RESUMEN
Flavonoids, which contain a benzo-γ-pyrone (C6-C3-C6) skeleton, have been reported to exhibit effective antioxidant ability. This study aimed to compare the antioxidant activities of 7,8-dihydroxyflavone (7,8-DHF) and 7-hydroxyflavone (7-HF) in H2 O2 , lipopolysaccharide (LPS), or tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP)-induced RAW264.7 cells, respectively. The antioxidant capacities of 7,8-DHF and 7-HF were firstly evaluated by 2,2-azinobis-3-ethyl-benzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS), 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays. Then, reactive oxygen species (ROS), super oxide dismutase (SOD), and malondialdehyde (MDA) productions in H2 O2 , LPS, or t-BHP-induced RAW264.7 cells were tested and compared, respectively. Finally, the antioxidant mechanisms of 7-HF and 7,8-DHF were initially investigated by western blot. Our results showed that 7,8-DHF possessed stronger free-radical scavenging capacity than 7-HF. Both 7,8-DHF and 7-HF suppressed MDA production and ROS accumulation, improved the activity of SOD in H2 O2 , LPS, or t-BHP-induced RAW264.7 cells, respectively. And 7,8-DHF exerted a better antioxidant effect than 7-HF, especially in t-BHP-induced oxidative stress. Mechanically, 7,8-DHF prevented the activation of poly ADP-ribosepolymerase and caspase-3, meanwhile markedly upregulated the expression of HO-1 protein in t-BHP-induced oxidative stress. These results suggested that 7,8-DHF might serve as a potential pharmaceutical drug against oxidative stress injury.

Five psoralen derivatives were synthesized and the structures of them were characterized by 1 H-NMR, 13 C-NMR, and IR. The antioxidant properties of the compounds were tested by inhibiting the free radical-initiated DNA oxidation and scavenging the radical reaction. The results showed that the effective stoichiometric factors (n) of the compounds V and IV could reach 2.00 and 2.11 in the system of inhibiting the DNA oxidation reaction initiated by 2,2'-Azobis(2-methylpropionamidine) dihydrochloride (AAPH). In the inhibition of â OH-oxidation of the DNA system, compounds I~V showed antioxidant properties. The thiobarbituric acid absorbance (TBARS) percentages of compounds IV and V were 76.19 % and 78.84 %. Compounds I~V could also inhibit Cu2+ /GSH-oxidation of DNA, and all compounds exhibited good antioxidant properties except compound II (94.00 %). All the five compounds were able to trap diammonium 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) salt radical (ABTS+ â ), 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPHâ ) and 2,6-di-tert-butyl-alpha-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-oxo-2,5-cyclohexadien-p-tolylox radical (galvinoxylâ ). The ability of compounds I~V to scavenge those free radicals can be measured by the k values. The k values ranged from 0.07 to 0.82 in scavenging ABTS+ â , galvinoxyl, and DPPH radicals, respectively.
RESUMEN
A series of thioether pleuromutilin derivatives containing 1,2,4-triazole on the side chain of C14 were designed and synthesized. The in vitro antibacterial activities experiments of the synthesized derivatives showed that compounds 72 and 73 displayed superior in vitro antibacterial effect against MRSA minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC = 0.0625 µg/mL) than tiamulin (MIC = 0.5 µg/mL). The results of time-kill study and postantibiotic effect study indicated that compound 72 could inhibit the growth of MRSA quickly (-2.16 log10 CFU/mL) and showed certain postantibiotic effect (PAE) time (exposure to 2 × MIC and 4 × MIC for 2 h, the PAE was 1.30 and 1.35 h) against MRSA. Furthermore, the binding mode between compound 72 and 50S ribosome of MRSA was explored by molecular docking and five hydrogen bonds were formed between compound 72 and 50S ribosome.

Novel series of pleuromutilin analogs containing substituted 1,2,3-triazole moieties were designed, synthesised and assessed for their in vitro antibacterial activity against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Initially, the in vitro antibacterial activities of these derivatives against 4 strains of S. aureus (MRSA ATCC 43300, ATCC 29213, AD3, and 144) were tested by the broth dilution method. Most of the synthesised pleuromutilin analogs displayed potent activities. Among them, compounds 50, 62, and 64 (MIC = 0.5â¼1 µg/mL) showed the most effective antibacterial activity and their anti-MRSA activity were further studied by the time-killing kinetics approach. Binding mode investigations by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) with 50S ribosome revealed that the selected compounds all showed obvious affinity for 50S ribosome (KD = 2.32 × 10-8â¼5.10 × 10-5 M). Subsequently, the binding of compounds 50 and 64 to the 50S ribosome was further investigated by molecular modelling. Compound 50 had a superior docking mode with 50S ribosome, and the binding free energy of compound 50 was calculated to be -12.0 kcal/mol.

Fifteen 8-substituted-phenyl-6-ferrocenyl-4-methyl-2H-pyrano[3,2-g]quinolin-2-ones were synthesized via Povarov three-component reaction, in which the substituted aromatic aldehydes reacted with ferrocenylacetylene and 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin in the presence of Ce(OTf)3 as the catalyst. The obtained coumarin-fused quinolines were applied to quench 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) cationic radical (ABTS(+)) and 2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH) and to inhibit 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane hydrochloride) (AAPH)-induced oxidation of DNA. It was found that the ferrocenyl group attaching to pyrano[3,2-g]quinolin-2-one scaffold can trap radicals and inhibit DNA oxidation even in the absence of phenolic hydroxyl group. The inhibitory effects on radicals and DNA oxidation can be further enhanced by the electron-donating groups such as p-(N,N-dimethyl amino)phenyl, ferrocenyl, and furan-2-yl group at 8-position. Therefore, ferrocenyl-substituted pyrano[3,2-g]quinolin-2-one skeleton together with electron-donating groups became a novel structural style for antioxidants.

Two coumarin skeletons can form chromeno[3,4-c]chromene-6,7-dione by sharing with the C â C in lactone. The aim of the present work was to explore the antioxidant effectiveness of the coumarin-fused coumarin via six synthetic compounds containing hydroxyl and N,N-dimethylamino as the functional groups. The abilities to quench 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) cationic radical (ABTS(+â¢)), 2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH), and galvinoxyl radical revealed that the rate constant for scavenging radicals was related to the amount of hydroxyl group in the scaffold of coumarin-fused coumarin. But coumarin-fused coumarin was able to inhibit DNA oxidations caused by (â¢)OH, Cu(2+)/glutathione (GSH), and 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane hydrochloride) (AAPH) even in the absence of hydroxyl group. In particular, a hydroxyl and an N,N-dimethylamino group locating at different benzene rings increased the inhibitory effect of coumarin-fused coumarin on AAPH-induced oxidation of DNA about 3 times higher than a single hydroxyl group, whereas N,N-dimethylamino-substituted coumarin-fused coumarin possessed high activity toward (â¢)OH-induced oxidation of DNA without the hydroxyl group contained. Therefore, the hydroxyl group together with N,N-dimethylamino group may be a novel combination for the design of coumarin-fused heterocyclic antioxidants.

Twenty-two 2-phenyl-4-ferrocenylquinolines are synthesized by Povarov three-component-reaction (3CR) among the substituted anilines, benzaldehydes, and ferrocenylacetylene with Ce(OTf)3 being catalyst in the absence of solvents. The antioxidative effects of the obtained quinolines are estimated by quenching 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) cationic radical (ABTS(+·)), 2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), and galvinoxyl radicals, and by inhibiting Cu(2+)/glutathione (GSH)-, hydroxyl radical (·OH)-, and 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane hydrochloride) (AAPH)-induced oxidations of DNA. It is found that the ferrocenyl group instead of hydroxyl group generates the antioxidative effect for quinoline to quench radicals and to protect DNA against radical-induced oxidations. The antioxidative effect generated by ferrocenyl group can be further increased by the electron-donating moieties such as furan, -N(CH3)2, -OCH3, and ferrocenyl group, while the electron-withdrawing groups such as -NO2 and -Cl are not beneficial for quinolines to be antioxidants. The ferrocenyl group in quinoline exhibits higher antioxidant activity than hydroxyl group in Trolox.

Coumestan is a natural tetracycle with a CâC bond shared by a coumarin moiety and a benzofuran moiety. In addition to the function of the hydroxyl group on the antioxidant activity of coumestan, it is worth exploring the influence of the oxygen-abundant scaffold on the antioxidant activity as well. In this work, seven coumestans containing electron-withdrawing and electron-donating groups were synthesized to evaluate the abilities to trap 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) cationic radical (ABTS(â¢+)), 2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH), and galvinoxyl radical, respectively, and to inhibit the oxidations of DNA mediated by (â¢)OH, Cu(2+)/glutathione (GSH), and 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane hydrochloride) (AAPH), respectively. It was found that all of the coumestans used herein can quench the aforementioned radicals and can inhibit (â¢)OH-, Cu(2+)/GSH-, and AAPH-induced oxidations of DNA. In particular, substituent-free coumestan exhibits higher ability to quench DPPH and to inhibit AAPH-induced oxidation of DNA than Trolox. In addition, nonsubstituted coumestan shows a similar ability to inhibit (â¢)OH- and Cu(2+)/GSH-induced oxidations of DNA relative to that of Trolox. The antioxidant effectiveness of the coumestan can be attributed to the lactone in the coumarin moiety and, therefore, a hydroxyl group may not be a necessary functional group for coumestan to be an antioxidant.

A cascade operation was designed to synthesize nine coumarin-substituted dihydropyrazoles with only one or two phenolic hydroxyl groups contained. Antioxidant abilities of the obtained compounds were evaluated by inhibiting 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropanehydrochloride) (AAPH)-, Cu2+/glutathione (GSH)-, and .OH-induced oxidation of DNA. It was found that less phenolic hydroxyl groups can enhance the abilities of coumarin-substituted dihydropyrazoles to protect DNA against the oxidation. Moreover, these coumarin-substituted dihydropyrazoles were employed to scavenge 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) cationic radical (ABTS+.), 2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH), and galvinoxyl radical, respectively. It was found that double phenolic hydroxyl groups were more beneficial for enhancing the abilities of coumarin-substituted dihydropyrazoles to quench the aforementioned radicals. Therefore, dihydropyrazole linked with coumarin exhibited powerful antioxidant effectiveness even in the case of less phenolic hydroxyl groups involved.
