[PMID: 39000305 PMCID: PMC11241041 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25137194] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2024] [Revised: 06/23/2024] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Nitrosyl iron complexes are remarkably multifactorial pharmacological agents. These compounds have been proven to be particularly effective in treating cardiovascular and oncological diseases. We evaluated and compared the antioxidant activity of tetranitrosyl iron complexes (TNICs) with thiosulfate ligands and dinitrosyl iron complexes (DNICs) with glutathione (DNIC-GS) or phosphate (DNIC-PO4-) ligands in hemoglobin-containing systems. The studied effects included the production of free radical intermediates during hemoglobin (Hb) oxidation by tert-butyl hydroperoxide, oxidative modification of Hb, and antioxidant properties of nitrosyl iron complexes. Measuring luminol chemiluminescence revealed that the antioxidant effect of TNICs was higher compared to DNIC-PO4-. DNIC-GS either did not exhibit antioxidant activity or exerted prooxidant effects at certain concentrations, which might have resulted from thiyl radical formation. TNICs and DNIC-PO4- efficiently protected the Hb heme group from decomposition by organic hydroperoxides. DNIC-GS did not exert any protective effects on the heme group; however, it abolished oxoferrylHb generation. TNICs inhibited the formation of Hb multimeric forms more efficiently than DNICs. Thus, TNICs had more pronounced antioxidant activity than DNICs in Hb-containing systems.

Abstract
Background Ditrosyl iron complexes (DNIC) are endogenous donors of nitric oxide. The possibility of their application to stimulate regeneration has been studied for more than 15 years. However, the most effective dose and form of delivery have not yet been determined. Purpose The aim of this research was to develop a spray form of DNIC that accelerates wound healing. Methods We prepared a series of DNIC sprays with spray dosages of 10, 50 and 100 μg. We modelled full-thickness skin wounds in 24 Wistar rats and treated them with distilled water (n = 6), 10 (n = 6), 50 (n = 6) and 100 μg (n = 6) for three post-operative days. On the fourth day, the excised wound tissues were studied by morphological, immunohistochemical and morphometric methods. Results We demonstrated that 50 μg of DNIC spray had the most beneficial effect on wound healing: the thickness of the granulation tissue layer was 140% higher, vimentin positive fibroblasts predominated and the intensity of inflammation was significantly lower than in the control. There was a dose-dependent decrease in the functional activity of mast cells in the experimental groups compared to the control. Conclusion DNIC spray is a potential effective dosage form for the treatment of large-area skin lesions.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is an important signaling molecule that is involved in a wide range of physiological and pathological events in biology. Metal coordination chemistry, especially with iron, is at the heart of many biological transformations involving NO. A series of heme proteins, nitric oxide synthases (NOS), soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC), and nitrophorins, are responsible for the biosynthesis, sensing, and transport of NO. Alternatively, NO can be generated from nitrite by heme- and copper-containing nitrite reductases (NIRs). The NO-bearing small molecules such as nitrosothiols and dinitrosyl iron complexes (DNICs) can serve as an alternative vehicle for NO storage and transport. Once NO is formed, the rich reaction chemistry of NO leads to a wide variety of biological activities including reduction of NO by heme or non-heme iron-containing NO reductases and protein post-translational modifications by DNICs. Much of our understanding of the reactivity of metal sites in biology with NO and the mechanisms of these transformations has come from the elucidation of the geometric and electronic structures and chemical reactivity of synthetic model systems, in synergy with biochemical and biophysical studies on the relevant proteins themselves. This review focuses on recent advancements from studies on proteins and model complexes that not only have improved our understanding of the biological roles of NO but also have provided foundations for biomedical research and for bio-inspired catalyst design in energy science.

Abstract
The antioxidant effect of dinitrosyl iron complexes (DNICs) was studied in various model systems. DNICs with glutathione ligands effectively inhibited Cu2+-induced peroxidation of low density lipoproteins (LDL). The antioxidant effect of DNICs with phosphate ligands and free reduced glutathione (GSH) was less pronounced. In addition, DNICs with glutathione suppressed the formation of reactive oxygen species during co-oxidation of lecithin liposomes and glucose. Free radical oxidation in this system was induced with a lipophilic azo initiator and evaluated by luminol-dependent chemiluminescence. NO sharply stimulated chemiluminescence during co-oxidation of glucose and liposomes, thus suggesting the formation of potent oxidants under these conditions. Glutathione DNICs scavenge the superoxide radical anion generated in the xanthine-xanthine oxidase system. Superoxide production was assessed by lucigenin-dependent chemiluminescence and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Chemiluminescence revealed the dose-dependent character of antiradical effect of glutathione DNICs; moreover, these complexes turned out to be more efficient than GSH. EPR spectra of the adducts of the DEPMPO spin trap with free radicals suggest that the interaction of glutathione DNICs and superoxide does not result in the formation of the thiyl radical of glutathione. Here we propose a mechanism of the antioxidant action of glutathione DNICs, suggesting that unstable intermediate complexes are formed upon their interaction with superoxide or lipid radicals. Further, as a result of intramolecular rearrangement, these intermediates decompose without the free radical as the by-products.

Abstract
Cardiac surgery, including cardioplegic arrest and extracorporeal circulation, causes endothelial dysfunction, which can lead to no-reflow phenomenon and reduction of myocardial pump function. Nitric oxide (NO) deficiency is involved in this pathologic process, thereby providing a fundamental basis for the use of NO replacement therapy. Presently used drugs and additives to cardioplegic and heart preservation solutions are not able to reliably protect endothelial cells and cardiomyocytes from ischemia-reperfusion injury. This review discusses promising NO-releasing compounds of various chemical classes for cardioplegia and reperfusion, which effectively maintain NO homeostasis under experimental conditions, and presents the mechanisms of their action on the cardiovascular system. Incomplete preclinical studies and a lack of toxicity assessment, however, hinder translation of these drug candidates into the clinic. Perspectives for modulation of endothelial function using NO-mediated mechanisms are discussed. They are based on the cardioprotective potential of targeting vascular gap junctions and endothelial ion channels, intracoronary administration of progenitor cells, and endothelial-specific microRNAs. Some of these strategies may provide important therapeutic benefits for human cardiovascular interventions.

Abstract
This review is focusing on the understanding of various factors and components governing and controlling the occurrence of ventricular arrhythmias including (i) the role of various ion channel-related changes in the action potential (AP), (ii) electrocardiograms (ECGs), (iii) some important arrhythmogenic mediators of reperfusion, and pharmacological approaches to their attenuation. The transmembrane potential in myocardial cells is depending on the cellular concentrations of several ions including sodium, calcium, and potassium on both sides of the cell membrane and active or inactive stages of ion channels. The movements of Na+, K+, and Ca2+ via cell membranes produce various currents that provoke AP, determining the cardiac cycle and heart function. A specific channel has its own type of gate, and it is opening and closing under specific transmembrane voltage, ionic, or metabolic conditions. APs of sinoatrial (SA) node, atrioventricular (AV) node, and Purkinje cells determine the pacemaker activity (depolarization phase 4) of the heart, leading to the surface manifestation, registration, and evaluation of ECG waves in both animal models and humans. AP and ECG changes are key factors in arrhythmogenesis, and the analysis of these changes serve for the clarification of the mechanisms of antiarrhythmic drugs. The classification of antiarrhythmic drugs may be based on their electrophysiological properties emphasizing the connection between basic electrophysiological activities and antiarrhythmic properties. The review also summarizes some important mechanisms of ventricular arrhythmias in the ischemic/reperfused myocardium and permits an assessment of antiarrhythmic potential of drugs used for pharmacotherapy under experimental and clinical conditions.

Abstract
Here, I present the data testifying that the conversion of free radical NO molecules to nitrosonium ions (NO+), which are necessary for the realization of one of NO biological effects (S-nitrosation), may occur in living organisms after binding NO molecules to loosely bound iron (Fe2+ ions) with the subsequent mutual one-electron oxidation-reduction of NO molecules (their disproportionation). Inclusion of thiol-containing substances as iron ligands into this process prevents hydrolysis of NO+ ions bound to iron thus providing the formation of stable dinitrosyl iron complexes (DNIC) with thiol ligands. Such complexes act in living organisms as donors of NO and NO+, providing stabilization and transfer of these agents via the autocrine and paracrine pathways. Without loosely bound iron (labile iron pool) and thiols participating in the DNIC formation, NO functioning as one of universal regulators of diverse metabolic processes would be impossible.
