Abstract
Piperine is an amide alkaloid responsible for producing the pungent smell that comes from black pepper. Piperine has been explained to exhibit significant properties such as anti-rheumatic, anti-inflammatory, and antihypertensive effects. The aim of the study was to synthesize pyrrole ester from piperine and evaluate its anti-arthritis effects in adjuvant-induced arthritis female Wistar rats. In this study, pyrrole ester (AU-5) was designed, synthesized and evaluated for ant-arthritic activity in adjuvant-induced arthritis Wistar rats. The synthesized pyrrole ester (AU-5) was administered in three selected doses (20, 10 and 5 mg/kg) to the arthritic-induced model. The administered ester significantly inhibited the increase in arthritis index, paw and ankle joint swelling compared to the arthritic control group. Similarly, the treated rats exhibited a remarkable increase in body weight increase, improved haematological, biochemical, histopathological and radiological parameters. Moreover, the excess production of rheumatoid factor (RF), C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) was noticeably attenuated in all AU-5-treated rats. However, the spleen index, tumour necrosis factor (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were distinctly lowered compared to arthritic control rats. Moreover, AU-5 showed promising liver protection by lowering the level of liver function markers Serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT), Serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in serum. Henceforth, it might be concluded that AU-5 has an anti-arthritic effect which can be credited to the down regulation of inflammatory markers and the pro-inflammatory cytokines.

A comparative metabolomic investigation of different sections of Sicilian Citrus x limon (L.) Osbeck, characterization of bioactive metabolites, and evaluation of in vivo toxicity on zebrafish embryo. J Food Sci 2024; 89:3729-3744. [PMID: 38709878 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.17079] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2023] [Revised: 03/14/2024] [Accepted: 03/31/2024] [Indexed: 05/08/2024]
Abstract
Citrus fruits are a diverse and economically important group of fruit crops known for their distinctive flavors and high nutritional value. Their cultivation and consumption contribute significantly to the global agricultural economy and offer a wide range of health benefits. Among the genetic diversity of citrus species, Citrus x limon (L.) Osbeck is particularly relevant due to its chemical composition and potential health benefits. Two cultivars from the Sicily region (southern Italy) were compared for their phenolic content and preliminary antioxidant activity to select the distinctive extract with potential biological activity. A detailed characterization revealed the occurrence of phenolics, coumarins, and flavonoids. The quantification of metabolites contained in the selected extract was performed by an ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatographic method coupled with an ultraviolet detector. Different concentrations were tested in vivo through the fish embryo acute toxicity test, and the 50% lethal dose of 107,833 µg mL-1 was calculated. Finally, the effect of the extract on hatching was evaluated, and a dose-dependent relationship with the accelerated hatching rate was reported, suggesting a Femminello Zagara Bianca green peel upregulating effect on the hatching enzymes. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Citrus fruits and their products continue to be one of the natural food sources with the highest waste output. In this study, we demonstrate how food industry waste, particularly lemon peel, is rich in bioactive compounds with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that may be used in the nutraceuticals industry.

Inflammopharmacology 2024; 32:1277-1294. [PMID: 38407703 PMCID: PMC11006818 DOI: 10.1007/s10787-024-01439-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2023] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 02/27/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Ferroptosis has been reported to play a role in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Sulfasalazine, a common clinical treatment for ankylosing spondylitis, also exerts pathological influence on the progression of rheumatoid arthritis including the induced ferroptosis of fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs), which result in the perturbated downstream signaling and the development of RA. The aim of this study was to investigate the underlying mechanism so as to provide novel insight for the treatment of RA. METHODS CCK-8 and Western blotting were used to assess the effect of sulfasalazine on FLSs. A collagen-induced arthritis mouse model was constructed by the injection of collagen and Freund's adjuvant, and then, mice were treated with sulfasalazine from day 21 after modeling. The synovium was extracted and ferroptosis was assessed by Western blotting and immunofluorescence staining. RESULTS The results revealed that sulfasalazine promotes ferroptosis. Compared with the control group, the expression levels of ferroptosis-related proteins such as glutathione peroxidase 4, ferritin heavy chain 1, and solute carrier family 7, member 11 (SLC7A11) were lower in the experimental group. Furthermore, deferoxamine inhibited ferroptosis induced by sulfasalazine. Sulfasalazine-promoted ferroptosis was related to a decrease in ERK1/2 and the increase of P53. CONCLUSIONS Sulfasalazine promoted ferroptosis of FLSs in rheumatoid arthritis, and the PI3K-AKT-ERK1/2 pathway and P53-SLC7A11 pathway play an important role in this process.

Abstract
This comprehensive review, covering 2021-2023, explores the multifaceted chemical and pharmacological potential of coumarins, emphasizing their significance as versatile natural derivatives in medicinal chemistry. The synthesis and functionalization of coumarins have advanced with innovative strategies. This enabled the incorporation of diverse functional fragments or the construction of supplementary cyclic architectures, thereby the biological and physico-chemical properties of the compounds obtained were enhanced. The unique chemical structure of coumarine facilitates binding to various targets through hydrophobic interactions pi-stacking, hydrogen bonding, and dipole-dipole interactions. Therefore, this important scaffold exhibits promising applications in uncountable fields of medicinal chemistry (e.g., neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, inflammation).

Abstract
Objectives In this study, the SP-38 (Diterpene Lactone derivative) was designed, synthesized from clerodane diterpene (lactone) isolated from Polyanthia longifolia var. pendula, and tested for anti-arthritic activity using the FCA-induced arthritic rat model. Materials and Methods This study examined the in vivo effects of SP-38 using three different doses (20, 10, and 5 mg/kg) by oral administration for 21 days from day 8 after 0.1 ml FCA sub-planter injection until day 28. Arthritis index, paw swelling, ankle diameter, body weight as well as biochemical, hematological, histopathological, and radiological parameters were examined. Results Administered SP-38 reduced arthritis index, paw volume, and joint swelling compared to the arthritic control group. Accordingly, rats treated with SP-38 showed a remarkable increase in body weight and improved biochemical, hematological, histopathological, and radiological parameters. Furthermore, it reduced the increased production of CRP and RF while simultaneously decreasing ESR in all SP-38-treated rats. However, SP-38 showed promising liver protection by reducing elevated serum levels of liver and kidney function markers SGOT, SGPT, and ALP. Furthermore, splenic index, TNF-α, and IL-6 levels were significantly reduced compared to arthritic control rats at certain doses. Conclusion The result of the present study concludes that SP-38 has significant anti-arthritic potential in FCA-induced arthritis in Wistar rats. SP-38 therefore showed promising anti-arthritic activity, as evidenced by attenuation of inflammation, inflammatory markers, and pro-inflammatory cytokine levels.

Abstract
In this study, a total of 12 coumarin-chalcone derivatives, 6 of which are original were synthesized. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were elucidated by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR, and elemental analysis methods (7g-7l). The antioxidant potencies measured by using CUPRAC method (Trolox equivalent total antioxidant capacity) were as follows: 7j > 7i > 7c > 7d > 7k > 7l > 7f > 7h > 7e > 7g > 7a > 7b. Furthermore, the compounds were evaluated against human carbonic anhydrases I, II, acetylcholinesterase and α-glycosidase enzymes. Compounds 7c, 7e, 7g, 7i, 7j and 7l showed promising human carbonic anhydrase I inhibition compared to the standard Acetazolamide (Ki: 16.64 ± 4.72-49.82 ± 5.82 nM vs Ki: 57.64 ± 5.41 nM). In addition, all compounds exhibited strong inhibition against acetylcholinesterase and α-glycosidase. Ki values were between 2.39 ± 0.97-9.35 ± 3.95 nM (Tacrine Ki: 13.78 ± 4.36 nM) for acetylcholinesterase, and 14.49 ± 8.51-75.67 ± 26.38 nM (Acarbose Ki: 12600 ± 78.00 nM) for α-glycosidase. Binding of 7g was predicted using molecular docking and stability of the complex was confirmed with molecular dynamics simulations which shed a light on the observed activity against acetylcholinesterase. Finally, cyclic voltammetry was also used for the electrochemical characterization of the synthesized compounds.

Abstract
Being the sixth most diagnosed cancer and the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, liver cancer is considered as a serious disease with a high prevalence and poor prognosis. Current anticancer drugs for liver cancer have drawbacks, such as limited efficacy in later stages of the disease, toxicity to healthy cells, and the potential for drug resistance. There is ample evidence that coumarin-based compounds are potent anticancer agents, with numerous analogues currently being investigated in preclinical and clinical studies. The current study aimed to explore the antitumor potency of a new class of 8-methoxycoumarin-3-carboxamides against liver cancer. Toward this aim, we have designed, synthesized, and characterized a new set of N-(substituted-phenyl)-8-methoxycoumarin-3-carboxamide analogues. The assessment of antitumor activity revealed that the synthesized class of compounds possesses substantial cytotoxicity toward Hep-G2 cells when compared to staurosporine, without significant impact on normal cells. Out of the synthesized compounds, compound 7 demonstrated the most potent cytotoxic effect against Hep-G2 cells with an IC50 of 0.75 µM, which was more potent than the drug staurosporine (IC50 = 8.37 µM). The investigation into the mechanism behind the antiproliferative activity of compound 7 revealed that it interferes with DNA replication and induces DNA damage, leading to cell cycle arrest as demonstrated by a significant decrease in the percentage of cells in the G1 and G2/M phases, along with an increase in the percentage of cells in the S phase. Flow cytometric analysis further revealed that compound 7 has the ability to trigger programmed cell death by inducing necrosis and apoptosis in HepG-2 cells. Further explorations into the mechanism of action demonstrated that compound 7 displays a potent dual-inhibitory activity toward cytochrome P450 and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) proteins, as compared to sorafenib drug. Further, detailed computational studies revealed that compound 7 displays a considerable binding affinity toward the binding cavity of VEGFR2 and CYP450 proteins. Taken together, our findings indicate that the newly synthesized class of compounds, particularly compound 7, could serve as a promising scaffold for the development of highly effective anticancer agents against liver cancer.

Abstract
Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic joint inflammation. Methotrexate is one of the most effective drugs for rheumatoid arthritis, but the adverse reactions caused by oral methotrexate greatly limit its clinical application. Transdermal drug delivery system is an ideal alternative to oral methotrexate by absorbing drugs into the human body through the skin. However, methotrexate in the existing methotrexate microneedles is mostly used alone, and there are few reports of combined use with other anti-inflammatory drugs. Methods: In this study, glycyrrhizic acid was first modified onto carbon dots, and then methotrexate was loaded to construct a nano-drug delivery system with fluorescence and dual anti-inflammatory effects. Then hyaluronic acid was combined with nano-drug delivery system to prepare biodegradable soluble microneedles for transdermal drug delivery of rheumatoid arthritis. The prepared nano-drug delivery system was characterized by transmission electron microscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, laser nanoparticle size analyzer, ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimeter and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer. The results showed that glycyrrhizic acid and methotrexate were successfully loaded on carbon dots, and the drug loading of methotrexate was 49.09%. The inflammatory cell model was constructed by lipopolysaccharide-induced RAW264.7 cells. In vitro cell experiments were used to explore the inhibitory effect of the constructed nano-drug delivery system on the secretion of inflammatory factors by macrophages and the cell imaging ability. The drug loading, skin penetration ability, in vitro transdermal delivery and in vivo dissolution characteristics of the prepared microneedles were investigated. The rat model of rheumatoid arthritis was induced by Freund's complete adjuvant. Results: The results of in vivo animal experiments showed that the soluble microneedles of the nano drug delivery system designed and prepared in this study could significantly inhibit the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines and had a significant therapeutic effect on arthritis. Discussion: The prepared glycyrrhizic acid-carbon dots-methotrexate soluble microneedle provides a feasible solution for the treatment of Rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a slow in taking effect systemic autoimmune disease. Prunus Tomentosa Thumb Total Flavones (PTTTF) has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to the PTTTF on adjuvant arthritis (AA) in rats and to explore the mechanism of autophagy. METHODS Adjuvant arthritis model was established in rats. The cyclooxygenase 1 (COX-1) and cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-17 (IL-17), tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) of rat synovial tissue were determined by RT-PCR. The histopathological varieties of knee joints in AA rats were observed by HE staining. The expressions of autophagy-related proteins ATG5, ATG7, ATG12, Beclin1, Lc3II and Bcl-2 in rat synovial tissue were determined by Western Blotting. RESULTS PTTTF (50, 100, 200 mg/kg) significantly inhibited inflammation in rats (P< 0.01). PTTTF significantly inhibited inflammatory factor COX in rat synovial tissue. COX-2, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-17, TNF-α expression (P< 0.05); PTTTF can significantly improve the pathological damage of rat knee joint PTTTF and can significantly inhibited the expression of autophagy-related proteins in rat synovium (P< 0.05 ). CONCLUSION PTTTF can inhibit adjuvant arthritis in rats and can inhibit the expression of autophagy-related proteins ATG5, ATG7, ATG12, Beclin1, Lc3II and Bcl-2.

Abstract
Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases characterised by chronic hyperglycaemia caused by multiple causes, which is caused by insulin secretion and/or utilisation defects. It is characterised by increased fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels due to insulin deficiency or insulin resistance. It is reported that the harm of diabetes mainly comes from its complications, and the cardiovascular disease caused by diabetes is the primary cause of its harm. China has the largest number of diabetic patients in the world, and the prevention and control of diabetes are facing great challenges. In recent years, many kinds of literature have been published abroad, which have proved that coumarin and its derivatives are effective in the treatment of diabetic complications such as nephropathy and cardiovascular disease. In this paper, the types of antidiabetic drugs and the anti-diabetic mechanism of coumarins were reviewed.

Abstract
We have carried out the design, synthesis, and evaluation of a small library of 2-aminobenzoxazole-appended coumarins as novel inhibitors of tumour-related CAs IX and XII. Substituents on C-3 and/or C-4 positions of the coumarin scaffold, and on the benzoxazole moiety, together with the length of the linker connecting both units were modified to obtain useful structure-activity relationships. CA inhibition studies revealed a good selectivity towards tumour-associated CAs IX and XII (Ki within the mid-nanomolar range in most of the cases) in comparison with CAs I, II, IV, and VII (Ki > 10 µM); CA IX was found to be slightly more sensitive towards structural changes. Docking calculations suggested that the coumarin scaffold might act as a prodrug, binding to the CAs in its hydrolysed form, which is in turn obtained due to the esterase activity of CAs. An increase of the tether length and of the substituents steric hindrance was found to be detrimental to in vitro antiproliferative activities. Incorporation of a chlorine atom on C-3 of the coumarin moiety achieved the strongest antiproliferative agent, with activities within the low micromolar range for the panel of tumour cell lines tested.

Abstract
Doxorubicin belongs to the class of anthracycline antibiotics that is widely used in the treatment protocols of a wide range of malignancies. The major deleterious effect of doxorubicin use is the possible occurrence of cardiotoxicity. This study aimed to delineate the possible effects of targeting oxidative stress, NLRP3 inflammasome, and autophagy by fraxetin on doxorubicin-induced cardiac dysfunction in rats. In a model of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity, the effects of different doses of fraxetin were assessed by determination of biochemical, histopathological, immunohistochemical, and electron microscopic changes. Fraxetin, in a dose-dependent manner, was found to have the ability to mitigate the harmful effects of oxidative stress and inflammation on myocardial muscles with significant decrease in NLRP3 inflammasome, augmentation of autophagy, and amelioration of the apoptotic signaling pathways. In addition, fraxetin, in a dose-dependent manner, had the ability to combat the echocardiographic, histopathological, immunohistochemical, and electron microscopic changes induced by doxorubicin in cardiomyocytes. As a result, fraxetin may be put into consideration as a new adjuvant line of therapy on the way to mitigate doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Coumarin is a naturally available molecule and has been identified as a potent pharmacophore due to its pharmacological activity. Because of this, coumarin has been exploited synthetically to prepare a wide range of derivatives. In fact, most coumarin derivatives have been found to be less toxic, which is the most essential property for a drug molecule. Such molecules are being prepared for therapeutic use as broad-spectrum pharmacological agents. Microbial diseases including viral diseases have become very common and are responsible for many deaths worldwide. In particular, microbial drug resistance is a problem that needs to be tackled in an effective manner. Also, for Alzheimer's disease, which affects most elderly persons, no efficient chemotherapy exists. In addition, although diabetes, a metabolic syndrome, can be treated with many drugs, there is no complete cure. Thus, more potent antidiabetic agents are required for the management of diabetes. Likewise, for the treatment of a wide range of ailments caused by microbes, genetic factors, or lifestyle-related factors, an efficient drug regimen is needed. In view of this, coumarin derivatives are designed and evaluated. Here, coumarin derivatives that have been reported recently are compiled, classified and evaluated critically. This study briefly takes the structure-activity relationship into consideration and suggests the next suitable step. With a focus on the most potent molecules, the pharmacological activity of the evaluated molecules is described.

[PMID: 34325277 DOI: 10.1016/j.tice.2021.101591] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2021] [Revised: 06/17/2021] [Accepted: 07/07/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the possible effects of miR-26b-5p on fibroblast-like synovial cells in rheumatoid arthritis (RA-FLS) through targeting enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2). METHODS Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect miR-26b-5p and EZH2 expressions in synovial tissues of RA patients and healthy controls. Dual luciferase reporter assay was adopted to verify the targeting relationship between miR-26b-5p and EZH2. RA-FLS was divided into Blank, mimics NC, mimics, NC siRNA, EZH2 siRNA and inhibitors + EZH2 siRNA groups, followed by the assessment of proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion. The expression of genes and proteins in RA-FLS was tested by qRT-PCR and western blotting, respectively. RESULTS MiR-26b-5p expression was lower, while EZH2 expression was higher in synovial tissue of RA patients than healthy controls; and miR-26b-5p was negatively correlated with the EZH2 in synovial tissue of RA patients, which were both related with disease activities. MiR-26b-5p can target EZH2 in RA-FLS. In vitro, miR-26b-5p mimics down-regulated EZH2 expression in RA-FLS. Compared with EZH2 siRNA group, the miR-26b-5p expression in inhibitors + EZH2 siRNA group was reduced, but EZH2 expression was increased. EZH2 siRNA inhibited the proliferation, invasion and migration of RA-FLS, promoted cell apoptosis, and inhibited the expression of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-17, MMP-2, MMP-9, which were reversed by miR-26b-5p inhibitor. CONCLUSION MiR-26b-5p may affect the biological characteristics of RA-FLS via targeting EZH2, including proliferation, apoptosis, invasion and migration, as well as the secretion of cytokines, thus playing a potential therapeutic role in RA.
