The aim of this study was to determine the cytotoxic effect of 3-arylidenechromanone (1) and 3arylideneflavanone (2) on HL-60 and NALM-6 cell lines (two human leukemia cell lines) and a WM-115 melanoma cell line. Both compounds exhibited high cytotoxic activity with higher cytotoxicity exerted by compound 2, for which IC50 values below 10 µM were found for each cell line. For compound 1, the IC50 values were higher than 10 µM for HL-60 and WM-115 cell lines, but IC50 < 10 µM was found for the NALM-6 cell line. Both compounds, at the concentrations close to IC50 (concentration range: 5–24 µM/L for compound 1 and 6–10 µM/L for compound 2), are not toxic towards red blood cells. The synthesized compounds were characterized using spectroscopic methods 1H- and 13C-NMR, IR, MS, elemental analysis, and X-ray diffraction. The lipophilicity of both synthesized compounds was determined using an RP-TLC method and the logP values found were compared with the theoretical ones taken from the Molinspiration Cheminformatics (miLogP) software package. The mode of binding of both compounds to human serum albumin was assessed using molecular docking methods.

ABSTRACT To study carbohydrate-mediated adherence of Streptococcus pneumoniae to the human airway, we measured binding of liveS. pneumoniae organisms to a cultured cell line derived from the lining of the conjunctiva and to primary monolayers of human bronchial epithelial cells in the presence and absence of oligosaccharide inhibitors. Both encapsulated and nonencapsulated strains of S. pneumoniae grown to mid-logarithmic phase in suspension culture adhered to cultured primary respiratory epithelial cells and the conjunctival cell line. Adherence of nine clinically prevalent S. pneumoniaecapsular types studied was inhibited preferentially by sialylated oligosaccharides that terminate with the disaccharide NeuAcα2-3(or 6)Galβ1. Adherence of some strains also was weakly inhibited by oligosaccharides that terminate with lactosamine (Galβ1-4GlcNAcβ1). When sialylated oligosaccharides were covalently coupled to human serum albumin at a density of approximately 20 oligosaccharides per molecule of protein, the molar inhibitory potency of the oligosaccharide inhibitor was enhanced 500-fold. The above-mentioned experiments reveal a previously unreported dependence upon sialylated carbohydrate ligands for adherence of S. pneumoniae to human upper airway epithelial cells. Enhanced inhibitory potencies of polyvalent over monovalent forms of oligosaccharide inhibitors of adherence suggest that the putative adhesin(s) that recognizes the structure NeuAcα2-3(or 6)Galβ1 is arranged on the bacterial surface in such a manner that it may be cross-linked by oligosaccharides covalently linked to human serum albumin.

ZusammenfassungNach tierexperimentellen Voruntersuchungen wurde die Placentographie mit trägerfreiem 113Inm -HSA als klinische Methode eingeführt. Vor Amniocentesen und bei Verdacht auf Placenta praevia werden Placentographien geschrieben. Den Schwangeren wird eine Aktivität von 500 μCi in die Cubitalvene injiziert. Die der Aktivität entsprechende Indiummenge ist kleiner als 0,1 ng. Die fetale Strahlenbelastung liegt unter lOmrad. Bei Anwendung von 113Inm-HSA entfällt eine Blockade der mütterlichen und fetalen Schilddrüsen. Die genaue Abgrenzung einer Placenta praevia wird nicht durch eine Blasenaktivität beeinträchtigt.Es wurden bisher 19 Placentalokalisationen durchgeführt. In allen Fällen konnte der Placentasitz eindeutig festgestellt werden. Bedingt durch die lange Liegezeit beim Aufnehmen eines Szintigramms kam es in zwei Fällen zu einem Vena-Cava-Kompressions-Syndrom. Zur Verhinderung dieser klinischen Zwischenfälle werden inzwischen Placentographien mit der Anger-Kamera aufgenommen. Mit Hilfe des divergierenden Kollimators konnte der gesamte Abdominalbereich erfaßt werden. Die Aufnahmezeit konnte auf 7 — 10 Minuten verkürzt werden. Die intravenöse injizierte Aktivität betrug bei dieser Methode ebenfalls 500 μCi. Der diagnostische Aussagewert der Kamerabilder ist szintigraphischen Aufnahmen gleichwertig.
