Previous Identification

Background: Previous identification of N,N-diethylthiobarbiturates as potential α-glucosidase inhibitory potential prompted us to investigate the antiglycation activity of these synthetic compounds (1-25) in order to identify the lead candidates for their possible antidiabetic potential. Methods: Synthetic compounds (1-25) were evaluated for their antiglycation activity using Bovine Serum Albumin assay (BSA). Results: Compounds exhibited varying degree of inhibition in the range of IC50 = 61.16 ± 2.3 - 656.71 ± 2.5 µM as compared to the standard rutin (IC50 = 294.5 ± 1.50 µM). Among the twenty five synthetic molecules, seven compounds showed good activity in comparison with the standard. Compound 4 (IC50 = 61.16 ± 2.3 µM) having hydroxy substituents was the most active molecule of the library. This study revealed that compound 4 has dual acting antidibetic molecule. Conclusion: In conclusion, the synthetic N,N-diethylthiobarbiturates can act as lead molecules. Furthermore, synthetic variations on N,N-diethylthiobarbituric acid moiety might be helpful in generating a library of potential anti diabetic agent. Especially, compound 4 has been identified as dual acting antidiabetic agent i.e. α-glucosidase inhibitor and antiglycating agent.

Amylase Inhibitors

In this study we are going to present thiazole based carbohydrazide in search of potent antidiabetic agent as α-amylase inhibitors. Thiazole based carbohydrazide derivatives 1-25 have been synthesized, characterized by 1HNMR, 13CNMR, and EI-MS, and evaluated for α-amylase inhibition. Except compound 11 all analogs showed α-amylase inhibitory activity with IC50 values from 1.709 ± 0.12 to 3.049 ± 0.25 μM against the standard acarbose (IC50 = 1.637 ± 0.153 μM). Compounds 1, 10, 14, and 20 exhibited outstanding inhibitory potential with IC50 value 1.763 ± 0.03, 1.747 ± 0.20, 1.709 ± 0.12, and 1.948 ± 0.23 μM, respectively, compared with the standard acarbose. Structure activity relationships have been established for the active compounds. To get an idea about the binding interaction of the compounds, molecular docking studies were done.

Background: One of the best methods to treat Alzheimer disease (AD) is through the effective use of cholinesterase inhibitors as vital drugs due to the identification of acetylcholine deficit in the AD patients. Objective: The present study aims the investigation of spiro heterocyclic compounds as potential AD agents supported by their metal chelation capacity, POM analyses and DFT studies respectively. Method: The cholinesterase inhibition and metal chelation ability was performed on ELISA microtiter assay. Whereas B3LYP method with 6-31+G(d,p) basis set was implemented to study HOMO-LUMO energy calculations. The pharmacokinetic properties of the synthesized molecules were studied through Petra, Osiris and Molinspiration (POM). Results: The six spiro (1-6) skeletons were tested for their inhibitory potential and metal-chelation capacity. Our findings revealed that the tested spiro skeletons exerted none or lower than 50% inhibition against both cholinesterases, while compound 4 proved to be the most active molecule with 57.21±0.89% of inhibition toward BChE. The spiro molecule 3 exhibited the highest metal-chelation capacity (9.12±5.26%). Molecular docking model for the most active molecule exhibited promising bindings with AChE and BChE’s active site pertained to hydrophobic hydrogen bonds and positive ionizable interactions. The POM analyses gave the information about the flexibility at the site of coordination of spiro compounds (1-6). Conclusion: The screening of spirocompounds (1-6) against cholinesterases revealed that some of them show considerable potential to inhibit AChE and BChE. Herein we propose that the spiro molecules after further derivatization could serve interesting AD inhibitor drugs.

The Ideal

The technique of labeling of macromolecules with ferritin conjugated antibody has been successfully used for extracellular antigen by means of staining the specimen with conjugate prior to fixation and embedding. However, the ideal method to determine the location of intracellular antigen would be to do the antigen-antibody reaction in thin sections. This technique contains inherent problems such as the destruction of antigenic determinants during fixation or embedding and the non-specific attachment of conjugate to the embedding media. Certain embedding media such as polyampholytes (2) or cross-linked bovine serum albumin (3) have been introduced to overcome some of these problems.

Crystallographic Planes

ALCHEMI (Atom Location by CHannelling-Enhanced Microanalysis) is a TEM technique for determining site occupancies in single crystals. The method uses the channelling of incident electrons along specific crystallographic planes. This channelling results in enhanced x-ray emission from the atoms on those planes, thereby providing the required site-occupancy information. ALCHEMI has been applied with success to spinel, olivine and feldspar. For the garnets, which form a large group of important minerals and synthetic compounds, the channelling effect is weaker, and significant results are more difficult to obtain. It was found, however, that the channelling effect is pronounced for low-index zone-axis orientations, yielding a method for assessing site occupancies that is rapid and easy to perform.

As If

We recently described an artificial substrate system which could be used to optimize labeling parameters in EM immunocytochemistry (ICC). The system utilizes blocks of glutaraldehyde polymerized bovine serum albumin (BSA) into which an antigen is incorporated by a soaking procedure. The resulting antigen impregnated blocks can then be fixed and embedded as if they are pieces of tissue and the effects of fixation, embedding and other parameters on the ability of incorporated antigen to be immunocyto-chemically labeled can then be assessed. In developing this system further, we discovered that the BSA substrate can also be dried and then sectioned for immunolabeling with or without prior chemical fixation and without exposing the antigen to embedding reagents. The effects of fixation and embedding protocols can thus be evaluated separately.

Exposure of the ciliate, Tetrahymena pyriformis, strain WH6, to normal human or rabbit sera or mouse ascites fluids induces the formation of large cytoplasmic bodies. By electron microscopy these (LB) are observed to be membrane-bounded structures, generally spherical and varying in size (Fig. 1), which do not resemble the food vacuoles of cells grown in proteinaceous broth. The possibility exists that the large bodies represent endocytic vacuoles containing material concentrated from the highly nutritive proteins and lipoproteins of the sera or ascites fluids. Tetrahymena mixed with bovine serum albumin or ovalbumin solutions having about the same protein concentration (7g/100 ml) as serum form endocytic vacuoles which bear little resemblance to the serum-induced LB. The albumin-induced structures (Fig. 2) are irregular in shape, rarely spherical, and have contents which vary in density and consistency. In this paper an attempt is made to formulate the sequence of events which might occur in the formation of the albumin-induced vacuoles.

Electron microscopic (EM) immunocytochemistry localization of the neuron specific protein p65 could show which organelles contain this antigen. Antibodies (Ab) labeled with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) followed by chromogen development show a broad diffuse label distribution within cells and restricting identification of organelles. Particulate label (e.g. 10 nm colloidal gold) is highly desirable but not practical because penetration into cells requires destroying the plasma membrane. We report pre-embedding immunocytochemistry with a particulate marker, 1 nm gold, that will pass through membranes treated with saponin, a mild detergent.Cell cultures of the rat cerebellum were fixed in buffered 4% paraformaldehyde and 0.1% glutaraldehyde (Glut.). The buffer for all incubations and rinses was phosphate buffered saline with: 1% calf serum, 0.2% saponin, 0.1% gelatin, 50 mM glycine 1 mg/ml bovine serum albumin, and (not in the HRP labeled cultures) 0.02% sodium azide. The monoclonal #48 to p65 was used with three label systems: HRP, 1 nm avidin gold with IntenSE M development, and 1 nm avidin gold with Danscher development.
