The LC-MS/MS Identification and Analgesic and Wound Healing Activities of Lavandula officinalis Chaix: In Vivo and In Silico Approaches. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 11:3222. [PMID: 36501262 PMCID: PMC9738568 DOI: 10.3390/plants11233222] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2022] [Revised: 11/17/2022] [Accepted: 11/21/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
We earlier emphasized in vivo the lavender plant's (Lavandula officinalis Chaix.) anti-inflammatory and estrogenic activities and described the chemical compositions of its hydro-ethanolic (HE) extract. We used LC-MS/MS and GC-MS analyses to profile the phytochemical composition of the HE extract and to assess the analgesic and wound-healing effects of both the hydro-ethanolic (HE) and polyphenolic (LOP) extracts in vivo and in silico. The analgesic activity was studied using two methods: acetic acid and formalin injections in mice. The wound-healing activity was carried out over 25 days using a burn model in rats. In the in silico study, the polyphenols identified in the plant were docked in the active sites of three enzymes: casein kinase-1, cyclooxygenase-2, and glycogen synthase kinase-3β. The LC-MS/MS identified some phenolic compounds, mainly apigenin, catechin, and myricetin, and the GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of 19 volatile compounds with triazole, D-glucose, hydroxyphenyl, and D-Ribofuranose as the major compounds. The HE and LOP extracts showed significant decreases in abdominal writhes, and the higher licking time of the paw (57.67%) was observed using the LOP extract at 200 mg/kg. Moreover, both extracts showed high healing percentages, i.e., 99.31 and 92.88%, compared to the control groups, respectively. The molecular docking showed that myricetin, amentoflavone, apigenin, and catechin are the most active molecules against the three enzyme receptors. This study sheds light on the potential of L. officinalis Chaix as a source of natural products for pharmaceutical applications for analgesic purposes as well as their utility in promoting burn-healing activity.

Abstract
Chemical modification of sugars and nucleosides has a long history of producing compounds with improved selectivity and efficacy. In this study, several modified sugars (2–3) and ribonucleoside analogs (4–8) have been synthesized from α-d-glucose in a total of 21 steps. The compounds were tested for peripheral anti-nociceptive characteristics in the acetic acid-induced writhing assay in mice, where compounds 2, 7, and 8 showed a significant reduction in the number of writhes by 56%, 62%, and 63%, respectively. The compounds were also tested for their cytotoxic potential against human HeLa cell line via trypan blue dye exclusion test followed by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. Compound 6 demonstrated significant cytotoxic activity with an IC50 value of 54 µg/mL. Molecular docking simulations revealed that compounds 2, 7, and 8 had a comparable binding affinity to cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzymes. Additionally, the bridged nucleoside analogs 7 and 8 potently inhibited adenosine kinase enzyme as well, which indicates an alternate mechanistic pathway behind their anti-nociceptive action. Cytotoxic compound 6 demonstrated strong docking with cancer drug targets human cytidine deaminase, proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase Src, human thymidine kinase 1, human thymidylate synthase, and human adenosine deaminase 2. This is the first ever reporting of the synthesis and analgesic property of compound 8 and the cytotoxic potential of compound 6.

[PMID: 34588844 PMCID: PMC8463446 DOI: 10.1016/j.jsps.2021.07.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2021] [Accepted: 07/16/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Five α-D-ribofuranose analogues (2, 3, 4, 5 and 6) were synthesized in good yields from 3-O-benzyl-4-C-(hydroxymethyl)-1, 2-O-isopropylidene-α-D-ribofuranose (1). The synthesized compounds were then subjected to analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and antioxidant assays. Compound 3 demonstrated 79.74% (P < 0.001) writhing inhibition and highest reaction time of 2.55 ± 0.13 min (P < 0.001) after 30 min of oral administration in peripheral and central analgesic assay, respectively, at 50 mg/kg dose. Compound 2 and 6 exhibited significant anti-inflammatory activity at 100 mg/kg dose with paw edema inhibition of 91.15% (P < 0.001) and 95.13% (P < 0.001), respectively, in 4th hour. The synthesized analogues did not show notable antioxidant and antibacterial properties. Molecular docking study revealed higher binding affinity of −8.1 kcal/mol and −8.9 kcal/mol of compound 3 towards cyclooxygenase-1 and phospholipase A2, respectively, compared to −7.7 and −7.6 kcal/mol respectively for corresponding native ligands. Compound 2 demonstrated binding affinity of −9.1 kcal/mol towards interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase-4 compared to −8.7 kcal/mol of the native ligand. The molecular properties related to drug likeness of compounds were found to be within acceptable range. Synthesized D-ribofuranose analogues demonstrated promising analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities and further development may lead to new potent analgesic and anti-inflammatory agents.
