Arch Physiol Biochem 2024:1-7. [PMID: 39105458 DOI: 10.1080/13813455.2024.2387691] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2024] [Revised: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 07/28/2024] [Indexed: 08/07/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary artery spasm is among the etiology of myocardial infarction. Oxidative stress is involved in the pathogenesis of coronary artery spasm (CAS). Paraoxonase-1 (PON1) is an HDL-bound antioxidant enzyme that protects LDL from oxidative modification. Oxidative-stress-related genetic factors and certain polymorphisms in the paraoxonase 1 gene might influence the pathogenesis of CAS. We aimed to investigate the association between PON1 gene polymorphism and its enzymatic activity and coronary artery spasm during cardiac catheterization. METHODS AND RESULTS The study population was 150 patients who underwent elective coronary angiography. Subjects were genotyped to the Q192R polymorphism (rs662) on the PON1 gene by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP), and PON1 activity was quantitatively analyzed by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Results showed that the subjects carrying the RR genotype and R allele were significantly more likely to develop coronary artery spasm (OR=4.2, 2.03, P< 0.006, P˂0.02, respectively). Moreover, serum PON1 levels were significantly decreased (P˂0.001) in the CAS group. RR genotype of PON1 Q192R polymorphism, Tc, LDLc, TG, catheter size, and paroxonase-1 serum level are independent predictors of coronary spasm. CONCLUSION We conclude that the PON1 (rs662) gene polymorphism is associated with CAS during cardiac catheterization in Egyptians. The PON1-192R allele and lower serum enzyme concentration may play an important role in coronary spasm.

Özaslan MS. Investigation of Potential Effects of Some Indole Compounds on the Glutathione S-Transferase Enzyme. BIOCHEMISTRY. BIOKHIMIIA 2024; 89:553-561. [PMID: 38648772 DOI: 10.1134/s0006297924030131] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2023] [Revised: 02/23/2024] [Accepted: 02/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024]
Abstract
Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) belong to the superfamily of multifunctional detoxification isoenzymes with an important role in cellular signaling. They can prevent reactive electrophilic compounds from harming the body by covalently binding identical type of moleculs to each other. GSTs can be used alone or in combination for cancer detection or diagnosis, in addition to therapeutic interventions. In recent years, indoles have become important due to their structural properties and biological activities such as antitubercular, antiulcer, anti-oxidant, and antidiabetic, as well as for the development of new anticancer agents. The current research investigated effects of some indoles with 3-carboxaldehyde structure on the GST enzyme activity. Impacts of various concentrations of indoles on the in vitro GST activity were examined. While IC50 values for the compounds ranged from 0.042 to 1.570 mM, Ki values changed between 0.018 ± 0.01 and 1.110 ± 0.15 mM. 6-Methylindole-3-carboxaldehyde (1b) exhibited the highest inhibitory effect among the indoles examined. Indole derivatives used in the study can be evaluated in further pharmacological studies due to their effects on GST activity.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis and cognitive impairment are both influenced by hyperlipidemia. Due to their high margin of safety and low cost, natural chemicals have recently attracted particular attention in the context of the treatment of disease. Hence, the purpose of this study was to investigate the possible amendatory impact of ethanol extract walnut (Juglans regia) seed coat (E-WSC) on some metabolic enzymes (glutathione reductase (GR), paraoxonase-1 (PON1), aldose reductase (AR), sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH), acetylcholinesterase (AChE), glutathione S-transferase (GST), and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE)) activity in the liver, kidney, and heart of rats with Triton WR-1339-induced hyperlipidemia. Rats were divided into five groups: control group, HL-Control group (Triton WR-1339 400 mg/kg, i.p administered group), E- WSC + 150 (150 mg/kg,o.d given group), E- WSC + 300 (E- WSC 300 mg/kg, o.d given group) and HL+ E-WSC + 300 (Group receiving E- WSC 300 mg/kg, o.d 30 min prior to administration of Triton WR-1339 400 mg/kg, i.p). In HL-Control, AR, SDH, and BChE enzyme activity was significantly increased in all tissues compared to the control, while the activity of other studied enzymes was significantly decreased. The effects of hyperlipidemia on balance were improved and alterations in the activity of the investigated metabolic enzymes were prevented by E-WSC. As a result, promising natural compounds that can be used as adjuvant therapy in the treatment of cognitive disorders and hyperlipidemia may be found in E-WSC powder.

Abstract
Paraoxonase-1 (PON1) is a calcium-dependent, HDL-bound serum hydrolase active toward a wide variety of substrates. PON1 displays three types of activities, among which lactonase, paraoxonase, arylesterase and phosphotriesterase can be distinguished. Not only is this enzyme a major organophosphate compound detoxifier, but it is also an important constituent of the cellular antioxidant system and has anti-inflammatory and antiatherogenic functions. The concentration and activity of PON1 is highly variable among individuals, and these differences can be both of genetic origin and be a subject of epigenetic regulation. Owing to the fact that, in recent decades, the exposure of humans to an increasing number of different xenobiotics has been continuously rising, the issues concerning the role and activity of PON1 shall be reconsidered with particular attention to growing pharmaceuticals intake, dietary habits and environmental awareness. In the following manuscript, the current state of knowledge concerning the influence of certain modifiable and unmodifiable factors, including smoking, alcohol intake, gender, age and genotype variation on PON1 activity, along with pathways through which these could interfere with the enzyme's protective functions, is presented and discussed. Since exposure to certain xenobiotics plays a key role in PON1 activity, the influence of organophosphates, heavy metals and several pharmaceutical agents is also specified.

Abstract
Aldose reductase (AR) and sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH) are important enzymes of the polyol pathway. In the current study, inhibitory effects of vulpinic acid (VA) carnosic acid (CA) and usnic acid (UA) on purified AR and SDH enzymes were determined. These enzymes inhibition could be essential to prevent diabetic complications. AR and SDH enzymes were purified from sheep kidney. Then, VA, CA and UA were tested in various concentrations against these enzymes activity in vitro. KI values were found to be as 1.46 ± 0.04, 5.13 ± 0.25 and 11.71 ± 0.27 μΜ for VA, CA and UA, respectively, for AR. KI constants were found to be as 15.32 ± 0.34, 145.60 ± 2.17 and 213.40 ± 2.64 μΜ VA, CA and UA, respectively, for SDH. These findings indicate that VA, CA and UA could be useful in the treatment of diabetic complications.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Redox equilibria and the modulation of redox signalling play crucial roles in physiological processes. Overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) disrupts the body's antioxidant defence, compromising redox homeostasis and increasing oxidative stress, leading to the development of several diseases. Manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) is a principal antioxidant enzyme that protects cells from oxidative damage by converting superoxide anion radicals to hydrogen peroxide and oxygen in mitochondria. Systematic studies have demonstrated that MnSOD plays an indispensable role in multiple diseases. This review focuses on preclinical evidence that describes the mechanisms of MnSOD in diseases accompanied with an imbalanced redox status, including fibrotic diseases, inflammation, diabetes, vascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer. The potential therapeutic effects of MnSOD activators and MnSOD mimetics are also discussed. Targeting this specific superoxide anion radical scavenger may be a clinically beneficial strategy, and understanding the therapeutic role of MnSOD may provide a positive insight into preventing and treating related diseases.

Abstract
Inhibition studies of enzymes in the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) have recently emerged as a promising technique for pharmacological intervention in several illnesses. Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGD) are the most important enzymes of the PPP. For this purpose, in the current study, we examined the effect of some fluorophenylthiourea on G6PD and 6PGD enzyme activity. These compounds exhibited moderate inhibitory activity against G6PD and 6PGD with KI values ranging from 21.60 ± 8.42 to 39.70 ± 11.26 μM, and 15.82 ± 1.54 to 29.97 ± 5.72 μM, respectively. 2,6-difluorophenylthiourea displayed the most potent inhibitory effect for G6PD, and 2-fluorophenylthiourea demonstrated the most substantial inhibitory effect for 6PGD. Furthermore, the molecular docking analyses of the fluorophenylthioureas, competitive inhibitors, were performed to understand the binding interactions at the enzymes' binding site.

Abstract
Glaucoma is a neuropathy disorder and is generally treated by drugs. Allergic conjunctivitis is a common ophthalmologic disease. Paraoxonase 1 (PON1) is an organophosphate hydrolyzer and antiatherogenic enzyme. PON1 is known for preventing atherosclerosis through lipid-modifying features, as well as which has decisive actions of antiapoptosis, anti-inflammatory, antithrombosis, and antiadhesion antioxidant activity properties. Thus, reducing the enzyme levels in hyperthyroidism, chronic renal failure, glaucoma, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular diseases is a significant risk. This study was tested some ophthalmic drugs used to treat the diseases, such as glaucoma and allergic conjunctivitis, mentioned above, travoprost, latanoprost, ketotifen, emedastine, and olopatadine, for their inhibition activities against PON1. These drugs displayed the potent inhibition effect with IC50 values ranging between 14.95 ± 0.15 and 299.60 ± 4.07 μM and KI constants ranging from 9.71 ± 2.63 to 261.50 ± 59.98 μM. Besides, the molecular docking analyses of the competitive inhibitors, travoprost, emedastine, and olopatadine, were performed to understand the binding interactions on the enzyme's binding site. According to both in vitro and in silico analysis results, travoprost had the most potent effect on PON1 enzyme activity.

Abstract
Serum paraoxonase 1 (PON1) is found in all mammalian species and is a calcium-dependent hydrolytic enzyme. PON1 hydrolyze several substrates, including carbonates, esters, and organophosphates. In the current study, we aimed to investigate the effect of the presynthesized benzohydrazide derivatives (1-9) on PON1 activity. Benzohydrazide compounds moderate inhibited PON1 with the half-maximal inhibitory concentration values ranging from 76.04 ± 13.51 to 221.70 ± 13.59 μM and KI values ranging from 38.75 ± 12.21 to 543.50 ± 69.76 μM. Compound 4 (2-amino-4-chlorobenzohydrazide) showed the best inhibition (KI = 38.75 ± 12.21 μM). Molecular docking and ADME-Tox studies of benzohydrazide derivatives were also carried out. In this context, we hope that the results obtained in this study contribute to the determination of the side effects of current and new benzohydrazide-based pharmacological compounds to be developed.

Abstract
Paraoxonase 1 (PON1) can metabolize some compounds such as aromatic carboxylic acid and unsaturated aliphatic esters, arylesters, cyclic carbonate, plucuronide drugs, some carbamate insecticide classes, nerve gases, and lactone compounds. Methyl benzoate has recently been shown to display potent toxicity against several insect species. In the current study, we aimed to investigate the effect of the methyl benzoate compounds (1-17) on PON1 activity. Methyl benzoate compounds inhibited PON1 with KI values ranging from 25.10 ± 4.73 to 502.10 ± 64.72 μM. Compound 10 (methyl 4-amino-2-bromo benzoate) showed the best inhibition (KI = 25.10 ± 4.73 μM). Furthermore, using the ADME-Tox, Glide XP, and MM-GBSA tools of the Schrödinger Suite 2021-4, a complete ligand-receptor interaction prediction was performed to characterize the methyl benzoates (1-17), probable binding modalities versus the PON1.

Abstract
Oxidative metabolic reactions and their by products have played a role in coronary artery disease (CAD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis. This study was carried out on 28 patients with AD, 21 patients with CAD, and 28 healthy as control. Oxidative stress biomarkers and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity were assayed in plasma. mRNA expression of AChE was investigated in leukocytes of patients with CAD and AD. Thus, Alzheimer's and coronary artery patients were observed that the protein carbonyl levels and mRNA expression of AChE were increased (p<.05, p<.01, respectively). The plasma total thiol levels were decreased compared to the control group (p<.05). There was a significant relationship between amyloid β (Aβ) accumulation and oxidative stress, cholinergic gene expression. AChE gene expression and protein oxidation were increased in patients with AD and CAD. These results suggest that increased release of AChE from cells produces neurotoxic β-amyloid plaques and may cause neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Fresh-cut vegetables and fruits have gained attention among consumers because of their fresh appearance, lack of pollution, nutrition, and convenience. However, in fresh-cut foods, enzymatic browning is the main problem. Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) is a vital enzyme involved in the process of enzymatic browning. In this study, PPO was purified from potato using Sepharose 4B-l-tyrosine-p-aminobenzoic acid affinity chromatography and the effect of some indazoles on the enzyme was determined. The enzyme was purified with a specific activity of 52,857.14 EU/mg protein and 21.26-purification fold. Indazoles exhibited inhibitor properties for PPO with IC50 values in the range of 0.11-1.12 mM and Ki values in the range of 0.15 ± 0.04-3.55 ± 0.88 mM. Among these compounds, 7-chloro-1H-indazole was shown as the most potent PPO inhibitor (Ki : 0.15 ± 0.04 mM). Determination of the enzyme's inhibition kinetics will simplify the testing of candidate PPO inhibitors.

Identification of a new class of potent aldose reductase inhibitors: Design, microwave-assisted synthesis, in vitro and in silico evaluation of 2-pyrazolines. Chem Biol Interact 2021; 345:109576. [PMID: 34252406 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbi.2021.109576] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2021] [Revised: 06/17/2021] [Accepted: 07/08/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
Aldose reductase (AR) acts as a multi-disease target for the design and development of therapeutic agents for the management of diabetic complications as well as non-diabetic diseases. In the search for potent AR inhibitors, the microwave-assisted synthesis of twenty new compounds with a 1,3-diaryl-5-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-pyrazoline moiety as a common fragment in their structure (1-20) was carried out efficiently. Compounds 1-20 were subjected to in vitro studies, which were conducted to assess their AR inhibitory effects and cytotoxicity towards L929 mouse fibroblast (normal) cells. Among these compounds, 1-(3-bromophenyl)-3-(4-piperidinophenyl)-5-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-pyrazoline (20) was identified as the most promising AR inhibitor with an IC50 value of 0.160 ± 0.005 μM exerting competitive inhibition with a Ki value of 0.019 ± 0.001 μM as compared to epalrestat (IC50 = 0.279 ± 0.001 μM; Ki = 0.801 ± 0.023 μM) and quercetin (IC50 = 4.120 ± 0.123 μM; Ki = 6.082 ± 0.272 μM). Compound 20 displayed cytotoxicity towards L929 cells with an IC50 value of 18.75 ± 1.06 μM highlighting its safety as an AR inhibitor. Molecular docking studies suggested that π-π stacking interactions occurred between the m-bromophenyl moiety of compound 20 and Trp21. Based on in silico pharmacokinetic studies, compound 20 was found to possess favorable oral bioavailability and drug-like properties. It can be concluded that compound 20 is a potential orally bioavailable AR inhibitor for the management of diabetic complications as well as non-diabetic diseases.

Abstract
Purpose DA-8031 is a novel selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor for the treatment of premature ejaculation. This study investigated the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of multiple oral doses of DA-8031. In addition, a genetic analysis was explored to evaluate the effect of genetic polymorphisms on the pharmacokinetics of DA-8031. Subjects and Methods A dose block-randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted in 3 dose groups with 20, 30 and 40 mg of DA-8031. Healthy male subjects were randomized to DA-8031 or placebo at a 4:1 ratio in each dose group of 10 subjects by oral administration once daily for 7 consecutive days. Serial blood and urine samples were collected for the pharmacokinetic evaluation, and the pharmacokinetic-related genes were analyzed by DMETTM plus. A safety evaluation was conducted including adverse events (AEs) monitoring and 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG). Results The plasma DA-8031 concentration reached the maximum concentration (Cmax) in 2.2 to 3.0 h and was eliminated with a mean half-life of 25.5 to 26.7 h at steady state. The accumulation index of DA-8031 ranged 2.3 to 2.8. The systemic exposure of DA-8031 of the CYP2D6 intermediate metabolizer (IM) was significantly higher compared to the CYP2D6 poor metabolizer (PM). There were no clinically significant QTc interval changes, and all the adverse events were mild. Conclusion After multiple oral doses of DA-8031 20, 30, and 40 mg in this study, the systemic exposure of DA-8031 increased in a more than dose-proportional manner with the increasing doses, and DA-8031 was generally well tolerated. In addition, the genetic polymorphisms of CYP2D6 have an impact on the pharmacokinetics of DA-8031.

Abstract
Background: Multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) is a chronic condition with somatic, cognitive and affective symptoms that follow contact with chemical agents at usually non toxic concentrations. We aimed to assess the role of genetic polymorphisms involved in oxidative stress on anxiety and depression in MCS. Materials & methods: Our study investigated the CAT rs1001179, MPO rs2333227, PON1 rs662 and PON1 rs705379 polymorphisms in MCS. Results: The AG genotype of the PON1 rs662 and the TT and CT genotypes of the PON1 rs705379 were involved in anxiety and depression. Discussion: These results are in line with existing evidence of PON1 involvement in MCS and suggest a further role of this gene in the exhibition of anxiety and depression in this disease.

Abstract
Serum paraoxonase-1 (PON1) is the most studied member of the group of paraoxonases (PONs). This enzyme possesses three enzymatic activities: lactonase, arylesterase, and paraoxonase activity. PON1 and its isoforms play an important role in drug metabolism as well as in the prevention of cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. Although all three members of the PON family have the same origin and very similar amino acid sequences, they have different functions and are found in different locations. PONs exhibit substrate promiscuity, and their true physiological substrates are still not known. However, possible substrates include homocysteine thiolactone, an analogue of natural quorum-sensing molecules, and the recently discovered derivatives of arachidonic acid—bioactive δ-lactones. Directed evolution, site-directed mutagenesis, and kinetic studies provide comprehensive insights into the active site and catalytic mechanism of PON1. However, there is still a whole world of mystery waiting to be discovered, which would elucidate the substrate promiscuity of a group of enzymes that are so similar in their evolution and sequence yet so distinct in their function.

Abstract
Aldose reductase (AR) catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of glucose to sorbitol in the polyol pathway, which plays an important role in the development of diabetic complications including cataract, retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy. AR has been considered as an important target to heal these long-term diabetic complications and for this reason the development of new AR inhibitors is an important approach in modern medicinal chemistry. In the current study, new 4-aryl-2-[2-((3,4-dihydro-2H-1,5-benzodioxepine-7-yl)methylene)hydrazinyl]thiazole derivatives (1-12) were synthesized and screened for their inhibitory effects on AR which was purified by diverse chromatographic methods with a yield of 1.40% and a specific activity of 2.00 EU/mg. All compounds were determined as promising AR inhibitors with the Ki values in the range of 0.018 ± 0.005 μM-3.746 ± 1.321 μM compared to the quercetin (Ki = 7.025 ± 1.780 μM). In particular, 4-(4-cyanophenyl)-2-[2-((3,4-dihydro-2H-1,5-benzodioxepin-7-yl)methylene)hydrazinyl]thiazole (3) was detected as the most potential AR inhibitor in this series with the Ki value of 0.018 ± 0.005 µM and the compound showed competitive AR inhibition. The cytotoxic effects of compounds 1-12 were investigated on L929 mouse fibroblast (healthy) cells using MTT assay and all these compounds were defined as non-cytotoxic agents against L929 cells. Molecular docking studies, which were employed to determine the affinity of compounds 1-12 into the active site of AR, highlighted that the thiazole scaffold of all these compounds presented π-π stacking interactions with Trp20 and Phe122. According to both in vitro and in silico assays, these potential AR inhibitors may have great importance in the prevention of diabetic microvascular conditions.

Abstract
Background:
Currently, most of the drugs used in clinical applications show their pharmacological
influences by inhibiting or activating enzymes. Therefore, enzyme inhibitors have an essential place in the drug
design for many diseases.
Objective:
The current study aimed to contribute to this growing drug design field (i.e., medicine discovery and
development) by analyzing enzyme-drug interactions.
Methods:
For this reason, Paraoxonase-I (PON1) enzyme was purified from fresh human serum by using rapid
chromatographic techniques. Additionally, the inhibition effects of some antineoplastic agents were researched
on the PON1.
Results:
The enzyme was obtained with a specific activity of 2603.57 EU/mg protein. IC50 values for pemetrexed
disodium, irinotecan hydrochloride, dacarbazine, and azacitidine were determined to be 9.63μM,
30.13μM, 53.31μM, and 21.00mM, respectively. These agents found to strongly inhibit PON1, with Ki constants
ranging from 8.29±1.47μM to 23.34±2.71mM. Dacarbazine and azacitidine showed non-competitive inhibition,
while other drugs showed competitive inhibition. Furthermore, molecular docking was performed using maestro
for these agents. Among these, irinotecan hydrochloride and pemetrexed disodium possess the binding energy of
-5.46 and -8.43 kcal/mol, respectively.
Conclusion:
The interaction studies indicated that these agents with the PON1 possess binding affinity.
