Catalase Inhibition by Aminoalkanol Derivatives with Potential Anti-Cancer Activity—In Vitro and In Silico Studies Using Capillary Electrophoresis Method. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23137123. [PMID: 35806131 PMCID: PMC9266750 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23137123] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2022] [Revised: 06/22/2022] [Accepted: 06/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
In this work, the investigation of type and inhibitory strength of catalase by two pairs of aminoalkanol derivatives (1,7 diEthyl- and 1,7-diMethyl-8,9-diphenyl-4-azatricyclo (5.2.1.02.6) dec-8-ene- 3,5,10-trione) has been presented. The obtained results allowed for the determination of all kinetic parameters (Km, Vmax, slope angles of Lineweaver–Burk plots, Ki and IC50) on the basis of which it was shown that all four aminoalkanol derivatives are competitive inhibitors of catalase. However, the strength of action of each of them depends on the type of substituents present in the main structure of the molecule. Subtle differences in the potency of individual derivatives were possible to detect thanks to the developed, sensitive method of capillary electrophoresis, which allowed simultaneous monitoring of the mutual changes in the concentrations of substrates and products of the reaction catalyzed by the enzyme. Detailed values of kinetic parameters showed that all derivatives are weak inhibitors of catalase, which in this case is a big advantage because each inhibition of catalase activity is associated with a greater amount of accumulated, harmful reactive oxygen species. The results of docking studies also show the convergence of the binding energies values of individual inhibitors with all kinetic parameters of the investigated catalase inhibition and thus additionally confirm the weak inhibitory strength of all four aminoalkanol derivatives.

Abstract
Two aminoalkanol derivatives of 1,7-diEthyl-8,9-diphenyl-4azatricyclo (5.2.1.02.6) dec-8-ene-3,5,10-trione and two derivatives of 1,7-diMethyl-8,9-diphenyl-4-azatricyclo (5.2.1.02.6) dec-8-ene-3,5,10-trione were evaluated in vitro for their inhibition efficacy of acetylcholinesterase. The Km, Vmax, slope angles of Lineweaver-Burk plots, Ki and IC50 values showed that all four aminoalkanol derivatives are competitive inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase whose inhibitory potency depends, to a varying extent, on the nature of the four different substituents present in the main compound structure. Studies have shown that the most potent acetylcholinesterase inhibitors are derivatives containing isopropylamine and/or methyl substituents in their structure. In contrast, dimethylamine and/or ethyl substituents seem to have a weaker, albeit visible, effect on the inhibitory potency of acetylcholinesterase. Additionally, docking studies suggest that studied compounds binds with the peripheral anionic site and not enter into the catalytic pocket due to the presence of the sterically extended substituent.

Kinetic Studies of Newly Patented Aminoalkanol Derivatives with Potential Anticancer Activity as Competitive Inhibitors of Prostate Acid Phosphatase. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms222111761. [PMID: 34769193 PMCID: PMC8584256 DOI: 10.3390/ijms222111761] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2021] [Revised: 10/11/2021] [Accepted: 10/28/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acid phosphatase and its regulation are important objects of biological and clinical research and play an important role in the development and treatment of prostate and bone diseases. The newly patented aminoalkanol (4-[2-hydroxy-3-(propan-2-ylamino)propyl]-1,7-dimethyl-8,9-diphenyl-4-azatricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]dec-8-ene-3,5,10-trione hydrochloride) (I) and (4-[3-(dimethylamino)-2-hydroxypropyl]-1,7-dimethyl-8,9-diphenyl-4-azatricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]dec-8-ene-3,5,10-trione hydrochloride) (II) derivatives have potential anticancer activity, and their influence on enzymatic activity can significantly impact the therapeutic effects of acid phosphatase against many diseases. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the action of compounds (I) and (II) on acid phosphatase. METHODS Capillary electrophoresis was used to evaluate the inhibition of acid phosphatase. Lineweaver-Burk plots were constructed to compare the Km of this enzyme in the presence of inhibitors (I) or (II) with the Km in solutions without these inhibitors. RESULTS Compound (I) showed a stronger competitive inhibition against acid phosphatase, whereas derivative (II) showed a weaker competitive type of inhibition. The detailed kinetic studies of these compounds showed that their type and strength of inhibition as well as affinity depend on the kind of substituent occurring in the main chemical molecule. CONCLUSIONS This study is of great importance because the disclosed inhibition of acid phosphatase by compounds (I) and (II) raises the question of whether these compounds could have any effect on the treatment possibilities of prostate diseases.

Abstract
Many cancers have developed resistance to 5-FU, due to removal by the enzyme uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG), a type of base excision repair enzyme (BER) that can excise uracil and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) from DNA. However, the development of UDG inhibitor screening methods, especially for the rapid and efficient screening of natural product/natural product-like compounds, is still limited so far. We developed herein a robust time-resolved photoluminescence method for screening UDG inhibitors, which could significantly improve sensitivity over the screening method based on the conventional steady-state spectroscopy, reducing the substantial fluorescence background interference. As a proof-of-concept, two potential UDG inhibitors were identified from a database of natural products and approved drugs. Co-treatment of these two compounds with 5-FU showed synergistic cytotoxicity, providing the basis for treating drug-resistant cancers. Overall, this method provides an avenue for the rapid screening of small molecule regulators of other BER enzyme activities that can avoid false negatives arising from the background fluorescence. The discovery of UDG inhibitors against prostate cancer by using a robust photoluminescence screening assay that can avoid false negatives arising from the background fluorescence.![]()

Abstract
A simple, rapid, capillary zone electrophoresis method was developed and validated for the analysis of two novel aminoalkanol derivatives (I) and (II) of 1,7-diethyl-8,9-diphenyl-4-azatricyclo[5.2.1.02,6 ]dec-8-ene-3,5,10-trione, which were found in earlier studies as potential anticancer drugs. Samples were analyzed to demonstrate the specificity and stability indicating ability of the developed method. The samples were extracted using n-hexane-ethyl acetate mixture in the ratio of 90:10. Electrophoretic separation was performed on a eCAP fused silica capillary (37 cm length, 50 µm inside diameter) with a 50 mM tetraborate buffer as a background electrolyte adjusted to pH = 2.5. The separation time of (I) and (II) was achieved within 7 min. In addition, analysis of the two compounds in the serum was conducted. Limits of detection of (I) and (II) by UV absorbance at 200 nm were achieved in the range of 87.4-92.1 ng/mL. The sufficient recovery was observed in the range of 90.3-99.8%. The quantification limits for the compounds (I) and (II) were in the range of 279.71-291.03 ng/mL, respectively. The method has been successfully applied to the analysis of compounds (I) and (II) in serum samples.

Abstract
The article describes the inhibitory effect of two new aminoalkanol derivatives on the enzymatic kinetic of tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase with use of capillary zone electrophoresis to evaluate the inhibitory effect. This technique allows to investigate of the enzymatic kinetic by the measure of the amounts of the substrate and product in the presence of compound (I) or (II) in the reaction mixture. The separation process was conducted using an eCAP fused-silica capillary. The detector was set at 200nm. The best parameters for the analysis were: 25mM sodium dihydrogen phosphate adjusted to pH=2.5, temperature 25°C, and voltage -15kV. Lineweaver-Burk plots were constructed and determined by comparison of the Km, of alkaline phosphatase in the presence of inhibitor (I) or (II) with the Km in a solution without inhibitor. The influence of replacement the propylamine group by the dimethylamine group on tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase inhibition activity of new derivatives (I) and (II) was investigated. The tested compounds (I) and (II) were found to be tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase inhibitors. Detailed kinetic studies indicated a competitive mode of inhibition against tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase for compound (I) and non-competitive mode of inhibition for compound (II).
