Abstract
Neurodegenerative disorders are characterized by a progressive process of degeneration and neuronal death, where oxidative stress and neuroinflammation are key factors that contribute to the progression of these diseases. Therefore, two major pathways involved in these pathologies have been proposed as relevant therapeutic targets: The nuclear transcription factor erythroid 2 (Nrf2), which responds to oxidative stress with cytoprotecting activity; and the nuclear factor NF-κB pathway, which is highly related to the neuroinflammatory process by promoting cytokine expression. Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) is a phenylpropanoid naturally found in propolis that shows important biological activities, including neuroprotective activity by modulating the Nrf2 and NF-κB pathways, promoting antioxidant enzyme expression and inhibition of proinflammatory cytokine expression. Its simple chemical structure has inspired the synthesis of many derivatives, with aliphatic and/or aromatic moieties, some of which have improved the biological properties. Moreover, new drug delivery systems increase the bioavailability of these compounds in vivo, allowing its transcytosis through the blood-brain barrier, thus protecting brain cells from the increased inflammatory status associated to neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders. This review summarizes the biosynthesis and chemical synthesis of CAPE derivatives, their miscellaneous activities, and relevant studies (from 2010 to 2023), addressing their neuroprotective activity in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
The interaction of one anticancer drug (caffeic acid phenethyl ester, CAPE) with three proteases (trypsin, pepsin and α-chymotrypsin) has been investigated with multispectral methods and molecular docking. As an active components in propolis, the findings are of great benefit to metabolism, design and stuctural modification of drugs. The results show that CAPE has an obvious ability to quench the trypsin, pepsin, or α-chymotrypsin fluorescence mainly through a static quenching procedure. Trypsin has the largest binding affinity to CAPE, and α-chymotrypsin has the smallest binding affinity to CAPE. The data obtained from thermodynamic parameters and molecular docking prove that the spontaneously interaction between CAPE and each protease is mainly due to a combination of Van der Waals (vdW) force and hydrogen bond (H-bond), controlled by enthalpy-driven process. The binding force, strength, position, and the number of H-bond are further obtained from the results of molecular docking. Through ultraviolet spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS) and circular dichroism (CD) experiments, the change in the protease secondary structure induced by CAPE was observed. Additionally, the addition of protease had a positive impact on the antioxidative activity of CAPE, and α-chymotrypsin has the greatest impact on the removal of DPPH free radicals by CAPE.

In Vitro Antimicrobial Potential of CAPE and Caffeamide Derivatives against Oral Microbes. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23084099.

Abstract
Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) is a natural component isolated from propolis and used in traditional medicine. We aimed to investigate the antimicrobial properties and action mechanism of CAPE and caffeamide derivatives (26G and 36M) against oral disease microbes. We resolved the minimum inhibitory and bactericidal concentrations of 26G and 36M and their stability at different temperatures and pH. We also evaluated their effect on biofilm formation and antibiotic resistance gene expression in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Our results revealed that 26G and 36M showed the best anticancer and antimicrobial activities, respectively, compared with the other four caffeamide derivatives. Both 26G and 36M showed heat-dependent decreases in antimicrobial activity. The 36M derivative was stable irrespective of pH, whereas 26G was not stable under high pH conditions. Biofilm formation and antibiotic resistance-related gene expression were consistent with their respective phenotypes. This study provides evidence for the potential application of CAPE and caffeamide derivatives in dental medicine to cure or prevent oral diseases.

Integrated in silico - in vitro strategy for the discovery of potential xanthine oxidase inhibitors from Egyptian propolis and their synergistic effect with allopurinol and febuxostat. RSC Adv 2022; 12:2843-2872.

Abstract
Xanthine oxidase (XO) has been well-recognized as a validated target for the treatment of hyperuricemia and gout. Currently, there are two drugs in clinical use that shut down XO overactivity, allopurinol and febuxostat; however, detrimental side effects restrict their applications. Propolis is a unique natural adhesive biomass of structurally variable and biologically active metabolites that exert remarkable health benefits. Moreover, combination drug therapy has become a promising pharmacotherapeutic strategy directed for reformulating existing drugs into new combination entities with potentiating therapeutic impacts. In this study, computer-aided molecular docking and MD simulations accompanied by biochemical testing were used for mining novel pharmacologically active chemical entities from Egyptian propolis to combat hyperuricemia. Further, with a view to decrease the potential toxicity of synthetic drugs and enhance efficacy, propolis hits were subjected to combination analysis with each of allopurinol and febuxostat. More specifically, Glide docking was utilized for a structure-based virtual screening of in-house datasets comprising various Egyptian propolis metabolites. Rosmarinic acid, luteolin, techtochrysin and isoferulic acid were the most promising virtual hits. In vitro XO inhibitory assays demonstrated the ability of these hits to significantly inhibit XO in a dose-dependent manner. Molecular docking and MD simulations revealed a cooperative binding mode between the discovered hits and standard XO inhibitors within the active site. Subsequently, the most promising hits were tested in a fixed-ratio combination setting with allopurinol and febuxostat separately to assess their combined effects on XO catalytic inhibition. The binary combination of each techtochrysin and rosmarinic acid with febuxostat displayed maximal synergy at lower effect levels. In contrast, individually, techtochrysin and rosmarinic acid with allopurinol cooperated synergistically at high dose levels. Taken together, the suggested strategy seems imperative to ensure a steady supply of new therapeutic options sourced from Egyptian propolis to regress the development of hyperuricemia. Xanthine oxidase (XO) has been well-recognized as a validated target for the treatment of hyperuricemia and gout.![]()

Abstract
The production of free radicals is inevitably associated with metabolism and other enzymatic processes. Under physiological conditions, however, free radicals are effectively eliminated by numerous antioxidant mechanisms. Oxidative stress occurs due to an imbalance between the production and elimination of free radicals under pathological conditions. Oxidative stress is also associated with ageing. The brain is prone to oxidative damage because of its high metabolic activity and high vulnerability to ischemic damage. Oxidative stress, thus, plays a major role in the pathophysiology of both acute and chronic pathologies in the brain, such as stroke, traumatic brain injury or neurodegenerative diseases. The goal of this article is to summarize the basic concepts of oxidative stress and its significance in brain pathologies, as well as to discuss treatment strategies for dealing with oxidative stress in stroke.

Abstract
Our previous work demonstrated that amide is an efficient linker to explore chemical space of xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitors that are entirely different from febuxostat and topiroxostat. In this effort, with 3-cyano-1H-indol-5-yl as a key moiety, two series of amide-based XO inhibitors, N-(3-cyano-1H-indol-5-yl)isonicotinamides (2a-w) and N-(3-cyano-1H-indol-5-yl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-5-carboxamides (3a-i), were designed and synthesized. The structure-activity relationship investigation identified N-(3-cyano-1-cyclopentyl-1H-indol-5-yl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-5-carboxamide (3i, IC50 = 0.62 μM) as the most promising compound, with 14.4-fold higher in vitro inhibitory potency than allopurinol (IC50 = 8.91 μM). Molecular simulations provided reasonable interaction modes for the representative compounds. Furthermore, in vivo activity evaluation demonstrated that compound 3i (oral dose of 12.8 mg/kg) has obviously hypouricemic effect on a potassium oxonate induced hyperuricemic rat model. Cytotoxicity assay and ADME prediction also supported that 3i is an excellent lead for further exploration of amide-based XO inhibitors.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Flourensia fiebrigii is a plant used in traditional medicine in the Argentine Calchaquí Valley as purgative, expectorant, anti-rheumatic and anti-inflammatory. AIM OF THE STUDY The aim of this study was to analyze the macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of F. fiebrigii leaf and stem, the phytochemical composition of leaves ethanolic extracts and to validate its traditional use as anti-rheumatic and anti-inflammatory. MATERIALS AND METHODS The macroscopic and microscopic description of F. fiebrigii leaf and stem was carried out. Two extracts (immersions and tinctures) from leaves were obtained. The phytochemical analysis and UHPLC-OT-MS metabolome fingerprinting of both extracts were performed. The anti-rheumatic and anti-inflammatory activities of both extracts were determined using enzymatic inhibition assays of xanthine-oxidase (XOD), secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) and lipoxygenase (LOX). RESULTS The macroscopic and micrographic characters of F. fiebrigii were described to allow the botanical characterization of the plant species. The leaves extracts showed a high level of phenolic compounds with similar chromatographic patterns. Forty-five compounds were identified based on UHPLC-OT-MS including several sesquiterpenes, chalcones, flavonoids, isoflavonoids, a lignan and phenylpropanoids phenolic acids that have been identified for the first time in this plant species. F. fiebrigii extracts were able to inhibit the XOD activity and, consequently, the formation of uric acid and reactive oxygen species, primary cause of diseases, such as gouty arthritis (IC50 values of 1.10-2.12 μg/mL). Pro-inflammatory enzymes like sPLA2 and LOX were also inhibited by F. fiebrigii extracts (IC50 values of 22.00-2.20 μg/mL) decreasing the production of inflammation mediators. CONCLUSIONS The present work validates the traditional medicinal use of F. fiebrigii as anti-rheumatic and anti-inflammatory through the use of enzymatic assays. The presence of several chemical compounds with demonstrated anti-rheumatic and anti-inflammatory properties also supports the bioactivity of the F. fiebrigii.

Abstract
A multi-hyphenated analytical method that was successfully established in previous research was applied to quality evaluation of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to verify its feasibility in complex systems. Scutellariae Radix (SR), which significantly protects against oxidative damage from ischemia and reperfusion, was selected as the TCM for this study. A dual-activity detection system based on xanthine oxidase (XOD) inhibition and superoxide anion (O2-) scavenging activity was used to generate a multi-dimensional-multi-informational (MD-MI) integrated fingerprint of SR. Combined with HPLC-ESI-Q-TOF-MS analysis, 17 active compounds in SR were tentatively identified by comparison with reference substances or literature data. The quality of SR from different habitats was comprehensively and systematically evaluated in respect of chemical composition, XOD inhibition and O2- scavenging activity. It was confirmed that SR contains many antioxidants and XOD inhibitory substances with diverse functions. Among them, baicalin, norwogonin-7-O-glucuronide and baicalein are the main contributors to direct antioxidant activity. Acteoside, 5,7,2',5'-tetrahydroxy-8,6'-dimethoxy flavone, baicalin and baicalein are the main XOD inhibitory components of SR. Comprehensive analysis found that the antioxidant activity of SR from Gansu Province was superior to that from other provinces in terms of both XOD inhibition and O2- scavenging activity. It has been demonstrated that the method is capable of analyzing complex TCM matrices, and can provide a useful reference for establishing quality control of TCM from the perspective of MD-MI.

Abstract
The capsaicin in hot peppers is an important biological active substance that is widely used in food and medicine. In this work, six capsaicin derivatives such as N-(4-Hydroxy-3-acetophenone benzyl)acrylamide (A), 2-hydroxy-3-(octyloxy)phenyl-5-acrylamidemethylbenzene phenyl methanone (B), N-(2,5-dihydroxybenzene)acetamide (C), N-(5-acetamidemethyl benzene-2,4-dihydroxybenzene)acetamide (D), 4-acetamideme thylbenzene-2-benzylphenol (E), and N-(2-methyl-4-hydroxy-5-methylthiobenzene)acetamide (F) were synthesized via the Friedel-Crafts (F-C) alkylation reaction and were characterized using IR, 1 H NMR, and HRMS. The antioxidant activity of compounds was evaluated using the reducing power and DPPH radical (DPPH·) scavenging assays, and Vitamin C (Vc) was used as a control. The antibacterial activity was tested using minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) and antibacterial rate assays, and Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were used as the tested strain. The results showed that all six capsaicin derivatives had certain antioxidant and antibacterial activities, and the activities increased with increasing mass concentration. The best properties were obtained for compounds C and F; the antioxidant activity of compound C was similar to Vc and the MIC of compound F was 0.0313 mg/ml, its antibacterial rate was greater than 99% at 3 mg/ml. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: As a vegetable, peppers can be eaten fresh or processed to other forms such as pepper powder or pepper jam, and it is very popular because of its long history, unique flavor, and special functions. Our current study shows that capsaicin derivatives have good antioxidant and antibacterial activities, and therefore, the present study of capsaicin derivatives with good activity provides a good foundation for future applications in natural food additives and medicine.

Abstract
Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) is the major pharmacologically-active component of some propolis types, rich in polyphenols, such as poplar propolis types. CAPE has the potential to be applied as a pharmaceutical as it possesses most of the pharmacological activities of propolis, such as anti-proliferative, antioxidant, immunomodulatory, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial. Its advantage is that it lacks some of the downsides of total propolis extracts, such as inability for unified standardization, which is cornerstone for implementing its therapeutic potential as a drug. The current paper provides an overview on the pharmacodynamic principles of CAPE. We present literature search outcomes form ClinicalTrials.gov database and from scientific publications, available on Scopus and Crossref databases. We take a round view of CAPE’s potential therapeutic implications in light of approved drugs with related modes of action.

Catechol thioethers with physiologically active fragments: Electrochemistry, antioxidant and cryoprotective activities. Bioorg Chem 2019; 89:103003. [PMID: 31132599 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2019.103003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2019] [Revised: 05/15/2019] [Accepted: 05/19/2019] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
A number of asymmetrical thioethers based on 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol containing sulfur atom bonding with physiologically active groups in the sixth position of aromatic ring have been synthesized and the electrochemical properties, antioxidant, cryoprotective activities of new thioethers have been evaluated. Cyclic voltammetry was used to estimate the oxidation potentials of thioethers in acetonitrile. The electrooxidation of compounds at the first stage leads to the formation of o-benzoquinones. The antioxidant activities of the compounds were determined using 2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH) assay, experiments on the oxidative damage of the DNA, the reaction of 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane hydrochloride) (AAPH) induced glutathione depletion (GSH), the process of lipid peroxidation of rat liver (Wistar) homogenates in vitro, and iron(II) chelation test. Compounds 1-9 have greater antioxidant effectiveness than 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol (CatH2) in all assays. The variation of physiologically active groups at sulfur atom allows to regulate lipophilic properties and antioxidant activity of compounds. Thioethers 3, 4 and 7 demonstrate the combination of radical scavenging, antioxidant activity and iron(II) binding properties. The researched compounds 1-9 were studied as possible cryoprotectants of the media for cryopreservation of the Russian sturgeon sperm. Novel cryoprotective additives in cryomedium reduce significantly the content of membrane-permeating agent (DMSO). A cryoprotective effect of an addition of the catechol thioethers depends on the structure of groups at sulfur atom. The cryoprotective properties of compounds 3, 4 and 7 are caused by combination of catechol fragment, bonded by a thioether linker with a long hydrocarbon chain and a terminal ionizable group or with a biologically relevant acetylcysteine residue.
