Abstract
In the realm of nanotechnology, the use of algae to produce nanoparticles is an environmentally friendly, sustainable, and economically viable strategy. In the present study, the brown macroalgae Sargassum subrepandum was utilized to effectively produce silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). Through various characterization techniques, the AgNPs' structural integrity was confirmed. AgNPs exhibited significant antimicrobial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Fusarium equiseti. AgNPs showed cytotoxic effects on the MCF-7 breast adenocarcinoma cell line with an IC50 of 12.5 µg/ml. Treatment with AgNPs resulted in a marked reduction in cell viability, alongside evident apoptotic and necrotic morphological changes in the cancer cells. Through molecular docking studies, a deeper understanding of the interaction between AgNPs and crucial proteins related to cancer has been achieved, AgNPs showed a promising molluscicidal action on Biomphalaria alexandrina snails, a Schistosoma mansoni intermediate host. The half-lethal dose (LC50) of AgNPs was determined to be 0.84 mg/L. The potential consequences of its administration include potential disruptions to the glycolysis profile, as well as potential impacts on the steroidal hormone's estrogen and testosterone and certain kidney function tests. This study highlights the diverse uses of algae-synthesized AgNPs, ranging from healthcare to environmental management, demonstrating their importance in advancing nano-biotechnological solutions.

Toxicon 2023; 228:107127. [PMID: 37085055 DOI: 10.1016/j.toxicon.2023.107127] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2022] [Revised: 03/30/2023] [Accepted: 04/13/2023] [Indexed: 04/23/2023]
Abstract
Although all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is an efficient pattern in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) therapy, further studies are required due to the extant clinical limitations of ATRA. It has been reported that Silymarin, an anti-cancer herbal substance extracted from milk thistle (Silybum marianum), is able to regulate apoptosis in various types of cancer cells through different mechanisms of action. This study investigated the apoptosis-inducing effect of Silymarin (SM) alone and in combination with ATRA on human acute promyelocytic NB4 cells. Examination using MTT assay indicated that SM treatment leads to growth inhibition in NB4 cells in a dose-dependent manner. The IC50 values of SM and ATRA were calculated 90 μM and 2 μM, respectively. Cell cycle analysis by flow cytometry revealed that a more increase in the sub-G1 phase (a sign of apoptosis) when cells were exposed to SM in combination with ATRA. The incidence of apoptosis was confirmed through Hoechst 33258 staining and Annexin V-FITC analysis. The results showed that Silymarin enhances ATRA-induced apoptosis. The flow cytometric analysis also indicated an enhancement in levels of ROS in the treated cells with both compounds. The real-time PCR illustrated that SM targets apoptosis by down-regulation in Survivin and Bcl-2 while up-regulation in Bax. The findings showed that the combination of the two compounds is more effective in the induction of apoptosis in NB4 cells. Molecular docking studies indicated that Sylibin, as a primary compound of the SM, binds to the BH3 domain of Bcl-2 and the BIR domain of Survivin with various affinities. Based on the findings, it seems that SM used alone and in combination with ATRA may be beneficial for inducing apoptosis in APL cells.

Abstract
In this research retrieval effects of natural yellow (NY) on the performance of carmoisine (CAR) inhibited bovine liver catalase (BLC) was studied using multispectral and theoretical methods. Kinetic studies showed that CAR inhibited BLC through competitive inhibition (IC50 value of 2.24 × 10-6 M) while the addition of NY recover the activity of CAR-BLC up to 82% in comparison with the control enzyme. Circular dichroism data revealed that NY can repair the structural changes of BLC, affected by CAR. Furthermore, an equilibrium dialysis study indicated that NY could reduce the stability of the CAR-catalase complex. The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) data analysis indicated a high affinity of NY to BLC compared to CAR and the binding of NY led to a decrease in the affinity of the enzyme to the inhibitor. On the other hand, fluorescence and molecular docking studies showed that the quenching mechanism of BLC by CAR occurs through a static quenching process, and van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonding play a crucial role in the binding of CAR to BLC. MLSD data demonstrated that NY could increase the binding energy of CAR-BLC complex from -7.72 kJ mol-1 to -5.9 kJ mol-1, leading to complex instability and catalase activity salvage.

Abstract
The objective of the present study was to investigate the plasma levels of oxidative stress markers and the activity of antioxidant enzymes in NAFLD and healthy subjects. Furthermore, the interaction behaviors of malondialdehyde (MDA) with Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) enzyme were elucidated by molecular docking. The study involved 60 patients with NAFLD and 25 healthy volunteers. The plasma levels of oxidative stress parameters and antioxidant enzymes activity were determined. NAFLD patients had significantly higher alanine aminotransferase, MDA and nitric oxide metabolites values, as well as significantly lower total thiol and SOD activity than the control group. Based on the molecular docking, MDA could deactivate the enzymatic activity of SOD1. Impaired antioxidant defense systems may be involved in the progression of NAFLD. This study provides direct evidence at a molecular level to explain that MDA may exert its oxidant activity by specific action within the specific molecular pathway.HighlightsImpairing antioxidant defense systems may be a main factor in the progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).Increasing MDA and NO metabolites, as well as decreasing TSH values and SOD activity in NAFLD patients as compared to control subjectsIncreasing MDA level in NAFLD patients may be inactivate SOD activity by reaction with the key residues Cu ion inside active site of the enzyme catalytic site.

Abstract
We report an efficient iron-catalyzed cross-dehydrogenative coupling [4 + 2] annulation of secondary/tertiary anilines with quinazolinones to generate quinoline-spiroquinzolinones. The reaction proceeds smoothly with a relatively broad variety of functional groups, a cheap transition metal catalyst (FeCl3), and environmentally friendly oxidant (H2O2/O2) under mild reaction conditions. Creatively, N-methylanilines are employed for the first time for the cycloaddition as both methyl and methylene sources attached to the N atom of tetrahydroquinolines.

Abstract
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is the most prevalent cause of the systematic inflammatory arthritis that destroys the joints. While the pathogenesis of RA remains to be clarified, the imbalance in the oxidant and anti-oxidant defense system plays a crucial role. This study aims to evaluate oxidant and anti-oxidant levels of RA patients and their impacts on the activity of the disease via in silico studies. 28 patients who had not previously received any treatment for RA and 20 healthy controls were included. Their oxidative stress markers, antioxidant markers, and inflammatory factors were investigated via in silico studies. Compared to the Control Group, serum CRP levels, MDA levels, and XO activities were higher in RA Group. Cu/ZnSOD and GPx activities decreased while CAT activities remained unchanged. Besides, there was a positive correlation between MDA-serum CRP levels but a negative correlation between MDA levels-Cu/ZnSOD activities. Furthermore, we observed a negative correlation between CRP levels and Cu/ZnSOD activities. Based on these results, it was concluded that oxidative stress had increased, the defense system had weakened, and ROS production had increased. Finally, our study results with SOD and CAT activity were confirmed by molecular docking studies.

Abstract
The heterocyclic compounds have a great significance in medicinal chemistry because
they have extensive biological activities. Cancer is globally the leading cause of death
and it is a challenge to develop appropriate treatment for the management of cancer. Continuous
efforts are being made to find a suitable medicinal agent for cancer therapy. Nitrogencontaining
heterocycles have received noteworthy attention due to their wide and distinctive
pharmacological activities. One of the most important nitrogen-containing heterocycles in
medicinal chemistry is ‘quinazoline’ that possesses a wide spectrum of biological properties.
This scaffold is an important pharmacophore and is considered a privileged structure. Various
substituted quinazolines displayed anticancer activity against different types of cancer. This
review highlights the recent advances in quinazoline based molecules as anticancer agents.
Several in-vitro and in-vivo models used along with the results are also included. A subpart briefing natural quinazoline
containing anticancer compounds is also incorporated in the review.

Abstract
Ciprofloxacin derivatives belong to a family of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones. Recently, these compounds have been recommended for the treatment of cancer. In the present study, we assessed the cytotoxicity of several new synthetic ciprofloxacin derivatives and the apoptosis-inducing activity of the most efficient derivative in two human myeloid leukemia K562 and KG1-a cell lines. Among the prepared ciprofloxacin derivatives, 1-cyclopropyl-7-(4-(2-((3,7-dimethyloct-6-en-1-yl)oxy)-2-oxoethyl)piperazin-1-yl)-6-fluoro-4-oxo-1,4dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid (4-DMOCP) was more active compound with IC50 of 19.56 and 22.13 μM for K562 and KG1-a, respectively. Apoptotic activity of the 4-DMOCP was examined morphologically through Hoechst 33258 staining, Annexin V/PI double staining, and caspase-3 activity assays. Changes in the expression level of some apoptosis-related genes and protein, including Bcl-2, Bax, Survivin, p53, Caspase-8 and Caspase-9 were evaluated by the real-time quantitative PCR (qRT PCR) and western blotting. The qRT PCR analysis showed that 4-DMOCP induces apoptosis in both cell lines via the down-regulation of Survivin and Bcl2, up-regulation of caspase-8 and -9, as well as a time-dependent increase in the Bax/Bcl2 transcripts. The mRNA level of p53 was also increased in both cell lines. In addition, western blot analysis revealed that treatment with the compound, down-regulated the protein expression levels of Bcl2 and Survivin and up-regulated the protein level of Bax in both cell lines. These findings suggest that these new compounds can be good candidates for the treatment of acute and chronic myeloid leukemia.

Abstract
Jaceosidin a flavone abundant in Artemisia species has been used for its beneficial effects. This study investigated the apoptotic effect of jaceosidin treatment on MCF-7 human breast cancer cells at varying concentrations of (0, 10, 20 and 40 µM) for 24 and 48 h treatment times. Jaceosidin treatment induced a significant (p < 0.05) dose-dependent increase in apoptosis of MCF-7 cells. Jaceosidin similarly modulated the expressions of apoptosis-associated proteins, and revealing a coaction between Bax and Bcl-2, striking a balance between cell survival/cell deaths. Besides, a significant increase in pro-apoptotic expression of cleaved PARP which is a key executioner in apoptosis was observed. Apoptosis was confirmed in the cells by flow cytometry which indicated an early apoptosis (7%, 17%), as well as late apoptosis (36%, 40%) of the cells in varying percentages as treatment concentration increased. Thus, this study demonstrates that jaceosidin could be used as a potential treatment for breast cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Many experiments have revealed the anti-tumor activity of spiro-quinazolinone derivatives on different cell types. Exposing KG1-a cells to N-(4- tert- butyl- 4'- oxo- 1'H- spiro [cyclohexane- 1, 2'- quinazoline]- 3'(4'H)- yl)- 4- methyl benzenesulfonamide (4t-CHQ), as an active sub-component of spiroquinazolinone benzenesulfonamides, the experiment investigated the possible mechanisms that manifest the role of 4t-CHQ in leukemic KG1-a progenitor cells. Mechanistically, the inhibitory effects of 4t-CHQ on KG1-a cells emerge from its modulating function on the expression of Bax/Bcl2 and survinin proteins. METHODS Cell viability was assessed using MTT assay. The IC50 value of cells was calculated to be 131.3μM, after 72h-incubation with 4t-CHQ, ranging from 10 to 150μM. Apoptotic changes were studied using Acridine Orange/Ethidium Bromide (AO/EB) staining. DNA fragmentation was analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis method. To evaluate the percentage of apoptotic cells and cell growth dynamic apoptotic features, we performed Annexin V/PI double staining assay and cell cycle analysis by flow cytometry. RESULTS According to the results, apoptosis induction was initiated by 4t-CHQ in the KG1-a cells (at IC50 value). Cell dynamic analysis revealed that the cell cycle at the G1 phase was arrested after treatment with 4t- CHQ. Western blotting analysis showed enhancement in the expression ratio of Bax/Bcl-2, while the expression of survinin protein decreased in a time-dependent manner in the KG1-a cells. According to the docking simulation data, the effectiveness of 4t-CHQ on KG1-a cells commenced by its reactions with the functional domain of BH3 and Bcl2 and BIR domains of survivin protein. CONCLUSION These results demonstrate a remarkable role of 4t- CHQ in arresting leukemia KG1-a stem cells both by induction of apoptosis as well as by down-regulating survivin and Bcl2 proteins.

Abstract
Although it has been widely considered that all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is an efficient therapeutic agent for acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), there is an urgent need for extending and examining new therapeutics in medicine. Dithiocarbamates (DTCs) are one of the recent important chemical synthetic compounds used in cancer therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the apoptosis-inducing effect of 2-nitro-1-phenylethylpiperidine-1-carbodithioate (2-NDC) as an active derivative from DTCs, in combination with ATRA on human APL NB4 cells. The viability of treated NB4 cells was measured by 3-(4,5-dimethyltiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay in various concentrations (10-120 µM). The proapoptotic effects of 2-NDC were investigated by acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining, DNA ladder formation, and flow cytometry. We also assessed the oxidative stress-inducing effect of 2-NDC and in combination with ATRA on the NB4 cells. The alteration in gene expression levels of Bax, Bcl2, and Survivin was measured through a real-time polymerase chain reaction. Furthermore, we redetected the interaction between 2-NDC and antiapoptotic proteins Bcl2 and Survivin via molecular docking. We found that 2-NDC induced apoptosis in NB4 cells in a time-dosage-dependent manner. Also, 2-NDC triggered apoptosis by expanding intracellular reactive oxygen species, combined with ATRA. Bax/Bcl2 ratio was modulated and Survivin was downregulated in NB4 cells upon 2-NDC treatment. Molecular docking studies indicated that 2-NDC binds to the baculovirus inhibitor of apoptosis protein repeat domain of Survivin and Bcl homology 3 domain of Bcl2 with various affinities. Based on the present observations, it seems that this derivative can be estimated as an appropriate candidate for future pharmaceutical evaluations.

Abstract
This paper presents the synthesis and evaluation of physicochemical behavior of a new series of N-alkyl-bis-o-aminobenzamides (BOABs) in aqueous solution. The study was targeted to the complexing capacity of five metal ions (Fe2+, Cu2+, Cd2+, Hg2+ and Pb2+) of environmental concern as the medullar principle of a liquid phase sensor for its application in the determination of these metal ions due to its versatility of use. Molecular fluorescence, UV-visible and Zeta potential were measured for five BOABs and the effect of alkyl groups with different central chain length (n = 3, 4, 6, 8 and 10) on physicochemical performance determined. The results have shown that these derivatives present higher sensibility and selectivity for Cu2+ even in the presence of the other metal ions. An additional application test was done adding a pectin (0.1 wt %) solution to the BOAB-Cu+2 complex to obtain a precipitate (flocs) as a potential selective separation process of Cu from aqueous solution. The solid was then lyophilized and analyzed by SEM-EDS, the images showed spheric forms containing Cu+2 with diameter of approximately of 8 μm and 30 wt %.

Abstract
Stilbene derivatives have been found to possess promising anticancer activities against human cancer cell lines in vitro. In the present study, we have investigated cytotoxic, apoptosis induction and DNA binding activity of new stilbene derivative, (E)-1-(4-Chlorophenyl)-4,5-diphenyl-2-[4-(4-methoxystryl)phenyl]-1H-imidazol (STIM) on K562 chronic myeloid leukemia cell line. Via MTT assay STIM demonstrated cytotoxic activity against K562 cell line with IC50 value of 150 µM. Apoptosis, as the mechanism of cell death, was evaluated by morphological study and flow cytometric analysis. In vitro DNA binding property of STIM has been studied by vital spectroscopic techniques, which indicated that STIM interact with ctDNA through groove binding mode and binding constant (Kb) was estimated to be 6.9 × 104 M-1. Docking studies revealed that hydrophobic is the most important interaction in STIM-DNA complex, and that the ligand (STIM) interacts with DNA via groove binding mode and the bindiyspng energy was calculated as -13.37 kcal/mol. Taken together, the present study suggests that STIM exhibits anticancer effect on K562 cell line through the induction of apoptosis as well as cell cycle arrest at Sub-G1 phase and also can bind to double helix DNA in vitro.

Abstract
Background:
The tyrosine kinase inhibitor, imatinib, used as a first line treatment in Chronic Myeloid
Leukemia (CML) patients, may lead to resistance and failure to therapy. Novel combinations of imatinib
with other drugs is a strategy to improve treatment efficiency.
Objective:
In this study, the antileukemic and apoptotic effects of a benzamide derivative XT5 and benzoxazole
derivative XT2B and their combination with imatinib were investigated in imatinib-sensitive (K562S) and
imatinib-resistant (K562R) CML cells.
Methods:
In vitro cytotoxicity was determined by MTT assay. Then, apoptotic effect of XT5 on CML cell lines
was tested by Annexin V flow cytometry, caspase activation and RT-PCR. Docking calculation was performed
using AutoDock Vina in PyMOL environment using AutoDock/Vina plugin for PyMOL.
Results:
According to our MTT assay data, XT5 indicated significant antiproliferative effect on cell lines, therefore
we investigated apoptotic effects of XT5. Treatment of K562 cell lines with a combination of XT5 and
imatinib-XT5 increased cytotoxicity, the Annexin V binding and caspase 3/7 activation. In addition to apoptosis
assays, we observed an increase in the expression levels of the pro-apoptotic (BAX, BAD and BIM) genes in
XT5 treated K562R and K562S cells. Molecular modelling experiments showed that XT5 showed hydrogenbonding
interactions with important amino acids of BCR-ABL kinase receptor; however XT2B did not show
any hydrogen bond interaction.
Conclusion:
Our results indicate that XT5 could be a potential candidate to be used as a new anticancer drug
and XT5 combination with imatinib as an alternate treatment strategy for overcoming imatinib resistance.

Abstract
Seleno-short-chain chitosan (SSCC) was a synthesized chitosan derivative with the molecular weight of 4826.986 Da. The study is aimed to investigate cytotoxicity of SSCC on human breast cancer MCF-7 and BT-20 cells and explore apoptosis-related mechanism in vitro. The MTT (3- [4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2, 5-diphenylterazolium bromide) assay showed that SSCC exhibited significantly cytotoxic effects on MCF-7 and BT-20 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner, and the effective inhibitory concentration was 100 μg/ml and 200 μg/ml, respectively. Apoptosis assay of these two kinds of cells was determined by Hoechst 33,342/PI and Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining. The cell cycle assay showed that SSCC triggered S and G2/M phase cell cycle arrest in MCF-7 cells and S phase cell cycle arrest in BT-20 cells in a time-dependent manner. Further studies demonstrated that SSCC led to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the disruption of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) in these two kinds of cells. N- acetyl-L cysteine (NAC), as a radical scavenger, significantly inhibited the generation of ROS and decreased the apoptosis of MCF-7 and BT-20 cells. Moreover, the expression of mitochondrial apoptosis-related proteins was detected by western blot assay. SSCC up-regulated the expression of Bax, down-regulated the expression of Bcl-2, subsequently increased the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria to cytoplasm, and activated the cleavage of caspase-9 and -3, which finally induced apoptosis in MCF-7 and BT-20 cells in vitro. Consequently, these data indicated that SSCC could induce apoptosis of MCF-7and BT-20 cells in vitro by mitochondrial pathway.

Abstract
A series of benzamide and picolinamide derivatives containing dimethylamine side chain (4a–4c and 7a–7i) were synthesised and evaluated for acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibitory activity in vitro. Structure–activity relationship investigation revealed that the substituted position of dimethylamine side chain markedly influenced the inhibitory activity and selectivity against AChE and BChE. In addition, it seemed that the bioactivity of picolinamide amide derivatives was stronger than that of benzamide derivatives. Among them, compound 7a revealed the most potent AChE inhibitory activity (IC50: 2.49 ± 0.19 μM) and the highest selectivity against AChE over BChE (Ratio: 99.40). Enzyme kinetic study indicated that compound 7a show a mixed-type inhibition against AChE. The molecular docking study revealed that this compound can bind with both the catalytic site and the peripheral site of AChE.
