Nitrones have the general chemical formula X-CH=NO-Y. They were first used to trap free radicals in chemical systems and then subsequently in biochemical systems. More recently several nitrones, including alpha-phenyl-tert-butylnitrone (PBN), have been shown to have potent biological activity in many experimental animal models. Many diseases of aging, including stroke, cancer development, Parkinson disease, and Alzheimer disease, are known to have enhanced levels of free radicals and oxidative stress. Some derivatives of PBN are significantly more potent than PBN and have undergone extensive commercial development for stroke. Recent research has shown that PBN-related nitrones also have anti-cancer activity in several experimental cancer models and have potential as therapeutics in some cancers. Also, in recent observations nitrones have been shown to act synergistically in combination with antioxidants in the prevention of acute acoustic-noise-induced hearing loss. The mechanistic basis of the potent biological activity of PBN-related nitrones is not known. Even though PBN-related nitrones do decrease oxidative stress and oxidative damage, their potent biological anti-inflammatory activity and their ability to alter cellular signaling processes cannot readily be explained by conventional notions of free radical trapping biochemistry. This review is focused on our studies and others in which the use of selected nitrones as novel therapeutics has been evaluated in experimental models in the context of free radical biochemical and cellular processes considered important in pathologic conditions and age-related diseases. 相似文献

The system of double coaxial cylinders filled with water was used as a device for studying simple extrapolation behaviour of rats. The amount of rats which were able to dive under the lower edge of the inner cylinder, without reaching the bottom of the outer cylinder and the latency of this avoidance reaction were considered as a measure of extrapolation ability. This reaction was altered by the pretreatment of animals with cycloheximide, a protein synthesis inhibitor. Piracetam as a standard nootropic, sodium and lithium hydroxybutyrate as substances with a potential nootropic effect were shown to be able to antagonize the damaging effect of cycloheximide on the avoidance performance. Benzodiazepine tranquilizer, phenazepam, in contrast to nootropics, evokes additional worsening of extrapolation reaction. Normalization of avoidance disturbed by cycloheximide, can be used as an adequate and informative approach for screening of nootropics. 相似文献

Monoamine oxidase (MAO) is a flavin-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the oxidative deamination of a variety of amine neurotransmitters and toxic amines. Although there have been several studies that support the intermediacy of an amine radical cation and an -radical during enzyme catalysis, there is no direct, i.e. EPR, evidence for these species as they are formed. Amino nitrones have been designed which, upon radical formation would produce an intermediate that is a resonance structure of the corresponding nitroxyl radical, which should be observable by EPR spectroscopy. Syntheses of seven different amino nitrones, three acyclic, and four cyclic analogues were attempted. The protected amino nitrones were stable, but all three of the acyclic amino nitrones were unstable. One of the cyclic analogues was very stable (39), one was stable only in organic solvents (40), one was stable only in aqueous medium below pH 6.5 (41), and the other (42) was stable for just a short time at room temperature, decomposing to a stable free radical. None of these analogues produced a MAO-catalyzed radical, yet 41 is a poor substrate (Km = 0.2 mM; kcat = 0.034 min−1) and 39 is a mixed inhibitor (Ki = 26.5 mM). Although this approach does not appear to be applicable to amino nitrones, it should be a valuable approach for other enzymes where radical intermediates are suspected and nonamine nitrones can be utilized. 相似文献

Abstract: Oxidative damage in the CNS is proposed to play a role in many acute and chronic neurodegenerative disorders. Accordingly, the nitrone spin trap α-phenyl- N - tert -butylnitrone (PBN), which reacts covalently with free radicals, has shown efficacy in a variety of animal models of CNS injury. We have synthesized a number of cyclic variants of PBN and examined their activity as radical traps and protectants against oxidative damage in CNS tissue. By using electron spin resonance spectroscopy, the cyclic nitrones MDL 101,002 and MDL 102,832 were shown to trap radicals in a manner similar to that of PBN. All cyclic nitrones tested prevented hydroxyl radical-dependent degradation of 2-deoxyribose and peroxyl radical-dependent oxidation of synaptosomes more potently than PBN. The radical scavenging properties of the cyclic nitrones contributed to a three- to 25-fold increase in potency relative to PBN against oxidative damage and cytotoxicity in cerebellar granule cell cultures. Similar to the phenolic antioxidant MDL 74,722, the nitrones minimized seizures and delayed the time to death in mice following central injection of ferrous iron. Although iron-induced lipid peroxidation was inhibited by MDL 74,722, the nitrones had no effect on this biochemical end point, indicating that iron-induced mortality does not result solely from lipid peroxidation and suggesting additional neuroprotective properties for the nitrones. These results indicate that cyclic nitrones are more potent radical traps and inhibitors of lipid peroxidation in vitro than PBN, and their ability to delay significantly iron-induced mortality in vivo suggests they may be useful in the treatment of acute and chronic neurodegeneration. Furthermore, the stability of the spin trap adducts of the cyclic nitrones provides a new tool for the study of oxidative tissue injury. 相似文献

17 beta-Hydroxylamine derivatives of 8 beta and 8 alpha-estrone can be obtained by reduction of the corresponding oximes with diborane or NaCNBH3. The products can be converted easily and reversibly to nitrones by addition of aldehydes or ketones. The nitrones are more stable than the corresponding hydroxylamines, and may be used as protecting groups. 相似文献

The use of nitrose compounds and nitrones as spin traps for the detection of short-lived inorganic radicals is discussed. To a certain degree nitrones and nitroso compounds are complementary. While nitroso compounds are superior with respect to spin trapping metal-centred radicals, nitrones form more persistent spin adducts with most small inorganic radicals.
Erroneous results may be obtained when hydrolysis and redox reactions involving the spin adducts are ignored. Spin trapping of pseudohalide radicals (·Nj· ·CN, ·SCN) are discussed in more detail. 相似文献

Background
Few studies have examined the contribution of treatment on the mortality of dementia based on a population-based study.Objective
To investigate the effects of anti-dementia and nootropic treatments on the mortality of dementia using a population-based cohort study.Methods
12,193 incident dementia patients were found from 2000 to 2010. Their data were compared with 12,193 age- and sex-matched non-dementia controls that were randomly selected from the same database. Dementia was classified into vascular (VaD) and degenerative dementia. Mortality incidence and hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated.Results
The median survival time was 3.39 years (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.88–3.79) for VaD without medication, 6.62 years (95% CI: 6.24–7.21) for VaD with nootropics, 3.01 years (95% CI: 2.85–3.21) for degenerative dementia without medication, 8.11 years (95% CI: 6.30–8.55) for degenerative dementia with anti-dementia medication, 6.00 years (95% CI: 5.73–6.17) for degenerative dementia with nootropics, and 9.03 years (95% CI: 8.02–9.87) for degenerative dementia with both anti-dementia and nootropic medications. Compared to the non-dementia group, the HRs among individuals with degenerative dementia were 2.69 (95% CI: 2.55–2.83) without medication, 1.46 (95% CI: 1.39–1.54) with nootropics, 1.05 (95% CI: 0.82–1.34) with anti-dementia medication, and 0.92 (95% CI: 0.80–1.05) with both nootropic and anti-dementia medications. VaD with nootropics had a lower mortality (HR: 1.25, 95% CI: 1.15–1.37) than VaD without medication (HR: 2.46, 95% CI: 2.22–2.72).Conclusion
Pharmacological treatments have beneficial effects for patients with dementia in prolonging their survival. 相似文献8.

Nitrone-containing compounds are commonly employed as spin traps of free radical species in chemical and biological studies. Some molecules as α-phenyl-N-t-butyl nitrone (PBN) and its derivatives have been tested as potential drugs to treat oxidative stress related diseases, as Alzheimer and stroke for example. In this work we report the design and the synthesis of α-aryl-N-aryl nitrones and their cytoprotection profile on human neuroblastoma cells (SH-SY5Y) under induced oxidative stress. All the nine synthesized nitrones showed a significant response at low micromolar concentration. The selected compound 8 (α-phenyl-N-phenyl nitrone) increased the reduced glutathione (GSH) levels by 65% and lowered the necrotic cell death from 25.8% to 3.8%. Based on our data, the designed highly conjugated nitrone double-bond skeleton can be considered as a good scaffold for further studies regarding oxidative stress-related diseases. 相似文献

Nitrones 4-7, structurally related to PBN (1), were prepared by reaction of the corresponding aromatic aldehydes with N-tert-butyl hydroxylamine. The protective effects of these nitrones against microvascular damages in ischemia/reperfusion in the 'hamster cheek pouch' assay were studied and 1, as well as 4a, 4b, and 7 (derived from piperonal, O-benzyl vanillin, and furfural, respectively), showed to be more active than shark cartilage or alpha-tocopherol. No correlation was found between the protective effect of these nitrones and their logP (partition coefficient) or their capacity to trap (*)OH and (*)CH(3) radicals. 相似文献

N-Alquil nitrones 1c and 3–6 were prepared from aromatic aldehydes and N-tert-butylhydroxylamine or N-methylhydroxylamine in good yields and soft conditions. Their protective effect against microvascular damages caused by ischemia/reperfusion in ‘hamster cheek pouch’ assay was investigated and compare with that observed for nitrones 1a,b and 2, previously studied. Nitrones 3b, 4b and 4c were the most active ones in inhibiting macromolecular permeability increase induced by ischemia/reperfusion when administered by gavage and intravenous, while 3a and 4a were active only after intravenous administration. N-tert-butylhydroxylamine and Nt-methylhydroxylamine, products of the hydrolysis of these nitrones, were weakly active when administered by gavage or intravenous. Nitrone (4a) was the most potent in inhibiting macromolecular permeability increase induced by histamine. In this case, N-tert-butylhydroxylamine was as active as 4a. The lypophylicity in nitrones, specially in N-methyl nitrones, play an important role on the protective action when compounds were administered by gavage. 相似文献

Impairment of mitochondrial metabolism, particularly the electron transport chain (ETC), as well as increased oxidative stress might play a significant role in pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Some effects of drugs used for symptomatic AD treatment may be related to their direct action on mitochondrial function. In vitro effects of pharmacologically different cognitives (galantamine, donepezil, rivastigmine, 7-MEOTA, memantine) and nootropic drugs (latrepirdine, piracetam) were investigated on selected mitochondrial parameters: activities of ETC complexes I, II + III, and IV, citrate synthase, monoamine oxidase (MAO), oxygen consumption rate, and hydrogen peroxide production of pig brain mitochondria. Complex I activity was decreased by galantamine, donepezil, and memantine; complex II + III activity was increased by galantamine. None of the tested drugs caused significant changes in the rate of mitochondrial oxygen consumption, even at high concentrations. Except galantamine, all tested drugs were selective MAO-A inhibitors. Latrepirdine, donepezil, and 7-MEOTA were found to be the most potent MAO-A inhibitors. Succinate-induced mitochondrial hydrogen peroxide production was not significantly affected by the drugs tested. The direct effect of cognitives and nootropics used in the treatment of AD on mitochondrial respiration is relatively small. The safest drugs in terms of disturbing mitochondrial function appear to be piracetam and rivastigmine. The MAO-A inhibition by cognitives and nootropics may also participate in mitochondrial neuroprotection. The results support the future research aimed at measuring the effects of currently used drugs or newly synthesized drugs on mitochondrial functioning in order to understand their mechanism of action. 相似文献

The cis/trans diastereoisomeric composition of hydroxyl radical adducts to chiral cyclic nitrones can be used to approach mechanisms of free radical formation in biological systems. Such determination is greatly simplified when both diastereoisomers have ESR spectra with at least two non-overlapping lines. To achieve this prerequisite, a series of DEPMPO-derived spin traps bearing one unsubstituted or alkyl-substituted 2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinane ring were synthesized and their structures were confirmed by X-ray diffraction, (1)H, (13)C and (31)P NMR. These CyDEPMPOs nitrones showed variable lipophilicities and LD(50) values on murine fibroblasts compatible with a safe use in biological spin trapping. All CyDEPMPOs formed persistent spin adducts with a series of free radicals, including superoxide and hydroxyl (i.e., CyDEPMPOs-OH) and the in vitro half-life times of these two latter were at least as extended as those of parent DEPMPO. Using four methods of CyDEPMPOs-OH formation, the cis-CyDEPMPOs-OH percentage was found significantly varied with substitution on the P-containing ring and, more interestingly, with the generating system. 相似文献

The synthesis, structure, theoretical and experimental in vitro antioxidant properties using the DPPH, ORAC, and benzoic acid, as well as preliminary in vitro pharmacological activities of (Z)-??-aryl and heteroaryl N-alkyl-nitrones 6-15, 18, 19, 21, and 23, is reported. In the in vitro antioxidant activity, for the DPPH radical test, only nitrones bearing free phenol groups gave the best RSA (%) values, nitrones 13 and 14 showing the highest values in this assay. In the ORAC analysis, the most potent radical scavenger was nitrone indole 21, followed by the N-benzyl benzene-type nitrones 10 and 15. Interestingly enough, the archetypal nitrone 7 (PBN) gave a low RSA value (1.4%) in the DPPH test, or was inactive in the ORAC assay. Concerning the ability to scavenge the hydroxyl radical, all the nitrones studied proved active in this experiment, showing high values in the 94-97% range, the most potent being nitrone 14. The theoretical calculations for the prediction of the antioxidant power, and the potential of ionization confirm that nitrones 9 and 10 are among the best compounds in electron transfer processes, a result that is also in good agreement with the experimental values in the DPPH assay. The calculated energy values for the reaction of ROS (hydroxyl, peroxyl) with the nitrones predict that the most favourable adduct-spin will take place between nitrones 9, 10, and 21, a fact that would be in agreement with their experimentally observed scavenger ability. The in vitro pharmacological analysis showed that the neuroprotective profile of the target molecules was in general low, with values ranging from 0% to 18.7%, in human neuroblastoma cells stressed with a mixture of rotenone/oligomycin-A, being nitrones 18, and 6-8 the most potent, as they show values in the range 24-18.4%. 相似文献

This paper is a review of the work of my former academic group of research in the past 15 years, in the field of cognition enhancers (also called nootropics) that identified two very potent molecules: Unifiram and Sunifiram that for a variety of reasons were not protected by a patent. Some 12 years after their disclosure (2000) I casually found that on the web, there were dozens of sites offering Unifiram and Sunifiram as drugs that improve cognition in healthy individuals even if only few preclinical studies were done and their long-term toxicity was unknown. 相似文献

Reactive oxygen species are by-products of aerobic metabolism involved in the onset and evolution of various pathological conditions. Among them, the superoxide radical is of special interest as the origin of several damaging species such as H2O2, hydroxyl radical, or peroxynitrite (ONOO−). Spin trapping coupled with ESR is a method of choice to characterize these species in chemical and biological systems and the metabolic stability of the spin adducts derived from reaction of superoxide and hydroxyl radicals with nitrones is the main limit to the in vivo application of the method. Recently, new cyclic nitrones bearing a triphenylphosphonium or permethylated β-cyclodextrin moiety have been synthesized and their spin adducts demonstrated increased stability in buffer. In this article, we studied the stability of the superoxide adducts of four new cyclic nitrones in the presence of liver subcellular fractions and biologically relevant reductants using an original setup combining a stopped-flow device and an ESR spectrometer. The kinetics of disappearance of the spin adducts were analyzed using an appropriate simulation program. Our results highlight the interest of the new spin trapping agents CD-DEPMPO and CD-DIPPMPO for specific detection of superoxide with high stability of the superoxide adducts in the presence of liver microsomes. 相似文献

The spin trapping ability of the nitrones 2,4-disulphophenyl-N-tert-butyl nitrone (NXY-059), 2-sulphophenyl-N-tert-butyl nitrone (S-PBN) and alpha-phenyl-N-tert-butyl nitrone (PBN) for both hydroxyl and methanol radicals was investigated using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. The radicals of interest were generated in situ in the spectrometer under constant flow conditions in the presence of each nitrone. The spin adducts formed were detected by EPR spectroscopy. This approach allowed for quantitative comparison of the EPR spectra of the spin adducts of each nitrone. The results obtained showed that NXY-059 trapped a greater number of hydroxyl and methanol radicals than the other two nitrones, under the conditions studied. 相似文献

Mnemotropic effect has been revealed in the action of Derinat, a biologically active compound of natural origin, on the formation of conditioned reflexes of active and passive avoidance. Derinat accelerates the elaboration of conditioned reflexes. This effect manifests itself already at initial stages of the elaboration, which resembles the effect produced by nootropics. 相似文献

The nitrones alpha-phenyl-N-tert-butyl nitrone (PBN), sodium 2-sulfophenyl-N-tert-butyl nitrone (S-PBN) and disodium 2,4-disulfophenyl-N-tert-butyl nitrone (NXY-059) are neuroprotective in a variety of rodent models. The objective of the current studies was to compare the ability of PBN, S-PBN, and NXY-059 to form radical adducts and to prevent salicylate oxidation in an aqueous system. For the electron spin resonance (ESR) studies, hydroxyl radicals were generated with ultraviolet (UV) light and hydrogen peroxide. Secondary radicals were then produced by the addition of methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, dimethylsulfoxide, tetrahydrofuran or 1,4-dioxane. In addition, competition spin trapping studies were performed using PBN-alpha-(13) C and either S-PBN or NXY-059. In the salicylate studies, PBN, S-PBN and NXY-059 were compared to a variety of other antioxidants and reference compounds (cysteine, glutathione, ascorbate, uric acid, Tempo, Trolox, and Tirilizad) for their ability to prevent 2,3- and 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid formation induced by hydroxyl radical generating systems. All 3 nitrones trapped carbon- and oxygen-centered radicals to produce ESR-detectable radical adducts. Each nitrone also prevented salicylate oxidation, with PBN being the most effective. The ability of these 3 nitrones to prevent salicylate oxidation resembled that of most of the other compounds tested. 相似文献

High affinity choline uptake (HACU) in the hippocampus and striatal concentration of dopamine (DA) and homovanillic acid (HVA) as measures of the in vivo acetylcholine and DA turnover, respectively, were estimated in male rats, Long-Evans, following 6-day administration of various nootropics in clinically relevant doses: piracetam and its derivatives pramiracetam and oxiracetam (100 mg/kg/day), pyritinol (50 mg/kg/day). Piracetam treatment was without effect on HACU, but induced significant increase of HVA in the striatum leaving striatal DA concentration unchanged. On the contrary, pyritinol, pramiracetam and oxiracetam increased HACU, but did not change striatal DA and HVA levels. 相似文献
