Background: Unsymmetrical thioureas 1-20 were synthesized and then characterized by various spectroscopy techniques such as UV, IR, fast atom bombardment (FAB)-MS, high-resolution FAB-MS, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR. Methods: Synthetic compounds 1-20 were tested for their ability for antioxidant, lipoxygenase and xanthine oxidase activities. Results: Compounds 1, 2, 9, 12 and 15 exhibited strong antioxidant potential, whereas compounds 1-3, 9, 12, 15 and 19 showed good to moderate lipoxygenase activity. Ten compounds demonstrated moderate xanthine oxidase inhibition. Conclusion: Compound 15 displayed the highest potency among the series, exhibiting good antioxidant, lipoxygenase and xanthine oxidase activities. Theoretical calculations using density functional theory and molecular docking studies supported the experimental findings, indicating the potential of the synthesized compounds as potent antioxidants, lipoxygenases and xanthine oxidase agents.

Identification of potential drug candidates to treat gastritis and associated oxidative stress based on some novel 2-aryl-1H-naphtho[2,3-d]imidazole: synthesis, in vitro and in silico analysis.

To identify potential scaffolds to treat gastritis and oxidative stress, 2-aryl-1H-naphtho[2,3-d]imidazole derivatives (1-15) were synthesized. The synthesis was conveniently carried out by condensing 2,3-diaminonaphthalene with variously substituted aldehydes to yield 15 new 2-aryl-1H-naphtho[2,3-d]imidazole derivatives. Structures of all synthesized compounds were elucidated using MS and NMR spectroscopic techniques. Compounds containing an imidazole moiety have continued to spark interest in the field of medicinal chemistry due to their unique properties. In continuation of this statement, to further explore the biological potential of these types of compounds, newly synthesized imidazole derivatives were evaluated for their inhibitory potential against urease and antioxidant activities. Compounds 4 and 11 were identified as the most potent urease inhibitors in the series, with IC50 values of 34.2 ± 0.72 and 42.43 ± 0.65 µM, respectively. Compounds 1, 3, 6, 11, and 15, with EC50 values in the range of 37-75 µg ml-1, showed significant antioxidant activity. Molecular docking studies of the selected synthesized compounds 3, 4, 9, and 11 were also performed to determine their binding interaction with the jack bean urease. Through docking studies, it was revealed that all the compounds that showed good inhibitory potential against urease fit well within the protein's binding pocket. Furthermore, ADME analysis was carried out to explore the drug-likeness properties of the compounds. The findings of the present work revealed that compounds 4 and 11 could be better options to treat gastritis and associated oxidative stress.

Decreased muscle strength in adjuvant-induced rheumatoid arthritis animal model: A relationship to behavioural assessments.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disorder with unknown aetiology. Patients suffering from RA face persistent pain due to joint inflammation, and tissue destruction. Behavioural phenotyping is an approach to target the role of different behavioural traits associated with disease progression. The study aimed to assess behavioural patterns associated with decreased muscle strength in the adjuvant-induced rheumatoid arthritis animal model. The study was conducted on male Albino Wister rats (n = 30) [Control, Vehicle, and Disease groups]. After taking ethical approvals RA was induced by complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) intradermally base of tail. The weight of animals, macroscopic analysis of inflammatory signs, and arthritic scores were measured weekly. Grip strength, ganglia-based movement, cataleptic activity, and motor-coordination-related behaviours were assessed among the groups. Radiographs and spleen index assay were performed followed by data analysis using one-way and two-way ANOVA (Analysis of Variance). A significant decrease in weight and an increase in arthritic scores among the diseased group was observed. Behavioural analyses confirmed that diseased animals had significantly decreased grip strength and increased cataleptic activity with less motor coordination. Radiographic images and spleen index assay confirmed the pattern of RA. Therefore, it can be suggested that the development of the disease animal model is an effective approach to identifying the disease progression and associated behavioural changes. Moreover, this prepared laboratory animal model may be utilised for pathway analyses to understand the key role of immune regulators and genetic insight into molecular pathways associated with acute and chronic phases of RA.

Partial syntheses of aromatic amides: their anti-urease potential and docking studies.

The aromatic amide: N-p-trans-coumaroyltyramine (1) was isolated for the first time from the stem bark of Celtis zenkeri (Ulmaceae). Its four new derivatives (1a-d) and previously reported diacetylated product (1e) have been synthesized and characterized spectroscopically followed by their in vitro screening for anti-urease potential. The diacetylated product (1e) was found to be the most potent inhibitor with an IC50 value of 19.5 ± 0.23 µM compared to thiourea used as standard (21.5 ± 0.47 µM). Furthermore, molecular docking studies were conducted revealing striking interactions of the active compounds with catalytically important residues such as His593, Ala636 and Asp633. Subsequently, the prime MM-GBSA calculations provided the ligand binding and strain energies. The molecular dynamic simulations validated the docked and post-docked complexes where compounds 1b, 1c, 1d and 1e remained stable throughout the simulation. This study provides insight into the N-p-trans-coumaroyltyramine derivatives (1b-e) that can block the substrate entry, thereby inhibiting the urease's catalytic activity. Hence, these hit compounds can proceed for further pre-clinical studies for drug discovery against urease.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Synthesis, Characterization, DPPH Radical Scavenging, Urease Enzyme Inhibition, Molecular Docking Simulation, and DFT Analysis of Imine Derivatives of 4-formylpyridine with Selective Detection of Cu+2 Ions.

This study aimed to prepare three imine derivatives (1, 2, and 3) via a condensation reaction of phenyl hydrazine, 2-hydrazino pyridine, and 4-methoxy aniline with 4-formyl pyridine. Electron impact mass spectrometry (EIMS), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy were utilized for the characterization. The chemosensing properties of [4((2-phenyl hydrazono)methyl) pyridine] (1), [2-(2-(pyridin-4-ylmethylene)hydrazinyl) pyridine] (2), and [4-methoxy-N-yl methylene) aniline] (3) imino bases have been explored for the first time in aqueous media. The photophysical properties of chemosensors (1, 2, and 3) were examined by various cations (Na+, NH4+, Ba+2, Ni+2, Ca+2, Hg+2, Cu+2, Mg+2, Mn+2, and Pd+2). The chemosensor (1) showed very selective binding capability with copper ions at low concentrations (20 µM) without the influence of any other mentioned ions. The maximum complexation was noted with Cu+2 and 1 at pH between 7 to 7.5. The stoichiometry binding ratio between chemosensor (1) and Cu+2 was determined by Job's plot and it was found to be 1:2. The current study explored the use of these Schiff bases for the first time as heterocyclic chemosensors. DPPH radical scavenging, urease enzyme inhibition activities, molecular docking simulation, and density functional theory (DFT) analysis of compounds 1, 2, and 3 were also conducted.

Preussiate, a new urease inhibitory chalcone from Dioscorea preussii Pax.

The phytochemical investigation of the aqueous methanolic extract of the aerial parts of Dioscorea preussii, led to the isolation of a new chalcone preussiate (1) along with 10 other compounds including xanthomicrol (2), cholestan-3-one (3), arjunolic acid (4), tormentic acid (5), ursolic acid (6), betulin (7), lupeol (8), p-hydroxybenzoic acid (9), isovanillin (10) and vanillic acid (11), being reported for the first time from this plant. Their structures were established by spectroscopic techniques including 2D NMR spectroscopy. All the isolates were subjected to the biological screening but only showed antioxidant and urease inhibitory properties. The compounds 1,8 and 11 displayed the most potent urease inhibitory properties with IC50 values, 22.4, 33.3 and 35.7 µM, respectively, while 3 was moderately active. The compound 11 showed potent antioxidant activity among all the tested isolates with an IC50 value of 45.3 µM.

Photophysical and biological aspects of α, ß-unsaturated ketones: Experimental and in silico approach.

In this work, four fluorinated α, ß-unsaturated ketones named as 3-(3-bromophenyl)-1-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (1), 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl) prop-2-en-1-one (2), 3-(3-bromo-5-chloro-2-hydroxyphenyl)-1-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl) prop-2-en-1-one (3) and 3-(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)-1-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (4) were synthesized by Claisen-Schmidt reaction. The synthesized molecules were then characterized through ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), 1 H-NMR, 13 C-NMR, and mass spectrometry. The antioxidant potential, Urease inhibition, and interaction of compounds 1-4 with Salmon sperm DNA were experimentally explored and supported by molecular docking studies. The synthesized compounds strongly interact with SS-DNA through intercalative mode. It was noticed that compound 1 served as potent Urease inhibitor while compound 4 as better antioxidant among synthesized compounds. Moreover, frontier molecular orbitals, nonlinear optical (NLO) properties, natural bond orbitals, molecular electrostatic potential, natural population analysis, and photophysical properties of synthesized compounds were accomplished through density functional theory and time-dependent density functional theory. The band gap of all the compounds have been worked out using Taucs method. In addition to that, a precise comparative account of UV and IR data obtained from theoretical and experimental findings showed good agreement between theoretical and experimental data. The findings of our studies reflected that compounds 1-4 possess better NLO properties than Urea standard and the band gap data also reflected their prospective use towards optoelectronic materials. The better NLO behavior of compounds was attributed to the noncentrosymmetric structure of synthesized compounds.

Compounds 7 and 9 showed significant antibacterial activity against Salmonella typhi (ZOIs of 13 and 15 mm, respectively), while the best urease inhibition was measured for compound 9 with an IC50 value of 18.6 µM, which is higher than that of the potent inhibitor, thiourea (IC50 = 21.5 µM).

Cholinesterase activity as a potential biomarker for neurotoxicity induced by pesticides in vivo exposed Oreochromis niloticus (Nile tilapia): assessment tool for organophosphates and synthetic pyrethroids.

Organophosphates (OPs) and synthetic pyrethroids (SPs) are the most popular broad spectrum pesticides, used in agriculture as they have a strong pesticidal activity while also being biodegradable in the environment. The present study aimed to demonstrate the effects of these pesticides on the Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity in brain, gills and body muscles of Oreochromis niloticus - an important enzyme for the assessment and biomonitoring pollution caused by neurotoxins in the environment. The fish were exposed for 24 and 48 h to the LC0 concentrations of the malathion (1.425 mg/L), the chlorpyrifos (0.125 mg/L) and the λ-cyhalothrin (0.0039 mg/L), respectively. The activity of the AChE was significantly increased (p < 0.05) at 24 h and decreased at 48 h (except for the chlorpyrifos-treated brain and gills while tissues had shown no activity at 48 h's exposure) in all pesticides-treated tissues. The maximum increase in the activity and inhibition in the AChE activity were recorded as +92% and -52% in the chlorpyrifos and the lambda-cyhalothrin exposed brain tissues, respectively. Thus, the alterations in the AChE activities indicated that the applied pesticides are highly neurotoxic to fish and the enzyme (AChE) could be used as a useful biomarker for estimation of water pollution.

1,3,5-Thiadiazinane thione derivatives as significant urease inhibitors.

We report the promising urease inhibitory activity of four sets of tetrahydro thiadiazine thiones (THTT) namely 3,5-disubstituted tetrahydro-2H-1,3,5-thiadiazine thiones: THTT 5-8 (set A) having alkyl/aryl substituents at N-3 and N-5 positions; THTT 9-12 (set B) and THTT 13-14 (set C) with 3-carboxylic acid derivatives and tetrahydro-2H-1,3,5-thiadiazine-6-thione esters 15-16 (set D). Gratifyingly, all four sets of THTT were recognized as promising inhibitors of urease enzyme. Among 12 tested compounds; THTT 6, 8, 10, 14 and 15 from each set respectively, demonstrated significant urease inhibitory activity with IC50 values between 11.2-29.8µM which is mostly found higher than that for thiourea, a standard urease inhibitor with IC50 value of 22.4µM. Furthermore, compound 7 showed almost the same level of inhibition (IC50 = 22.5µM) as of standard. In addition, molecular docking study supported the phenomenon that thiadiazinane ring itself is an active pharmacophore that binds through CH2 groups and S atom via carbon-hydrogen/π-sulfur interactions respectively to the active site of the urease enzyme. The optimistic results from this study suggest the use of thiadiazinane skeleton as a guided template for the advancement of new urease inhibitors in drug discovery.

Multi-activity tetracoordinated pallado-oxadiazole thiones as anti-inflammatory, anti-Alzheimer, and anti-microbial agents: Structure, stability and bioactivity comparison with pallado-hydrazides.

Herein, we report a comparative study based on structure, thermal and solution stability, and biopotency against lipoxygenase (LOX), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) and microbes for Pd(II) compounds of N,O,S bearing 5-(C5H4XR)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiones (L') of type [PdL'Cl2] (P'n) and N,O bearing respective hydrazides (L) of type trans-[PdL2Cl2] (Pn) {X = C, R = 4-I, 2-Br, 4-NO2, 3-NO2, 2-Cl, 3-Cl (n = 1-6, serially); X = N (n = 7)}. Spectral techniques (IR, EI-MS, NMR) and physicochemical evaluations successfully characterized the new compounds. The L' behaved as bidentate S-N donors bonded through exocyclic sulfur and N-3' nitrogen, while L acted as amino N donors. UV-vis (solution speciation) and thermal degradation profiles consistently confirmed the greater stability for P'n than Pn compounds. These compounds manifested varying degree in vitro potential to inhibit LOX, BChE and several bacteria and fungi, affected mainly by Pd(II) presence, M-L binding mode, nature and position of R, or halo groups electronegativity. Molecular docking with human 5-LOX and BChE further validated the respective experimental inhibition findings and explored several putative mechanistic interactions (H-bonding, π-stacking, π-alkyl, π-S, etc.) at the enzyme active sites. Pn generally offered superior antimicrobial and anti-LOX (anti-inflammatory) potential than respective P'n compounds, with P3/P'5, P(2,3,7)/P'3, and P6 being comparable, better and equivalent to ampicillin, nystatin and baicalein, the reference antibacterial, antifungal and anti-LOX drugs, respectively. Contrarily, the anti-BChE activity of P'n was found better than Pn compounds, showing P'2/P1 as the most promising anti-Alzheimer drug candidates. This study bares important structural and mechanistic aspects in optimizing antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and anti-Alzheimer activities, highlighting some potential future pallado-drug candidates.

Compound 1 also showed good antimicrobial activity against some Gram positive and negative bacteria.

N-Aryl-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline Carbothioamide Analogues as Potential Urease Inhibitors.

N-Aryl-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline carbothioamide analogues 1-22 were synthesized by a simple one-step reaction protocol and subjected to in vitro urease inhibition studies for the first time. All compounds 1-22 were found active and showed significant to moderate urease inhibitory potential. Specifically, analogues 1, 2, 4, and 7 were identified to be more potent (IC50 = 11.2 ± 0.81-20.4 ± 0.22 µM) than the standard thiourea (IC50 = 21.7 ± 0.34 µM). The structure-activity relationship showed that compounds bearing electron-donating groups showed superior activity. Molecular docking study on the most active derivatives revealed a good protein-ligand interaction profile against the corresponding target with key interactions, including hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic, and π-anion interactions.
