “anchor points” in CP 1–5 does not significantly affect their affinity for mercury(II). However, the enthalpy change (ΔH) values (ΔH1 ∼ −91 kJ mol−1 and ΔH2 ∼ −66 kJ mol−1) for complex formation between CP 4 and 5 with mercury(II) are about one and a half times larger than the related values for CP 1, 2 and 3 (ΔH1 ∼ −66 kJ mol−1 and ΔH2 ∼ 46 kJ mol−1). The corresponding entropy change (ΔS) values (ΔS1 ∼ −129 J K−1 mol−1 and ΔS2 ∼ −116 J K−1 mol−1) of the structurally larger dicysteinyl peptides CP 4 and 5 are less entropically favorable than for CP 1, 2 and 3 (ΔS1 ∼ −48 J K−1 mol−1 and ΔS2 ∼ −44 J K−1 mol−1). Generally, these associations result in a decrease in entropy, indicating that these peptide–mercury complexes potentially form highly ordered structures. The results from this study show that dicysteinyl tripeptides are effective in binding mercury(II) and they are promising motifs for the design of multi-cysteinyl peptides for binding more than one mercury(II) ion per peptide. 相似文献

The development of parasites and pathogens resistant to synthetic drugs highlighted the needing of novel, eco-friendly and effective control approaches. Recently, metal nanoparticles have been proposed as highly effective tools towards cancer cells and Plasmodium parasites. In this study, we synthesized silver nanoparticles (EW–AgNP) using Eudrilus eugeniae earthworms as reducing and stabilizing agents. EW–AgNP showed plasmon resonance reduction in UV–vis spectrophotometry, the functional groups involved in the reduction were studied by FTIR spectroscopy, while particle size and shape was analyzed by FESEM. The effect of EW–AgNP on in vitro HepG2 cell proliferation was measured using MTT assays. Apoptosis assessed by flow cytometry showed diminished endurance of HepG2 cells and cytotoxicity in a dose-dependent manner. EW–AgNP were toxic to Anopheles stephensi larvae and pupae, LC50 were 4.8 ppm (I), 5.8 ppm (II), 6.9 ppm (III), 8.5 ppm (IV), and 15.5 ppm (pupae). The antiplasmodial activity of EW–AgNP was evaluated against CQ-resistant (CQ-r) and CQ-sensitive (CQ-s) strains of Plasmodium falciparum. EW–AgNP IC50 were 49.3 μg/ml (CQ-s) and 55.5 μg/ml (CQ-r), while chloroquine IC50 were 81.5 μg/ml (CQ-s) and 86.5 μg/ml (CQ-r). EW–AgNP showed a valuable antibiotic potential against important pathogenic bacteria and fungi. Concerning non-target effects of EW–AgNP against mosquito natural enemies, the predation efficiency of the mosquitofish Gambusia affinis towards the II and II instar larvae of A. stephensi was 68.50% (II) and 47.00% (III), respectively. In EW–AgNP-contaminated environments, predation was boosted to 89.25% (II) and 70.75% (III), respectively. Overall, this research highlighted the EW–AgNP potential against hepatocellular carcinoma, Plasmodium parasites and mosquito vectors, with little detrimental effects on mosquito natural enemies. 相似文献

The series of nitrosyl complexes trans-[Ru(NH3)4L(NO)]Cl3, L = caffeine, theophylline, imidazole and benzoimidazole in position trans to NO were prepared and their photochemical properties studied. All complexes showed nitric oxide (NO) release under light irradiation at 330–440 nm. Quantum yields for [Ru(NH3)4L(H2O)]3+ formation (?Ru(III)) were sensitive to the natures of L, λirr and pH. The major product of the irradiation of trans-[Ru(NH3)4L(NO+)]3+ is the trans-[RuIII(NH3)4L(Cl)]2+ and NO as suggested by UV–Vis, electrochemical, and FTIR techniques. 相似文献

Background: It has been suggested that the serine/threonine kinase 15 (STK15) T91A rs2273535 polymorphism is associated with susceptibility to cancer. However, the results are conflicting. We performed this meta-analysis to derive a more precise estimation of the relationship. Methods: PubMed was searched to select studies. Case–control studies containing available genotype frequencies of the STK15 rs2273535 polymorphism were chosen, and the odds ratio (OR) with its 95% confidence interval (CI) was utilized to assess the strength of association. Results: 52 studies – including 34,057 cases and 40,839 controls – were identified. A significant effect of the STK15 rs2273535 polymorphism on cancer risk was found (AA vs. TT: OR = 1.13, 95%CI = 1.01–1.26, Pheterogeneity < 0.001; AA vs. TA/TT: OR = 1.12, 95%CI = 1.02–1.22, Pheterogeneity < 0.001; TA/AA vs. TT: OR = 1.06, 95%CI = 1.01–1.12, Pheterogeneity < 0.001). Stratified analysis by cancer type revealed that the STK rs2273535 polymorphism may contribute to the risk of breast cancer (AA vs. TT: OR = 1.21, 95%CI = 1.01–1.44, Pheterogeneity = 0.002), colorectal cancer (AA vs. TA/TT: OR = 1.24, 95%CI = 1.05–1.47, Pheterogeneity = 0.124), and esophageal cancer (AA vs. TA/TT: OR = 1.19, 95%CI = 1.02–1.39, Pheterogeneity = 0.148). Further subgroup analysis by ethnicity indicated that there was a statistically increased cancer risk in Asians (AA vs. TA/TT: OR = 1.20, 95%CI = 1.05–1.37, Pheterogeneity = 0.004). Conclusion: This meta-analysis suggests that the STK15 rs2273535 polymorphism is a candidate gene polymorphism for cancer susceptibility, especially in Asian populations. 相似文献

A prospective observational study was carried out at Alder Hey Children's Hospital, Liverpool, England, UK on children aged 1–6 years attending the pathology department for routine blood tests (n = 225). Whole blood manganese concentrations were measured plus the following markers of iron status; haemoglobin, MCV, MCH, RBC count, ferritin, transferrin saturation and soluble transferrin receptors. Multiple regression analysis was performed, with blood manganese as the dependent variable and factors of iron status, age and gender as independent variables. A strong relationship between blood manganese and iron deficiency was demonstrated (adjusted R2 = 34.3%, p < 0.001) and the primary contributing factors to this relationship were haematological indices and soluble transferrin receptors. Subjects were categorised according to iron status using serum ferritin, transferrin saturation and haemoglobin indices. Children with iron deficiency anaemia had higher median blood manganese concentrations (16.4 μg/L, range 11.7–42.4, n = 20) than children with iron sufficiency (11 μg/L, range 5.9–20.9, n = 59, p < 0.001). This suggests that children with iron deficiency anaemia may be at risk from manganese toxicity (whole blood manganese >20 μg/L), and that this may lead to neurological problems. Treatment of iron deficiency in children is important both to improve iron status and to reduce the risk of manganese toxicity. 相似文献

Two series of new thiazolidin-4-one derivatives 4a–c and 8a–e were designed and prepared. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in vitro COX-2 selectivity and anti-inflammatory activity in vivo. Compounds 8c and 8d showed the best overall in vitro COX-2 selectivity (selectivity indexes of 4.56 and 5.68 respectively) and in vivo activities (edema inhibition % = 61.8 and 67 after 3 h, respectively) in comparison with the reference drug celecoxib (S.I. = 7.29, edema inhibition % = 60 after 3 h). In addition, 8c and 8d were evaluated for their mean effective anti-inflammatory doses (ED50 = 27.7 and 18.1 μmol/kg respectively, celecoxib ED50 = 28.2 μmol/kg) and ulcerogenic liability (reduction in ulcerogenic potential versus celecoxib = 85%, 92% respectively. Molecular docking studies were performed and the results were in agreement with that obtained from the in vitro COX inhibition assays. 相似文献

Fluorophores that are conjugated with N-methylpyrrole-N-methylimidazole (Py–Im) polyamides postulates versatile applications in biological and physicochemical studies. Here, we show the design and synthesis of new types of pyrene-conjugated hairpin Py–Im polyamides (1–5). We evaluated the steady state fluorescence of the synthesized conjugates (1–5) in the presence and absence of oligodeoxynucleotides 5′-CGTATGGACTCGG-3′ (ODN 1) and 5′-CCGAGTCCATACG-3′ (ODN 2) and observed a distinct increase in emission at 386 nm with conjugates 4 and 5. Notably, conjugate 5 that contains a β-alanine linker had a stronger binding affinity (KD = 1.73 × 10?8 M) than that of conjugate 4 (KD = 1.74 × 10?6 M). Our data suggests that Py–Im polyamides containing pyrene fluorophore with a β-alanine linker at the γ-turn NH2 position can be developed as the competent fluorescent DNA-binding probes. 相似文献

Gemini surfactants from the homologous series of alkane-α,ω-diyl-bis(dodecyldimethylammonium bromide) (CnCS12, number of spacer carbons n = 2 – 12) and dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE) were used for cationic liposome (CL) preparation. CLs condense highly polymerized DNA creating complexes. Small-angle X-ray diffraction identified them as condensed lamellar phase LαC in the studied range of molar ratios CnGS12/DOPE in the temperature range 20 – 60 °C. The DNA–DNA distance (dDNA) is studied in dependence to CnGS12 spacer length and membrane surface charge density. The high membrane surface charge densities (CnGS12/DOPE = 0.35 and 0.4 mol/mol) lead to the linear dependence of dDNA vs. n correlating with the interfacial area of the CnGS12 molecule. 相似文献

A 1,8-naphthalimide–Cu(II) ensemble was rationally designed and synthesized as a new turn-on fluorescent probe utilizing the ‘chemosensing ensemble’ method for detections of thiols (Cys, Hcy and GSH) with high selectivity over other α-amino acids at pH 7.4 in organic aqueous media (EtOH/HEPES, v/v = 9:1). The recognition mechanism was attributed to the remove Cu(II) from the 1,8-naphthalimide–Cu(II) ensemble by thiols and the release of flurescence of ligand 1. Remarkable fluorescence enhancements were therefore observed in the sensing process of thiols by the 1,8-naphthalimide–Cu(II) ensemble. Furthermore, the 1,8-naphthalimide–Cu(II) ensemble was successfully applied to the fluorescence imaging of thiols in CHO cells with high sensitivity and selectivity. 相似文献

The essential oil of Ajuga pseudoiva, collected from Tunisia, was analyzed using gas chromatography–mass spectroscopy. Thirty-two compounds accounting for 95.76% of the total oil were identified. Sesquiterpenes were found to be the most abundant components of A. pseudoiva oil. And they were mainly represented by viridiflorol (30.17%), germacrene B (9.26%) (α, β and γ)-eudesmol (8.11%) and aromadendrene (7.45%). The essential oil of A. pseudoiva showed radical scavengers activity (IC50 = 0.72 mg/mL) and displayed lipid peroxidation inhibitory activity (IC50 = 0.6 mg/mL). A. pseudoiva essential oil was also found to exhibit a dose-dependent ACE inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 65.5 μg/mL. Moreover, the antimicrobial activity of the essential oil was tested against 17 species of microorganisms, and the results obtained showed significant antibacterial activity against the Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, with inhibition zones and minimal inhibitory concentration values of 14–32 mm and 84–137 μg/mL and 6–21 mm and 105–336 μg/mL, respectively. Higher activity was also found against several fungal strains. 相似文献

A series of nickel(II) and palladium(II) complexes containing one or two pentafluorophenyl ligands and the phosphino-amides o-Ph2PC6H4CONHR [R = iPr (a), Ph (b)] displaying different coordination modes have been synthesised. The chelating ability of these ligands and the influence of both coligands and the metal centre in their potential hemilabile behaviour have been explored. The crystal structure of (b) has been determined and reveals N–H⋯O intermolecular hydrogen bonding. Bis-pentafluorophenyl derivatives [M(C6F5)2(o-Ph2PC6H4CO-NHR)] [M = Ni; R = iPr (1a); R = Ph (1b); M = Pd; R = iPr (2a); R = Ph (2b)] in which (a) and (b) act as rigid P, O-chelating ligands were readily prepared from the labile precursors cis-[M(C6F5)2(PhCN)2]. X-ray structures of (1a), (1b) and (2a) have been established, allowing an interesting comparative structural discussion. Dinuclear [{Pd(C6F5)(tht)(μ-Cl)}2] reacted with (a) and (b) yielding the monopentafluorophenyl complexes [Pd(C6F5)Cl{PPh2(C6H4–CONH–R)}] (R = iPr (3a), Ph (3b)) that showed a P, O-chelating behaviour of the ligands, confirmed by the crystal structure determination of (3a). New cationic palladium(II) complexes in which (a) and (b) behave as P-monodentate ligands have been synthesised by reacting them with [{Pd(C6F5)(tht)(μ-Cl)}2], stoichiometric Ag(O3SCF3) and external chelating reagents such as cod [Pd(C6F5)(cod){PPh2(C6H4-CONH-R)}](O3SCF3)(R = iPr (4a), Ph (4b)) and 2,2′-bipy [Pd(C6F5)(bipy){PPh2(C6H4-CONH-R)}](O3SCF3) (R = iPr (5a), Ph (5b)). When chloride abstraction in [{Pd(C6F5)(tht)(μ-Cl)}2] is promoted by means of a dithioanionic salt as dimethyl dithiophospate in the presence of (a) or (b), the corresponding neutral complexes [Pd(C6F5){S(S)P(OMe)2}{PPh2(C6H4-CONH-R)}] (R = iPr (6a), Ph (6b)) were obtained. 相似文献

Nine acylated iridoid glycosides (1–9), five acylated rhamnopyranoses (10–14) and verbascoside (15) were isolated from Gmelina arborea flowers, including 5 new compounds (1, 2, and 10–12). The cytoprotective activity of 11 selected compounds (1–8, 10, 11, and 15) against CCl4-induced cytotoxicity on liver was determined. Compounds 1, 2, 4, 7, 8 and 15 displayed hepatoprotective activity. 6-O-α-l-(2″, 3″-di-O-trans-p-hydroxycinnamoyl)rhamnopyranosylcatalpol (2) exhibited the most potent cytoprotective effect with an EC50 value of 42.5 μM (SI = 19.3) compared with biphenyldimethylesterate (DDB, EC50 = 277.3 μM, SI = 9.8) and bicylo-ethanol (EC50 = 279.2 μM, SI = 12.2). Among the acylated iridoid glycosides, the compounds (2 and 8) containing phenolic hydroxy groups were more active than were those lacking them. 相似文献

A series of 19 new compounds related to pyrazinamide were synthesized, characterized with analytical data and screened for in vitro whole cell antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv, Mycobacterium kansasii and two types of Mycobacterium avium. The series consisted of 3-(benzylamino)-5-cyanopyrazine-2-carboxamides and 3-(benzylamino)pyrazine-2,5-dicarbonitriles with various substituents on the phenyl ring. RP-HPLC method was used to determine the lipophilicity of the prepared compounds. Nine compounds exerted similar or better activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis compared to pyrazinamide (MIC = 6.25–12.5 μg/mL). 3-(Benzylamino)pyrazine-2,5-dicarbonitrile inhibited all of the tested mycobacterial strains with MIC within the range 12.5–25 μg/mL. Although not the most active, 4-NH2 substituted compounds possessed the lowest in vitro cytotoxicity (hepatotoxicity), leading to selectivity index SI = 5.5 and SI >21. 相似文献

Seasonal dynamics in the polyphenolic composition, antioxidant activity, and their relationships during plant development were evaluated for eastern teaberry (Gaultheria procumbens L.) leaves, a traditional herbal medicine of North American natives. With the complementary UHPLC-PDA-ESI-MS3, HPLC-PDA-fingerprint, Folin-Ciocalteau, and n-butanol/HCl assays of methanol-water (75:25, v/v) extracts, the dried leaf samples harvested monthly across the growing season under Polish climate conditions were found rich in structurally diverse polyphenols (149.2–210.7 mg/g DW) including the dominating salicylates (64.6–107.5 mg/g DW), proanthocyanidins (53.0–66.8 mg/g DW), and flavonoids (17.3–25.3 mg/g DW), and the accompanying chlorogenic acid isomers (2.4–4.4 mg/g DW) and simple phenolic acids (0.9–1.1 mg/g DW). Among 28 detected analytes, gaultherin (64.6–107.5 mg/g DW), miquelianin (14.6–21.1 mg/g DW), procyanidin A-type trimer (5.5–9.5 mg/g DW), and (–)-epicatechin (5.8–7.8 mg/g DW) were the most abundant. The phenolic levels and antioxidant activity parameters in the DPPH (EC50, 15.0–18.2 μg DW/mL; 0.95–1.16 mmol Trolox equivalents/g DW) and FRAP (2.3–3.4 mmol Fe 2+/g DW; 0.86–1.26 mmol Trolox equivalents/g DW) assays showed parallel seasonal trends with maxima in September and October. As the subsequent correlation studies confirmed the determinative impact of polyphenols on the leaf antioxidant activity and its seasonal fluctuations, the Fall season could be recommended as optimal for harvesting the plant material for medicinal purposes and cost-effective production of natural health products. 相似文献
