Abstract
The renewable 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) has gained a wide interest from the chemistry community as a valuable biobased platform opening the way to many applications. Despite an impressive number of publications reporting either its preparation or its functionalization, its direct use in fine chemistry, and especially in multi-component reaction (MCR), is less reported. Here, we report a complete study of the use of 5-HMF in the Hantzsch dihydropyridines synthesis. The strategy was applied to a scope of β-dicarbonyl molecules (including β-ketoesters and 1,3-diketones) in a 3-component procedure leading to a series of symmetrical 1,4-dihydropyridines derived from 5-HMF in excellent yields. The study was extended to the 4-component protocol using one equivalent of a β-ketoester and one equivalent of 5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione (dimedone), which efficiently provided the corresponding unsymmetrical dihydropyridines.

J Biochem Mol Toxicol 2023; 37:e23238. [PMID: 36207783 DOI: 10.1002/jbt.23238] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2022] [Revised: 08/15/2022] [Accepted: 09/22/2022] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is an acute kidney injury (AKI) observed after the administration of contrast media. Calcium channel blockers (CCBs) have been reported to exert a renal protective effect. This study aims to investigate the role of cilnidipine, a novel CCBs, on CIN by regulating the calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase Ⅱ(CaMKⅡ)/mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) pathway. Here, iohexol, a representative contrast media, was used to establish CIN model. KN-93 (CaMKⅡ inhibitor) and atractyloside (mPTP opener) were administered in rats, and CaMKⅡ overexpression was used in Human proximal tubular epithelial cells. Markers of renal injury (serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, and urinary NAGL), hematoxylin-eosin stain, oxidative stress (ROS, superoxide dismutase [SOD], and malondialdehyde [MDA] levels), cell death (MTT and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate nick end labeling [TUNEL]), mitochondrial function (mPTP, mitochondrial membrane potential [MMP], and ATP) were assessed. Western blots were used to measure the expression levels of Bax/Bcl-2, caspase-3, CaMKⅡ/mPTP signaling pathways. Results showed that cilnidipine markedly improved kidney function, and alleviated tubular cell apoptosis, oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage induced by iohexol in vitro and in vivo. The underlying mechanism may be that cilnidipine relieved CaMKⅡ activation and mPTP opening induced by iohexol. All of these protective effects of cilnidipine were attenuated by CaMKⅡ overexpression and atractyloside (mPTP opener) pretreatment. Moreover, KN-93 (CaMKⅡ inhibitor) treatment showed a similar renal protective effect with cilnidipine, while the protective effect of cilnidipine on kidney in CIN rats was not further suppressed by KN-93 cotreatment. These in vitro and in vivo results point toward the fact that cilnidipine might be a novel therapeutic drug against contrast-induced nephrotoxicity in a CaMKⅡ-dependent manner.

Abstract
The ubiquitin-proteasome system modifies different cellular and protein functions. Its dysregulation may lead to disrupted proteostasis associated with multiple pathologies and aging. Pharmacological regulation of proteasome functions is already an important part of the treatment of several diseases. 1,4-dihydropyridine (1,4-DHP) derivatives possess different pharmacological activities, including antiaging and neuroprotective. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of several 1,4-DHP derivatives on mRNA expression levels of proteasomal genes Psma3, Psmb5, and Psmc6 in several organs of rats. Rats were treated with metcarbatone, etcarbatone, glutapyrone, styrylcarbatone, AV-153-Na, or AV-153-Ca per os for three days. mRNA expression levels were determined with real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). For AV-153-Na and AV-153-Ca, we also determined the expression of the Psma6 gene. In the kidney, metcarbatone, etcarbatone, styrylcarbatone, and AV-153-Na increased the expression of all analysed genes. Glutapyrone increased the expression of Psmb5 and Psmc6 but did not affect the expression of Psma3. In the blood, glutapyrone increased Psmb5 expression. In the liver, AV-153-Na increased the expression of Psma6 and Psmc6 but lowered the expression of Psmb5, while AV-153-Ca only increased Psma6 expression. The ability of 1,4-DHP derivatives to increase the expression of proteasome subunit genes might hold a therapeutic potential in conditions associated with impaired proteasomal functions, but further research is needed.

Abstract
The development of the methods for amide bond formation is important for various uses in the laboratory and industrial applications. The compounds combined in their structures 1,4-dihydroisonicotinic acids and amino acids linked with an amide bond can be considered as “privileged structures” due to their broad range of biological activities. Herein, the formation of amide bond between 1,4-dihydroisonicotinic acid and l-methionine is reported. The coupling of l-methionine with pentafluorophenyl active ester of 1,4-dihydroisonicotinic acid appears to be a convenient and effective method for amide bond formation. Sodium N-(3,5-bis(ethoxycarbonyl)-2,6-dimethyl-1,4-dihydropyridine-4-carbonyl)-l-methioninate has been successfully synthesized via a procedure where the key step is amide formation from 5-diethyl 4-(perfluorophenyl) 2,6-dimethyl-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,4,5-tricarboxylate and l-methionine. Sodium salt formation was performed to improve physicochemical properties, such as solubility of the l-methionine-derived 1,4-dihydroisonicotinamide. The obtained target compound was fully characterized by UV, IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, MS, and microanalysis.

Abstract
Diabetes leads to reduced nitric oxide bioavailability, resulting in endothelial dysfunction. However, overproduction of nitric oxide due to hyperglycaemia is associated with oxidative stress and tissue damage. The objective of this study was to characterise nitric oxide production (NO) and added nitrite and nitrate (NO2 -+NO3 -) concentration in the blood and urine of patients with and without diabetic nephropathy. A total of 268 patients with type 1 diabetes and 69 healthy subjects were included. Diabetic nephropathy was defined as macroalbuminuria and/or estimated glomerular filtration rate below 60 ml/min/1.73 cm2. NO2 -+NO3 - concentration was measured by Griess reaction. Production of NO was detected by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. Blood NO was demonstrated to be higher (P<0.001) and serum NO2 -+NO3 - was lower (P=0.003) in patients with type 1 diabetes and no nephropathy vs. healthy subjects. However, serum NO2 -+NO3 - concentration in patients with diabetes and nephropathy did not differ from the levels observed in healthy controls. Urine excretion of NO2 -+NO3 - was significantly decreased in patients with nephropathy, compared with patients without diabetic kidney disease (P=0.006) and healthy subjects (P=0.010). A significant positive correlation was observed between urine NO2 -+NO3 - and estimated glomerular filtration rate in patients with type 1 diabetes (P=0.002) and healthy subjects (P=0.008). Estimated glomerular filtration rate, albuminuria and diabetic nephropathy status were significant predictors of the whole blood NO and NO2 -+NO3 - in serum and urine in patients with type 1 diabetes, as identified by linear regression models. The present study concludes that NO metabolism is impaired by type 1 diabetes and diabetic nephropathy.

Abstract
Oxidative stress has been implicated in pathophysiology of different human stress- and age-associated disorders, including osteoporosis for which antioxidants could be considered as therapeutic remedies as was suggested recently. The 1,4-dihydropyridine (DHP) derivatives are known for their pleiotropic activity, with some also acting as antioxidants. To find compounds with potential antioxidative activity, a group of 27 structurally diverse DHPs, as well as one pyridine compound, were studied. A group of 11 DHPs with 10-fold higher antioxidative potential than of uric acid, were further tested in cell model of human osteoblast-like cells. Short-term combined effects of DHPs and 50 µM H2O2 (1-h each), revealed better antioxidative potential of DHPs if administered before a stressor. Indirect 24-h effect of DHPs was evaluated in cells further exposed to mild oxidative stress conditions induced either by H2O2 or tert-butyl hydroperoxide (both 50 µM). Cell growth (viability and proliferation), generation of ROS and intracellular glutathione concentration were evaluated. The promotion of cell growth was highly dependent on the concentrations of DHPs used, type of stressor applied and treatment set-up. Thiocarbatone III-1, E2-134-1 III-4, Carbatone II-1, AV-153 IV-1, and Diethone I could be considered as therapeutic agents for osteoporosis although further research is needed to elucidate their bioactivity mechanisms, in particular in respect to signaling pathways involving 4-hydroxynoneal and related second messengers of free radicals.

Abstract
Studies on the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus complications indicate that the compounds reducing free radicals and enhancing DNA repair could be prospective as possible remedies. Carbatonides, the disodium-2,6-dimethyl-1,4- dihydropyridine-3,5-bis(carbonyloxyacetate) derivatives, were tested for these properties. EPR spectroscopy showed that metcarbatone was an effective scavenger of hydroxyl radicals produced in the Fenton reaction, etcarbatone, and propcarbatone were less effective, styrylcarbatone was ineffective. UV/VIS spectroscopy revealed that styrylcarbatone manifested a hyperchromic effect when interacting with DNA, while all other carbatonides showeda hypochromic effect. Rats with streptozotocin induced type 1 DM were treated with metcarbatone, etcarbatone or styrylcarbatone (all compounds at doses 0.05 mg kg-1 or 0.5 mg kg-1) nine days after the DM approval. Gene expression levels in kidneys and blood were evaluated by quantitative RT-PCR; protein expression - immunohistochemically in kidneys, heart, sciatic nerve, and eyes; DNA breakage - by comet assay in nucleated blood cells. Induction of DM induced DNA breaks; metcarbatone and styrylcarbatone (low dose) alleviated this effect. Metcarbatone and etcarbatone up-regulated mRNA and protein of eNOS in kidneys of diabetic animals; etcarbatone also in myocardium. Etcarbatone reduced the expression of increased iNOS protein in myocardium, nerve, and kidneys. iNos gene expression was up-regulated in kidneys by etcarbatone and metcarbatone in diabetic animals. In blood, development of DM increased iNos gene expression; etcarbatone and metcarbatone normalised it. Etcarbatone up-regulated the expression of H2AX in kidneys of diabetic animals but decreased the production of c-PARP1. Taken together, our data indicate that carbatonides might have a potential as drugs intended to treat DM complications.

Dihydropyridine Derivatives as Cell Growth Modulators In Vitro. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2017; 2017:4069839.

Abstract
The effects of eleven 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives (DHPs) used alone or together with prooxidant anticancer drug doxorubicin were examined on two cancer (HOS, HeLa) and two nonmalignant cell lines (HMEC, L929). Their effects on the cell growth (3H-thymidine incorporation) were compared with their antiradical activities (DPPH assay), using well-known DHP antioxidant diludine as a reference. Thus, tested DHPs belong to three groups: (1) antioxidant diludine; (2) derivatives with pyridinium moieties at position 4 of the 1,4-DHP ring; (3) DHPs containing cationic methylene onium (pyridinium, trialkylammonium) moieties at positions 2 and 6 of the 1,4-DHP ring. Diludine and DHPs of group 3 exerted antiradical activities, unlike compounds of group 2. However, novel DHPs had cell type and concentration dependent effects on 3H-thymidine incorporation, while diludine did not. Hence, IB-32 (group 2) suppressed the growth of HOS and HeLa, enhancing growth of L929 cells, while K-2-11 (group 3) enhanced growth of every cell line tested, even in the presence of doxorubicin. Therefore, growth regulating and antiradical activity principles of novel DHPs should be further studied to find if DHPs of group 2 could selectively suppress cancer growth and if those of group 3 promote wound healing.
