Abstract
In this paper, we attempted to develop a novel class of compounds against lipoxygenase, a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of leukotrienes implicated in a series of inflammatory diseases. Given the absence of appropriate human 5-lipoxygenase crystallographic data, solved soybean lipoxygenase-1 and -3 structures were used as a template to generate an accurate pharmacophore model which was further used for virtual screening purposes. Eight compounds (1-8) have been derived from the in-house library consisting of N-substituted pyrroles conjugated with 5- or 6-indazole moieties through a carboxamide linker. This study led to the discovery of hit molecule 8 bearing a naphthyl group with the IC50 value of 22 μM according to soybean lipoxygenase in vitro assay. Isosteric replacement of naphthyl ring with quinoline moieties and reduction of carbonyl carboxamide group resulted in compounds 9-12 and 13, respectively. Compound 12 demonstrated the most promising enzyme inhibition. In addition, compounds 8 and 12 were found to reduce the carrageenan-induced paw edema in vivo by 52.6 and 49.8%, respectively. In view of the encouraging outcomes concerning their notable in vitro and in vivo anti-inflammatory activities, compounds 8 and 12 could be further optimized for the discovery of novel 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors in future. A structure-based 3D pharmacophore model was used in the virtual screening of in-house library to discover novel potential 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors.

Identification of NSAIDs as lipoxygenase inhibitors through highly sensitive chemiluminescence method, expression analysis in mononuclear cells and computational studies. Bioorg Chem 2021; 110:104818. [PMID: 33784531 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2021.104818] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2020] [Revised: 02/14/2021] [Accepted: 03/06/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Here we report the inhibitory effects of nine non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on soybean 15-lipoxygenase (15-LOX) enzyme (EC 1.13.11.12) by three different methods; UV-absorbance, colorimetric and chemiluminescence methods. Only two drugs, Ibuprofen and Ketoprofen, exhibited enzyme inhibition by UV-absorbance method but none of the drug showed inhibition through colorimetric method. Chemiluminescence method was found highly sensitive for the identification of 15-LOX inhibitors and it was more sensitive and several fold faster than the other methods. All tested drugs showed 15-LOX-inhibition with IC50 values ranging from 3.52 ± 0.08 to 62.6 ± 2.15 µM by chemiluminescence method. Naproxen was the most active inhibitor (IC50 3.52 ± 0.08 µM) followed by Aspirin (IC50 4.62 ± 0.11 µM) and Acetaminophen (IC50 6.52 ± 0.14 µM). Ketoprofen, Diclofenac and Mefenamic acid showed moderate inhibitory profiles (IC50 24.8 ± 0.24 to 39.62 ± 0.27 µM). Piroxicam and Tenoxicam were the least active inhibitors with IC50 values of 62.6 ± 2.15 µM and 49.5 ± 1.13 µM, respectively. These findings are supported by expression analysis, molecular docking studies and density functional theory calculations. The expression analysis and flow cytometry apoptosis analysis were carried out using mononuclear cells (MNCs) which express both human 15-LOX and 5-LOX. Selected NSAIDs did not affect the cytotoxic activity of MNCs at IC50 concentrations and the cell death showed dose dependent effect. However, MNCs apoptosis increased only at the higher concentrations, demonstrating that these drugs may not induce loss of immunity in septic and other inflammatory conditions at the acceptable inhibitory concentrations. The data collectively suggests that NSAIDs not only inhibit COX enzymes as reported in the literature but soybean 15-LOX and MNCs LOXs are also inhibited at differential values. A comparison of the metabolomics studies of arachidonic acid pathway after inhibition of either COX or LOX enzymes may reconfirm these findings.

Abstract
Hunting small molecules as anti-inflammatory agents/drugs is an expanding and successful approach to treat several inflammatory diseases such as cancer, asthma, arthritis, and psoriasis. Besides other methods, inflammatory diseases can be treated by lipoxygenase inhibitors, which have a profound influence on the development and progression of inflammation. In the present study, a series of new N-alkyl/aralky/aryl derivatives (7a-o) of 2-(4-phenyl-5-(1-phenylcarbamoyl)piperidine-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-ylthio)acetamide was synthesized and screened for their inhibitory potential against the enzyme 15-lipoxygenase. The simple precursor ethyl piperidine-4-carboxylate (a) was successively converted into phenylcarbamoyl derivative (1), hydrazide (2), semicarbazide (3) and N-phenylated 5-(1-phenylcarbamoyl)piperidine-1,2,4-triazole (4), then in combination with electrophiles (6a-o) through further multistep synthesis, final products (7a-o) were generated. All the synthesized compounds were characterized by FTIR, 1H, 13C NMR spectroscopy, EIMS, and HREIMS spectrometry. Almost all the synthesized compounds showed excellent inhibitory potential against the tested enzyme. Compounds 7c, 7f, 7d, and 7g displayed potent inhibitory potential (IC50 9.25 ± 0.26 to 21.82 ± 0.35 µM), followed by the compounds 7n, 7h, 7e, 7a, 7b, 7l, and 7o with IC50 values in the range of 24.56 ± 0.45 to 46.91 ± 0.57 µM. Compounds 7c, 7f, 7d exhibited 71.5 to 83.5% cellular viability by MTT assay compared with standard curcumin (76.9%) when assayed at 0.125 mM concentration. In silico ADME studies supported the drug-likeness of most of the molecules. In vitro inhibition studies were substantiated by molecular docking wherein the phenyl group attached to the triazole ring was making a π-δ interaction with Leu607. This work reveals the possibility of a synthetic approach of compounds in relation to lipoxygenase inhibition as potential lead compounds in drug discovery.

Abstract
Objective(s): Allylbenzenes have been recently developed as inhibitors of lipoxygenases. They decrease peroxidation activity via mimicking 1,4-unsaturated bonds of fatty acids by their allyl portion. We designed and synthesized new derivatives of allyl benzenes (6a-f) with isopropoxy and amide substituents at ortho and meta positions towards allyl group, respectively. The inhibitory potency of the synthetized allylbenzenes against soybean 15-lipoxygenase (SLO) and subsequently structure-activity relationships was assessed. Materials and Methods: 3-allyl-4-isopropoxybenzenamine (5) as starting material was synthesized by coupling of 4-nitropheol with allyl bromide, performing Claisen rearrangement and finally reduction of the nitro moiety. Final products 6a-f were prepared via amidation of 5 with the desired acyl chloride. Results: Among the compounds, N-(3-allyl-4-isopropoxyphenyl)adamantan carboxamide (6f) potentially showed best inhibition (IC50 = 1.35 µM) while 6a with cyclopropyl carboxamide moiety was the weakest inhibitor and 6e with phenyl carboxamide moiety showed no effect. Energy minimized 3D structures of the compounds were docked into the active site pocket of SLO. For the aliphatic amides, docking results showed compatibility between inhibitory potency and average Ki of the cluster conformers, in which their allyl moiety oriented towards SLO iron core. For the aliphatic analogs, by enlargement of the amide moiety size the inhibitory potency was increased. Conclusion: Docking results showed that orientation of the amide and allyl moieties of the inhibitors in the active site pocket is the major factor in inhibitory potency variation. Based on the mentioned orientation, for cycloaliphatic amides, by enlargement of the amide moiety both inhibition potency and calculated binding energy increases.

Abstract
Objective(s): 15-Lipoxygenases are one of the iron-containing proteins capable of performing peroxidation of unsaturated fatty acids in animals and plants. The critical role of enzymes in the formation of inflammations, sensitivities, and some cancers has been demonstrated in mammals. The importance of enzymes has led to the development of mechanistic studies, product analysis, and synthesis of inhibitors. Materials and Methods: The inhibitory activity of all synthetic compounds against SLO (soybean 15-lipoxygenase: L1; EC 1,13,11,12) was determined using the peroxide formation method. In this method, the basis of evaluation of lipoxygenase activity is measuring the concentration of fatty acid peroxide. All measurements were compared with 4-methyl-2-(4-methylpiperazinyl)pyrimido[4,5-b]benzothiazine (4-MMPB) as one of the known lipoxygenase inhibitors. The radical scavenging ability of all synthetic compounds using stable free radicals (DPPH: 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) was measured for further investigation. Results: In this study, a series of esters from phenolic acids with terpenoid alcohols was synthesized and their inhibitory potency against soybean 15-lipoxygenase and their free radical scavenging properties were determined. Among the synthetic compounds, adamantyl protocatetuate 2j and bornyl protocatetuate 2o showed the most potent inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 0.95 and 0.78 μm, respectively. Conclusion: By changing the alcohol and acyl portions of stylosin, it was found that electronic properties play main role in lipoxygenase inhibition potency in contrast with steric features. Insertion of more reductive phenolic moiety such as catechuate and gallate lead to more lipoxygenase inhibition potency of the esters as observed in their radical scavenging activity.

Abstract
To investigate the anti-Saprolegnia activities of chalconic compounds, nine dialkoxychalcones 2–10, along with their key building block 2′,4′-dihydroxychalcone 1, were evaluated for their potential oomycide activities against Saprolegnia australis strains. The synthesis afforded a series of O-alkylated derivatives with typical chalcone skeletons. Compounds 4–10 were reported for the first time. Interestingly, analogue 8 with the new scaffold demonstrated remarkable in vitro growth-inhibitory activities against Saprolegnia strains, displaying greater anti-oomycete potency than the standard drugs used in the assay, namely fluconazole and bronopol. In contrast, a dramatic loss of activity was observed for O-alkylated derivatives 2, 3, 6, and 7. These findings have highlighted the therapeutic potential of the natural compound 1 scaffold to be exploitable as a drug lead with specific activity against various Saprolegnia strains.

Abstract
An efficient synthesis of a series of 4′-oxyalkyl-isocordoin analogues (2–8) is reported for the first time. Their structures were confirmed by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and HRMS. Their anti-oomycete activity was evaluated by mycelium and spores inhibition assay against two selected pathogenic oomycetes strains: Saprolegnia parasitica and Saprolegnia australis. The entire series of isocordoin derivatives (except compound 7) showed high inhibitory activity against these oomycete strains. Among them, compound 2 exhibited strong activity, with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum oomyceticidal concentration (MOC) values of 50 µg/mL and 75 µg/mL, respectively. The results showed that 4′-oxyalkylated analogues of isocordoin could be potential anti-oomycete agents.

Abstract
A series of novel oxyalkylchalcones substituted with alkyl groups were designed and synthesized, and the antioomycete activity of the series was evaluated in vitro against Saprolegnia strains. All tested O-alkylchalcones were synthesized by means of nucleophilic substitution from the natural compound 2′,4′-dihydroxychalcone (1) and the respective alkyl bromide. The natural chalcone (1) and 10 synthetic oxyalkylchalcones (2–11) were tested against Saprolegnia parasitica and Saprolegnia australis. Among synthetic analogs, 2-hydroxy,4-farnesyloxychalcone (11) showed the most potent activity against Saprolegnia sp., with MIC and MOC values of 125 µg/mL (similar to bronopol at 150 µg/mL) and 175 µg/mL, respectively; however, 2′,4′-dihydroxychalcone (1) was the strongest and most active molecule, with MIC and MOC values of 6.25 µg/mL and 12.5 µg/mL.

Abstract
All of the mono isopentenyloxy, -geranyloxy and -farnesyloxy derivatives of coumarin were synthesized and their inhibitory potency against soybean 15-lipoxygenase (SLO) and human 15-lipoxygenase-1 (HLO-1) were determined. Amongst the synthetic analogs, 5-farnesyloxycoumarin showed the most potent inhibitory activity against SLO (IC(50) = 0.8 μM) while 6-farnesyloxycoumarin was the strongest HLO-1 inhibitor (IC(50) = 1.3 μM). The IC(50) variations of the farnesyl derivatives for HLO-1 (1.3 to ∼75 μM) were much higher than that observed for SLO (0.8-5.8 μM). SAR studies showed that hydrogen bonding, CH/π, anion-π and S-OC interactions with Fe(III)-OH, Leu408, Glu357 and Met419 were the distinct intermolecular interactions which can lead to important role of the coumarin substitution site in HLO-1 inhibitory potency, respectively.

Abstract
A series of 4,5-diaryl-1H-imidazole-2(3H)-thione was synthesized and their inhibitory potency against soybean 15-lipoxygenase and free radical scavenging activities were determined. Compound 11 showed the best IC(50) for 15-LOX inhibition (IC(50) = 4.7 μM) and free radical scavenging activity (IC(50) = 14 μM). Methylation of SH at C(2) position of imidazole has dramatically decreased the 15-LOX inhibition and radical scavenging activity as it can be observed in the inactive compound 14 (IC(50) >250 μM). Structure activity similarity (SAS) showed that the most important chemical modification in this series was methylation of SH group and Docking studies revealed a proper orientation for SH group towards Fe core of the 15-LOX active site. Therefore it was concluded that iron chelating could be a possible mechanism for enzyme inhibition in this series of compounds.

Abstract
15-Lipoxygenases are one of the nonheme iron-containing proteins with ability of unsaturated lipid peroxidation in animals and plants. The critical role of the enzymes in formation of inflammations, sensitivities and some of cancers has been demonstrated in mammalians. Importance of the 15-lipoxygenases leads to development of mechanistic studies, products analysis and synthesis of their inhibitors. In this work new series of the 3-allyl-4-allyoxyaniline amides and 3-allyl-4-prenyloxyaniline amides were designed, synthesized and their inhibitory potency against soybean 15-lipoxygenase were determined. Among the synthetic amides, 3-allyl-4-(farnesyloxy)-adamantanilide showed the most potent inhibitory activity by IC(50) value of 0.69 μM. SAR studies showed that in spite of prenyl length increases, the effects of the amide size and its electronic properties on the inhibitory potency became predominant. The SAR studies was also showed that the orientation of allyl and prenyloxy moieties toward Fe core of the SLO active site pocket is the most suitable location for enzyme inhibition.

Abstract
Because covalent chemistry can diminish the optical and electronic properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), there is significant interest in developing methods of controllably functionalizing the nanotube sidewall. To date, most attempts at obtaining such control have focused on reaction stoichiometry or strength of oxidative treatment. Here, we examine the role of surfactants in the chemical modification of single-walled carbon nanotubes with aryl diazonium salts. The adsorbed surfactant layer is shown to affect the diazonium derivatization of carbon nanotubes in several ways, including electrostatic attraction or repulsion, steric exclusion, and direct chemical modification of the diazonium reactant. Electrostatic effects are most pronounced in the cases of anionic sodium dodecyl sulfate and cationic cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, where differences in surfactant charge can significantly affect the ability of the diazonium ion to access the SWCNT surface. For bile salt surfactants, with the exception of sodium cholate, we find that the surfactant wraps tightly enough such that exclusion effects are dominant. Here, sodium taurocholate exhibits almost no reactivity under the explored reaction conditions, while for sodium deoxycholate and sodium taurodeoxycholate, we show that the greatest extent of reaction is observed among a small population of nanotube species, with diameters between 0.88 and 0.92 nm. The anomalous reaction of nanotubes in this diameter range seems to imply that the surfactant is less effective at coating these species, resulting in a reduced surface coverage on the nanotube. Contrary to the other bile salts studied, sodium cholate enables high selectivity toward metallic species and small band gap semiconductors, which is attributed to surfactant-diazonium coupling to form highly reactive diazoesters. Further, it is found that the rigidity of anionic surfactants can significantly influence the ability of the surfactant layer to stabilize the diazonium ion near the nanotube surface. Such Coulombic and surfactant packing effects offer promise toward employing surfactants to controllably functionalize carbon nanotubes.

Abstract
Many algae contain secondary metabolites with the potential to gain importance as pharmaceutically active secretions. Caulerpa racemosa var. cylindracea and Caulerpa prolifera are very abundant on the Mediterranean coastlines. The methanolic extracts of C. racemosa and C. prolifera were tested for inhibitory effects on soybean lipoxygenase. The extract of C. prolifera showed potent inhibitory effect in a lipoxygenase enzyme activity assay. HPLC comparison revealed that C. racemosa extract contained less caulerpenyne, the major secondary metabolite of both algae. In accordance with these findings, purified caulerpenyne inhibited lipoxygenase with an IC(50) of 5.1 μM. The enzyme kinetic studies indicated that both K (M) and V (max) decreased from 0.041 to 0.019 mM and 312.5 to 151.5 U mL(-1) in the presence of 5 µM caulerpenyne, revealing an un-competitive type of inhibition kinetics. The major secondary metabolite of Caulerpa species, caulerpenyne, is thus a novel lipoxygenase inhibitor that can be easily obtained in high quantities from the abundant algae.

Abstract
A series of C7-O- and C20-O-amidated 2,3-dehydrosilybin (DHS) derivatives ((+/-)-1a-f and (+/-)-2), as well as a set of alkenylated DHS analogues ((+/-)-4a-f), were designed and de novo synthesized. A diesteric derivative of DHS ((+/-)-3) and two C23 esterified DHS analogues ((+/-)-5a and (+/-)-5b) were also prepared for comparison. The cell viability of PC12 cells, Fe(2+) chelation, lipid peroxidation (LPO), free radical scavenging, and xanthine oxidase inhibition models were utilized to evaluate their antioxidative and neuron protective properties. The study revealed that the diether at C7-OH and C20-OH as well as the monoether at C7-OH, which possess aliphatic substituted acetamides, demonstrated more potent LPO inhibition and Fe(2+) chelation compared to DHS and quercetin. Conversely, the diallyl ether at C7-OH and C20-OH was more potent in protection of PC12 cells against H(2)O(2)-induced injury than DHS and quercetin. Overall, the more lipophilic alkenylated DHS analogues were better performing neuroprotective agents than the acetamidated derivatives. The results in this study would be beneficial for optimizing the therapeutic potential of lignoflavonoids, especially in neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
