RESUMO

Arbidol hydrochloride is an antiviral product widely used in Russia and China for the treatment of, among other diseases, influenza. In recent years, it has turned out to be highly effective against COVID-19. However, there is little knowledge about its physicochemical properties and its behavior in the presence of various pharmaceutical excipients, which could be useful in the development of new preparations by increasing its solubility and bioavailability. For this reason, binary mixtures composed of arbidol hydrochloride and selected pharmaceutical excipients such as chitosan, polyvinylpyrrolione K-30 and magnesium stearate were prepared and subjected to differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry combined with Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (TGA-FTIR) and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR) analyses. In order to obtain clarity in the interpretation of the outcomes, chemometric calculations with factor analysis (FA) were used. Additionally, a powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and an intrinsic dissolution rate study were performed for arbidol hydrochloride itself and in the presence of excipients. As a result of the study, it was revealed that arbidol hydrochloride may undergo polymorphic transformations and be incompatible with chitosan and magnesium stearate. However, mixing arbidol hydrochloride with polyvinylpyrrolidone K-30 guarantees the obtaining of durable and safe pharmaceutical preparations.

RESUMO

Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disorder that is not satisfactorily treated with available antipsychotics. The presented study focuses on the search for new antipsychotics by optimising the compound D2AAK3, a multi-target ligand of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), in particular D2, 5-HT1A, and 5-HT2A receptors. Such receptor profile may be beneficial for the treatment of schizophrenia. Compounds 1-16 were designed, synthesised, and subjected to further evaluation. Their affinities for the above-mentioned receptors were assessed in radioligand binding assays and efficacy towards them in functional assays. Compounds 1 and 10, selected based on their receptor profile, were subjected to in vivo tests to evaluate their antipsychotic activity, and effect on memory and anxiety processes. Molecular modelling was performed to investigate the interactions of the studied compounds with D2, 5-HT1A, and 5-HT2A receptors on the molecular level. Finally, X-ray study was conducted for compound 1, which revealed its stable conformation in the solid state.

RESUMO

Serotonin receptors are involved in a number of physiological functions and regulate aggression, anxiety, appetite, cognition, learning, memory, mood, nausea, sleep, and thermoregulation. Here we report synthesis and detailed structural and behavioral studies of three indole derivatives: D2AAK5, D2AAK6, and D2AAK7 as serotonin 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptor ligands. X-ray studies revealed that the D2AAK5 compound crystallizes in centrosymmetric triclinic space group with one molecule in the asymmetric unit. The main interaction between the ligands and the receptors is the salt bridge between the protonatable nitrogen atom of the ligands and the conserved Asp (3.32) of the receptors. The complexes were stable in the molecular dynamic simulations. MD revealed that the studied ligands are relatively stable in their binding sites, with the exception of D2AAK7 in the serotonin 5-HT1A receptor. D2AAK7 exerts anxiolytic activity in the EPM test, while D2AAK5 has a beneficial effect on the memory processes in the PA test.

RESUMO

The dopamine D2 receptor, which belongs to the family of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR), is an important and well-validated drug target in the field of medicinal chemistry due to its wide distribution, particularly in the central nervous system, and involvement in the pathomechanism of many disorders thereof. Schizophrenia is one of the most frequent diseases associated with disorders in dopaminergic neurotransmission, and in which the D2 receptor is the main target for the drugs used. In this work, we aimed at discovering new selective D2 receptor antagonists with potential antipsychotic activity. Twenty-three compounds were synthesized, based on the scaffold represented by the D2AAK2 compound, which was discovered by our group. This compound is an interesting example of a D2 receptor ligand because of its non-classical binding to this target. Radioligand binding assays and SAR analysis indicated structural modifications of D2AAK2 that are possible to maintain its activity. These findings were further rationalized using molecular modeling. Three active derivatives were identified as D2 receptor antagonists in cAMP signaling assays, and the selected most active compound 17 was subjected to X-ray studies to investigate its stable conformation in the solid state. Finally, effects of 17 assessed in animal models confirmed its antipsychotic activity in vivo.

RESUMO

The blockade of kainate receptors, in particular with non-competitive antagonists, has-due to their anticonvulsant and neuroprotective properties-therapeutic potential in many central nervous system (CNS) diseases. Deciphering the structural properties of kainate receptor ligands is crucial to designing medicinal compounds that better fit the receptor binding pockets. In light of that fact, here, we report experimental and computational structural studies of four indole derivatives that are non-competitive antagonists of GluK1/GluK2 receptors. We used X-ray studies and Hirshfeld surface analysis to determine the structure of the compounds in the solid state and quantum chemical calculations to compute HOMO and LUMO orbitals and the electrostatic potential. Moreover, non-covalent interaction maps were also calculated. It is worth emphasizing that compounds 3 and 4 are achiral molecules crystallising in non-centrosymmetric space groups, which is a relatively rare phenomenon.

RESUMO

Schizophrenia is a mental disorder with a complex pathomechanism involving many neurotransmitter systems. Among the currently used antipsychotics, classical drugs acting as dopamine D2 receptor antagonists, and drugs of a newer generation, the so-called atypical antipsychotics, can be distinguished. The latter are characterized by a multi-target profile of action, affecting, apart from the D2 receptor, also serotonin receptors, in particular 5-HT2A and 5-HT1A. Such profile of action is considered superior in terms of both efficacy in treating symptoms and safety. In the search for new potential antipsychotics of such atypical receptor profile, an attempt was made to optimize the arylpiperazine based virtual hit, D2AAK3, which in previous studies displayed an affinity for D2, 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors, and showed antipsychotic activity in vivo. In this work, we present the design of D2AAK3 derivatives (1-17), their synthesis, and structural and pharmacological evaluation. The obtained compounds show affinities for the receptors of interest and their efficacy as antagonists/agonists towards them was confirmed in functional assays. For the selected compound 11, detailed structural studies were carried out using molecular modeling and X-ray methods. Additionally, ADMET parameters and in vivo antipsychotic activity, as well as influence on memory and anxiety processes were evaluated in mice, which indicated good therapeutic potential and safety profile of the studied compound.

RESUMO

New heterotrinuclear complexes with the general formula [Cu2Ln(H2L)(HL)(NO3)2]·MeOH (Ln = Ho (1), Er (2), H4L = N,N'-bis(2,3-dihydroxybenzylidene)-1,3-diaminopropane) were synthesized using compartmental Schiff base ligand in conjugation with auxiliary ligands. The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, TG, DSC, TG-FTIR and XRD analysis. The N2O4 salen-type ligand coordinates 3d and 4f metal centers via azomethine nitrogen and phenoxo oxygen atoms, respectively, to form heteropolynuclear complexes having CuO2Ln cores. In the crystals 1 and 2, two terminal Cu(II) ions are penta-coordinated with a distorted square-pyramidal geometry and a LnIII ion with trigonal dodecahedral geometry is coordinated by eight oxygen atoms from [CuII(H2L)(NO3)]- and [CuII(HL)(NO3)]2- units. Compounds 1 and 2 are stable at room temperature. During heating, they decompose in a similar way. In the first decomposition step, they lose solvent molecules. The exothermic decomposition of ligands is connected with emission large amounts of gaseous products e.g., water, nitric oxides, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide. The final solid products of decomposition 1 and 2 in air are mixtures of CuO and Ho2O3/Er2O3. The measurements of magnetic susceptibilities and field dependent magnetization indicate the ferromagnetic interaction between CuII and HoIII ions 1.

RESUMO

Schizophrenia is a complex disease with not fully understood pathomechanism, involving many neurotransmitters and their receptors. This is why it is best treated with multi-target drugs, such as second generation antipsychotics. Here we present 5-substituted-3-(1-arylmethyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridin-4-yl)-1H-indoles (1-20) which are ligands of dopamine D2 and serotonin 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors and display affinity in the nanomolar range. These compounds were designed as modifications of the virtual hit experimentally confirmed, D2AAK1, and synthesized from indole or 5-alkoxyindoles and N-substituted piperidin-4-ones in methanol in the presence of potassium hydroxide. Compound 9 was subjected to X-ray studies and it crystallizes in the centrosymmetric monoclinic space group P21/c with one molecule in an asymmetric unit. Three most potent compounds (5, 9 and 17) turned out to be antagonists of both D2 and 5-HT2A receptors what is beneficial for their potential application as antipsychotics. Compound 5 was subjected to behavioral studies and exhibited antipsychotic, pro-cognitive and antidepressant activity in appropriate mice models. Structure-activity relationships for compounds 1-20 were rationalized using molecular docking. It was found that, in general, bulky C5-alkoxy substituents at the indole moiety are not favorable as they direct towards aqueous environment of the extracellular vestibule. Keywords: antipsychotics; behavioral studies, G protein-coupled receptors; indole derivatives; multi-target compounds; schizophrenia.

RESUMO

N,N'-bis-(α-methylsalicylidene)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediimine (SBTD) modified silica gel was prepared and used as sorbent for solid phase extraction of Cr(III) ions from aqueous solution. This sorbent showed a high sorption affinity for Cr(III) while recovery of Cr(VI) was very low. The analyte ion retained on the column was eluted with 1 mol L(-1) HNO(3). The chromium ion in the eluent was determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry. The effects of different parameters such as pH, eluent type and volume, Schiff's base concentration, sample and eluent flow rate, interfering ions and adsorbent amount were investigated.
