Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disease and is a major health threat globally. Its prevalence is forecasted to exponentially increase during the next 30 years due to the global aging population. Currently, approved drugs are merely symptomatic, being ineffective in delaying or blocking the relentless disease advance. Intensive AD research describes this disease as a highly complex multifactorial disease. Disclosure of novel pathological pathways and their interconnections has had a major impact on medicinal chemistry drug development for AD over the last two decades. The complex network of pathological events involved in the onset of the disease has prompted the development of multitarget drugs. These chemical entities combine pharmacological activities toward two or more drug targets of interest. These multitarget-directed ligands are proposed to modify different nodes in the pathological network aiming to delay or even stop disease progression. Here, we review the multitarget drug development strategy for AD during the last decade.

Vinhas S, Ivanova G, de Castro B, Rangel M. NMR and EPR study of the interaction of tris(3-hydroxy-4-pyridinonato) Ga(III) complexes with liposomes that mimic plant membranes. Biophys Chem 2023; 298:107021. [PMID: 37182237 DOI: 10.1016/j.bpc.2023.107021] [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: 01/12/2023] [Revised: 03/16/2023] [Accepted: 04/06/2023] [Indexed: 05/16/2023]
Abstract
We performed an NMR and EPR study of the interaction of four [Ga(3,4-HPO)3] chelates with liposomes derived from a soybean extract (SEL) and simpler formulations using POPC (100%) and POPE:POPC (50%). Parent [Fe(3,4-HPO)3] chelates are eligible to prevent Iron Deficiency Chlorosis and we took advantage of the likenesses of the ions Fe (III) and Ga (III), and the fact their metal ion complexes are isostructural, to perform a combined NMR and EPR study to get information about the permeation properties of the complexes. The results demonstrate the presence of liposomes loaded with Ga-chelates and that the distribution of complexes alongside the bilayer is dependent on their structure. Two compounds, [Ga(mpp)3] and [Ga(etpp)3], have a higher affinity for the polar region of the liposome bilayer thus suggesting that their structure facilitates their permanence at the root-rhizosphere interface. Chelates [Ga(dmpp)3] and [Ga(mrb13)3] interact with all types of protons of the lipid bilayer thus implying that they travel all along the bilayer structure indicating their higher permeation properties through soybean membranes. The results obtained for compound, [Ga(mrb13)3], which has been included in this work but was not yet tested in plant supplementation experiments, encourage its testing in in vivo plant studies once this study revealed that it interacts strongly with the model membranes. If the results of the future experiments in plants are positive and consistent with the present membrane-interaction studies the latter could constitute a good screening test for future compounds thus saving reagents and time.

Abstract
The current study on the antioxidant activity of Kojic acid and 3-hydroxypyridine-4-one derivatives was performed by implementation of density functional theory calculations with the B3LYP hybrid functional and the 6-311++ G** basis set in Polarizable Continuum Model. Compounds under evaluation were previously synthesized by our research group. The DPPH scavenging effect and IC 50 values of them in mM concentrations were evaluated. Subsequently, various electronic and energetic descriptors such as HOMO and LUMO energy gaps, bonding dissociation enthalpy of OH bond, ionization potential, electron affinity, hardness, and softness, NBOs and spin density of radical and neutral species were used to study antioxidant properties of investigated compounds. The computations detected two compounds, HP3 and HP4 , with significant antioxidant activity. Energetic descriptors indicated that SPLET mechanism is preferred over than other antioxidant mechanism and computational results were in accordance with the experimental results.

Abstract
AbstractNon-proteinogenic amino acids are widely explored group of compounds due to their chemical properties and great potential of application in the combinatorial chemistry, medicinal investigation etc. Therefore the synthetic methods of their incorporation to the peptide chain are required. l-Mimosine, (S)-α-amino-β-(3-hydoxy-4-oxo-1,4-dihydropyridin-1-yl)-propanoic acid), is a plant amino acid, known to induce apoptosis in human pancreatic cancer xenografts. Here we present our investigations on the synthesis of mimosine-containing peptide and their ESI-MS/MS analysis. We successfully applied Fmoc-protected mimosine a with a free hydroxy ketone group for efficient peptide synthesis in the presence of HATU as a coupling reagent without the formation of side products. Additionally the tandem mass spectrometry analysis revealed the characteristic loss of the heterocyclic ring from mimosine residue side chain. The described method allows insertion of mimosine residue at any endo-position within a peptide sequence. The obtained results may be useful in the synthesis and mass spectrometry analysis of various mimosine-containing peptides.

Abstract
Three new alkaloids (1-3) together with four previously reported compounds (4-7) were identified from the extracts and the diversity-enhanced extracts of the fermentation broth of the endophytic fungus, Aspergillus flavus GZWMJZ-288 associated with Garcinia multiflora. The structures of new compounds were respectively determined as 19-amino-19-dehydroxy 5-epi-α-cyclopiazonic acid (1), 2-hydroxymethyl-5-(3-oxobutan-2-yl)aminopyran-4(4H)-one (2) and 4-amino-2-hydroxymethylpyridin-5-ol (3) by spectroscopic analysis, ECD calculation and X-ray single crystal diffraction. Compounds 1 and 4 with 19-enamine were dynamic equilibrium of Z- and E- isomers in the solution but favored in Z- isomers in the solid state, while compound 7 with 19-enol was favored in Z- isomer in the solution but a mixture of Z- and E- isomers in solid state. This phenomenon could be explained by the quantum-mechanical energies calculations. Among the isolated compounds 1-7, compounds 1, 4 and 7 with a rare 1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1-azaacenaphtho[3,4-c]pyrrolizidine skeleton showed α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with the IC50 values of 41.97 ± 0.97, 232.57 ± 11.45 and 243.95 ± 3.36 μM, respectively, and the binding modes were performed by silico docking studies.

Abstract
Iron plays an essential role in all living cells because of its unique chemical properties. It is also the most abundant trace element in mammals. However, when iron is present in excess or inappropriately located, it becomes toxic. Excess iron can become involved in free radical formation, resulting in oxidative stress and cellular damage. Iron chelators are used to treat serious pathological disorders associated with systemic iron overload. Hydroxypyridinones stand out for their outstanding chelation properties, including high selectivity for Fe3+ in the biological environment, ease of derivatization, and good biocompatibility. Herein, we overview the potential for multifunctional hydroxypyridinone-based chelators to be used as therapeutic agents against a wide range of diseases associated either with systemic or local elevated iron levels.

Abstract
Finding new multifunctional metal binders to be potentially used in diagnosis or therapy has been a subject of major challenge. Hydroxypyridinones have long been recognized as privileged chelating structures for the design of metal chelating drugs, especially towards hard metal ions, in view of their decorporation in metal overload disorders. Thus, pursuing our strategy of engineering new polydentate 3-hydroxy-4-pyridinones (3,4-HP) with extrafunctionalization capacity for sensing or targeting purposes, we report herein the synthesis and full characterization of a hexadentate (tris-3,4-HP) and a tetradentate (bis-3,4-HP) ligand, possessing three and two 3,4-HP arms N-attached to an aminomethanetrispropionic acid backbone, respectively. Thus, as compared with previously reported analogues, each ligand possesses an extra free amino group ready for further functionalization. Their chelating capacity towards Fe and Al was evaluated in aqueous solution, by potentiometric and spectroscopic techniques, and they proved to be strong sequestering agents for these metal ions without depletion of Zn, an essential biometal. Their excellent in vivo metal-decorporation capacity was also evidenced in mice injected with a radiotracer (67Ga) as an animal model of metal overload pathological situations. These findings provide encouragement for further ongoing extrafunctionalizations in view of several potential biomedical applications.

Abstract
The potential of hydroxypyridinones for in vivo iron sequestration, in both biological and medical contexts, has been extensively discussed in the literature. Different chelators can be designed, with distinct lipophilicities that should alter their cell permeability, distribution, and rates of metabolism. However, for effective iron scavenging in biological systems, the redox potential and binding affinity of iron must fall within a proper range. Our objective was to assess the impact of different hydroxypyridinone chelators in 3:1 iron(III) complexes through comparison of these thermodynamic properties. For that purpose, we employed a cluster-continuum approach using density functional theory, on a dataset of 25 iron complexes. Whenever possible, our results were compared with experimental stability constants (log β) and with electrode potentials. We observed a good qualitative agreement between computed free energies of binding and log β values. In addition, we described which substitutions to the 3-hydroxypyridin-4-one ring should not markedly affect the redox properties and metal ion affinity considering iron.

Abstract
This paper presents an easy, fast and economic synthesis of chelating agents for medical, environmental and analytical applications, and the evaluation of the stability of their complexes with Fe3+ and Al3+. Complex formation equilibria with Cu2+ and Zn2+ metal ions were also studied to evaluate if the chelating agents can perturb the homeostatic equilibria of these essential metal ions. Effective chelating agents for metal ions, in addition to their well-known medical uses, find an increasing number of applications in environmental remediation, agricultural applications (supplying essential elements in an easily available form), and in analytical chemistry as colorimetric reagents. Besides the stability of the complexes, the lack of toxicity and the low cost are the basic requisites of metal chelating agents. With these aims in mind, we utilized ethyl salicylate, a cheap molecule without toxic effects, and adopted a simple synthetic strategy to join two salicylate units through linear diamines of variable length. Actually, the mutual position of the metal binding oxygen groups, as well as the linker length, affected protonation and complex formation equilibria. A thorough study of the ligands is presented. In particular, the complex formation equilibria of the three ligands toward Fe3+, Al3+, Zn2+ and Cu2+ ions were investigated by combined potentiometric and spectrophotometric techniques. The results are encouraging: all the three ligands form stable complexes with all the investigated metal ions, involving the oxygen donor atoms from the 2-hydroxybenzamido unit, and nitrogen atoms in copper and zinc coordination.

Abstract
Methyl substituted 3-hydroxypyridin-4(1H)-ones have been synthesized. The pKa values and Fe3+ affinity constants of these ligands were studied. The introduction of an electron-donating methyl group at a different position of pyridinone ring markedly influences the pKa values of 3-hydroxy and 4-oxo groups. The pFe3+ values were also affected and are in the range of 17.6–20.7. The findings can be used to guide a design of 3-hydroxypyridin-4-ones with desirable pKa and pFe3+ values.

Abstract
The class of 3-hydroxy-4-pyridinone ligands is widely known and valuable for biomedical and pharmaceutical purposes. Their chelating properties towards biologically-relevant transition metal ions highlight their potential biomedical utility. A set of 3-hydroxy-4-pyridinone Zn(ii) complexes at different concentrations was studied for their ability to interact with lipid phases. We employed umbrella sampling simulations to attain the potential-of-mean force for a set of ligands and one Zn(ii) complex, as these permeated a 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC) hydrated bilayer system. In addition, we used conventional molecular dynamics simulations to study the behavior of various Zn(ii) complexes in hydrated bilayer systems. This work discusses: (i) the partition of 3-hydroxy-4-pyridinone ligands to bilayer phases; (ii) self-aggregation in crowded environments of Zn(ii) complexes; and (iii) possible mechanisms for the membrane translocation of Zn(ii) complexes. We observed distinct interactions for the studied complexes, and distinct membrane partition coefficients (Kmem) depending on the considered ligand. The more hydrophobic ligand, 1-hexyl-3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4(1H)-pyridinone, partitioned more favorably to lipid phases (at least two orders of magnitude higher Kmem when compared to the other ligands), and the corresponding Zn(ii) complex was also prone to self-aggregation when an increased concentration of the complex was employed. We also observed that the inclusion of a coordinated water molecule in the parameterization of the Zn(ii) coordination sphere, as proposed in the available crystallographic structure of the complex, decreased the partition coefficient and membrane permeability for the tested complex. The membrane partition of hydroxypyridinones and of zinc complexes explored by molecular dynamics.![]()
