Ic50 Value

Background: Alzheimer is a major cause of dementia in the elderly and acetylcholinesterase inhibitors are used to treat the symptoms of this disease. Recently, chalcones have been reported as potential acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. Materials and methods: In this study, Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction was applied to synthesize chalcones. Anti-acetylcholinesterase activity of these chalcones was determined by Ellman method. Molecular docking studies on acetylcholinesterase were performed to explain the interaction between these chalcone analogues and acetylcholinesterase active site at molecular level. Results: A total of twenty chalcones were synthesized and determined for in vitro anti-acetylcholinesterase activity. The results indicated that six compounds having IC50 value below 100 µM, three compounds having IC50 value in the range of 100 µM and 300 µM, the rest having IC50 value above 300 µM. Chalcone S17 (4’-amino-2-chlorochalcone) shows the strongest anti-acetylcholinesterase activity in the investigated group with IC50 value of 36.10 µM. In combination with the results of the in vitro anti-acetylcholinesterase activity, molecular docking study is used to explain the interaction between chalcone molecules and their active site, and the structure-activity relationship is abstracted. Conclusions: Our study indicated that the 2’-hydroxychalcones with halogen functional groups on B ring are strong acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. Chalcone S17 (4’-amino-2-chlorochalcone) could be considered as a potential lead compound for the development of new acetylcholinesterase inhibitors.

Inhibition of cyclooxygenase is the way of therapeutic activities for anti-inflammatory pharmaceuticals. Serum albumins are the major soluble protein able to bind and transport a variety of exogenous and endogenous ligands, including hydrophobic pharmaceuticals. In this study, a novel N-substituted 1H-pyrrolo[3–c]pyridine-1,3(2H)-diones derivatives were synthesized and biologically evaluated for their inhibitory activity against cyclooxygenases and interactions with BSA. In vitro, COX-1 and COX-2 inhibition assays were performed. Interaction with BSA was studied by fluorescence spectroscopy and circular dichroism measurement. The molecular docking study was conducted to understand the binding interaction of compounds in the active site of cyclooxygenases and BSA. The result of the COX-1 and COX-2 inhibitory studies revealed that all the compounds potentially inhibited COX-1 and COX-2. The IC50 value was found similar to meloxicam. The intrinsic fluorescence of BSA was quenched by tested compounds due to the formation of A/E–BSA complex. The results of the experiment and molecular docking confirmed the main interaction forces between studied compounds and BSA were hydrogen bonding and van der Waals force.

Pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines 5a–c, 9a–c and 13a–i were synthesized for evaluation of their in vitro antimicrobial properties against some microorganisms and their immunomodulatory activity. The biological activities of pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines showed that the pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines (5c, 9a, 9c, 13a, 13c, 13d, 13e and 13h) displayed promising antimicrobial and immunomodulatory activities. Studying the in silico predicted physicochemical, pharmacokinetic, ADMET and drug-likeness properties for the pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines 5a–c, 9a–c and 13a–i confirmed that most of the compounds (i) were within the range set by Lipinski’s rule of five, (ii) show higher gastrointestinal absorption and inhibition of some CYP isoforms, and (iii) have a carcinogenicity test that was predicted as negative and hERG test that presented medium risk. Moreover, the molecular docking study demonstrated that the compounds 5c, 9a, 9c, 13a, 13c, 13d, 13e and 13h are potent inhibitors of 14-alpha demethylase, transpeptidase and alkaline phosphatase enzymes. This study could be valuable in the discovery of a new series of drugs.

Abstract Pentacyclic triterpenes and cardenolides were isolated from Acokanthera oblongifolia leaves. Their chemical structures were determined based on comprehensive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy. Their MIC was determined against 12 microorganisms. Their exerted cytotoxicity on the immortalized normal cells, hTERT-RPE1 was assessed by the sulforhodamine-B assay. The viral inhibitory effects of compounds against Newcastle disease virus (NDV) and H5N1 influenza virus IV were evaluated. Four in vitro antioxidant assays were performed in comparison with BHT and trolox and a weak activity was exhibited. Acovenoside A was with potent against H5N1-IV and NDV with IC50 ≤ 3.2 and ≤ 2.1 μg/ml and SI values of 93.75 and 95.23%, respectively, in comparison to ribavirin. Its CC50 record on Vero cells was > 400 and 200 μg/ml, respectively. Acobioside A was the most active compound against a broad range of microbes while Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the most sensitive. Its MIC (0.07 μg/ml) was 1/100-fold of the recorded CC50 (7.1 μg/ml/72 h) against hTERT-RPE1. The molecular docking of compounds on human DNA topoisomerase I (Top1-DNA) and IV glycoprotein hemagglutinin were studied using MOE program. This study has introduced the cardenolides rather than triterpenoids with the best docking score and binding interaction with the active site of the studied proteins.
