RESUMO
Synthesis of novel unnatural amino acids (UAAs) from 4-oxo-4-phenylbut-2-enoic acid derivatives with intramolecular aza-Michael addition reaction in the presence of chlorosulfonyl isocyanate (CSI) was reported in soft conditions without any metal catalyst. Acids and base as a catalyst, and solvents effects were investigated for the synthesis of novel UAAs. This novel method provides inexpensive, practicable, and efficient approach to generate UAAs. The use of UAAs has attracted great interest in the development of therapeutic agents and drug discovery to improve their properties. In this context, in addition to the synthesis of new UAAs, their inhibition effects on important metabolic enzymes of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and carbonic anhydrases I and II (hCA I and II) enzymes were investigated. The compound 2g showed the best inhibition for CA I and AChE enzymes, while compound 2i exhibited the best inhibition profile against CA II isoenzyme. The inhibition values of these compounds were found as 1.85 ± 0.64 for AChE, 0.53 ± 0.07 for hCA I, 0.44 ± 0.15 µM for hCA II, respectively, and they showed a stronger inhibitory property than acetazolamide (standard inhibitor for hCA I and II) and tacrine (standard inhibitor for AChE) molecules. The activity of the studied molecule against different proteins that are hCA I (PDB ID: 2CAB), hCA II (PDB ID: 5AML), and AChE (PDB ID: 1OCE) was examined. Finally, the drug properties of the studied molecule were examined by performing absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity analysis.

OBJECTIVES: Five solvent extracts (n-hexane, ethyl acetate, ethanol, ethanol/water (70%), and water) of Gladiolus italicus Mill. from Turkey were evaluated for chemical and biological properties. METHODS: Antioxidant activities, inhibitory properties against key enzymes involved in the etiology of chronic diseases were tested, as well as cytotoxic effects on different cell lines. Chemical characterization was also carried out to determine the most abundant compounds of each extract. RESULTS: The highest total phenolic content (TPC) was observed in the water extract while highest TFC in ethanol/water extract. The most abundant compounds in the extracts were hyperoside (69041.06 mg kg-1), isoquercitrin (46239.49 mg kg-1), delphindin-3,5-diglucoside (42043.81 mg kg-1), myricetin (21486.61 mg kg-1), and kaempferol-3-glucoside (21199.76 mg kg-1). Molecular dynamic (MD) simulations confirmed the structural stability and dynamic conformational integrity of these complexes over a period of 100 ns. In network pharmacology, A total of 657 unique target genes were screened: 52 associated with programmed cell death-1 (PD-1), 85 with vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR2), and 130 with fibroblast growth factor receptor-2 (FGFR2), identifying crucial gene interactions for these proteins. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses were conducted, revealing significant interactions and pathways such as the advanced glycation end products (AGE) and their receptors (RAGE) signaling pathway in diabetic complications and T- helper 17 (Th17) cell differentiation, among others. This elucidation of complex networks involving key genes like AKT Serine/Threonine Kinase 1 (AKT1), MYC proto-oncogene (MYC), tumor protein 53 (TP53), Interleukin 6 (IL6), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) provides a promising foundation for the development of targeted therapies in the treatment of non-communicable diseases. CONCLUSION: These results show that G. italicus could be a natural source of potent antioxidants and enzyme inhibitors which need to be further explored for the development of biopharmaceuticals.
RESUMO
Lactoperoxidase enzyme (LPO) is secreted from salivary, mammary, and other mucosal glands including the bronchi, lungs, and nose, which had functions as a natural and the first line of defense towards viruses and bacteria. In this study, methyl benzoates were examined in LPO enzyme activity. Methyl benzoates are used as precursors in the synthesis of aminobenzohydrazides used as LPO inhibitors. For this purpose, LPO was purified in a single step using sepharose-4B-l-tyrosine-sulfanilamide affinity gel chromatography with a yield of 9.91 % from cow milk. Also, some inhibition parameters including the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50 ) value and an inhibition constant (Ki ) values of methyl benzoates were determined. These compounds inhibited LPO with Ki values ranging from 0.033±0.004 to 1540.011±460.020â µM. Compound 1 a (methyl 2-amino-3-bromobenzoate) showed the best inhibition (Ki =0.033±0.004â µM). The most potent inhibitor (1 a) showed with a docking score of -3.36â kcal/mol and an MM-GBSA value of -25.05â kcal/mol, of these methyl benzoate derivatives (1 a-16 a) series are established H-bond within the binding cavity with residues Asp108 (distance of 1.79â Å), Ala114 (distance of 2.64â Å), and His351 (distance of 2.12â Å).

Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is an oxidoreductase enzyme and oxidizes various inorganic and organic compounds. It has wide application areas such as immunological tests, probe-based test techniques, removal of phenolic pollutants from wastewater and organic synthesis. HRP is found in the root of the horseradish plant as a mixture of different isoenzymes, and it is very difficult to separate these enzymes from each other. In this regard, recombinant production is a very advantageous method in terms of producing the desired isoenzyme. This study was performed to produce HRP A2A isoenzyme extracellularly in Pichia pastoris and to purify this enzyme in a single step using a 3-amino-4-chloro benzohydrazide affinity column. First, codon-optimized HRP A2A gene was amplified and inserted into pPICZαC. So, obtained pPICZαC-HRPA2A was cloned in E. coli cells. Then, P. pastoris X-33 cells were transformed with linearized recombinant DNA and a yeast clone was cultivated for extracellular recombinant HRP A2A (rHRP A2A) enzyme production. Then, the purification of this enzyme was performed in a single step by affinity chromatography. The molecular mass of purified rHRP A2A enzyme was found to be about 40 kDa. According to characterization studies of the purified enzyme, the optimum pH and ionic strength for the rHRP A2A isoenzyme were determined to be 6.0 and 0.04 M, respectively, and o-dianisidine had the highest specificity with the lowest Km and Vmax values. Thus, this is an economical procedure to purify HRP A2A isoenzyme without time-consuming and laborious isolation from an isoenzyme mixture.

We have developed efficient procedure for isolation of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) using aminobenzohydrazide-based affinity chromatography. Sepharose 4B-bounded aminobenzohydrazides are suitable for long-term use and large-scale purification. In this study, 26 aminobenzohydrazide derivatives were synthesized, characterized and defined as new HRP inhibitors. In addition, detailed inhibition effects of these molecules on HRP enzyme were investigated. Affinity matrix was formed by bonding aminobenzohydrazides, which exhibited inhibitory activity to sepharose-4B-l-tyrosine. HRP was isolated from crude homogenate in single step and purification factors were recorded as 1,151-fold (recovery of 8.5%) with 4-amino 3-bromo benzohydrazide and as 166.16-fold (recovery of 16.67 %) with 3-amino 4-chloro benzohydrazide.
