[PMID: 37513303 PMCID: PMC10386709 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28145429] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2023] [Revised: 07/06/2023] [Accepted: 07/13/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
A biomimetic mineralization method was used in the facile and rapid preparation of nanoflowers for immobilizing alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH). The method mainly uses ADH as an organic component and zinc phosphate as an inorganic component to prepare flower-like ADH/Zn3(PO4)2 organic-inorganic hybrid nanoflowers (HNFs) with the high specific surface area through a self-assembly process. The synthesis conditions of the ADH HNFs were optimized and its morphology was characterized. Under the optimum enzymatic reaction conditions, the Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) of ADH HNFs (β-NAD+ as substrate) was measured to be 3.54 mM, and the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of the positive control ranitidine (0.2-0.8 mM) was determined to be 0.49 mM. Subsequently, the inhibitory activity of natural medicine Penthorum chinense Pursh and nine small-molecule compounds on ADH was evaluated using ADH HNFs. The inhibition percentage of the aqueous extract of P. chinense is 57.9%. The vanillic acid, protocatechuic acid, gallic acid, and naringenin have obvious inhibitory effects on ADH, and their percentages of inhibition are 55.1%, 68.3%, 61.9%, and 75.5%, respectively. Moreover, molecular docking analysis was applied to explore the binding modes and sites of the four most active small-molecule compounds to ADH. The results of this study can broaden the application of immobilized enzymes through biomimetic mineralization, and provide a reference for the discovery of ADH inhibitors from natural products.

Jangjou A, Moqadas M, Mohsenian L, Kamyab H, Chelliapan S, Alshehery S, Ali MA, Dehbozorgi F, Yadav KK, Khorami M, Zarei Jelyani N. Awareness raising and dealing with methanol poisoning based on effective strategies. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 228:115886. [PMID: 37072082 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.115886] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2023] [Revised: 04/04/2023] [Accepted: 04/10/2023] [Indexed: 05/16/2023]
Abstract
Intoxication with methanol most commonly occurs as a consequence of ingesting, inhaling, or coming into contact with formulations that include methanol as a base. Clinical manifestations of methanol poisoning include suppression of the central nervous system, gastrointestinal symptoms, and decompensated metabolic acidosis, which is associated with impaired vision and either early or late blindness within 0.5-4 h after ingestion. After ingestion, methanol concentrations in the blood that are greater than 50 mg/dl should raise some concern. Ingested methanol is typically digested by alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), and it is subsequently redistributed to the body's water to attain a volume distribution that is about equivalent to 0.77 L/kg. Moreover, it is removed from the body as its natural, unchanged parent molecules. Due to the fact that methanol poisoning is relatively uncommon but frequently involves a large number of victims at the same time, this type of incident occupies a special position in the field of clinical toxicology. The beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in an increase in erroneous assumptions regarding the preventative capability of methanol in comparison to viral infection. More than 1000 Iranians fell ill, and more than 300 of them passed away in March of this year after they consumed methanol in the expectation that it would protect them from a new coronavirus. The Atlanta epidemic, which involved 323 individuals and resulted in the deaths of 41, is one example of mass poisoning. Another example is the Kristiansand outbreak, which involved 70 people and resulted in the deaths of three. In 2003, the AAPCC received reports of more than one thousand pediatric exposures. Since methanol poisoning is associated with high mortality rates, it is vital that the condition be addressed seriously and managed as quickly as feasible. The objective of this review was to raise awareness about the mechanism and metabolism of methanol toxicity, the introduction of therapeutic interventions such as gastrointestinal decontamination and methanol metabolism inhibition, the correction of metabolic disturbances, and the establishment of novel diagnostic/screening nanoparticle-based strategies for methanol poisoning such as the discovery of ADH inhibitors as well as the detection of the adulteration of alcoholic drinks by nanoparticles in order to prevent methanol poisoning. In conclusion, increasing warnings and knowledge about clinical manifestations, medical interventions, and novel strategies for methanol poisoning probably results in a decrease in the death load.

Magnetic particles for enzyme immobilization: A versatile support for ligand screening. J Pharm Biomed Anal 2021; 204:114286.

Abstract
Enzyme inhibitors represent a substantial fraction of all small molecules currently in clinical use. Therefore, the early stage of drug-discovery process and development efforts are focused on the identification of new enzyme inhibitors through screening assays. The use of immobilized enzymes on solid supports to probe ligand-enzyme interactions have been employed with success not only to identify and characterize but also to isolate new ligands from complex mixtures. Between the available solid supports, magnetic particles have emerged as a promising support for enzyme immobilization due to the high superficial area, easy separation from the reaction medium and versatility. Particularly, the ligand fishing assay has been employed as a very useful tool to rapidly isolate bioactive compounds from complex mixtures, and hence the use of magnetic particles for enzyme immobilization has been widespread. Thus, this review provides a critical overview of the screening assays using immobilized enzymes on magnetic particles between 2006 and 2021.

Abstract
A series of new polysubstituted derivatives of 2-tetralones possessing two ester groups were synthesized via a tandem aldol condensation-Diels–Alder-aromatization sequence of reactions. All the three steps took place in one pot and in the presence of aminofunctionalized silica coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles as the catalyst. In situ formed dienes reacted with diethyl acetylenedicarboxylate at room temperature and the process was followed by spontaneous aromatization of the cycloadducts to produce high yields of the final tetralone products. Further studies suggest that the process goes through an initial aldol condensation-cycloaddition sequence followed by oxidation and rearrangement steps. After completion of the reactions, the catalyst could be recycled and reused efficiently in subsequent reactions.

Abstract
In 2011, we wrote a review for summarizing the phytochemical analysis (2006-2010) of medicine and food dual purposes plants used in China (Zhao et al., J. Chromatogr. A 1218 (2011) 7453-7475). Since then, more than 750 articles related to their phytochemical analysis have been published. Therefore, an updated review for the advanced development (2011-2014) in this topic is necessary for well understanding the quality control and health beneficial phytochemicals in these materials, as well as their research trends.
