As an extension of our previous work we not only evaluated the relationship between acidosis and lipid peroxidation in rat's kidney homogenate, but also determined for the first time the potential anti-oxidant activity of diphenyl diselenide, diphenyl ditelluride and ebselen at a range of pH values (7.4–5.4). Because of the pH dependency of iron redox cycling, pH and iron need to be well controlled and for the reason we tested a number of pH values (from 7.4 to 5.4) to get a closer idea about the role of iron under various pathological conditions. Acidosis increased rate of lipid peroxidation in the absence Fe (II) in kidney homogenates especially at pH 5.4. This higher extent of lipid peroxidation can be explained by; the mobilized iron which may come from reserves where it is weakly bound. Addition of iron (Fe) chelator desferoxamine (DFO) to reaction medium completely inhibited the peroxidation processes at all studied pH values including acidic values (5.8–5.4). In the presence of Fe (II) acidosis also enhanced detrimental effect of Fe (II) especially at pH (6.4–5.4). Diphenyl diselenide significantly protected lipid peroxidation at all studied pH values, while ebselen offered only a small statistically non-significant protection. The highest anti-oxidant potency was observed for diphenyl ditelluride. These differences in potencies were explained by the mode of action of these compounds using their catalytic anti-oxidant cycles. However, changing the pH of the reaction medium did not alter the anti-oxidant activity of the tested compounds. This study provides evidence for acidosis catalyzed oxidative stress in kidney homogenate and for the first time anti-oxidant potential of diphenyl diselenide and diphenyl ditelluride not only at physiological pH but also at a range of acidic values. 相似文献

In Lemna pausicostata Hegelm. 6746, light is required for sufficient acifluorfenmethyl (AFM) stimulation of protoporphyrin IX (Proto IX) accumulation to cause significant herbicidal action. In darkness, AFM causes Proto IX levels to increase for about 2 h, after which Proto IX content is stable at levels significantly lower than those accumulated in light. In darkness, sucrose cannot increase levels of AFM-induced Proto IX. However, addition of δ-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) increases Proto IX levels in AFM-treated plants in darkness, demonstrating that the herbicide blocks the porphyrin pathway in darkness as it does in the light. Thus, Proto IX accumulation in darkness appears to be limited by ALA availability. This is supported by the finding that dioxoheptanoic acid caused more ALA to accumulate in light than in darkness. Heme is a feedback inhibitor of ALA synthesis, and heme synthesis is inhibited by AFM. However, total extractable heme levels were reduced by AFM by about the same amount in both light and darkness. Exogenously supplied hemin reduced AFM-caused Proto IX accumulation and herbicidal damage in the light and also reduced Proto IX accumulation caused by AFM or AFM plus ALA in darkness. AFM-stimulated Proto IX accumulation was inversely proportional to the log of the photon flux density between 5 and 500 μmol in m−2 s−1 . Reduced effects of higher photon fluxes on AFM-stimulated Proto IX accumulation are probably due to both increased photobleaching of Proto IX and reduced porphyrin synthesis because of herbicidal damage. AFM-stimulated Proto IX accumulation in darkness could not be demonstrated to be under phytochrome control, but it appeared to be under the negative influence of protochlorophyllide levels. 相似文献

Several diphenyl ether herbicides, such as acifluorfen methyl, have been previously shown to cause large accumulations of the heme and chlorophyll precursor, protoporphyrin, in plants. Lightinduced herbicidal damage is mediated by the photoactive porphyrin. Here we investigate whether diphenyl ether herbicides can affect porphyrin synthesis in rat and chick hepatocytes. In rat hepatocyte cultures, protoporphyrin, as well as coproporphyrin, accumulated after treatment with acifluorfen or acifluorfen methyl. Combination of acifluorfen methyl with an esterase inhibitor to prevent the conversion of acifluorfen methyl to acifluorfen resulted in a greater accumulation of porphyrins than caused by acifluorfen methyl or acifluorfen alone. In vitro enzyme studies of hepatic mitochondria isolated from rat and chick embryos demonstrated that protopor-phyrinogen oxidase, the penultimate enzyme of heme biosynthesis, was inhibited by low concentrations of acifluorfen, nitrofen, or acifluorfen methyl with the latter being the most potent inhibitor. These findings indicate that diphenyl ether treatment can cause protoporphyrin accumulation in rat hepatocyte cultures and suggest that this accumulation was associated with the inhibition of protoporphyrinogen oxidase. In cultured chick embryo hepatocytes, treatment with acifluorfen methyl plus an esterase inhibitor caused massive accumulation of uroporphyrin rather than protoporphyrin or coproporphyrin. Specific isozymes of cytochrome P450 were also induced in chick embryo hepatocytes. These effects were not observed in the absence of an esterase inhibitor. These results suggest that diphenyl ether herbicides can cause uroporphyrin accumulation similar to that induced by other cytochrome P450-inducing chemicals such as polyhalogenated aromatic hydrocarbons in the chick hepatocyte system. 相似文献

Structure-based design led to the discovery of a novel class of renin inhibitors in which an unprecedented phenyl ring filling the S1 site is attached to the phenyl ring filling the S3 pocket. Optimization for several parameters including potency in the presence of human plasma, selectivity against CYP3A4 inhibition and improved rat oral bioavailability led to the identification of 8d which demonstrated antihypertensive efficacy in a transgenic rat model of human hypertension. 相似文献

New phenolic constituents from Balanophora polyandra with radical-scavenging activity 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The 80% acetone extract of Balanophora polyandra Griff. (Balanophoraceae) was found to exhibit high radical-scavenging activity (SC(50)=14.48 mug/ml) towards 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals. Further chemical investigation led the isolation of two new hydrolysable tannins, balapolyphorins A (1) and B (2), together with 20 known phenolic compounds (3-22). Their structures were established by detailed spectroscopic analysis, and the radical-scavenging properties of all isolated compounds were determined by DPPH assay. 相似文献

Exposure to chlorpyrifos (CPF) poses several harmful effects to human and animal health. The present study investigated the influence of diphenyl diselenide (DPDS) on CPF-induced toxicity in Drosophila melanogaster. Firstly, the time course lethality response of virgin flies (2- to 3-day-old) to CPF (0.075–0.6 μg/g) and DPDP (5–40 μmol/kg) in the diet for 28 consecutive days were investigated. Subsequently, the protective effect of DPDS (10, 20 and 40 μmol/kg) on CPF (0.15 μg/g)-induced mortality, locomotor deficits, neurotoxicity and oxidative stress was assessed in a co-exposure paradigm for 7 days. Results showed that CPF exposure significantly decreased the percent live flies in a time- and concentration-dependent manner, whereas the percent live flies with DPDS treatment was not statistically different from control following 28 days of treatment. In the co-exposure study, CPF significantly increased flies mortality while the survivors exhibited significant locomotor deficits with decreased acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity. Dietary supplementation with DPDS was associated with marked decrease in mortality, improvement in locomotor activity and restoration of AChE activity in CPF-exposed flies. Moreover, CPF exposure significantly decreased catalase and glutathione-S-transferase activities, total thiol level with concomitant significant elevation in the levels of reactive oxygen species and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances in the head and body regions of the treated flies. Dietary supplementation with DPDS significantly improved the antioxidant status and prevented CPF-induced oxidative stress, thus demonstrating the protective effect of DPDS in CPF-treated flies. 相似文献

Background
A variety of selenium compounds have been observed to provide protection against oxidative stress, presumably by mimicking the mechanism of action of the glutathione peroxidases. However, the selenium chemistry that underpins the action of these compounds has not been unequivocally established.Methods
The synchrotron based techniques, X-ray absorption spectroscopy and X-ray fluorescence microscopy were used to examine the cellular speciation and distribution of selenium in SH-SY5Y cells pretreated with one of two diphenyl diselenides, or ebselen, followed by peroxide insult.Results
Bis(2-aminophenyl)diselenide was shown to protect against oxidative stress conditions which mimic ischemic strokes, while its nitro analogue, bis(2-nitrophenyl)diselenide did not. This protective activity was tentatively assigned to the reductive cleavage of bis(2-aminophenyl)diselenide inside human neurocarcinoma cells, SH-SY5Y, while bis(2-nitrophenyl)diselenide remained largely unchanged. The distinct chemistries of the related compounds were traced by the changes in selenium speciation in bulk pellets of treated SH-SY5Y cells detected by X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Further, bis(2-aminophenyl)diselenide, like the known stroke mitigation agent ebselen, was observed by X-ray fluorescence imaging to penetrate into the nucleus of SH-SY5Y cells while bis(2-nitrophenyl)diselenide was observed to be excluded from the nuclear region.Conclusions
The differences in activity were thus attributed to the varied speciation and cellular localisation of the compounds, or their metabolites, as detected by X-ray absorption spectroscopy and X-ray fluorescence microscopy.Significance
The work is significant as it links, for the first time, the protective action of selenium compounds against redox stress with particular chemical speciation using a direct measurement approach. 相似文献8.
Transformation of diphenyl ethers by Trametes versicolor and characterization of ring cleavage products 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The white-rot fungi Trametes versicolor SBUG 1050, DSM 11269 and DSM 11309 are able to oxidize diphenyl ether and its halogenated derivatives 4-bromo- and 4-chlorodiphenyl ether. The products formed from diphenyl ether were 2- and 4-hydroxydiphenyl ether. Both 4-bromo- and 4-chlorodiphenyl ether were transformed to the corresponding products hydroxylated at the non-halogenated ring. Additionally, ring-cleavage products were detected by high perfomance liquid chromatography and characterized by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Unhalogenated diphenyl ether was degraded to 2-hydroxy-4-phenoxymuconic acid and 6-carboxy-4-phenoxy-2-pyrone. Brominated derivatives of both these compounds were formed from 4-bromodiphenyl ether, and 4-chlorodiphenyl ether was transformed in the same way to the analogous chlorinated ring cleavage products. Additionally, 4-bromo- and 4-chlorophenol were detected as intermediates from 4-bromo- and 4-chlorodiphenyl ether, respectively. In the presence of the cytochrome-P450 inhibitor 1-aminobenzotriazole, no metabolites were formed by cells of Trametes versicolor from the diphenyl ethers investigated. Cell-free supernatants of whole cultures with high laccase and manganese peroxidase activities were not able to transform the unhydroxylated diphenyl ethers used. 相似文献

Four new diphenyl ether derivatives, sinopestalotiollides A–D (1–4), one new natural α-pyrone product (11), as well as twelve known compounds (5–1?7), were obtained from the ethyl acetate extract of the endophytic fungus Pestalotiopsis palmarum isolated from the leaves of medicinal plant Sinomenium acutum (Thunb.) Rehd et Wils. The structures were elucidated by HR-ESI-MS and NMR spectrometry data. Bioassay experiments revealed that compounds 1–4 and 11 exhibited strong to weak cytotoxicities against three human tumor cell lines Hela, HCT116 and A549. 相似文献
