Effects of H 2S-donor ascorbic acid derivative and ischemia/reperfusion-induced injury in isolated rat hearts. Eur J Pharm Sci 2024; 195:106721. [PMID: 38331005 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejps.2024.106721] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2023] [Revised: 01/30/2024] [Accepted: 02/04/2024] [Indexed: 02/10/2024]
Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a gasotransmitter, plays a crucial role in vasorelaxation, anti-inflammatory processes and mitigating myocardial ischemia/reperfusion-induced injury by regulating various signaling processes. We designed a water soluble H2S-releasing ascorbic acid derivative, BM-164, to combine the beneficial cardiovascular and anti-inflammatory effects of H2S with the excellent water solubility and antioxidant properties of ascorbic acid. DPPH antioxidant assay revealed that the antioxidant activity of BM-164 in the presence of a myocardial tissue homogenate (extract) increased continuously over the 120 min test interval due to the continuous release of H2S from BM-164. The cytotoxicity of BM-164 was tested by MTT assay on H9c2 cells, which resulted in no cytotoxic effect at concentrations of 10 to 30 μM. The possible beneficial effects of BM-164 (30 µM) was examined in isolated 'Langendorff' rat hearts. The incidence of ventricular fibrillation (VF) was significantly reduced from its control value of 79 % to 31 % in the BM-164 treated group, and the infarct size was also diminished from the control value of 28 % to 14 % in the BM-164 treated group. However, coronary flow (CF) and heart rate (HR) values in the BM-164 treated group did not show significantly different levels in comparison with the drug-free control, although a non-significant recovery in both CF and HR was observed at each time point. We attempted to reveal the mechanism of action of BM-164, focusing on the processes of autophagy and apoptosis. The expression of key autophagic and apoptotic markers in isolated rat hearts were detected by Western blot analysis. All the examined autophagy-related proteins showed increased expression levels in the BM-164 treated group in comparison to the drug-free control and/or ascorbic acid treated groups, while the changes in the expression of apoptotic markers were not obvious. In conclusion, the designed water soluble H2S releasing ascorbic acid derivative, BM-164, showed better cardiac protection against ischemia/reperfusion-induced injury compared to the untreated and ascorbic acid treated hearts, respectively.

Reperfusion-induced injury and the effects of the dithioacetate type hydrogen sulfide donor ibuprofen derivative, BM-88, in isolated rat hearts. Eur J Pharm Sci 2023; 185:106449.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) plays an important role in cardiac protection by regulating various redox signalings associated with myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) induced injury. The goal of the present investigations is the synthesis of a newly designed H2S-releasing ibuprofen derivative, BM-88, and its pharmacological characterization regarding the cardioprotective effects in isolated rat hearts. Cytotoxicity of BM-88 was also estimated in H9c2 cells. H2S-release was measured by an H2S sensor from the coronary perfusate. Increasing concentrations of BM-88 (1.0 to 20.0 µM) were tested in in vitro studies. Preadministration of 10 µM BM-88 significantly reduced the incidence of reperfusion-induced ventricular fibrillation (VF) from its drug-free control value of 92% to 12%. However, no clear dose dependent reduction in the incidence of reperfusion-induced VF was observed while different concentrations of BM-88 were used. It was also found that 10 µM BM-88 provided a substantial protection and significantly reduced the infarct size in the ischemic/reperfused myocardium. However, this cardiac protection was not reflected in any significant changes in coronary flow and heart rates. The results support the fact that H2S release plays an important role mitigating reperfusion-induced cardiac damage.

Abstract
To restore the disordered endogenous gas levels is an efficient alternative for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Both insufficient hydrogen sulfide (H2 S) and excessive nitric oxide (NO) contribute to synovial inflammation. Herein, a new block polymer PEG10 -b-PNAPA30 -b-PEG10 composed of an NO-responsive monomer and a cysteine-triggered H2 S donor, which can simultaneously scavenge NO and release therapeutic H2 S for RA treatment, is reported. In vitro experiments demonstrate that the polymer exhibits a synergistic effect on suppressing reactive oxygen species levels and pro-inflammatory cytokine production via NF-κB signaling pathway. It leads to the polarization of macrophages from M1 to M2 phenotype. Moreover, the released H2 S further restrains NO production by suppressing the expression of iNOS. In vivo experiments with an RA rat model show that the system markedly mitigates the synovial inflammation, osteoporosis, and clinical symptoms of RA rats, which is attributed to the combination therapy of H2 S release and NO depletion. This work provides new insight into the synergistic treatment of RA and endogenous gas-related diseases.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are important modulators of physiological signaling and play important roles in bone tissue regulation. Both reactive sulfur species (RSS) and reactive selenium species (RSeS) are involved in ROS signaling, and recent work suggests RSS and RSeS involvement in the regulation of bone homeostasis. For example, RSS can promote osteogenic differentiation and decrease osteoclast activity and differentiation, and the antioxidant activity of RSeS play crucial roles in balancing bone remodeling. Here, we outline current research progress on the application of RSS and RSeS in bone disease and regeneration. Focusing on these investigations, we highlight different methods, tools, and sources of RSS and RSeS, and we also highlight future opportunities for delivery of RSS and RSeS in biological environments relating to bone.

Abstract
Following the discovery of nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulfide (H2 S) has been identified as the third gasotransmitter in humans. Increasing evidence have shown that H2 S is of preventive or therapeutic effects on diverse pathological complications. As a consequence, it is of great significance to develop suitable approaches of H2 S-based therapeutics for biomedical applications. H2 S-releasing agents (H2 S donors) play important roles in exploring and understanding the physiological functions of H2 S. More importantly, accumulating studies have validated the theranostic potential of H2 S donors in extensive repertoires of in vitro and in vivo disease models. Thus, it is imperative to summarize and update the literatures in this field. In this review, first, the background of H2 S on its chemical and biological aspects is concisely introduced. Second, the studies regarding the H2 S-releasing compounds are categorized and described, and accordingly, their H2 S-donating mechanisms, biological applications, and therapeutic values are also comprehensively delineated and discussed. Necessary comparisons between related H2 S donors are presented, and the drawbacks of many typical H2 S donors are analyzed and revealed. Finally, several critical challenges encountered in the development of multifunctional H2 S donors are discussed, and the direction of their future development as well as their biomedical applications is proposed. We expect that this review will reach extensive audiences across multiple disciplines and promote the innovation of H2 S biomedicine.

Abstract
The importance of selenium (Se) in biology and health has become increasingly clear. Hydrogen selenide (H2Se), the biologically available and active form of Se, is suggested to be an emerging nitric oxide (NO)-like signaling molecule. Nevertheless, the research on H2Se chemical biology has technique difficulties due to the lack of well-characterized and controllable H2Se donors under physiological conditions, as well as a robust assay for direct H2Se quantification. Motivated by these needs, here, we demonstrate that selenocyclopropenones and selenoamides are tunable donor motifs that release H2Se upon reaction with cysteine (Cys) at pH 7.4 and that structural modifications enable the rate of Cys-mediated H2Se release to be tuned. We monitored the reaction pathways for the H2Se release and confirmed H2Se generation qualitatively using different methods. We further developed a quantitative assay for direct H2Se trapping and quantitation in an aqueous solution, which should also be operative for investigating future H2Se donor motifs. In addition, we demonstrate that arylselenoamide has the capability of Cys-mediated H2Se release in cellular environments. Importantly, mechanistic investigations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations illustrate the plausible pathways of Cys-activated H2Se release from arylselenoamides in detail, which may help understand the mechanistic issues of the H2S release from pharmacologically important arylthioamides. We anticipate that the well-defined chemistries of Cys-activated H2Se donor motifs will be useful for studying Se biology and for development of new H2Se donors and bioconjugate techniques.

Abstract
The short C-H⋯S contacts found in available structural data for both small molecules and larger biomolecular systems suggest that such contacts are an often overlooked yet important stabilizing interaction. Moreover, many of these short C-H⋯S contacts meet the definition of a hydrogen bonding interaction. Using available structural data from the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD), as well as selected examples from the literature in which important C-H⋯S contacts may have been overlooked, we highlight the generality of C-H⋯S hydrogen bonding as an important stabilizing interaction. To uncover and establish the generality of these interactions, we compare C-H⋯S contacts with other traditional hydrogen bond donors and acceptors as well as investigate how coordination number and metal bonding affect the preferred geometry of interactions in the solid state. This work establishes that the C-H⋯S bond meets the definition of a hydrogen bond and serves as a guide to identify C-H⋯S hydrogen bonds in diverse systems.

Abstract
Advances in nanotechnology have enabled the rapid development of stimuli-responsive therapeutic nanomaterials for precision gas therapy. Hydrogen sulfide (H2 S) is a significant gaseous signaling molecule with intrinsic biochemical properties, which exerts its various physiological effects under both normal and pathological conditions. Various nanomaterials with H2 S-responsive properties, as new-generation therapeutic agents, are explored to guide therapeutic behaviors in biological milieu. The cross disciplinary of H2 S is an emerging scientific hotspot that studies the chemical properties, biological mechanisms, and therapeutic effects of H2 S. This review summarizes the state-of-art research on H2 S-related nanomedicines. In particular, recent advances in H2 S therapeutics for cancer, such as H2 S-mediated gas therapy and H2 S-related synergistic therapies (combined with chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, and chemodynamic therapy) are highlighted. Versatile imaging techniques for real-time monitoring H2 S during biological diagnosis are reviewed. Finally, the biosafety issues, current challenges, and potential possibilities in the evolution of H2 S-based therapy that facilitate clinical translation to patients are discussed.

Abstract
The parallel development of reversible deactivation radical polymerization and click reaction concepts significantly enriches the toolbox of synthetic polymer chemistry. The synergistic effect of combining these approaches manifests itself in a growth of interest to the design of well-defined functional polymers and their controlled conjugation with biomolecules, drugs, and inorganic surfaces. In this review, we discuss the results obtained with reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization and different types of click reactions on low- and high-molar-mass reactants. Our classification of literature sources is based on the typical structure of macromolecules produced by the RAFT technique. The review addresses click reactions, immediate or preceded by a modification of another type, on the leaving and stabilizing groups inherited by a growing macromolecule from the chain transfer agent, as well as on the side groups coming from monomers entering the polymerization process. Architecture and self-assembling properties of the resulting polymers are briefly discussed with regard to their potential functional applications, which include drug delivery, protein recognition, anti-fouling and anti-corrosion coatings, the compatibilization of polymer blends, the modification of fillers to increase their dispersibility in polymer matrices, etc.

Abstract
A Ni-catalyzed cross-coupling of readily accessible O-alkyl xanthate esters or thiocarbonyl imidazolides and organozinc reagents for the synthesis of thiocarboxylic acid derivatives has been developed. This method benefits from a fast reaction time, mild reaction conditions, and ease of starting material synthesis. The use of transition-metal catalysis to access a diverse range of thiocarbonyl-containing compounds provides a useful complementary approach when compared with previously established methodologies.

Abstract
In addition to being notorious air pollutants, nitric oxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) have also been known as endogenous gaseous signaling molecules (GSMs). These GSMs play critical roles in maintaining the homeostasis of living organisms. Importantly, the occurrence and development of many diseases such as inflammation and cancer are highly associated with the concentration changes of GSMs. As such, GSMs could also be used as new therapeutic agents, showing great potential in the treatment of many formidable diseases. Although clinically it is possible to directly inhale GSMs, the precise control of the dose and concentration for local delivery of GSMs remains a substantial challenge. The development of gaseous signaling molecule-releasing molecules provides a great tool for the safe and convenient delivery of GSMs. In this review article, we primarily focus on the recent development of macromolecular nanocarriers for the local delivery of various GSMs. Learning from the chemistry of small molecule-based donors, the integration of these gaseous signaling molecule-releasing molecules into polymeric matrices through physical encapsulation, post-modification, or direct polymerization approach renders it possible to fabricate numerous macromolecular nanocarriers with optimized pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, revealing improved therapeutic performance than the small molecule analogs. The development of GSMs represents a new means for many disease treatments with unique therapeutic outcomes.

Abstract
H2S is a well-known toxic gas and also a gaseous signaling molecule involved in many biological processes. Advanced chemical tools that can regulate H2S levels in vivo are useful for understanding H2S biology as well as its potential therapeutic effects. To this end, we have developed a series of 7-nitro-1,2,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD) amines as potential H2S scavengers. The kinetic studies of thiolysis reactions revealed that incorporation of positively-charged groups onto the NBD amines greatly increased the rate of the H2S-specific thiolysis reaction. We demonstrate that these reactions proceed effectively, with second order rate constants (k 2) of >116 M-1 s-1 at 37 °C for NBD-S8. Additionally, we demonstrate that NBD-S8 can effectively scavenge enzymatically-produced and endogenous H2S in live cells. Furthering the biological significance, we demonstrate NBD-S8 mediates scavenging of H2S in mice.

Abstract
Dithioesters are well-established as efficient reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) agents. More recently, certain small molecule dithioesters have been reported to release the biological signaling molecule hydrogen sulfide (H2S) upon exposure to cysteine. Herein, we examine the propensity of polymers synthesized using RAFT with a dithioester chain transfer agent to release H2S via reaction of cysteine with constitutive dithioester end-groups. Homocysteine-triggered release of H2S from these materials is also observed, with evidence suggesting that the mechanism is analogous to the reaction with cysteine.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probes are attractive tools for bioimaging applications because of their low auto-fluorescence interference, minimal damage to living samples, and deep tissue penetration. H2S is a gaseous signaling molecule that is involved in redox homeostasis and numerous biological processes in vivo. To this end, we have developed a new red shifted fluorescent probe 1 to detect physiological H2S in live cells. The probe 1 is based on a rhodamine derivative as the red shifted fluorophore and the thiolysis of 7-nitro 1,2,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD) amine as the H2S receptor. The probe 1 displays fast fluorescent enhancement at 660 nm (about 10-fold turn-ons, k2 = 29.8 M−1s−1) after reacting with H2S in buffer (pH 7.4), and the fluorescence quantum yield of the activated red shifted product can reach 0.29. The probe 1 also exhibits high selectivity and sensitivity towards H2S. Moreover, 1 is cell-membrane-permeable and mitochondria-targeting, and can be used for imaging of endogenous H2S in living cells. We believe that this red shifted fluorescent probe can be a useful tool for studies of H2S biology.

Abstract
Significance: Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an important biological signaling molecule involved in many physiological processes. These diverse roles have led researchers to develop contemporary methods to deliver H2S under physiologically relevant conditions and in response to various stimuli. Recent Advances: Different small-molecule donors have been developed that release H2S under various conditions. Key examples include donors activated in response to hydrolysis, to endogenous species, such as thiols, reactive oxygen species, and enzymes, and to external stimuli, such as photoactivation and bio-orthogonal chemistry. In addition, an alternative approach to release H2S has utilized the catalyzed hydrolysis of carbonyl sulfide (COS) by carbonic anhydrase to generate libraries of activatable COS-based H2S donors. Critical Issues: Small-molecule H2S donors provide important research and pharmacological tools to perturb H2S levels. Key needs, both in the development and in the use of such donors, include access to new donors that respond to specific stimuli as well as donors with well-defined control compounds that allow for clear delineation of the impact of H2S delivery from other donor byproducts. Future Directions: The abundance of reported small-molecule H2S donors provides biologists and physiologists with a chemical toolbox to ask key biological questions and to develop H2S-related therapeutic interventions. Further investigation into different releasing efficiencies in biological contexts and a clear understanding of biological responses to donors that release H2S gradually (e.g., hours to days) versus donors that generate H2S quickly (e.g., seconds to minutes) is needed.

Abstract
Selenium is essential to human physiology and has recently shown potential in the treatment of common pathophysiological conditions ranging from arsenic poisoning to cancer. Although the precise metabolic and chemical pathways of selenium incorporation into biomolecules remain somewhat unclear, many such pathways proceed through hydrogen selenide (H2Se/HSe-) formation. Despite this importance, well-characterized chemistry that enables H2Se release under controlled conditions remains lacking. Motivated by this need, we report here the development of a hydrolysis-based H2Se donor (TDN1042). Utilizing 31P and 77Se NMR experiments, we demonstrate the pH dependence of H2Se release and characterize observed reaction intermediates during the hydrolysis mechanism. Finally, we confirm H2Se release using electrophilic trapping reagents, which not only demonstrates the fidelity of this donor platform but also provides an efficient method for investigating future H2Se donor motifs. Taken together, this work provides an early example of an H2Se donor that functions through a well-defined and characterized mechanism.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an important signaling molecule that provides protective activities in a variety of physiological and pathological processes. Among the different types of H2S donor compounds, thioamides have attracted attention due to prior conjugation to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to access H2S-NSAID hybrids with significantly reduced toxicity, but the mechanism of H2S release from thioamides remains unclear. Herein, we reported the synthesis and evaluation of a class of thioamide-derived sulfenyl thiocarbamates (SulfenylTCMs) that function as a new class of H2S donors. These compounds are efficiently activated by cellular thiols to release carbonyl sulfide (COS), which is quickly converted to H2S by carbonic anhydrase (CA). In addition, through mechanistic investigations, we establish that COS-independent H2S release pathways are also operative. In contrast to the parent thioamide-based donors, the SulfenylTCMs exhibit excellent H2S releasing efficiencies of up to 90% and operate through mechanistically well-defined pathways. In addition, we demonstrate that the sulfenyl thiocarbamate group is readily attached to common NSAIDs, such as naproxen, to generate YZ-597 as an efficient H2S-NSAID hybrid, which we demonstrate releases H2S in cellular environments. Taken together, this new class of H2S donor motifs provides an important platform for new donor development.

Abstract
The recognition of the biological activity of H2S has drawn much attention to the development of biocompatible H2S release reactions. Thiol-, particularly cysteine-triggered systems which mimic the enzymatic conversion of cysteine or homocysteine to H2S have been intensively reported recently. Herein, a density functional theory (DFT) study was performed to address the reaction mechanism of H2S release and potential amide bond formation from thionoesters and cysteine to gain deeper mechanistic insights. Three possible mechanisms were considered and we found that the one starting from the nucleophilic addition of the ionized mercapto of cysteine on thionoester to generate a dithioester intermediate (Path A) is kinetically favored over the others starting from the nucleophilic addition of the amine of cysteine to generate thionoamide intermediates (Paths B and C). Dithioester then undergoes intramolecular nucleophilic addition of an amine group and the rate-limiting water-assisted proton transfer to generate a cyclic thiol intermediate, and finally affords H2S and dihydrothiazole via water-assisted elimination. The hydrolysis of thionoamide or dihydrothiazole to produce amide is highly difficult under neutral conditions but is operative under strong basic conditions, which explains the experimental observation that dihydrothiazole rather than amide is the major product. Meanwhile, the ring opening reaction of the cyclic thiol intermediate to form the more stable thionoamide is detrimental to H2S release and becomes competitive under basic conditions.
