Abstract
Free radicals and oxidants may cause various damages both to the lifeworld and different products. A typical solution for the prophylaxis of oxidation-caused conditions is the usage of various antioxidants. Among them, various classes are found-polyphenols, conjugated polyalkenes, and some sulfur and nitrogen derivatives. Regarding the active site in the molecules, a widely discussed group of compounds are 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds. Among them are natural (e.g., curcumin and pulvinic acids) and synthetic (e.g., 4-hydroxy coumarins, substituted Meldrum's acids) compounds. Herein, information about various compounds containing the 1,3-dicarbonyl moiety is covered, and their antiradical and antioxidant activity, depending on the structure, is discussed.

1,5-Benzodiazepin-2(3H)-ones: In Vitro Evaluation as Antiparkinsonian Agents. Antioxidants (Basel) 2021; 10:antiox10101584. [PMID: 34679721 PMCID: PMC8533176 DOI: 10.3390/antiox10101584] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2021] [Revised: 10/03/2021] [Accepted: 10/05/2021] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
A new series of twenty-three 1,5-benzodiazepin-2(3H)-ones were synthesized and evaluated in the 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assays as a new chemotype with antioxidant and good drug-like properties. All of the derivatives showed low cytotoxicity in comparison to curcumin against the human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y and the human hepatoma HepG2 cell lines. Experimental solubility in bio-relevant media showed a good relationship with melting points in this series. Five compounds with the best antioxidant properties showed neuroprotectant activity against H2O2-induced oxidative stress in the SH-SY5Y cell line. From them, derivatives 4-phenyl-1H-1,5-benzodiazepin-2(3H)-one (18) and 4-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-1H-1,5-benzodiazepin-2(3H)-one (20) yielded good neuroprotection activity in the same neuronal cell line under 6-OHD and MPP+ insults as in vitro models of mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Both compounds also demonstrated a significant reduction of intracellular Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and superoxide levels, in parallel with a good improvement of the Mitochondrial Membrane Potential (ΔΨm). Compared with curcumin, compound 18 better reduced lipid peroxidation levels, malondialdehyde (MDA), in SH-SY5Y cells under oxidative stress pressure and recovered intracellular glutathione synthetase (GSH) levels. Apoptosis and caspase-3 levels of SH-SY5Y under H2O2 pressure were also reduced after treatment with 18. Neuroprotection in neuron-like differentiated SH-SY5Y cells was also achieved with 18. In summary, this family of 1,5-benzodiazepin-2-ones with an interesting antioxidant and drug-like profile, with low cytotoxic and good neuroprotectant activity, constitutes a new promising chemical class with high potential for the development of new therapeutic agents against PD.

Three -(pyridin-2-yl)-2-(pyridin-2-ylimino)thiazolidin-4-one as a novel inhibitor of cerebral MAO-B activity with antioxidant properties and low toxicity potential. J Biochem Mol Toxicol 2021; 35:e22833.

Abstract
Some brain diseases are associated with oxidative stress and altered monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity. The objective of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant and neuroprotective actions through MAO inhibition of 3-(pyridin-2-yl)-2-(pyridine-2-ylimino) thiazolidin-4-one (PPIT, a synthetic molecule containing a thiazolidinone nucleus), as well as its effects on toxicity parameters in Swiss female mice. Five in vitro assays were carried out to verify the PPIT antioxidant capacity: protein carbonylation (PC), 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazil (DPPH), ferric ion (Fe3+ ) reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity. The results showed that PPIT reduced the level of PC in the homogenate of the brain. This compound did not demonstrate SOD mimetic activity, but it acted as a free radical scavenger (ABTS and DPPH) and exhibited reducing activity in the FRAP assay. In addition, the effects of PPIT on cerebral MAO activity (MAO-A and B isoforms) were investigated in vitro. Our data revealed inhibition of the MAO-B activity by PPIT with no effects on MAO-A. Lastly, an acute oral toxicity test was conducted in mice. No changes in food intake, body weight, and biochemical markers of kidney and liver damage were detected in mice treated with a high dose of PPIT (300 mg/kg). In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that PPIT exhibits antioxidant activity and selectively inhibits the MAO-B isoform without causing apparent toxicity. These findings suggest PPIT as a potential therapeutic candidate to be tested in preclinical models of brain diseases involving perturbations of MAO-B activity and redox status.

Curcumin as Scaffold for Drug Discovery against Neurodegenerative Diseases. Biomedicines 2021; 9:biomedicines9020173. [PMID: 33572457 PMCID: PMC7916200 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines9020173] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2021] [Revised: 02/02/2021] [Accepted: 02/08/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) are one of major public health problems and their impact is continuously growing. Curcumin has been proposed for the treatment of several of these pathologies, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) due to the ability of this molecule to reduce inflammation and aggregation of involved proteins. Nevertheless, the poor metabolic stability and bioavailability of curcumin reduce the possibilities of its practical use. For these reasons, many curcumin derivatives were synthetized in order to overcome some limitations. In this review will be highlighted recent results on modification of curcumin scaffold in the search of new effective therapeutic agents against NDs, with particular emphasis on AD.
