RESUMEN
In this study, we report the antioxidant and antitoxic potential of chemically synthesized 4-oxo-2-phenyl-4H-chromene-7,8-diyl bis((1-amino-2-hydroxypropyl)carbamate) (DHF-BAHPC) compound using in vitro and in vivo assays. The DHF-BAHPC was synthesized by linking 7,8-Dihydroxyflavone (DHF) with two molecules of Fmoc-threonine and characterized by Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), 1H NMR, 13C NMR and Mass spectrometry (MS). In vitro, antioxidant assay results revealed that DHF-BAHPC has a dose-dependent radical scavenging potential towards DPPH, ABTS, FRAP and H2O2 radicals with an IC50 range of 15.45, 66.27, 25.71, 4.375 µg/mL, respectively. Furthermore DHF-BAHPC treatment significantly altered cadmium (Cd) intoxicated zebrafish embryos by rescuing the developmental changes associated with severe histological and reduced the level of defensive antioxidant activities (SOD, CAT, GPx and GST). The overall results of the present study represented that DHF-BAHPC may be used as a potential drug in redox-based therapeutics.

RESUMEN
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder caused due to loss of dopaminergic neurons in substantia nigra pars compacta, which occurs the presence of Lewy bodies made up of Alpha-synuclein (ASN) aggregation resulting in neuronal death. This study aims to identify potent 7,8-Dihydroxyflavone (DHF) derivatives to inhibit the ASN aggregation from in silico analysis. Molecular docking study reveals that carbamic ester derivatives of DHF [DHF-BAHPC (8q), DHF-BAHPEC (8s), DHF-BAHEC (8p), DHF-BDOPC (8c), DHF-BAPEC (8n) and DHF-BAMC (8h)] have good binding affinity towards ASN, when compared with DHF and L-DOPA; their docking score values are -16.3120, -16.1875, -15.2223, -14.3118, -14.2893, -14.2810, -14.0383, and -9.1560 kcal/mol respectively. The in silico pharmacological evaluation shows that these molecules exhibit the drug-likeness and ADMET properties. Molecular dynamics simulation confirms the stability of the molecules with ASN. The intermolecular interaction analyzed under the dynamic condition, allows to identify the candidate which potentially inhibits ASN aggregation. Hence, we propose that DHF derivatives are the potential lead drug molecules and preclinical studies are needed to confirm the promising therapeutic ability against PD.
