Morita-Baylis-Hillman Adduct 2-(3-Hydroxy-2-oxoindolin-3-yl)acrylonitrile (ISACN) Modulates Inflammatory Process In vitro and In vivo. Inflammation 2020; 44:899-907. [PMID: 33236262 DOI: 10.1007/s10753-020-01385-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2020] [Revised: 11/14/2020] [Accepted: 11/17/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts (MBHA) are synthetic molecules with several biological actions already described in the literature. It has been previously described that adduct 2-(3-hydroxy-2-oxoindolin-3-yl)acrylonitrile (ISACN) has anticancer potential in leukemic cells. Inflammation is often associated with the development and progression of cancer. Therefore, to better understand the effect of ISACN, this study aimed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory potential of ISACN both in vitro and in vivo. Results demonstrated that ISACN negatively modulated the production of inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-6 by cultured macrophages. In vivo, ISACN 6 and 24 mg/kg treatment promoted reduced leukocyte migration, especially neutrophils, to the peritoneal cavity of zymosan-challenged animals. ISACN displays no anti-edematogenic activity, but it was able to promote a significant reduction in the production of inflammatory cytokines in the peritoneal cavity. These data show, for the first time, that MBHA ISACN negatively modulates several aspects of the inflammatory response, such as cell migration and cytokine production in vivo and in vitro, thus having an anti-inflammatory potential.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with a strong inflammatory response, and inhibiting the response effectively prevents or ameliorates AKI. A series of novel arylpropionic esters were designed, synthesized and evaluated their biological activity in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. Novel arylpropionic esters bearing multi-functional groups showed significant anti-inflammatory activity, in which, compound 13b exhibited the most potent activity through dose-dependent inhibiting the production of nitric oxide (NO, IC50 = 3.52 μM), TNF-α and IL-6 (84.1% and 33.6%, respectively), as well as suppressing the expression of iNOS, COX-2 and TLR4 proteins. In C57BL/6 mice with cisplatin-induced AKI, compound 13b improved kidney function, inhibited inflammatory development, and reduced pathological damage of kidney tissues. In brief, this arylpropionic ester scaffold may be developed as anti-inflammatory agents.

Abstract
Melanin is a natural polymer pigment which provides skin photoprotection against ultraviolet radiation. An excessive synthesis of melanin leads to hyperpigmentation disorders. Tyrosinase catalyzes the rate limiting steps on melanogenesis. Therefore, tyrosinase inhibitors have potential applications in medicine and cosmetic fields. We carried out herein the screening of a family of cyclic Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts (MBH) to find out their effects on tyrosinase activity and on melanogenesis in murine melanoma B16F10 cell line. Kinetic analysis of tyrosinase inhibition showed that compounds 1a (2-hydroxymethyl) cyclohex-2-enone) and 3f (diethyl (1-(6-oxocyclohex-1-en-1-yl) ethyl-phosphonate) were competitive inhibitors, whereas the compound 2b (6-oxocyclohex-1-en-1-yl) ethyl acetate) was a non-competitive one. Additionally we have found that (1a, 2b and 3f) compounds had a strong melanogenesis inhibition effect in isobutylmethylxanthine (IBMX)-treated murine melanoma B16F10 cells when tested at low and non cytotoxic dose (10-50 µM), by attenuating the melanin production, intracellular tyrosinase activity and tyrosinase expression. Thus, we suggest that these compounds could be used as effective skin-whitening agents.

Abstract
The wide variety of potent biological activities of Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts (MBH) encouraged us to synthesize new series of products belonging to this class of compounds, possessing different functionalities and exhibiting potential antioxidant activity. As part of our on-going program on targeting molecules with antioxidant activity, we describe herein different DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) scavenging activities of MBH alcohols and their derivatives including acetates, phosphonates and hydrazonophosphonates. The obtained results showed that the strongest DPPH radical scavenging activity was observed in the case of hydrazonophosphonates in comparison to the other MBH derivatives.
