RSC Adv 2024; 14:32008-32020. [PMID: 39391623 PMCID: PMC11465011 DOI: 10.1039/d4ra04816d] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2024] [Accepted: 09/18/2024] [Indexed: 10/12/2024] Open
Abstract
The current study focuses on assessing the activity of the N-alkylated benzimidazole based cubosomal hydrogel (cubogel) for the topical treatment of burn wounds. The study involves the synthesis of six benzimidazole derivatives (1-6) and their characterization by FT-IR and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The further study involves the design and formation of nanoparticles known as cubosomes loaded with selected 1-benzyl-1-benzimidazole (API 6) and the development of a cubogel for the topical treatment of burn wounds. Cubosomes were prepared by the homogenization method, using glyceryl monooleate (GMO) as a lipid polymer and poloxamer 407 (P407) as a surfactant. Cubosomes undergo in vitro characterizations (measurement of particle size, zeta potential, polydispersity index (PDI), % entrapment efficiency, drug release in phosphate buffer saline of pH 6.8, and surface morphology by utilizing TEM (transmission electron microscopy). Formulation D3 (2.5% of GMO, 1% of P407, and 2.5% of PVA) emerged as the optimized formulation, displaying a minimum particle size (PS) of 129.9 ± 1 nm, entrapment efficiency (%EE) of 96.67 ± 0.89%, and a drug release of 86 ± 2.7% at 24 h. Carbopol 940 hydrogel was prepared and incorporated with the optimized formulation to prepare cubogel. This optimized cubogel provided 92.56 ± 0.014% in vitro drug release within 24 h. An in vivo histopathological study was conducted on an animal model (rabbit) to assess the efficacy of cubogel in wound healing and wound contraction. Then cubogel was compared with the commercially available creams Clotrimazole® and Polyfax®. The wound treated with newly developed cubogel has maximum wound contraction (96.70%) as compared to the standard creams. The findings revealed that the newly formulated cubogel was highly effective in treating burns, showing superior performance to commercial products without inducing side effects. Additionally, benzimidazole derivative loaded cubogel caused a sustained release for treating burn wounds without any bacterial infections. The current results further suggested phase 0 clinical trials.

Abstract
AbstractSilver(I)-N-heterocyclic carbene (Ag(I)-NHC) complexes of mononuclear and binuclear species, synthesised by our group and others in recent years, offer a fascinating outlook on their bioactivity. These complexes advance a range of adaptable structural patterns, leading to intra-specific variation in anticancer and antimicrobial activities. This study therefore reviews the synthesis, structural analysis and bioactivity of Ag complexes derived from mononuclear-NHC complexes either with coordinating or non-coordinating anions and binuclear NHC complexes. Specifically, the effect of stability, chain lengths and lipophilicity on the biological activity of recently reported Ag(I)-NHC complexes is reviewed. These complexes can be further explored as novel antibacterial and anticancer drugs in the nearest future.

Abstract
Chronic inflammation intensifies the risk for malignant neoplasm, indicating that curbing inflammation could be a valid strategy to prevent or cure cancer. Cancer and inflammation are inter-related diseases and many anti-inflammatory agents are also used in chemotherapy. Earlier, we have reported a series of novel ligands and respective binuclear Ag(I)-NHC complexes (NHC=N-heterocyclic carbene) with potential anticancer activity. In the present study, a newly synthesized salt (II) and respective Ag(I)-NHC complex (III) of comparable molecular framework were prepared for a further detailed study. Preliminarily, II and III were screened against HCT-116 and PC-3 cells, wherein III showed better results than II. Both the compounds showed negligible toxicity against normal CCD-18Co cells. In FAM-FLICA caspase assay, III remarkably induced caspase-3/7 in HCT-116 cells most probably by tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) independent intrinsic pathway and significantly inhibited in vitro synthesis of cytokines, interleukin-1 (IL-1) and TNF-α in human macrophages (U937 cells). In a cell-free system, both the compounds inhibited cyclooxygenase (COX) activities, with III being more selective towards COX-2. The results revealed that III has strong antiproliferative property selectively against colorectal tumor cells which could be attributed to its pro-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory abilities.

Abstract
This paper describes synthesis, characterization (NMR, FT-IR, microanalysis, and X-ray crystallography),in vitroanticancer activity ofortho/para-xylyl linked bis-imidazolium salts (4-5) and respective dinuclear Ag(I)N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes (6-7). All the compounds were tested for their cytotoxicity against human colorectal cancer (HCT 116) and breast cancer (MCF-7) cell lines. According to cell viability measurements using MTT assay, all the complexes (6-7) showed a dose-dependent cytotoxic activity against both the cell lines, whereas respective salts (4-5) proved to be inactive. The complexes (6-7) demonstrated significant activity with IC50values range 5.6–20.3 μM for HCT 116 and 1.12–6.38 μM for MCF-7. 5-Fluorouracil was used as standard drug (IC50= 5.9 μM) for HCT 116, whereas tamoxifen was used as standard drug for MCF-7 (IC50= 14 μM) cell line.
