Abstract
A series of indole-1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazole conjugates were synthesised by click chemistry. The haemolytic properties and cytoprotective activity of all the newly synthesised indole-triazole conjugates were tested in vitro. In addition, molecular docking was performed in silico for the selected conjugates to determine their antibacterial and antifungal properties. The results indicate that indole-triazole derivatives effectively protect human erythrocytes against free radical-induced haemolysis in a structure-dependent manner and that bis-indole-bis-triazole derivatives with alkyl linkers are excellent cytoprotective agents against oxidative haemolysis. The tested series of indole-1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazole conjugates may have an affinity for the active sites of specific protein domains (PDB IDs: 2Q85 and 5V5Z) according to molecular docking studies.

Abstract
New structurally diverse groups of C8-substituted caffeine derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their chemical and biological properties. Mass spectrometry, FT-IR, and NMR characterizations of these derivatives were performed. The cytotoxic activity of the derivatives was estimated in vitro using human red blood cells (RBC) and in silico pharmacokinetic studies. The antioxidant capacity of the compounds was analyzed using a ferrous ion chelating activity assay. The ability of the derivatives to protect RBC from oxidative damage, including the oxidation of hemoglobin to methemoglobin, was assessed using a water-soluble 2,2'-azobis(2-methyl-propionamidine) dihydrochloride (AAPH) as a standard inducer of peroxyl radicals. The level of intracellular oxidative stress was assessed using the fluorescent redox probe 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCF-DA). The results indicate that all derivatives are biocompatible compounds with significant antioxidant and cytoprotective potential dependent on their chemical structure. In order to explain the antioxidant and cytoprotective activity of the derivatives, a mechanism of hydrogen atom transfer (HAT), radical adduct formation (RAF), or single electron transfer (SET), as well as the specific interactions of the derivatives with the lipid bilayer of RBC membrane, have been proposed. The results show that selected modifications of the caffeine molecule enhance its antioxidant properties, which expands our knowledge of the structure-activity relationship of caffeine-based cytoprotective compounds.

Abstract
The new series of triazole-bearing gramine derivatives were synthesized through a CuAAC procedure. The structures of all newly obtained compounds were confirmed by spectroscopic analysis and DFT methods. The obtained derivatives were screened for their protective potency against oxidative haemolysis induced by free radicals generated from 2,2'-azobis(2-methylpropionamidine) dihydrochloride (AAPH). Our work demonstrates that derivatives with propyl or octyl linker and phthalimide group associated with indole-triazole moiety, which have a folded structure, effectively protect human erythrocytes against oxidative stress-induced haemolysis.

Abstract
The mass spectrometric fragmentations of ten new 8-alkylaminocaffeine derivatives were investigated. The fragmentation pathways of new polyamine derivatives of caffeine on the basis of low and high-resolution electron ionization (EI) mass spectra were discussed. In the case of new compounds, classical fragmentation of purine skeleton related to the elimination of a neutral molecule CH3N(1)C(2)O from a molecular ion was not observed. Nevertheless, new, interesting fragmentation of described caffeine derivatives was observed. Moreover, heats of formation of odd-electron ions of 8-alkylaminocaffeine derivatives were calculated.

Abstract
A series of new di- and polyamine-caffeine analogues were synthesised and characterised by NMR, FT-IR, and MS spectroscopic methods. To access the stability of the investigated caffeine analogues, molecular dynamic simulations were performed in NAMD 2.9 assuming CHARMM36 force field. To evaluate the antioxidant capacity of new compounds, three different antioxidant assays were used, namely 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl free radical (DPPH•) scavenging activity, ferrous ions (Fe2+) chelating activity, and Fe3+→Fe2+reducing ability. In vitro, the ability of new derivatives to protect human erythrocytes against oxidative haemolysis induced by free radical from 2,2'-azobis(2-methylpropionamidine) dihydrochloride (AAPH) was estimated. The cytotoxic activity was tested using MCF-7 breast cancer cells and human erythrocytes. All compounds showed the antioxidant capacity depending mostly on their ferrous ions chelating activity. In the presence of AAPH, some derivatives were able to effectively inhibit the oxidative haemolysis. Two derivatives, namely 8-(methyl(2-(methylamino)ethyl)-amino)caffeine and 8-(methyl(3-(methylamino)propyl)amino)caffeine, showed cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 breast cancer cells but not against human erythrocytes. Therefore, it is concluded that the selected di- and polyamine caffeine analogues, depending on their chemical structure, were able to minimise the oxidative stress and to inhibit the tumour cell growth. The confirmed antioxidant and cytotoxic properties of some caffeine derivatives make them attractive for potential applications in food or pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
To determine the binding interactions and ability to form the non-covalent systems, the association process between 5,10,15,20-tetrakis[4-(trimethylammonio)phenyl]-21H,23H-porphine tetra-p-tosylate (H2TTMePP) and a series of five structurally diverse thio-caffeine analogues has been studied in ethanol and ethanol-water solutions, analyzing its absorption and steady-state fluorescence spectra. The porphyrin fluorescence lifetimes in the systems studied were established as well. During the titration with thio-caffeine compounds the slight bathochromic effect and considerable hypochromicity of the porphyrin Soret band maximum can be noted. The fluorescence quenching effect observed for interactions in H2TTMePP - thio-caffeine derivative systems, as well as the order of binding and fluorescence quenching constants (of 105-103mol-1) suggest the existence of the mechanism of static quenching due to the formation of non-covalent and non-fluorescent stacking complexes. In all the systems studied the phenomenon of the fractional accessibility of the fluorophore for the quencher was observed as well. Additionally, the specific binding interactions, due to the changes in reaction environment polarity, can be observed. It was found that thio-caffeine compounds can quench the porphyrin fluorescence according to the structure of thio-substituent in caffeine molecule. The obtained results can be potentially useful from scientific, therapeutic or environmental points of view.
