The current study aimed to determine the antidiabetic and antidyslipidemic activities of moronic acid methyl ester (1) by in vivo, in vitro, in silico and molecular biology studies. Compound 1 was evaluated to establish its dose-dependent antidiabetic and antihyperglycemic (50 mg/kg) activities, in diabetic and normoglycemic male CD1 mice, respectively. Also, compound 1 was subjected to a sub-acute study (50 mg/kg/day for eight days) to determine blood biochemical profiles and the expression of PTP-1B, GLUT4, PPAR-α, PPAR-γ, adiponectin, IL-1β, and MCP1 in adipose tissue of animals after treatment. Different doses in acute administration of 1 decreased glycemia (p < 0.05), compared with vehicle, showing greater effectiveness in the range 50-160 mg/kg. Also, the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) showed that 1 induced a significant antihyperglycemic action by opposing the hyperglycemic peak (p < 0.05). Moreover, 1 subacute administration decrease glucose and triglycerides levels after treatment (p < 0.05); while the expression of PPAR-α and γ, adiponectin and GLUT4 displayed an increase (p< 0.05) compared with the diabetic control group. In conclusion, compound 1 showed antihyperglycemic, antidiabetic and antidyslipidemic effects in normal and diabetic mice, probably due to insulin sensitization through increase mRNA expression of GLUT4, PPAR-α, PPAR-γ and adiponectin genes.

The aim of this present investigation was to analyze bioactive compounds, as well as demonstrate the antioxidant activities of nine cultivars of Australian lupin species accompanied by observing the effect of domestic heat processing on their antioxidant activities adopting in vivo and in vitro approaches. Gas chromatography mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) analysis was performed for profiling bioactive compounds present in lupin cultivars. Multiple assay techniques involving quantification of polyphenolics, flavonoids and flavonol, electron transfer (ET) based assay, hydrogen atom transfer (HAT)-based assay and in vivo assays were performed. The major compounds found were hexadecanoic acid methyl ester, 9,12-octadecadienoic acid methyl ester, methyl stearate, lupanine,13-docosenamide and 11-octadecenoic acid (Z)- methyl ester. Mandelup was found to show excellent antioxidant activity. Moreover, Jurien, Gunyidi and Barlock had strong antioxidant activity. Both positive and negative impacts of heat processing were observed on antioxidant activity. Heating and usage of excess water during processing were the key determinants of loss of antioxidants. Negligible loss of antioxidant activity was observed in most of the assays whereas inhibition of both lipid peroxidation (33.53%) and hemolysis of erythrocytes (37.75%) were increased after processing. In addition, in vitro and in vivo antioxidant assays are found to show statistically significant (* p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01) results, which are supported by the presence of a number of antioxidant compounds in GC-MS analysis.

To discover novel potent cytotoxic diterpenoids, a series of hybrids of dehydroabietic acid containing 1,2,3-triazole moiety were designed and synthesized. The target compounds were characterized by means of FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, ESI-MS and elemental analysis techniques. The in vitro cytotoxicity of these compounds was evaluated by standard MTT (methyl thiazolytetrazolium) assay against CNE-2 (nasopharynx), HepG2 (liver), HeLa (epithelial cervical), BEL-7402 (liver) human carcinoma cell lines and human normal liver cell (HL-7702). The screening results revealed that most of the hybrids showed significantly improved cytotoxicity over parent compound DHAA. Among them, [1-(3-fluorobenzyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-yl]dehydroabietic acid methyl ester (3c), and [1-(2-nitrobenzyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-yl]dehydroabietic acid methyl ester (3k) displayed better antiproliferative activity with IC50 (50% inhibitory concentration) values of 5.90 ± 0.41 and 6.25 ± 0.37 µM toward HepG2 cells compared to cisplatin, while they exhibited lower cytotoxicity against HL-7702. Therefore, the 1,2,3-triazole-hybrids could be a promising strategy for the synthesis of antitumor diterpenoids and it also proved the essential role of 1,2,3-triazole moiety of DHAA in the biological activity.

Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a disease caused by a deficiency of phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH), resulting in an accumulation of phenylalanine (Phe) in the brain tissue, cerebrospinal fluid, and other tissues of PKU patients. Considering that high levels of Phe are associated with neurological dysfunction and that the mechanisms underlying the neurotoxicity in PKU remain poorly understood, the main objective of this study was to investigate the in vivo and in vitro effects of Phe on DNA damage, as determined by the alkaline comet assay. The results showed that, compared to control group, the levels of DNA migration were significantly greater after acute administration of Phe, p-chlorophenylalanine (p-Cl-Phe, an inhibitor of PAH), or a combination thereof in cerebral cortex and blood, indicating DNA damage. These treatments also provoked increase of carbonyl content. Additionally, when Phe or p-Cl-Phe was present in the incubation medium, we observed an increase in the frequency and index of DNA damage in the cerebral cortex and blood, without affecting lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release. Our in vitro and in vivo findings indicate that DNA damage occurs in the cerebral cortex and blood of rats receiving Phe, suggesting that this mechanism could be, at least in part, responsible for the neurological dysfunction in PKU patients.

Abstract Fractionation with n-hexane/ethyl acetate (1:1 v/v) by open column chromatography of the oleoresin from Pinus oocarpa Schiede yielded two diterpenes, pimaric acid (1) and dehydroabietic acid (5), the sesquiterpene longifolene (3) and a diterpenic mixture containing pimaric acid (1), isopimaric acid (4) and dehydroabietic acid (5). Subsequently, the isolated compounds, the mixture of 1, 4 and 5, the oleoresin and the dehydroabietic acid methyl ester (2), were tested in vitro against epimastigotes of Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease. The most active compounds were 1, 3 and the oleoresin, being as active as nifurtimox, a drug effective in the treatment of acute infection by American trypanosomiasis and used in this work as positive control.

Aim: To study the effect of white rind extract on decreasing soybean oil impact on calcium and phosphorous blood levels in vivo. Method: Dried watermelon white rind was directed to mycotoxin and elemental determinations to assure its safe usage. Soybean oil was subjected to fatty acid and GC-MS analysis. Biological experiment was conducted using male albino rats fed diet prepared by soybean oil and supplied with aqueous watermelon white rind extract for two months’ interval period. At the end of the experiment, the calcium and phosphorus in blood were determined. Results: The rind was free from aflatoxin and ochratoxin. Watermelon white rind aqueous extract contained iron, copper, potassium, chromium and selenium at concentration ranges of 3.4, 0.53, 45.51, 0.0142 and 0.0985 ppm, respectively. Soybean oil had free fatty acid, peroxide value, iodine number and anisidine value of 0.43%, 13.62 meq O2/Kg, 132 and 0.7, respectively. GC-MS analysis of soy oil ascertained the presence of twenty-four compounds: linoleic acid, methyl ester (25.27%), monensin (15.75%), elaidic acid (9.24%), nonadecanoic acid, methyl ester (7.04%), cis-13-eicosenoic acid (4.92%), cis-vaccenic acid (4.68%), linoleic acid (4.67%), palmitoleic acid (4.46%), 9-tetradecenal (4.42%) and cysteine (4.18%)were the most predominant. Fatty acid profile of the oil showed that the ratio of saturated fatty acid to unsaturated fatty acids was 1:5. Conclusion: Rats fed diet prepared by soybean oil had a decreased calcium level in comparison with negative control (p<0.05). Supplementation with watermelon white rind aqueous extract rendered calcium level to normal status as negative control. Phosphorus level wasn’t affected by soya oil.

The morphometric study conducted has revealed that the effect of a 1% methacrylic acid-methyl ester solution affects the resistive section of the microvasculatory bed of the submandibular salivary gland lobes. The study was conducted on 30 white outbred male rats, 10 of which made up the control group of animals and 20 animals made up experimental group, whose oral mucosa was treated with 1% methacrylic acid-methyl ester solution for 30 days. After euthanasia of animals in 14 and 30 days, samples of the submandibular gland were embedded into epon-812. Semi-thin sections were stained with polychrome dye. A quantitative analysis of the results of the morphometric study and statistical processing of the morphometric data was performed using standard statistical methods using the Excel program. The outer diameter and lumen diameter of arterioles were measured. The thickness of the vascular wall was calculated using the formula VWTh = Dz-Dt / 2. On the 14th day, in response to the action of 1% methacrylic acid-methyl ester solution, the average outer arteriole diameter decreased by 13.04%, the diameter of the of arteriole lumen by 20.77%. There is a significant increase in the average thickness of the vascular wall by 5.45%, the value of which was 2.90 microns. On the 13th day of the study, it was found out that the average values ​​of the outer diameter of the arterioles increased by 5.04% (p <0.05), compared with the control group. The lumen diameter was significantly larger by 15% that the values ​​in the control group of animals, and the average vascular wall thickness was significantly lower by 18.91% than the values ​​in the control group of animals (p <0.05). Normalization of indicators for the 30th day has not been defined. Thus, the effect of 1% methacrylic acid-methyl ester solution on the arterioles of the submandibular salivary gland lobes is characterized by vascular spasms in the early stages, and vascular dilatation in the later stages of the experiment.
