[PMID: 35026560 PMCID: PMC8719923 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2021.105587] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2021] [Revised: 12/19/2021] [Accepted: 12/26/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Inflammation, oxidation, and compromised immunity all increase the dangers of COVID-19, whereas many pharmaceutical protocols may lead to increased immunity such as ingesting from sources containing vitamin E and zinc. A global search for natural remedies to fight COVID-19 has emerged, to assist in the treatment of this infamous coronavirus. Nigella satvia is a world-renowned plant, an esteemed herbal remedy, which can be used as a liquid medicine to increase immunity while decreasing the dangers of acute respiratory distress syndrome. Thymoqinone (TQ), dithymoqinone (DTQ) and thymohydroquinone (THQ), are major compounds of the essential oil contained in N.sativa. A current study aims to discover the antiviral activity of two compounds, Thymohydroquinone and Dithymoquinone, which are synthesized through simple chemical procedures, deriving from thymoquinone, which happens to be a major compound of Nigella sativa. A half-maximal cytotoxic concentration, “CC50”, was calculated by MTT assay for each individual drug, The sample showed anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity at non-cytotoxic nanomolar concentrations in vitro with a low selectivity index (CC50/IC50 = 31.74/23.15 = 1.4), whereby Dimthymoquinone shows high cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Psoralen or furocoumarin is a linear three ring heterocyclic compound. Psoralens are planar, tricyclic compounds, consisting of a furan ring fused to a coumarin moiety. Psoralen has been known for a wide spectrum of biological activities, spanning from cytotoxic, photosensitizing, insecticidal, antibacterial to antifungal effect. Thus, several structural changes were introduced to explore the role of specific positions with respect to the biological activity. Convenient approaches utilized for the synthesis of psoralen skeleton can be categorized into two parts: (i) the preparation of the tricyclic ring system from resorcinol, (ii) the exocyclic modification of the intact ring system. Furthermore, although psoralens have been used in diverse ways, we mainly focus in this work on their clinical utility for the treatment of psioraisis, vitiligo and skin-related disorder.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inula viscosa L. (Asteraceae) is a medicinal plant widely used as a folk medicine in oriental Morocco, to treat hypertension. The antihypertensive effect of the methanolic extract obtained from I. viscosa leaves was evaluated in hypertensive L-NAME rats. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) was measured using a non-invasive indirect tail-cuff plethysmographic method. Four groups of rats were used: a control group; a hypertensive group treated with L-NAME (32mg/kg/day); a positive control group treated with L-NAME plus enalapril (15mg/kg/day) as a reference antihypertensive agent; and a group treated with L-NAME plus MeOH-extract (40mg/kg/day). METHODS Treatment with L-NAME alone caused a progressive increase in SBP. After 4 weeks, the value of SBP reached 160±2mmHg which shows the installation of hypertension. Enalapril prevented the increase in SBP, which remained normal at 123±1mmHg after 4 weeks of treatment. The administration of MeOH-extract along with L-NAME prevented the increase in SBP as well, which remained constant at 115±1mmHg after 4 weeks of treatment. In ex-vivo models, MeOH-extract produced a relaxation of pre-contracted ring aorta (54 ± 2% of relaxation at 3g/L). But, when the rings were denuded, MeOH-extract failed to relax pre-contracted rings of aorta. Phytochemical study of I. viscosa MeOH-extract revealed the presence of phenolic compounds, such as cynarin and chlorogenic acid. RESULTS The present results suggest that I. viscosa MeOH-extract has an antihypertensive, predominantly mediated by an endothelium-dependent vasodilatory effect. Cynarin and chlorogenic acid, which have a strong vasorelaxant effect may be involved in the antihypertensive effect of the plant extract. The bioinformatic POM analysis confirms the therapeutic potential of cynarin and chlorogenic acids as inhibitors of various biotargets. Based on the results, the coordination of these phytochemicals with calcium and transition metals should be studied, for better scope at antihypertensive drug development.

Abstract
Several series of novel substituted thienothiophene derivatives were synthesized by reacting the synthone 1 with different reagents. The newly synthesized compounds were characterized by means of different spectroscopic methods such as IR, NMR, mass spectrometry and by elemental analyses. The new compounds displayed significant activity against both Gram-positive and Gram negative bacteria, in addition to fungi. Molecular docking and POM analyses show the crucial role and impact of substituents on bioactivity and indicate the unfavorable structural parameters in actual drug design: more substitution doesn’t guaranty more efficiency in bioactivity.
