Nature-Inspired O-Benzyl Oxime-Based Derivatives as New Dual-Acting Agents Targeting Aldose Reductase and Oxidative Stress. Biomolecules 2022; 12:biom12030448. [PMID: 35327641 PMCID: PMC8946157 DOI: 10.3390/biom12030448] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2022] [Revised: 03/02/2022] [Accepted: 03/05/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Aldose reductase (ALR2) is the enzyme in charge of developing cellular toxicity caused by diabetic hyperglycemia, which in turn leads to the generation of reactive oxygen species triggering oxidative stress. Therefore, inhibiting ALR2 while pursuing a concomitant anti-oxidant activity through dual-acting agents is now recognized as the gold standard treatment for preventing or at least delaying the progression of diabetic complications. Herein we describe a novel series of (E)-benzaldehyde O-benzyl oximes 6a–e, 7a–e, 8a–e, and 9–11 as ALR2 inhibitors endowed with anti-oxidant properties. Inspired by the natural products, the synthesized derivatives are characterized by a different polyhydroxy substitution pattern on their benzaldehyde fragment, which proved crucial for both the enzyme inhibitory activity and the anti-oxidant capacity. Derivatives (E)-2,3,4-trihydroxybenzaldehyde O-(3-methoxybenzyl) oxime (7b) and (E)-2,3,4-trihydroxybenzaldehyde O-(4-methoxybenzyl) oxime (8b) turned out to be the most effective dual-acting products, proving to combine the best ALR2 inhibitory properties with significant anti-oxidant efficacy.

Abstract
α,β-Unsaturated oximes underwent electrophilic epoxidation with in-situ-generated dimethyldioxirane to give the corresponding epoxides in good yields. This reaction is an example of "carbonyl umpolung" by transformation of α,β-unsaturated ketones to their oximes. Nucleophilic ring-opening reactions of the epoxides afforded α-substituted products. Shi asymmetric epoxidation of the oximes proceeded with moderate enantioselectivity.

Abstract
The synthesis of oximeethers of 2,3-dihydro-1,8-naphthyridine and 2, 3-dihydrothiopyrano[2,3-b]pyridine is described. These compounds exhibit a selective beta-blocking activity, with a selectivity towards beta(2)-receptors. Groups in the N(1) position giving rise to a considerable steric hindrance led to a higher beta(2)-blocking selectivity, whereas groups creating a moderate hindrance caused a weak but significant decrease in beta(2)-antagonist potency. Substitution of the N(1)-R group with a sulfur atom led to compounds possessing beta(1)-, beta(2)- and beta(3)-blocking properties. Compounds 9c(1) and 10a(1) showed a beta(3)-antagonist activity slightly lower than that of propranolol.
