AbstractSirtuin 2 is a key enzyme in gene expression regulation that is often associated with tumor proliferation control and therefore is a relevant anticancer drug target. Anilinobenzamide derivatives have been discussed as selective sirtuin 2 inhibitors and can be developed further. In the present study, hologram and three-dimensional quantitative structure–activity relationship (HQSAR and 3D-QSAR) analyses were employed for determining structural contributions of a compound series containing human sirtuin-2-selective inhibitors that were then correlated with structural data from the literature. The final QSAR models were robust and predictive according to statistical validation (q2 and r2pred values higher than 0.85 and 0.75, respectively) and could be employed further to generate fragment contribution and contour maps. 3D-QSAR models together with information about the chemical properties of sirtuin 2 inhibitors can be useful for designing novel bioactive ligands.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

In this work, we evaluated the cytotoxicity of mesoionic 4-phenyl-5-(2-Y, 4-X or 4-X-cinnamoyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazolium-2-phenylamine chloride derivatives (MI-J: X=OH, Y=H; MI-D: X=NO2, Y=H; MI-4F: X=F, Y=H; MI-2,4diF: X=Y=F) on human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2), and non-tumor cells (rat hepatocytes) for comparison. MI-J, M-4F and MI-2,4diF reduced HepG2 viability by ~ 50% at 25 μM after 24-h treatment, whereas MI-D required a 50 μM concentration, as shown by 3-(4,5-dimethythiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assays. The cytotoxicity was confirmed with lactate dehydrogenase assay, of which activity was increased by 55, 24 and 16% for MI-J, MI-4F and MI-2,4diF respectively (at 25 μM after 24 h). To identify the death pathway related to cytotoxicity, the HepG2 cells treated by mesoionic compounds were labeled with both annexin V and PI, and analyzed by flow cytometry. All compounds increased the number of doubly-stained cells at 25 μM after 24 h: by 76% for MI-J, 25% for MI-4F and MI-2,4diF, and 11% for MI-D. It was also verified that increased DNA fragmentation occurred upon MI-J, MI-4F and MI-2,4diF treatments (by 12%, 9% and 8%, respectively, at 25 μM after 24 h). These compounds were only weakly, or not at all, transported by the main multidrug transporters, P-glycoprotein, ABCG2 and MRP1, and were able to slightly inhibit their drug-transport activity. It may be concluded that 1,3,4-thiadiazolium compounds, especially the hydroxy derivative MI-J, constitute promising candidates for future investigations on in-vivo treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. 相似文献

Flavonoids are a large group of polyphenolic compounds that have received considerable attention because of their biological and physiological importance. The flavone (2-phenyl-4H-1-benzopyran-4one) used in this work is found in some cereal grains and generates several biological activities, including: apoptosis induction, cell cycle arrest, caspase activation and inhibition of tumor cell proliferation. However, its effects on the hepatic mitochondrial metabolism are still unknown. We evaluated the effect of flavone on the metabolism of mitochondria isolated from rat liver. Polarographic experiments using 200 μmol L?1 flavone and rat liver mitochondria oxidizing glutamate or succinate indicated that both substrates underwent: (i) reduction of state 3 respiration; (ii) stimulation of state 4 respiration; (iii) reduction of the respiratory control coefficient; and (iv) reduction of the ADP/O ratio. An analysis of the activity of enzymatic complexes in the respiratory chain showed that flavone acts between complexes I and III. Flavone reduced the membrane electric potential at doses of 100, 150 and 200 μmol L?1. Flavone at certain doses (75–200 μmol L?1) reduced mitochondrial swelling in the presence of valinomycin and KNO3, suggesting that flavone could induce changes in mitochondrial membrane properties. These results demonstrate that the inhibition of mitochondrial enzymes in the respiratory chain coupled with the effects on membrane properties are promoted by the core structure of flavones, and these effects may be in part responsible for the cytotoxic effects of flavones. 相似文献

Thyrotoxicosis, a condition in which there is an excessive amount of circulating thyroid hormones, leads to reduced glycogen content in different tissues. In this study we analyzed the effects of aerobic swimming training on liver, heart, and skeletal muscle glycogen content in experimentally induced thyrotoxicosis. Wistar male rats were divided into euthyroid sedentary (ES, n = 12), euthyroid trained (ET, n = 11), thyrotoxic sedentary (TS, n = 12), and thyrotoxic trained (TT, n = 10) groups. Thyrotoxic groups received daily i.p. doses of T4 (sodium levothyroxine, 25 μg/100 g body mass) through the experimental period, and trained groups swam for 1 h at 80% of the aerobic-anaerobic transition intensity, 5 days/week for 4 weeks. Heart and liver glycogen stores were ~30% lower in T4 treated compared with nontreated groups, but were not changed by training status. On the other hand, glycogen content in mixed fiber type gastrocnemius of TT was 1.5- to 2.3-fold greater than those in other groups, whereas no significant differences were found for the slow soleus muscle. Increased gastrocnemius but not soleus, liver, or heart glycogen indicates that in mild long-term thyrotoxicosis chronic swimming affects glycogen stores in a tissue-specific manner. 相似文献

We have reported that drugs alter the biodistribution of radiopharmaceuticals used in diagnostic imaging in nuclear medicine. Knowledge of such altered biodistribution is important in making diagnostic from scintigraphy. Mitomycin-C is used as component of many chemotherapeutic regimens to treat different tumors. The biological activities of mitomycin-C can be explained by its ability to inhibit deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis. Since patients on chemotherapeutic treatment can be submitted to nuclear medicine procedures, we studied the mitomycin-C effect on the bioavailability of the technetium-99m-labelled sodium pyrophosphate (9mTc-PYP) using an animal model. Mitomycin (0.45 mg) was administered by ocular plexus way Balb/c mice. One hour after the last dose, 99mTc-PYP (7.4 MBq) was administered and after 0.5 hr the animals (n = 15) were rapidly sacrificed. The organs were isolated, the radioactivity counted in a well counter and the percentage of radioactivity (%ATI) calculated. The results have shown that in the treated animals the %ATI has been decreased in spleen, thymus, heart and brain and increased in lung, liver and bone. The effect of this chemotherapeutic drug on the 99mTc-PYP biodistribution was statistically significant (Wilcoxon test, p < 0.05) and it could be explained by the metabolization or therapeutic action of mitomycin-C. 相似文献

Fish farming in the Amazon has been stimulated as a solution to increase economic development. However, poorly managed fish ponds have been sometimes associated with the presence of Anopheles spp. and consequently, with malaria transmission. In this study, we analyzed the spatial and temporal dynamics of malaria in the state of Acre (and more closely within a single county) to investigate the potential links between aquaculture and malaria transmission in this region. At the state level, we classified the 22 counties into three malaria endemicity patterns, based on the correlation between notification time series. Furthermore, the study period (2003–2013) was divided into two phases (epidemic and post-epidemic). Higher fish pond construction coincided both spatially and temporally with increased rate of malaria notification. Within one malaria endemic county, we investigated the relationship between the geolocation of malaria cases (2011–2012) and their distance to fish ponds. Entomological surveys carried out in these ponds provided measurements of anopheline abundance that were significantly associated with the abundance of malaria cases within 100 m of the ponds (P < 0.005; r = 0.39). These results taken together suggest that fish farming contributes to the maintenance of high transmission levels of malaria in this region. 相似文献

Calcium complexes with bidentate carbonyl ligands are important in biological systems, medicine and industry, where the concentration of Ca2+ is controlled using chelating ligands. The exchange of two water molecules of [Ca(H2O)6]2+ for one bidentate monosubstituted and homo disubstituted dicarbonyl ligand was investigated using the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) method. The ligand substituents NH2, OCH3, OH, CH3, H, F, Cl, CN and NO2 are functional groups with distinct electron-donating and -withdrawing effects that bond directly to the sp2 C atom of the carbonyl group. The geometry, charge and energy characteristics of the complexes were analyzed to help understand the effects of substituents, spacer length and chelation. Coordination strength was quantified in terms of the enthalpy and free energy of the exchange reaction. The most negative enthalpies were calculated for the coordination of bidentate ligands containing three to five methylene group spacers between carbonyls. The chelate effect contribution was analyzed based on the thermochemistry. The electronic character of the substituent modulates the strength of binding to the metal cation, as ligands containing electron-donor substituents coordinate stronger than those with electron-acceptor substituents. This is reflected in the geometric (bond length and chelating angle), electronic (atomic charges) and energetic (components of the total interacting energy) characteristics of the complexes. Energy decomposition analysis (EDA)—an approach for partitioning of the energy into its chemical origins—shows that the electrostatic component of the coordination is predominant, and yields relevant contribution of the covalent term, especially for the electron-withdrawing substituted ligands. The chelate effect of the bidentate ligands was noticeable when compared with substitution by two monodentate ligands. 相似文献
