Development of Cytotoxic GW7604-Zeise's Salt Conjugates as Multitarget Compounds with Selectivity for Estrogen Receptor- Positive Tumor Cells. J Med Chem 2024; 67:4870-4888. [PMID: 38478882 PMCID: PMC10983001 DOI: 10.1021/acs.jmedchem.3c02454] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2023] [Revised: 02/07/2024] [Accepted: 02/28/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024]
Abstract
(E/Z)-3-(4-((E)-1-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)-2-phenylbut-1-enyl)phenyl)acrylic acid (GW7604) as a carrier was esterified with alkenols of various lengths and coordinated through the ethylene moiety to PtCl3, similar to Zeise's salt (K[PtCl3(C2H4)]). The resulting GW7604-Alk-PtCl3 complexes (Alk = Prop, But, Pent, Hex) degraded in aqueous solution only by exchange of the chlorido ligands. For example, GW7604-Pent-PtCl3 coordinated the amino acid alanine in the cell culture medium, bound the isolated nucleotide 5'-GMP, and interacted with the DNA (empty plasmid pSport1). It accumulated in estrogen receptor (ER)-positive MCF-7 cells primarily via cytosolic vesicles, while it was only marginally taken up in ER-negative SKBr3 cells. Accordingly, GW7604-Pent-PtCl3 and related complexes were inactive in SKBr3 cells. GW7604-Pent-PtCl3 showed high affinity to ERα and ERβ without mediating agonistic or ER downregulating properties. GW7604-Alk ligands also increased the cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 inhibitory potency of the complexes. In contrast to Zeise's salt, the GW7604-Alk-PtCl3 complexes inhibited COX-1 and COX-2 to the same extent.

Sensitivity of Legionella pneumophila to phthalates and their substitutes. Sci Rep 2023; 13:22145.

Abstract
Phthalates constitute a family of anthropogenic chemicals developed to be used in the manufacture of plastics, solvents, and personal care products. Their dispersion and accumulation in many environments can occur at all stages of their use (from synthesis to recycling). However, many phthalates together with other accumulated engineered chemicals have been shown to interfere with hormone activities. These compounds are also in close contact with microorganisms that are free-living, in biofilms or in microbiota, within multicellular organisms. Herein, the activity of several phthalates and their substitutes were investigated on the opportunistic pathogen Legionella pneumophila, an aquatic microbe that can infect humans. Beside showing the toxicity of some phthalates, data suggested that Acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC) and DBP (Di-n-butyl phthalate) at environmental doses (i.e. 10-6 M and 10-8 M) can modulate Legionella behavior in terms of motility, biofilm formation and response to antibiotics. A dose of 10-6 M mostly induced adverse effects for the bacteria, in contrast to a dose of 10-8 M. No perturbation of virulence towards Acanthamoeba castellanii was recorded. These behavioral alterations suggest that L. pneumophila is able to sense ATBC and DBP, in a cross-talk that either mimics the response to a native ligand, or dysregulates its physiology.

Abstract
Di-(2-ethylhexyl)-phthalate (DEHP) is a ubiquitous environmental pollutant and is widely used in industrial plastics. Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP), distinguished by maternal pruritus and elevated serum bile acid levels, is linked to unfavorable pregnancy consequences. Few studies have investigated the potential effect of gestational DEHP exposure on the cholestasis in pregnant female mice, and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In the present study, a mouse model of cholestasis during pregnancy was established by DEHP exposure. We found that DEHP induces elevated bile acid levels by affecting bile acid synthesis and transporter receptor expression in the maternal liver and placenta of pregnant female mice, ultimately leading to intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). In addition, DEHP changed the bile acid composition of maternal serum and liver as well as placenta and amniotic fluid in pregnant female mice; Importantly, we found that DEHP down-regulates the expression of farnesoid X receptor (FXR), which is considered to be a bile acid receptor. FXR agonist obeticholic acid (OCA) effectively alleviated the adverse effects of DEHP on pregnant female mice. While, OCA itself had no adverse effects on normal pregnant female mice. In summary, DEHP could induces bile acid disorder and IUGR in pregnant female mice by affect FXR, which was reversed by OCA.

Epigallocatechin gallate alleviates mono-2-ethylhexyl phthalate-induced male germ cell pyroptosis by inhibiting the ROS/mTOR/NLRP3 pathway. Toxicol In Vitro 2023:105626.

Abstract
Mono-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (MEHP) exposure is known to induce severe testicular injury via reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, few effective treatments are available for the precise treatment of MEHP-induced germ cell damage. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), one of the major polyphenols in green tea, has potential antioxidant activity and can alleviate many diseases induced by oxidative stress. This study explored whether EGCG protects germ cells from MEHP-induced oxidative stress damage. Cells were treated with 400 μM MEHP and 60 μM EGCG for 24 h. EGCG reduced MEHP-induced ROS overgeneration in the spermatogonial cell line GC-1 and spermatocyte cell line GC-2. Western blotting and immunofluorescence showed that the MEHP+EGCG group exhibited lower nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (NRF2), heme oxygenase (decycling) 1 (HO-1), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) expression than the MEHP group. Moreover, activation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway was decreased. The expression of key factors of pyroptosis was downregulated, and interleukin-10 (IL-10) expression was reduced. Additionally, apoptosis was inhibited by EGCG. The findings indicate that EGCG protects against MEHP-induced germ cell pyroptosis by scavenging ROS, suppressing the mTOR pathway, and inhibiting pyroptosis. EGCG may thus be a potential treatment for MEHP-related spermatogenic dysfunction.

Abstract
Lactic acid bacteria produce a variety of antibacterial and larvicidal metabolites, which could be used to cure diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria and to efficiently overcome issues regarding insecticide resistance. In the current study, the antibacterial and larvicidal potential of Bis-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate isolated from Lactiplantibacillus plantarum BCH-1 has been evaluated. Bioactive compounds were extracted by ethyl acetate and were fractionated by gradient column chromatography from crude extract. Based on FT-IR analysis followed by GC-MS and ESI-MS/MS, the active compound was identified to be Bis-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate. Antibacterial potential was evaluated by disk diffusion against E. coli (12.33 ± 0.56 mm inhibition zone) and S. aureus (5.66 ± 1.00 mm inhibition zone). Larvicidal potency was performed against Culex quinquefasciatus Say larvae, where Bis-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate showed 100% mortality at 250 ppm after 72 h with LC50 of 67.03 ppm. Furthermore, after 72 h the acetylcholinesterase inhibition was observed as 29.00, 40.33, 53.00, 64.00, and 75.33 (%) at 50, 100, 150, 200, and 250 ppm, respectively. In comet assay, mean comet tail length (14.18 ± 0.28 μm), tail DNA percent damage (18.23 ± 0.06%), tail movement (14.68 ± 0.56 µm), comet length (20.62 ± 0.64 µm), head length (23.75 ± 0.27 µm), and head DNA percentage (39.19 ± 0.92%) were observed at 250 ppm as compared to the control. The current study for the first time describes the promising antibacterial and larvicidal potential of Bis-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate from Lactiplantibacillus plantarum that would have potential pharmaceutical applications.
