Ultrasonication-ionic liquid synergy for the synthesis of new potent anti-tuberculosis 1,2,4-triazol-1-yl-pyrazole based spirooxindolopyrrolizidines

The aim of the study is to design and synthesis of a new series of potent anti-TB 1,2,4-triazol-1-yl-pyrazole based spirooxindolopyrrolizidines with their safety profile. A synergetic effect of ultrasonication and ionic liquid was shown successfully as a green methodology for the synthesis of title compounds 6a–t. These derivatives were obtained in shorter reaction time with good yields and well characterized by various spectroscopic methods, single-crystal X-ray diffraction (6f). The in vitro anti-tuberculosis activity for newly-synthesized derivatives has been screened against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Among all, six compounds 6e, 6k, 6l, 6n, 6q and 6r exhibited equal potent activity compared to standard drug ethambutol (MIC: 1.56 µg/mL) and another compound 6h exhibited outstanding activity (MIC: 0.78 µg/mL) than the standard drug ethambutol. Cytotoxic nature of the anti-TB active compounds was evaluated against RAW 264.7 cells. The 6h, 6e, 6k, 6l, 6n, 6q and 6r exhibited lower toxicity which could be promising hits for anti-tuberculosis.     

Evaluation of plasma antioxidant activity in rats given excess EGCg with reference to endogenous antioxidants concentrations and assay methods

The contribution of (?)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg) intake to in vivo antioxidant activity is unclear, even with respect to plasma. In this study, we examined how administration of EGCg contributes to plasma antioxidant activity, relative to its concentration, endogenous antioxidants, and assay methods, namely oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) and ferric reducing/antioxidant power (FRAP). Administration of EGCg (500?mg/kg) to rats increased plasma EGCg (4μmol/L as free form) and ascorbic acid (1.7-fold), as well as ORAC (1.2-fold) and FRAP (3-fold) values. The increase in plasma ascorbic acid following EGCg administration was accompanied by its relocation from the adrenal glands and lymphocytes into plasma, and was related to the increase in FRAP. Plasma deproteinization and assays in plasma model solutions revealed that protein levels significantly contributed to ORAC values, where <3?μmol/L EGCg in the presence of protein exhibited minimal antioxidant activity, as measured by both FRAP and ORAC. As the concentration of plasma ascorbic acid was not influenced by deproteinization, differences in FRAP values with and without deproteinization were estimated to determine the contribution of enhanced ascorbic acid attributable to EGCg administration. These results will help to understand the points that should be considered when evaluating EGCg antioxidant activity in plasma.

Phyto-fabricated ZnO nanoparticles from Canthium dicoccum (L.) for antimicrobial,anti-tuberculosis and antioxidant activity

Bioactivity exhibited by nanoparticles has been interesting for researchers globally. The phytogenic synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) has been an eco-friendly approach due to its low toxicity and biological potential. In this pretext, the present study has been conducted. The bacterial inhibition by ZnO-NPs could be attributed to its high specific surface charge and reactive oxygen species generation. The present study states the phyto-fabrication of ZnO-NPs employing aqueous leaf extract of Canthium dicoccum (L.). The synthesized nanoparticles (NPs) displayed characteristic excitation at 293 nm. The dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis revealed an average 33 nm size of ZnO-NPs. The FT-IR functional groups CH stretch, CH bend, aromatic CN stretch, and CO stretch were observed in phyto-fabricated ZnO-NPs. Results obtained from antibacterial activities inferred that ZnO-NPs were most effective against Bacillus subtilis, least sensitive to Staphylococcus aureus. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was observed in the range 78.12 to 625 μg mL⁻¹ which was further confirmed by bacterial cell viability test. The Anti-TB activity by Alamar Blue Dye test revealed phyto-fabricated ZnO-NPs inhibited M. tuberculosis at 25 μg mL⁻¹. The result of the antioxidant activity of the DPPH method was dose-dependent. The application of ZnO-NPs as potential antibacterial applications could be envisioned.     

Diterpenoids from the roots of Euphorbia ebracteolata and their anti-tuberculosis effects

Euphorbia ebracteolata was a natural medicine for the treatment of tuberculosis. The present work has performed the investigation of bioactive chemical substances from the roots of E. ebracteolata. Using various chromatographic techniques, 15 compounds were obtained from the roots of E. ebracteolata. On the basis of widely spectroscopic data analyses, the isolated compounds were determined to be diterpenoids, including rosane derivatives (1–12), isopimarane (13), abietane (14), and lathyrane (15), among which compounds 1–4, and 9 were undescribed previously. The inhibitory effects of isolated diterpenoids against Mycobacterium tuberculosis were evaluated using an Alamar blue cell viability assay. And two rosane-type diterpenoids 3 and 8 displayed moderate inhibitory effects on with the MIC values of 18 μg/mL and 25 μg/mL, respectively. For the potential inhibitor 3, the inhibitory effect against the target enzyme GlmU was evaluated, which displayed a moderate inhibitory effect with the IC₅₀ 12.5 μg/mL. Therefore, the diterpenoids from the roots of E. ebracteolata displayed anti-tuberculosis effects, which would be pay more attentions for the anti-tuberculosis agents.

Towards the discovery of drug-like epigallocatechin gallate analogs as Hsp90 inhibitors

(−)-Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is the major flavonoid of green tea and has been widely explored for a range of biological activities including anti-infective, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and neuroprotection. Existing structure–activity data for EGCG has been largely limited to exploration of simple ethers and hydroxyl deletion. EGCG has poor drug-like properties because of multiple phenolic hydroxyl moieties and a metabolically labile ester. This work reports a substantial expansion of structure–activity understanding by exploring a range of semi-synthetic and synthetic derivatives with ester replacements and variously substituted aromatic and alicyclic groups containing more drug-like substituents. Structure–activity relationships for these molecules were obtained for Hsp90 inhibition. The results indicate that amide and sulfonamide linkers are suitable ester replacements. Hydroxylated aromatic rings and the cis-stereochemistry in EGCG are not essential for Hsp90 inhibition. Selected analogs in this series are more potent than EGCG in a luciferase refolding assay for Hsp90 activity.     

Peptidomimetic inhibitors of protein farnesyltransferase show potent antimalarial activity

Malaria continues to represent a very serious health problem in the tropics.
