RESUMO
Aspirin is currently the most widely used drug worldwide, and has been clearly one of the most important pharmacological achievements of the twentieth century. Historians of medicine have traced its birth in 1897, but the fascinating history of aspirin actually dates back >3500â¯years, when willow bark was used as a painkiller and antipyretic by Sumerians and Egyptians, and then by great physicians from ancient Greece and Rome. The modern history of aspirin precursors, salicylates, began in 1763 with Reverend Stone - who first described their antipyretic effects - and continued in the 19th century with many researchers involved in their extraction and chemical synthesis. Bayer chemist Felix Hoffmann synthesized aspirin in 1897, and 70â¯years later the pharmacologist John Vane elucidated its mechanism of action in inhibiting prostaglandin production. Originally used as an antipyretic and anti-inflammatory drug, aspirin then became, for its antiplatelet properties, a milestone in preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The aspirin story continues today with the growing evidence of its chemopreventive effect against colorectal and other types of cancer, now awaiting the results of ongoing primary prevention trials in this setting. This concise review revisits the history of aspirin with a focus on its most remote origins.

Flavonoids are integral components of various vegetation and in foods; consequently, they represent an inevitable part of the diet. Historical and epidemiological proof recommend that diet plans consisting of flavonoids such as quercetin have positive health benefits, especially on the heart. Flavonoids have been proven to be active against hypertension, inflammation, diabetes and vascular diseases. Quercetin exhibits significant heart related benefits as inhibition of LDL oxidation, endothelium-independent vasodilator effects, reduction of adhesion molecules and other inflammatory markers, the protective effect on nitric oxide and endothelial function under conditions of oxidative stress, prevention of neuronal oxidative and inflammatory damage and platelet antiaggregant effects. Searching for experimental evidence to validate the cardioprotective effects of quercetin, we review here the recent detailed in vivo studies. Quercetin and its derivatives lead to an enhancement in heart features, indicating the prospective for quercetin to be used therapeutically in the treatment of cardiac diseases. Several evidence-based studies suggest mechanisms to observe cardiovascular diseases such as aging effects, hypertension, angiotensin-converting enzyme activity and endothelial-dependent and independent functions. Different animal models including human are also used to elucidate the in vivo role of quercetin in cardiovascular diseases. The role of quercetin and its derivatives may go beyond their existence in food and has potential as a lead molecule in drug development programs.

Small therapeutic peptides represent a promising field for the treatment of pathologies such as cardiac diseases. However, the lack of proper target-selective carriers hampers their translation towards a potential clinical application. Aptamers are cell-specific carriers that bind with high affinity to their specific target. However, some limitations on their conjugation to small peptides and the functionality of the resulting aptamer-peptide chimera exist. Here, we generated a novel aptamer-peptide chimera through conjugation of the PDGFRß-targeting Gint4.T aptamer to MP, a small mimetic peptide that via targeting of the Cavß2 subunit of the L-type calcium channel (LTCC) can recover myocardial function in pathological heart conditions associated with defective LTCC function. The conjugation reaction was performed by click chemistry in the presence of N,N,N',N',N"-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine as a Cu (I) stabilizing agent in a DMSO-free aqueous buffer. When administered to cardiac cells, the Gint4.T-MP aptamer-peptide chimera was successfully internalized in cells, allowing the functional targeting of MP to LTCC. This approach represents the first example of the use of an internalizing aptamer for selective delivery of a small therapeutic peptide to cardiac cells.

Apelin is an important mammalian peptide hormone with a range of physiological roles, especially in the cardiovascular system. The apelinergic system is a promising target for treatment of disease, but this remains to be realized due to rapid proteolysis of apelin-derived peptides by proteases, including neprilysin (NEP). The synthetic analogues modified within the NEP degradation site ("RPRL" motif) showed improved in vitro proteolytic stability while maintaining receptor-binding affinities, with three candidate peptides retaining full cardiovascular activities for potential therapeutic application. Many such analogues proved physiologically inactive even with relatively conservative modifications, highlighting the importance of this region for full agonist activity of this peptide hormone.

There has been a continued interest in translational research focused on both natural products and manipulation of functional groups on these compounds to create novel derivatives with higher desired activities. Oleanolic acid, a component of traditional Chinese medicine used in hepatitis therapy, was modified by chemical processes to form 2-cyano-3,12-dioxoolean-1,9-dien-28-oic acid (CDDO). This modification increased anti-inflammatory activity significantly and additional functional groups on the CDDO backbone have shown promise in treating conditions ranging from kidney disease to obesity to diabetes. CDDO's therapeutic effect is due to its upregulation of the master antioxidant transcription factor Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) through conformational change of Nrf2-repressing, Kelch-like erythroid cell-derived protein with CNC homology-associated protein 1 (Keap1) and multiple animal and human studies have verified subsequent activation of Nrf2-controlled antioxidant genes via upstream Antioxidant Response Element (ARE) regions. At the present time, positive results have been obtained in the laboratory and clinical trials with CDDO derivatives treating conditions such as lung injury, inflammation and chronic kidney disease. However, clinical trials for cancer and cardiovascular disease have not shown equally positive results and further exploration of CDDO and its derivatives is needed to put these shortcomings into context for the purpose of future therapeutic modalities.

The chemical structure of a drug determines its physicochemical properties, further determines its ADME/Tox properties, and ultimately affects its pharmacological activity. Medicinal chemists can regulate the pharmacological activity of drug molecules by modifying their structure. Ring systems and functional groups are important components of a drug. The proportion of non-hydrocarbon atoms among non-hydrogen atoms reflects the heavy atoms proportion of a drug. The three factors have considerable potential for the assessment of the drug-like properties of organic molecules. However, to the best of our knowledge, there have been no studies to systematically analyze the simultaneous effects of the number of aromatic and non-aromatic rings, the number of some special functional groups and the proportion of heavy atoms on the drug-like properties of an organic molecule. To this end, the numbers of aromatic and non-aromatic rings, the numbers of some special functional groups and the heavy atoms proportion of 6891 global approved small drugs have been comprehensively analyzed. We first uncovered three important structure-related criteria closely related to drug-likeness, namely: (1) the best numbers of aromatic and non-aromatic rings are 2 and 1, respectively; (2) the best functional groups of candidate drugs are usually -OH, -COOR and -COOH in turn, but not -CONHOH, -SH, -CHO and -SO3H. In addition, the -F functional group is beneficial to CNS drugs, and -NH2 functional group is beneficial to anti-infective drugs and anti-cancer drugs; (3) the best R value intervals of candidate drugs are in the range of 0.05-0.50 (preferably 0.10-0.35), and R value of the candidate CNS drugs should be as small as possible in this interval. We envision that the three chemical structure-related criteria may be applicable in a prospective manner for the identification of novel candidate drugs and will provide a theoretical foundation for designing new chemical entities with good drug-like properties.

A series of novel ligustrazinyloxy-cinnamic acid derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory effect on adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-induced platelet aggregation in vitro, and also assayed for their protective effect against hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2))-induced oxidative damage on ECV-304 cells. Some compounds exhibited high activity in one or both of the assays, of which, compound 2e displayed the highest protective effect on the proliferation of the damaged ECV-304 cells (EC(50) = 0.020 mM), and compound 2f was the most active anti-platelet aggregation agent (EC(50) = 0.054 mM). Structure-activity relationships were briefly discussed.

Molecular hybridization is a new concept in drug design and development based on the combination of pharmacophoric moieties of different bioactive substances to produce a new hybrid compound with improved affinity and efficacy, when compared to the parent drugs. Additionally, this strategy can result in compounds presenting modified selectivity profile, different and/or dual modes of action and reduced undesired side effects. So, in this paper, we described several examples of different strategies for drug design, discovery and pharmacomodulation focused on new innovative hybrid compounds presenting analgesic, anti-inflammatory, platelet anti-aggregating, anti-infectious, anticancer, cardio- and neuroactive properties.

The study investigates two cyclic dipeptides, cyclo(Tyr-Tyr) (cTT) and cyclo(Phe-Tyr) (cPT) with respect to their biological activity. Investigations using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique testing the effects of 100 microM cyclic dipeptide on ion channels, revealed reversible voltage-dependant blockade for cTT, while cPT exhibited irreversible time-dependant blockade of L-type calcium channels. The isolated retrogradely-perfused rat heart was used to determine the effects of 100 microM of either cTT or cPT on heart rate (HR), coronary flow rate (CFR), left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP) and cardiac conduction speed. Results indicated opposing effects for the two compounds, where cTT increased HR and CF while cPT decreased HR, CF, LVSP as well as conduction speed. Other biological investigations included opioid binding and anti-neoplastic assays. Competitive binding curves, using tritiated DAMGO, revealed significant binding to micro-opioid receptors with IC50 values for cTT and cPT being 0.82 microM and 69.7 microM respectively. Anti-neoplastic activity was tested using three cultured cell lines: HT-29, MCF-7 and HeLa which were exposed to 2.5 mM cyclic dipeptide or 0.1 mM melphalan as a positive control. While cTT showed little activity against these lines, cPT resulted in as much as a 75.6% growth inhibition of MCF-7 cells, while also being active against HeLa (73.4% inhibition) and HT-29 (60.6%). The results indicate potential biological activity, showing a need for more investigation into tyrosine containing cyclic dipeptides and their analogues as potential bioactive compounds.

On the basis of previous reports that the natural cofactor pyridoxal 5'-phosphate 1 appears to display cardioprotective properties, a series of novel mimetics of this cofactor were envisioned. As pyridoxal 5'-phosphate is a natural compound and is subject to biological degradation and elimination pathways, the objective was to generate active phosphonates that are potentially less light sensitive and more stable in vivo than the parent vitamer. Several phosphonates were designed and synthesized, and in particular, compounds 10 and 14 displayed similar biological traits to natural phosphate 1 in the rat model of regional myocardial ischemia and reperfusion. A reduction in infarct size was observed in animals treated with these compounds. In an effort to identify other relevant cardioprotective models in order to potentially define structure-activity relationships, these three compounds were tested in the rat working heart model. Compounds 1, 10, and 14 were compared to dichloroacetic acid (DCA) as positive control in this model. As with DCA, compounds 1, 10, and 14 were found to induce a shift from fatty acid oxidation toward glucose oxidation.

PURPOSE: To obtain new cardiovascular agents with mixed Ca2+-channel antagonistic and NO-donor properties, a series of "hybrid" 1,4-dihydropyridines (1,4-DHPs), bearing NO-donating furoxan moieties on the 3-positioned lateral ester chain were synthesized and pharmacologically characterized. Furazan analogues were also prepared and investigated for control purposes, because they are unable to release NO. METHODS: Synthesis of the models was achieved by a modified Hantzsch approach. All of the final furoxan 1,4-DHPs were assessed for their ability to produce nitrite in the presence of a large excess of cysteine by the Griess reaction. Vasodilating activity was evaluated on rat aorta and expressed as EC50 and EC50MB values, obtained in the absence and in the presence of methylene blue (MB) respectively, a well-known guanylate cyclase inhibitor. Affinities to 1,4-DHP receptor on Ca2+-channels, expressed as IC50 values, were determined through displacement experiments of [3H]-nitrendipine on rat cortex homogenates. RESULTS: Some hybrid compounds (derivatives 15a, 15b, 16a, and 16b) displayed vasodilating activity depending predominantly on their Ca2+-channel blocker properties. By contrast, some others (derivatives 17a, 17b, and 21) behaved as well-balanced hybrids with mixed Ca2+-channel blocking and NO-dependent vasodilating activities. CONCLUSION: This work demonstrates the possibility of obtaining well-balanced hybrids endowed with mixed NO-donor and Ca2+-channel blocker properties using appropriate 1,4-DHP and furoxan moieties. A procedure for the individual evaluation of the NO-dependent vasodilator component and that due to Ca2+-channel blocking is proposed.

The activity of a novel series of peptidomimetic hematoregulatory compounds, designed based on a pharmacophore model inferred from the structure activity relationships of a peptide SK&F 107647 (1), is reported. These compounds induce a hematopoietic synergistic factor (HSF) which in turn modulates host defense. The compounds may represent novel therapeutic agents in the area of hematoregulation.

A series of 7,6- and 7,5-fused bicyclic thiazepinones and oxazepinones were generated and incorporated as conformationally restricted dipeptide surrogates in mercaptoacyl dipeptides. These compounds are potent inhibitors of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and neutral endopeptidase (NEP) both in vitro and in vivo. Compound 1a, a 7,6-fused bicyclic thiazepinone, demonstrated excellent blood pressure lowering in a variety of animal models characterized by various levels of plasma renin activity and significantly potentiated urinary sodium, ANP, and cGMP excretion in a cynomolgus monkey assay. On the basis of its potency and duration of action, compound 1a (BMS-186716) was advanced into clinical development for the treatment of hypertension and congestive heart failure.

The (quinolizidin-1 alpha-yl)methanthiol (thiolupinine) was prepared and, utilizing the thiol group reactivity, several S-substituted derivatives were obtained among which was a group of 3-[(lupinylthio)methyl]indoles. Eight of the prepared compounds were subjected to a broad pharmacological screening that evidentiated for many of them good level of the following activities in vivo and in vitro: antiarrhythmic, local anesthetic, negative chronotropic on isolated atria, calcium antagonism on ileum and atria, inhibition of spontaneous contraction of isolated trachea, inhibition of guinea pig ileum contractions induced by angiotensin I and II, bradykinin and cholecystokinin, inhibition of platelet aggregation induced by PAF and ADP. Single compounds were remarkable for additional antagonistic activities: 4 against P1-purine receptor, 8 against substance P, 12 against methacholine and 13 strongly inhibited arachidonate induced platelet aggregation. Very peculiar was the ability of compound 6 to protect mice from PAF induced mortality.

The alkylation of adenosine-3',5'-cyclic phosphate (cAMP, 1) with alkyl bromides was investigated and various new alkylated cAMP derivatives, N6,N6,2'-O-trialkyl cAMPs (2), N6,2'-O-dialkyl cAMPs (3) and 2'-O-alkyl cAMPs (4), were prepared by a one step reaction without the introduction of a protecting group into 1. Compounds (2) were synthesized from 1 by treatment with alkyl bromides in the presence of NaH or potassium tert-butoxide in dimethyl sulfoxide. Compounds (3) were also synthesized from 1 under conditions similar to those of the synthesis of 2 except for the use of MeONa as a base. Compounds (4) were prepared from 1 by treatment with alkyl bromides in the presence of 18-crown-6 in dioxane-aqueous KOH solution. N6,2'-O-Dibenzyl cAMP (3e) was obtained from 1 by the same method as the preparation of 4. These new alkylated derivatives were evaluated for cardiotonic activity in vitro. Some of them showed weak positive inotropic effects and strong negative chronotropic effects. Thus, the presence of the 2'-hydroxyl group seemed to be essential for the appearance of potent positive inotropic activity caused by cAMP derivatives.

A series of new 2-(alkylthio)-5,7-disubstituted-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines have been prepared as inhibitors of cAMP phosphodiesterase from various tissues. These derivatives were prepared via ring closure of various requisite 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole intermediates. 2-(Benzylthio)-5-methyl-7-(dimethylamino)-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine (15a) is 6.3 times as potent as theophylline in inhibiting cAMP PDE isolated from rabbit heart. Treatment of dogs intravenously with 5 (mg/kg)/h of 15a gave a cardiac output increase of 69%, which was largely sustained for a 2-h period after administration of drug had ceased. There was no significant increase in heart rate upon administration of 15a. Related studies with 5,7-di-n-propyl-2-(benzylthio)-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine (22a) in five dogs showed a 31.5% increase in cardiac output with an increase in stroke volume of 34.4% with no increase in heart rate. The specificity of action of these PDE inhibitors could be due to selective binding at a certain cAMP PDE site in the cardiovascular system. Several of these compounds are candidates for further studies with a view to clinical evaluation.
