Abstract
Development of a new catalytic and straightforward strategy to construct C-N bonds is playing a pivotal role in synthetic chemistry. Here, we report a photocatalysed protocol to access direct C-H amidation of indoles, enabled by a rationally designed tert-butyl alkyl((perfluoropyridin-4-yl)oxy)carbamate. A series of biologically important aminoindoles were prepared under mild conditions with excellent regioselectivity and broad substrate scope.

Antioxidants (Basel) 2023; 12:1590. [PMID: 37627584 PMCID: PMC10451816 DOI: 10.3390/antiox12081590] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2023] [Revised: 08/02/2023] [Accepted: 08/04/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Ferroptosis is a form of oxidative cell death that is characterized by enhanced lipid peroxidation and mitochondrial impairment. The enzymes acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4) and lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase (LPCAT) play an essential role in the biosynthesis of polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA)-containing phospholipids, thereby providing the substrates for lipid peroxidation and promoting ferroptosis. To examine the impact of mitochondria in ACSL4/LPCAT2-driven ferroptosis, HEK293T cells overexpressing ACSL4 and LPCAT2 (OE) or empty vector controls (LV) were exposed to 1S, 3R-RSL3 (RSL3) for induction of ferroptosis. The ACSL4/LPCAT2 overexpression resulted in higher sensitivity against RSL3-induced cell death compared to LV-transfected controls. Moreover, mitochondrial parameters such as mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation, mitochondrial membrane potential, and mitochondrial respiration deteriorated in the OE cells, supporting the conclusion that mitochondria play a significant role in ACSL4/LPCAT2-driven ferroptosis. This was further confirmed through the protection of OE cells against RSL3-mediated cell death by the mitochondrial ROS scavenger mitoquinone (MitoQ), which exerted protection via antioxidative properties rather than through previously reported metabolic effects. Our findings implicate that mitochondrial ROS production and the accompanying organelle disintegration are essential for mediating oxidative cell death initiated through lipid peroxidation in ferroptosis.

Thiazole derivatives as dual inhibitors of deoxyribonuclease I and 5-lipoxygenase: A promising scaffold for the development of neuroprotective drugs. Chem Biol Interact 2023; 381:110542. [PMID: 37224992 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbi.2023.110542] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2023] [Revised: 05/02/2023] [Accepted: 05/15/2023] [Indexed: 05/26/2023]
Abstract
A library of 43 thiazole derivatives, including 31 previously and 12 newly synthesized in the present study, was evaluated in vitro for their inhibitory properties against bovine pancreatic DNase I. Nine compounds (including three newly synthesized) inhibited the enzyme showing improved inhibitory properties compared to that of the reference crystal violet (IC50 = 346.39 μM). Two compounds (5 and 29) stood out as the most potent DNase I inhibitors, with IC50 values below 100 μM. The 5-LO inhibitory properties of the investigated derivatives were also analyzed due to the importance of this enzyme in the development of neurodegenerative diseases. Compounds (12 and 29) proved to be the most prominent new 5-LO inhibitors, with IC50 values of 60 nM and 56 nM, respectively, in cell-free assay. Four compounds, including one previously (41) and three newly (12, 29 and 30) synthesized, have the ability to inhibit DNase I with IC50 values below 200 μM and 5-LO with IC50 values below 150 nM in cell-free assay. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations were used to clarify DNase I and 5-LO inhibitory properties of the most potent representatives at the molecular level. The newly synthesized compound 29 (4-((4-(3-bromo-4-morpholinophenyl)thiazol-2-yl)amino)phenol) represents the most promising dual DNase I and 5-LO inhibitor, as it inhibited 5-LO in the nanomolar and DNase I in the double-digit micromolar concentration ranges. The results obtained in the present study, together with our recently published results for 4-(4-chlorophenyl)thiazol-2-amines, represent a good basis for the development of new neuroprotective therapeutics based on dual inhibition of DNase I and 5-LO.

Abstract
Diabetes is a leading cause of kidney failure, blindness, heart attacks and lower limb amputation. Prevalence of diabetes is rising globally. α-glucosidase is validated target for controlling hyperglycemia because of its role in catalysing hydrolysis of carbohydrates to glucose in GIT. In an attempt to find novel safe and effective α-glucosidase inhibitors, coumarin linked thiazole was identified as potential scaffold on the basis of its interactions with the active site of α-glucosidase studied in silico. A series of coumarin linked thiazole derivatives were synthesized and analyzed for α-glucosidase inhibitory potential in an in-vitro assay. The synthesized molecules showed potent inhibition of α-glucosidase with IC50 values ranging from 0.14 to 9.38 μM. The most potent compound 2-[(4-bromophenyl) amino)-N-(4- (2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl) thiazol-2-yl] acetamide was further docked with α-glucosidase and molecular dynamics studies were carried out for 100 ns which suggested the stability of protein and ligand in the protein active site over the simulation period and role of hydrophobic interactions slightly more than the electrostatic/polar interactions in ligand- receptor stability. In summary, our results demonstrate efficacy of coumarin-linked thiazole as potential leads for further optimization and development.

Abstract
A library of 31 butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) and cathepsin B (CatB) inhibitors, was screened in vitro for inhibition of deoxyribonuclease I (DNase I). Compounds 22, 8 and 7 are among the most potent synthetic non-peptide DNase I inhibitors reported up to date. Three 8-hydroxyquinoline analogues inhibited both DNase I and BChE with IC50 values below 35 µM and 50 nM, respectively, while 2 nitroxoline derivatives inhibited DNase I and Cat B endopeptidase activity with IC50 values below 60 µM and 20 µM, respectively. Selected derivatives were screened for various co-target binding affinities at dopamine D2 and D3, histamine H3 and H4 receptors and inhibition of 5-lipoxygenase. Compound 8 bound to the H3 receptor and is highlighted as the most promising multifunctional ligand with a favorable pharmacokinetic profile and one of the most potent non-peptide DNase I inhibitors. The present study demonstrates that 8-hydroxyquinoline is a structural fragment critical for DNase I inhibition in the presented series of compounds.

Abstract
AbstractThe synthesis and structural characterization of N-(6-methoxypyridin-3-yl)-4-(pyridin-2-yl)thiazol-2-amine mono-hydrobromide monohydrate (3) and N-(6-methoxypyridin-3-yl)-4-(pyrazin-2-yl)thiazol-2-amine mono-hydrobromide 0.35 methanol solvate (4) are reported. The crystal structures of 3 (monoclinic, space group P21/n, Z = 4) and 4 (monoclinic, space group, C2/c, Z = 8) feature N,4-diheteroaryl 2-aminothiazoles showing similar molecular conformations but different sites of protonation and thus distinctly different intermolecular hydrogen bonding patterns. In 3, Namine–H⋯Br−, N+pyridine–H⋯Owater, and Owater–H⋯Br− hydrogen bonds link protonated N-(6-methoxypyridin-3-yl)-4-(pyridin-2-yl)thiazol-2-amine and water molecules and bromide anions into a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network, whereas intermolecular N+methoxypyridine–H⋯Npyrazine hydrogen bonds result in hydrogen-bonded zigzag chains of protonated N-(6-methoxypyridin-3-yl)-4-(pyrazin-2-yl)thiazol-2-amine molecules in 4.

Abstract
The miRNA biogenesis is tightly regulated to avoid dysfunction and consequent disease development. Here, we describe modulation of miRNA processing as a novel noncanonical function of the 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) enzyme in monocytic cells. In differentiated Mono Mac 6 (MM6) cells, we found an in situ interaction of 5-LO with Dicer, a key enzyme in miRNA biogenesis. RNA sequencing of small noncoding RNAs revealed a functional impact, knockout of 5-LO altered the expression profile of several miRNAs. Effects of 5-LO could be observed at two levels. qPCR analyses thus indicated that (a) 5-LO promotes the transcription of the evolutionarily conserved miR-99b/let-7e/miR-125a cluster and (b) the 5-LO-Dicer interaction downregulates the processing of pre-let-7e, resulting in an increase in miR-125a and miR-99b levels by 5-LO without concomitant changes in let-7e levels in differentiated MM6 cells. Our observations suggest that 5-LO regulates the miRNA profile by modulating the Dicer-mediated processing of distinct pre-miRNAs. 5-LO inhibits the formation of let-7e which is a well-known inducer of cell differentiation, but promotes the generation of miR-99b and miR-125a known to induce cell proliferation and the maintenance of leukemic stem cell functions.

Abstract
The present review article summarizes the synthesis of allenes, which bear an adjacent functional group, by [3,3]- or [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of appropriate propargyl substrates. Functionalized allenes, such as allenyl isothiocyanates, isoelenocyanates, isocyanates, thiocyanates, azides, azo compounds and others, are easily available by these methods. In several cases, however, the title compounds show high reactivity, which leads to rapid intermolecular or intramolecular successive reactions. Consequently, synthesis of the allenes by sigmatropic rearrangement has to be combined with special techniques, for example, flash vacuum pyrolysis or in situ generation and trapping reactions. The high tendency of the presented functionalized allenes to undergo cyclization reactions can be utilized to prepare heterocyclic products, for instance, thiazoles, selenazoles, 1,2,3-triazoles and pyrazoles. The synthesis of functionalized 1,3-butadienes by a second sigmatropic rearrangement of the title compounds is also successful.

Abstract
RATIONALE Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) analysis of covalent 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors is challenging due to unknown amino acid specificity and low posttranslational modification (PTM)-identification rates. The analysis of the amino-acid specificity and of the characteristic fragmentation of chemically modified peptides is considered to improve knowledge for the analysis of chemically modified peptides and proteins by MALDI-MS. METHODS Various compounds were used to investigate the modification of synthetic peptides carrying reactive amino acid residues. Mass spectra were recorded using a MALDI-LTQ Orbitrap XL for high-resolution mass spectrometry and ion trap MALDI-MS2 . UV-Vis-based reduction and radical scavenging analysis was conducted. The on-plate digestion method described by Rühl et al was utilized for modification-site analysis at 5-lipoxygenase. RESULTS The analysis of amino-acid-specific reactivity revealed the reactivity of quinones towards cysteine residues and the potential occurrence of a subsequent oxidative process was observed by an UV-Vis-based reduction assay. MALDI collision-induced dissociation tandem mass spectrometry (CID-MS2 ) indicated a prominent fragmentation mechanism of modified cysteine and histidine residues. Fragmentation included highly abundant neutral-loss signals which could be used to identify new modifications induced by chemical modifiers at the cysteine-159 residue of 5-lipoxygenase. CONCLUSIONS Specificity and fragmentation analysis provides crucial information for the analysis of chemically modified cysteines and histidines by MALDI-MS. Elucidation of binding sites by MALDI-MS has been significantly improved using an easy-to-run peptide assay and gives background information for the analysis in the case of chemically modified 5-lipoxygenase.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Severe blunt chest trauma in humans is associated with high mortality rates. Whereas lung tissue damage and lung inflammation after blunt chest trauma have extensively been investigated, the traumatic and posttraumatic effects on the heart remain poorly understood. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to define cardiac injury patterns in an experimental blunt chest trauma model in rats. METHODS Experimental blunt chest trauma was induced by a blast wave in rats, with subsequent analysis of its effects on the heart. The animals were subjected either to a sham or trauma procedure. Systemic markers for cardiac injury were determined after 24 h and 5 days. Postmortem analysis of heart tissue addressed structural injury and inflammation 24 h and 5 days after trauma. RESULTS Plasma levels of extracellular histones were elevated 24 h and 5 days after blunt chest trauma compared to sham-treated animals. In the heart, up-regulation of interleukin-1β 24 h after trauma and increased myeloperoxidase activity 24 h and 5 days after trauma were accompanied by reduced complement C5a receptor-1 expression 24 h after trauma. Histological analysis revealed extravasation of erythrocytes and immunohistochemical analysis alteration of the pattern of the gap-junction protein connexin 43. Furthermore, a slight reduction of α-actinin and desmin expression in cardiac tissue was found after trauma together with a minor increase in sarcoplasmatic/endoplasmatic reticlulum calcium-ATPase (SERCA) expression. CONCLUSIONS The clinically highly relevant rat model of blast wave-induced blunt chest trauma is associated with cardiac inflammation and structural alterations in cardiac tissue.

Abstract
The arachidonic acid cascade is a key player in inflammation, and numerous well-established drugs interfere with this pathway. Previous studies have suggested that simultaneous inhibition of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) and soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) results in synergistic anti-inflammatory effects. In this study, a novel prototype of a dual 5-LO/sEH inhibitor KM55 was rationally designed and synthesized. KM55 was evaluated in enzyme activity assays with recombinant enzymes. Furthermore, activity of KM55 in human whole blood and endothelial cells was investigated. KM55 potently inhibited both enzymes in vitro and attenuated the formation of leukotrienes in human whole blood. KM55 was also tested in a cell function-based assay. The compound significantly inhibited the LPS-induced adhesion of leukocytes to endothelial cells by blocking leukocyte activation.
