Serum albumin binding analysis and toxicological screening of novel chroman-2,4-diones as oral anticoagulants. Chem Biol Interact 2015; 227:18-31.

Abstract
Two chroman-2,4-dione derivatives, namely 2a and 2f, were tested as in vivo anticoagulants by seven days of continuous per os application to adult male Wistar rats in a concentration of 20 mg/kg of body weight. Derivatives were selected from a group of six previously intraperitoneally applied compounds on the basis of presenting remarkable activity in a concentration of 2 mg/kg of body weight. The derivatives 2a and 2f are VKORC1 inhibitors, and comparison of the absorption spectra, association, and dissociation constants suggested that the compounds will be bound to serum albumin in the same manner as warfarin is, leading to transfer towards the molecular target VKORC1. After oral administration, the compounds proved to be anticoagulants comparable with warfarin, inasmuch as the measured prothrombin times for 2a and 2f were 56.63 and 60.08 s, respectively. The INR values of 2a and 2f ranged from 2.6 to 2.8, recommending them as useful therapeutics in the treatment of patients suffering from thromboembolic events and atrial fibrillation. The high percentage of binding and high binding affinity of 2a and 2f towards serum albumin reduced the risk of induced internal bleeding. Several kinds of toxicity studies were performed to investigate whether or not 2a and 2f can cause pathological changes in the liver, kidneys, and DNA. The catalytic activity of serum enzymes, concentration and catalytic activity of liver and kidney oxidative stress markers and enzymes, respectively, as well as the observed hepatic and renal morphological changes indicated that the compounds in relation to warfarin induced irrelevant hepatic toxicity, no increment of necrosis, and inconsiderable oxidative damage in the liver and kidneys. Estimation of DNA damage using the comet assay confirmed that 2a and 2f caused no clinically significant genotoxicity. The higher activity and lower toxicity of 2f recommended this compound as a better drug candidate than 2a.

Abstract
Eight synthesized 3-(1-aminoethylidene)chroman-2,4-diones and 4-hydroxy-3-(1-iminoethyl)-2H-chromen-2-ones were evaluated as in vivo anticoagulants by intraperitoneal application to adult male Wistar rats in order to examine their pharmacological potential, evaluate ther toxicity and propose the mechanism of action. Two of them, 2f and 2a, in concentration of 2mg/kg of body weight, presented remarkable activity (PT=130s; PT=90s) upon seven days of continuous application. The results of rat serum and liver biochemical screening, as well those of histopathological studies, proved the compounds to be non-toxic. Activity of the compounds was further examined on the molecular level. Here, molecular docking studies were performed to position the compounds in relation to the active site of VKORC1 and determine the bioactive conformations. Docking results suggested a non-covalent mode of action during which the proton transfer occurs from Cys135 SH towards 4-carbonyl group of anticoagulant. All crucial interactions for anticoagulant activity were confirmed in generated structure-based 3-D pharmacophore model, consisted of hydrogen bond acceptor and hydrophobic aromatic features, and quantified by a best correlation coefficient of 0.97.

Biochemical and pharmacological evaluation of 4-hydroxychromen-2-ones bearing polar C-3 substituents as anticoagulants. Eur J Med Chem 2012; 54:144-58.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate in vitro and in vivo anticoagulant activity of sixteen 4-hydroxycoumarin derivatives bearing polar C-3 scaffolds. The activity was evaluated by measuring prothrombin time. Enhanced anticoagulant activity in vitro was observed for all tested compounds. Upon successive administration of 0.5 mg/kg of body weight to adult Wistar rats, over a period of five days, four derivatives (2b, 4c, 5c and 9c) presented anticoagulant activity in vivo. The most active compound was 2b, with PT = 30.0 s. Low or non-toxic effects in vivo were determined based on the catalytic activity of liver enzymes and the concentration of bilirubin, iron and proteins. Metabolic pathways of the most active compounds in vivo were determined after GC/MS analysis of collected rat urine samples. The excretion occurs by glucuronidation of 7-hydroxy forms of tested derivatives. In vivo results were described using PLS-based CoMFA and CoMSIA 3D-QSAR studies, which showed CoMFA-SE (q(2) = 0.738) and CoMSIA-SEA (q(2) = 0.763) to be the statistically most relevant models. Furthermore, molecular docking and DFT mechanistic studies performed on the rat VKORC1 homology model revealed interactions between the 4-OH coumarin group in the form of phenolic anion and the Cys135 catalytic site in the transition state.

Abstract
This paper presents the design of novel 4-hydroxy-chromene-2 one derivatives, based on previously obtained minimal inhibitory concentration values (MICs), against twenty four microorganism cultures, gram positive and negative bacteria and fungi. Two of our compounds, 3b (MIC range 130-500 microg/mL) and 9c (31.25-62.5 microg/mL), presented high potential antimicrobial activity. The compound 9c had equal activity to the standard ketoconazole (31.25 microg/mL) against M. mucedo. Enlarged resistance of S. aureus, E. coli and C. albicans on the effect of potential drugs and known toxicity of coumarin antibiotics, motivated us to establish SAR and QSAR models of activity against these cultures and correlate biological activity, molecular descriptors and partial charges of functional groups to explain activity and use for the design of new compounds. The QSAR study presents essential relation of antimicrobial activity and dominant substituents, 4-hydroxy, 3-acetyl and thiazole functional groups, also confirmed through molecular docking. The result was ten new designed compounds with much improved predicted inhibition constants and average biological activity.

Abstract
Several novel 4-hydroxy-chromene-2-one derivatives 2b-16b were easily prepared through condensation reactions with microwave heating and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, (1)H-NMR and mass spectrometry. Geometry optimization of these compounds was executed by PM3, PM5 and Minimize Energy methods to describe them via molecular descriptors. The antimicrobial activity of the synthesized compounds was evaluated against different microbial strains using two different methods: the diffusion method and the micro-dilution method. All data indicated that the products possess antimicrobial activity which depends on the nature of substituent attached to the benzopyran moiety. In general, after 24 h the MIC values of most tested coumarins was 0.13 mg/mL, but compounds 1 and 6b displayed the strongest antimicrobial activity on the tested cultures of bacteria after 48 h. Compound 13b has the strongest growth inhibitory potential on fungus C. albicans, tested by diffusion method,with an inhibition zone of 30-37 mm at a concentration of 150 microg/mL. The conclusion of this experiment is that the synthesized compounds have varied and different influence on different classes of bacteria and the fungus C. albicans.

Abstract
The antimicrobial properties of acetone, methanol, and aqueous extracts of the lichens Lasallia pustulata, Parmelia sulcata, Umbilicaria crustulosa, and Umbilicaria cylindrica were studied comparatively in vitro. Antimicrobial activities of the extracts of different lichens were estimated by the disk diffusion test for Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, and fungal organisms, as well as by determining the MIC (minimal inhibitory concentration). The obtained results showed that the acetone and methanol extracts of Lasallia pustulata, Parmelia sulcata, and Umbilicaria crustulosa manifest antibacterial activity against the majority of species of bacteria tested, in addition to selective antifungal activity. The MIC of lichen extracts was lowest (0.78 mg/ml) for the acetone extract of Lasallia pustulata against Bacillus mycoides. Aqueous extracts of all of the tested lichens were inactive. Extracts of the lichen Umbilicaria cylindrica manifested the weakest activity, inhibiting only three of the tested organisms.
