AB  - Novel polyurethane nanocomposite (PUN) materials containing different surface-functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) were prepared by in situ polymerization methodology. Polyurethane network was formed from poly(dimethylsiloxane)-based macrodiol (PDMS), 4,4′-methylenediphenyldiisocyanate (MDI), and hyperbranched polyester of the second pseudo-generation (BH-20; used as crosslinking agent). PU and PU/MSN nanocomposites contained equal ratios of soft PDMS and hard MDI-BH-20 segments. Non-functionalized and surface-functionalized (with 3-(trihydroxysilyl)propyl methylphosphonate (FOMSN) and 2-[methoxy(polyethyleneoxy)6−9propyl]trimethoxysilane (PEGMSN)) MSNs were used as the nanofillers at a concentration of 1 wt%. Prepared materials were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), dynamic mechanical thermal analyses (DMTA), nanoindentation, equilibrium swelling and water absorption measurements. Characteristics of the prepared PUNs when in contact with a biological environment were assessed through testing their biocompatibility, protein adsorption and adhesion of endothelial cells. The favourable influence of MSNs on the physico-chemical and biological characteristics of these novel PUN materials was identified, which evidences their vast applicability potential as coatings for medical devices and implants.

AB  - Polyurethane copolymers based on ,-dihydroxypropyl poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) with a range of soft segment contents were prepared by two-stage polymerization, and their microstructures, thermal, thermomechanical, and surface properties, as well as in vitro hemo- and cytocompatibility were evaluated. All utilized characterization methods confirmed the existence of moderately microphase separated structures with the appearance of some microphase mixing between segments as the PDMS (i.e., soft segment) content increased. Copolymers showed higher crystallinity, storage moduli, surface roughness, and surface free energy, but less hydrophobicity with decreasing PDMS content. Biocompatibility of copolymers was evaluated using an endothelial EA.hy926 cell line by direct contact, an extraction method and after pretreatment of copolymers with multicomponent protein mixture, as well as by a competitive protein adsorption assay. Copolymers showed no toxic effect to endothelial cells and all copolymers, except that with the lowest PDMS content, exhibited resistance to endothelial cell adhesion, suggesting their unsuitability for long-term biomedical devices which particularly require re-endothelialization. All copolymers exhibited excellent resistance to fibrinogen adsorption and adsorbed more albumin than fibrinogen in the competitive adsorption assay, suggesting their good hemocompatibility. The noncytotoxic chemistry of these synthesized materials, combined with their nonadherent properties which are inhospitable to cell attachment and growth, underlie the need for further investigations to clarify their potential for use in short-term biomedical devices.

AB  - Properties and biocompatibility of a series of thermoplastic poly(urethane-siloxane)s (TPUSs) based on alpha,omega-dihydroxy ethoxy propyl poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) for potential biomedical application were studied. Thin films of TPUSs with a different PDMS soft segment content were characterized by H-1 NMR, quantitative C-13 NMR, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), atomic force microscopy (AFM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), contact angle, and water absorption measurements. Different techniques (FTIR, AFM, and DMA) showed that decrease of PDMS content promotes microphase separation in TPUSs. Samples with a higher PDMS content have more hydrophobic surface and better waterproof performances, but lower degree of crystallinity. Biocompatibility of TPUSs was examined after attachment of endothelial cells to the untreated copolymer surface or surface pretreated with multicomponent protein mixture, and by using competitive protein adsorption assay. TPUSs did not exhibit any cytotoxicity toward endothelial cells, as measured by lactate dehydrogenase and 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide assays. The untreated and proteins preadsorbed TPUS samples favored endothelial cells adhesion and growth, indicating good biocompatibility. All TPUSs adsorbed more albumin than fibrinogen in competitive protein adsorption experiment, which is feature regarded as beneficial for biocompatibility. The results indicate that TPUSs have good surface, thermo-mechanical, and biocompatible properties, which can be tailored for biomedical application requirements by adequate selection of the soft/hard segments ratio of the copolymers.

AB  - Segmented polyurethanes based on poly(dimethylsiloxane), currently used for biomedical applications, have sub-optimal biocompatibility which reduces their efficacy. Improving the endothelial cell attachment and blood-contacting properties of PDMS-based copolymers would substantially improve their clinical applications. We have studied the surface properties and in vitro biocompatibility of two series of segmented poly(urethane-dimethylsiloxane)s (SPU-PDMS) based on hydroxypropyl- and hydroxyethoxypropyl-terminated PDMS with potential applications in blood-contacting medical devices. SPU-PDMS copolymers were characterized by contact angle measurements, surface free energy determination (calculated using the van Oss-Chaudhury-Good and Owens-Wendt methods), and atomic force microscopy. The biocompatibility of copolymers was evaluated using an endothelial EA.hy926 cell line by direct contact assay, before and after pre-treatment of copolymers with multicomponent protein mixture, as well as by a competitive blood-protein adsorption assay. The obtained results suggested good blood compatibility of synthesized copolymers. All copolymers exhibited good resistance to fibrinogen adsorption and all favored albumin adsorption. Copolymers based on hydroxyethoxypropyl-PDMS had lower hydrophobicity, higher surface free energy and better microphase separation in comparison with hydroxypropyl-PDMS-based copolymers, which promoted better endothelial cell attachment and growth on the surface of these polymers as compared to hydroxypropyl-PDMS-based copolymers. The results showed that SPU-PDMS copolymers display good surface properties, depending on the type of soft PDMS segments, which can be tailored for biomedical application requirements such as biomedical devices for short- and long-term uses.

Poboljšavajući vezivanje endotelnih ćelija i svojstva kopolimera na bazi PDMS u dodiru sa krvlju značajno bi se poboljšala i proširila njihova klinička primena. U ovom radu su proučavana površinska svojstva i in vitro biokompatibilnost dve serije segmentiranih poli(uretan-dimetilsiloksana) (SPU-PDMS) na bazi hidroksipropil- i hidroksietoksipropil- PDMS pretpolimera sa potencijalnim primenama u medicinskim uredjajima u kontaktu sa krvlju. SPU-PDMS kopolimeri su karakterisani merenjem kontaktnih uglova, određivanjem površinske energije (izračunate prema van Oss-Chaudhury-Good i Owens-Wendt metodama), i mikroskopijom atomskih sila. Biokompatibilnost kopolimera je ispitivana primenom endotelnih EA.hy926 ćelija u direktnom kontaktu, pre i nakon pretretiranja kopolimera sa višekomponentnom smešom proteina, kao i pomoću kompetitivne adsorpcije proteina. Dobijeni rezultati su potvrdili da sintetisani kopolimeri imaju dobru kompatibilnost prema krvi. Svi sintetisani kopolimeri pokazivali su dobru otpornost prema adsorpciji fibrinogena i svi kopolimeri su favorizovali adsorpciju albumina.

Rezultati su pokazali da SPU-PDMS kopolimeri prikazuju dobra površinska svojstva, zavisno od vrste mekih PDMS segmenata, koja se mogu prilagođavati zahtevima u biomedicini, kao što su biomedicinski uređaji za kratkoročnu i dugoročnu upotrebu.

AB  - The ratio of affinities toward the dopamine D-2 and the 5-hydroxytryptamine 5-HT1A receptors is one of the important parameters that determine the efficiency of antipsychotic drugs. Here, we present the synthesis of ortho-, meta-, and para-N-{[2-(4-phenyl-piperazin-1-yl)-ethyl]-phenyl}-arylamides and their structure-activity relationship studies on dopamine D-2 and 5-hydroxytryptamine 5-HT1A receptors. It was shown that the biological activity of the described ligands strongly depends on their topology as well as on the nature of the heteroaryl group in the head of the molecules. Docking simulations together with conformational analysis revealed a rational explanation for the ligands' behavior. The molecular model of receptor-ligand interactions described herein provided us with a tool for the rational design of new compounds with a favorable D-2/5-HT1A profile.

AB  - We investigated the ability of 19 recently synthesized arylpiperazine compounds to protect human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells from the neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA). The compound with the most potent neuroprotective action was N-{3-[2-(4-phenyl-piperazin-1-yl)-ethyl]-phenyl}-picolinamide (6b), which reduced 6-OHDA-induced apoptotic death through stabilization of mitochondrial membrane and subsequent prevention of superoxide production, caspase activation and DNA fragmentation. 6-OHDA-triggered autophagic response was also reduced by 6b, which prevented inactivation of the main autophagy repressor mTOR, upregulation of proautophagic beclin-1, conversion of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3)-I to autophagosome-associAed LC3-II, as well as intracytoplasmic acidification induced by 6-OHDA. The inhibition of autophagy using LC3 beta gene silencing or pharmacological autophagy blockers 3-methyladenine or bafilomycin A1, mimicked the cytoprotective effect of 6b. While the treatment with 6b had no effect on the phosphorylation of proapoptotic MAP kinases ERR and JNK, it markedly increased the phosphorylation of the prosurvival kinase Akt in 6-OHDA-treated cells. Akt inhibitor DEBC or RNA interference-mediated Akt silencing reduced the ability of 6b to block 6-0HDA-triggered apoptotic and autophagic responses, thus confirming their dependency on Akt activation. The cytoprotective effect of 6b was also observed in 6-OHDA-treated neuronal PC12 cells, but not in SH-SY5Y or PC12 cells exposed to 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium, indicating that the observed neuroprotection was dependent on the cytotoxic stimulus. Because of the ability to prevent 6-OHDA induced apoptotic/autophagic cell death through activation of Akt, the investigated arylpiperazines could be potential candidates for treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.

AB  - Novel polyurethane co-polymers (TPUs), based on poly(epsilon-caprolactone)-block-poly(dimethylsiloxane)-block-poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL-PDMS-PCL) as soft segment and 4,4'-methylenediphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) and 1,4-butanediol (BD) as hard segment, were synthesized and evaluated for biomedical applications. The content of hard segments (HS) in the polymer chains was varied from 9 to 63 wt%. The influence of the content and length of the HS on the thermal, surface, mechanical properties and biocompatibility was investigated. The structure, composition and HS length were examined using H-1- and quantitative C-13-NMR spectroscopy. DSC results implied that the synthesized TPUs were semicrystalline polymers in which both the hard MDI/BD and soft PCL-PDMS-PCL segments participated. It was found that an increase in the average HS length (from 1.2 to 14.4 MDI/BD units) was accompanied by an increase in the crystallinity of the hard segments, storage moduli, hydrophilicity and degree of microphase separation of the co-polymers. Depending on the HS content, a gradual variation in surface properties of co-polymers was revealed by FTIR, AFM and static water contact angle measurements. The in vitro biocompatibility of co-polymers was evaluated using the endothelial EA. hy926 cell line and protein adsorption on the polyurethane films. All synthesized TPUs adsorbed more albumin than fibrinogen from multicomponent protein mixture, which may indicate biocompatibility. The polyurethane films with high HS content and/or high roughness coefficient exhibit good surface properties and biocompatible behavior, which was confirmed by non-toxic effects to cells and good cell adhesion. Therefore, the non-cytotoxic chemistry of the co-polymers makes them good candidates for further development as biomedical implants.

AB  - It is suggested that the ratio of dopamine D-2 to 5-hydroxytryptamine 5-HT1A activity is an important parameter that determines the efficiency of antipsychotic drugs. Here we present the synthesis of N-{[2-(4-phenyl-piperazin-1-yl)-ethyl]-phenyl}-2-aryl-2-yl-acetamides and 1-{[2-(4-phenyl-piperazin-1-yl)-ethyl]-phenyl}-3-aryl-2-yl-ureas and their structure-activity relationship studies on dopamine D-2 and 5-hydrohytryptamine 5-HT1A receptors. It was shown that ligand selectivity and affinity strongly depends on their topology and the presence of a pyridyl group in the head of molecules. Molecular modeling studies using homology modeling and docking simulation revealed a rational explanation for the ligand behavior. The observed binding modes and receptor-ligand interactions provided us with a clue for optimizing the optimal selectivity towards 5-HT1A receptors.

AB  - The protective ability of novel arylpiperazine-based dopaminergic ligands against nitric oxide (NO)-mediated neurotoxicity is investigated. The most potent neuroprotective arylpiperazine identified during the study was N-{4-[2-(4-phenyl-piperazin-1-yl)ethyl]-phenyl}picolinamide, which protected SH-SY5Y human neuron-like cells from the proapoptotic effect of NO donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP) by decreasing oxidative stress, mitochondrial membrane depolarization, caspase activation and subsequent phosphatydilserine externalization/DNA fragmentation. The protective effect was associated with the inhibition of proapoptotic (JNK, ERK, AMPK) and activation of antiapoptotic (Akt) signaling pathways, in the absence of interference with intracellular NO accumulation. The neuroprotective action of arylpiperazines was shown to be independent of dopamine receptor binding, as it was not affected by the high-affinity D1/D2 receptor blocker butaclamol. These results reported support the further study of arylpiperazines as potential neuroprotective agents.

AB  - Five groups of previously synthesized and initially screened non-substituted and 4-halogenated arylpiperazin-1-yl-ethyl-benzimidazoles were estimated for their in-vitro binding affinities at the rat D-2, 5-HT2A, and alpha(1)-adrenergic receptors. Among all these compounds, 2-methoxyphenyl and 2-chlorophenyl piperazines demonstrate the highest affinities for the tested receptors. The effects of 4-halogenation of benzimidazoles reveal that substitution with brominemay greatly increase the affinity of the compounds for the studied receptors, while the effect of substitution with chlorine is less remarkable. Most of the tested components show 5-HT2A/D-2 pK(i) binding ratios slightly above or less than 1, while only 4-chloro-6-(2-{4-[3-(trifluoromethyl) phenyl]piperazin-1-yl}ethyl)-1H-benzimidazole expresses an appropriate higher binding ratio (1.14), which was indicated for atypical neuroleptics. This compound exhibits a non-cataleptic action in rats and prevents d-amphetamine-induced hyperlocomotion in mice, which suggest its atypical antipsychotic potency.

AB  - Two new series of substituted arylpiperazines with heterocyclic 3-propoxy-benzimidazole or 3-propoxy-benzimidazole-2-thione groups were synthesized and their in vitro binding affinities for the D2, 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A, and α1-adrenergic receptors determined. Among them, only two compounds with phenyl aryl-constituent (8a and 9a) showed 5-HT2A/D2 pKi binding ratios proposed for atypical neuroleptics. As to their behavioral screening on rodents, both compounds exhibited a non-cataleptic action in rats and antagonized d-amphetamine-induced hyperlocomotion in mice, suggesting their possible atypical antipsychotic potency.

AB  - Six newly synthesized heterocyclic (2-nitrophenyl)piperazines, with a specific structure of the heteroaryl group, whichmimics the catechol moiety of dopamine (benzimidazoles and substituted benzimidazoles), were evaluated for their binding affinity to rat dopamine (DA), serotonin (5-HT) and _1 receptors. All compounds with a benzimidazole group had a 5-HT2A/D2 receptors binding ratio characteristic for atypical neuroleptics (>1, pK i values). Compound 7c, 4-bromo-6-{2-_4-(2-nitrophenyl)piperazin- 1-yl_ethyl}-1H-benzimidazole, expressed higher affinities for all receptor classes than clozapine. Also, it exhibited the best characteristic for atypical neuroleptics and presents a compound with the best profile for further in vivo investigations.

Sva jedinjenja sa benzimidazolskim grupama su pokazala 5-HT 1A/D2 odnos vezivanja karakterističan za atipične neuroleptike (>1, pK i vrednosti). Jedinjenje 7c, 4-bromo-6-{2-_4-(2-nitrofenil)piperazin-1-il_etil}-1H-benzimidazol, pokazalo je izraženiji afinitet ka svim klasama receptora u poređenju sa klozapinom i takođe predstavlja jedinjenje sa najboljim karakteristikama za dalja in vivo istraživanja.

AB  - Eight new compounds with halogen atom introduced into the benzimidazole- 2-thione dopaminergic pharmacophore of 5-[2-(4-arylpiperazin-1-yl)ethyl]-1,3-dihydro- 2H-benzimidazole-2-thiones with the arylpiperazine part of the molecule being selected according to known structure-affinity requirements, have been synthesized. All the new compounds were evaluated for the in vitro binding affinity at the dopamine (DA) D1 and D2 and serotonin 5-HT1A receptors by the competitive radioassays, performed on synaptosomal membranes prepared from fresh bovine caudate nuclei and hippocampi. All the new compounds were strong competitors for the binding of the radioligands to the D2 and 5-HT1A receptors, with the most active of them having 34 and 170 time higher affinity than non-halogenated congeners in the D2 DA receptor radioassays (compounds 9.1b and 9.2b, respectively). Divergently, these compounds were without significant affinities for the D1 DA receptors. .
