AB  - Aryldiketo acids (ADKs) exhibit the variety of biological activities, mainly due to large affinity toward divalent metal ions. Metal complexation ability of ADKs, as well as interactions with proteins, depend on tautomeric form present in solution. The main aim of this study was to fully explore the tautomeric preferences of 4-phenyl-2,4-dioxobutanoic acid (4PDA), as ADKs representative, in aqueous media at different pH values. 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy in combination with quantum chemical calculations was applied in order to better understand the tautomeric preferences of 4PDA. The data in highly acidic media are especially interesting since there are no such findings in the literature due to low solubility of ADKs in molecular form. At low pH values, where 4PDA is unionized, the most abundant tautomeric form is enol with keto group closer to phenyl ring. At higher pH values, mixture of two 4PDA ionic forms coexists in solution. Their ratio calculated according to NMR data fits the values predicted using two experimentally determined pK (a) values. Based on the complexity of H-1 NMR spectrum of monoanionic 4PDA form, coexistence of two stable rotamers was assumed. In an alkaline media, 4PDA is mostly present in dianionic form. As pi-electrons of dianion are delocalized over an entire keto-enol moiety, spectral distinction between tautomers was not possible. Quantum chemical calculations were used to predict relative stability of tautomers. The predictions were in good accordance with experimental results only in case when explicit water molecule was included in calculations.

AB  - Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major health problem worldwide, because of ability of bacteria, fungi and viruses to evade known therapeutic agents used in treatment of infections. Aryldiketo acids (ADK) have shown antimicrobial activity against several resistant strains including Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Our previous studies revealed that ADK analogues having bulky alkyl group in ortho position on a phenyl ring have up to ten times better activity than norfloxacin against the same strains. Rational modifications of analogues by introduction of hydrophobic substituents on the aromatic ring has led to more than tenfold increase in antibacterial activity against multidrug resistant Gram positive strains. To elucidate a potential mechanism of action for this potentially novel class of antimicrobials, several bacterial enzymes were identified as putative targets according to literature data and pharmacophoric similarity searches for potent ADK analogues. Among the seven bacterial targets chosen, the strongest favorable binding interactions were observed between most active analogue and S. aureus dehydrosqualene synthase and DNA gyrase. Furthermore, the docking results in combination with literature data suggest that these novel molecules could also target several other bacterial enzymes, including prenyl-transferases and methionine aminopeptidase. These results and our statistically significant 3D QSAR model could be used to guide the further design of more potent derivatives as well as in virtual screening for novel antibacterial agents.

AB  - Background: Protein oxidation can occur as a consequence of lipid peroxidation during food processing. The aim of this work was to explore the effect of malondialdehyde (MDA) modification of ovalbumin (OVA) on its interaction with T84 intestinal cells. Methods: Molecular dynamics simulation was employed for the prediction of MDA modification in the OVA, while introduced structural changes were evaluated by measurement of carbonyl group content, fluorescence spectra, MS/MS analysis, and IgE reactivity. Effects of MDA modified OVA on T84 epithelial cells were analyzed by gene expression for pro-inflammatory cytokines and protein secretion. Results: Out of 9 predicted, five modified Lys residues were confirmed by MS/MS analysis: (51)TQINKVVR(58), (85)DILNQITKPNDVYSFSLASR(104), (111)YPILPEYLQCVKELYR(126), (187)AFKDEDTQAMPFR(99), (KIKVYLPR284)-K-277, and (IKVYLPR284)-I-278. The introduced MDA modifications influenced profile of IgE reactivity to OVA. Treatment of T84 epithelial cells with OVA and OVA modified with 1 mM MDA, induced up-regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1 beta,IL-25, IL-33, TSLP and TNF alpha), while OVA modification with 10 mM MDA induced down regulation of the cytokine expression profile, except for IL-1 beta. OVA and OVA modified with 1 mM MDA induced secretion of epithelial cells specific cytokine IL-33. Conclusions: This finding indicated that OVA and its MDA modified form have the potential to trigger the innate immunity by inducing up-regulation and secretion of pro-allergenic IL-33 in T84 intestinal epithelial cells. General significance: Interactions of ovalbumin and its MDA modified form with intestinal epithelial cells can induce a specific immunological priming necessary for the downstream activation of innate immunity.

Results: Out of 9 predicted, five modified Lys residues were confirmed by MS/MS analysis: (51)TQINKVVR(58), (85)DILNQITKPNDVYSFSLASR(104), (111)YPILPEYLQCVKELYR(126), (187)AFKDEDTQAMPFR(99), (KIKVYLPR284)-K-277, and (IKVYLPR284)-I-278. The introduced MDA modifications influenced profile of IgE reactivity to OVA. Treatment of T84 epithelial cells with OVA and OVA modified with 1 mM MDA, induced up-regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1 beta,IL-25, IL-33, TSLP and TNF alpha), while OVA modification with 10 mM MDA induced down regulation of the cytokine expression profile, except for IL-1 beta. OVA and OVA modified with 1 mM MDA induced secretion of epithelial cells specific cytokine IL-33. Conclusions: This finding indicated that OVA and its MDA modified form have the potential to trigger the innate immunity by inducing up-regulation and secretion of pro-allergenic IL-33 in T84 intestinal epithelial cells. General significance: Interactions of ovalbumin and its MDA modified form with intestinal epithelial cells can induce a specific immunological priming necessary for the downstream activation of innate immunity.

AB  - Antiproliferative and antibacterial activities of nine glutarimide derivatives (1–9) were reported. Cytotoxicity of compounds was tested toward three human cancer cell lines, HeLa, K562 and MDA-MB-453 by MTT assay. Compound 7 (2-benzyl-2-azaspiro[5.11]heptadecane-1,3,7-trione), containing 12-membered ketone ring, was found to be the most potent toward all tested cell lines (IC50 = 9–27 μM). Preliminary screening of antibacterial activity by a disk diffusion method showed that Gram-positive bacteria were more susceptible to the tested compounds than Gram-negative bacteria. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) determined by a broth microdilution method confirmed that compounds 1, 2, 4, 6–8 and 9 inhibited the growth of all tested Gram-positive and some of the Gram-negative bacteria. The best antibacterial potential was achieved with compound 9 (ethyl 4-(1-benzyl-2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)butanoate) against Bacillus cereus (MIC 0.625 mg/mL; 1.97 × 10−3 mol/L). Distinction between more and less active/inactive compounds was assessed from the pharmacophoric patterns obtained by molecular interaction fields.

AB  - Seven symmetrical 2,6-distyrylpyridines, phenyl-substituted with hydrogen-bond donors, hydrogenbond
acceptors, halogens and hydrophobic moieties were synthesized and their spectroscopic characterization
was done. Solvent effects on the absorption and fluorescence spectra were analyzed and quantified
using the Kamlet–Taft and Catalán approach. The obtained results were rationalized by comparison of
electrostatic potentials of the molecules in the ground and in excited state and by comparison of the frontier
molecular orbitals (HOMO and LUMO), derived from quantum-mechanical calculations (HF, DFT,
MP2). Analysis of the results revealed an important influence of non-specific (dispersive) interactions
on the solvatochromic behavior of the compounds. 1D and 2D NMR data, in silico obtained conformational
assembly of the compound, and the NMR analysis of molecular flexibility in solution (NAMFIS), were used
to estimate population of conformers and to deconvolute the UV-Vis spectrum of representative derivative;
inferring that the conformational assembly is more complex than was assumed in so far published
literature data for this class of compounds. Along with this, the emission spectra of the representative
compounds were decomposed by the Multivariate Curve Resolution analysis.

AB  - Inhibitory activity of a congeneric set of 23 phenyl-substituted 5-phenyl-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acids toward human carbonic anhydrase (hCA, EC 4.2.1.1) isoforms I, II, IX and XII was evaluated by a stopped-flow CO2 hydrase assay. These compounds exerted a clear, selective inhibition of hCA IX and XII over hCAI and II, with Ki in two to one digit micromolar concentrations (4-50 mu M). Derivatives bearing bulkier substituents in para-position of the phenyl ring inhibited hCA XII at one-digit micromolar concentrations, while derivatives having alkyl substituents in both ortho-and meta-positions inhibited hCA IX with Kis ranging between 5 and 25 mu M. Results of docking experiments offered a rational explanation on the selectivity of these compounds toward CA IX and XII, as well as on the substitution patterns leading to best CA IX or CA XII inhibitors. By examining the active sites of these four isoforms with GRID generated molecular-interaction fields, striking differences between hCA XII and the other three isoforms were observed. The field of hydrophobic probe (DRY) appeared significantly different in CA XII active site, comparing to other three isoforms studied. To the best of our knowledge such an observation was not reported in literature so far. Considering the selectivity of these carboxylates towards membrane-associated over cytosolic CA isoforms, the title compounds could be useful for the development of isoform-specific non-sulfonamide CA inhibitors.

AB  - Interactions of 2-[(carboxymethyl)sulfanyl]-4-oxo-4-(4-tert-butylphenyl)butanoic acid (compound 1) and its mono-Me ester (compound 2) with the human serum albumin (HSA) have been studied by fluorescence spectroscopy. Comp. 1 exerts antiproliferative activity toward human tumor cells and significant selectivity (tumor vs. healthy cells) in vitro. Competitive binding study with warfarin and ibuprofen as binding site probes, revealed that one molecule of comp. 1 selectively binds to HSA Sudlow site I (warfarin site) with moderate binding constant (Kb = (2.8 ± 0.5) × 104 M-1 at 37 ± 1 °C), while comp. 2 binds to Sudlow site II (Kb = (3.2 ± 0.9) × 104 M-1 at 37 ± 1 °C). Fluorescence quenching at different temperatures was analyzed using classical Stern-Volmer equation, and a static quenching mechanism was proposed. Energy resonance transfer between HSA and comp. 1 was examined according to Förster's non-radiative energy transfer theory. Distance of about 10 Å between ligand and Trp214 (HSA) was obtained. Docking studies confirmed HSA Sudlow site I as a preferable comp. 1 binding site, and Sudlow site II as comp. 2 binding site. Molecular dynamics simulations proved the stability of comp. 1/HSA complex. © 2014 by the authors.

Competitive binding study with warfarin and ibuprofen as binding site probes, revealed that one molecule of comp. 1 selectively binds to HSA Sudlow site I (warfarin site) with moderate binding constant (Kb = (2.8 ± 0.5) × 104 M-1 at 37 ± 1 °C), while comp. 2 binds to Sudlow site II (Kb = (3.2 ± 0.9) × 104 M-1 at 37 ± 1 °C). Fluorescence quenching at different temperatures was analyzed using classical Stern-Volmer equation, and a static quenching mechanism was proposed. Energy resonance transfer between HSA and comp. 1 was examined according to Förster's non-radiative energy transfer theory. Distance of about 10 Å between ligand and Trp214 (HSA) was obtained. Docking studies confirmed HSA Sudlow site I as a preferable comp. 1 binding site, and Sudlow site II as comp. 2 binding site. Molecular dynamics simulations proved the stability of comp. 1/HSA complex. © 2014 by the authors.",

AB  - Antiproliferative activity of twenty one Michael adducts of aroylacrylic acids and cyclic amines (  N -Me-piperazine, imidazole, 2-Me-imidazole, and indole) was tested toward five human tumor cell lines (HeLa, LS174, K562, FemX, MDA-MB-361) in vitro. Compounds exerted antiproliferative activity in the high to the single-digit micromolar concentrations, causing increase of the cell population fraction in S phase and apoptosis.   N -Me-piperazine and imidazole derivatives of aroylacrylic acids substituted with bulky alkyl substituents (2,4-di-  i -Pr-Ph-, 2,4,6-tri-Et-Ph-, or   β -tetrahydronaphthyl-) showed the best potency, while indole adducts were proved as the inferior antiproliferative agents. Few compounds showed significant selectivity, tumor versus healthy cells, with selectivity index   ∼60  for the most selective congener. An unbiased in silico distinction between more and less potent compounds was obtained from 3D QSAR models derived by alignment-independent GRIND-2 descriptors.

AB  - Congeneric set of thirty-eight 4-aryl-4-oxo-2-(N-aryl/cycloalkyl)butanamides has been designed, synthesized and evaluated for acetyl- and butyrylcholinesterase inhibitory activity. Structural variations included cycloalkylamino group attached to C2 position of butanoyl moiety, and variation of amido moiety of molecules. Twelve compounds, mostly piperidino and imidazolo derivatives, inhibited AChE in low micromolar range, and were inactive toward BChE. Several N-methylpiperazino derivatives showed inhibition of BChE in low micromolar or submicromolar concentrations, and were inactive toward AChE. Therefore, the nature of the cycloalkylamino moiety governs the AChE/BChE selectivity profile of compounds. The most active AChE inhibitor showed mixed-type inhibition modality, indicating its binding to free enzyme and to enzyme-substrate complex. Thorough docking calculations of the seven most potent AChE inhibitors from the set, showed that the hydrogen bond can be formed between amide -NH- moiety of compounds and -OH group of Tyr 124. The 10 ns unconstrained molecular dynamic simulation of the AChE- compound 18 complex shows that this interaction is the most persistent. This is, probably, the major anchoring point for the binding.

AB  - Background: Actinidin, a protease from kiwifruit, belongs to the C1 family of cysteine proteases. Cysteine proteases were found to be involved in many disease states and are valid therapeutic targets. Actinidin has a wide pH activity range and wide substrate specificity, which makes it a good model system for studying enzyme-substrate interactions. Methods: The influence of inhibitor (E-64) binding on the conformation of actinidin was examined by 2D PAGE, circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, hydrophobic ligand binding assay, and molecular dynamics simulations. Results: Significant differences were observed in electrophoretic mobility of proteolytically active and E-64-inhibited actinidin. CD spectrometry and hydrophobic ligand binding assay revealed a difference in conformation between active and inhibited actinidin. Molecular dynamics simulations showed that a loop defined by amino-acid residues 88-104 had greater conformational mobility in the inhibited enzyme than in the active one. During MD simulations, the covalently bound inhibitor was found to change its conformation from extended to folded, with the guanidino moiety approaching the carboxylate. Conclusions: Conformational mobility of actinidin changes upon binding of the inhibitor, leading to a sequence of events that enables water and ions to protrude into a newly formed cavity of the inhibited enzyme. Drastic conformational mobility of E-64, a common inhibitor of cysteine proteases found in many crystal structures stored in PDB, was also observed. General significance: The analysis of structural changes which occur upon binding of an inhibitor to a cysteine protease provides a valuable starting point for the future design of therapeutic agents.

AB  - The reactivity of fifteen (E)-4-aryl-4-oxo-2-butenoic (aroylacrylic) acid arylamides toward thiols was studied, measuring the rate constants of the addition of model thiol nucleophile, 2-mercaptoethanol. The influence of the variation of the substituents on the phenyl rings on the rate of reaction was quantified using the Hammett substituent constants and descriptors derived from ab initio or semiempirical calculations (atomic charges, HOMO, and LUMO). Statistically significant linear correlations between second-order rate constants and Hammett substituent constants, as well as energies of LUMO orbitals, were obtained. Substituents on both aroyl and arylamido moieties were shown to influence the reactivity of studied compounds toward thiols. The regioselectivity of reaction was confirmed by NMR spectroscopy. Exclusively beta-addition product with respect to the aroyl keto group was obtained. The determined enthalpy and entropy of activation were found to be in agreement with the proposed reaction mechanism, which includes a highly ordered transition state.

AB  - Antiproliferative activity of twenty-nine (E)-4-aryl-4-oxo-2-butenoic acid amides against three human
tumor cell lines (HeLa, FemX, and K562) is reported. Compounds showed antiproliferative activity in
one-digit micromolar to submicromolar concentrations. The most active derivatives toward all the cell
lines tested bear alkyl substituents on the aroyl moiety of the molecules. Fourteen compounds showed
tubulin assembly inhibition at concentrations <20 mM. The most potent inhibitor of tubulin assembly
was unsubstituted compound 1, with IC50 ¼ 2.9 mM. Compound 23 had an oral LD50 in vivo of 45 mg/kg in
mice. Cell cycle analysis on K562 cells showed that compounds 1, 2 and 23 caused accumulation of cells
in the G2/M phase, but inhibition of microtubule polymerization is not the principal mode of action of
the compounds. Nevertheless, they may be useful leads for the design of a new class of antitubulin

AB  - Rate constants for the esterification of eleven 2-[(carboxymethyl)sulfanyl]-4-oxo-4-arylbutanoic acids
with diphenyldiazomethane in ethanol at 30  C were determined, and correlated with substituent constants
using classical Hammett and related methods. Statistically valid results for the para-substituted
compounds were obtained by the Swain–Lupton approach. The compounds studied had significant conformational
mobility due to seven rotatable bonds in their backbone. Going beyond the classical Hammett
approach, we established a relatively fast procedure to find the optimal conformations that can
be used in linear free-energy relationships, combining molecular dynamics with semiempirical calculations,
and calculations using a higher level of theory (DFT and MP2). Fair correlations were observed with
frontier orbitals, allowing inclusion of ortho-substituted derivatives and clarifying artifact-like data, as
perceived by the Hammett-type approach.

AB  - Five new dioxomolybdenum(VI) complexes of the general formula [MoO2(Rdtc)2], 1-5, where Rdtc- refer to piperidine (Pipdtc), 4-morpholine (Morphdtc), 4-thiomorpholine (Timdtc), piperazine (Pzdtc) or N-methylpiperazine (N-Mepzdtc) dithiocarbamates, respectively, have been prepared. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, conductometric measurements, electronic, IR and NMR spectroscopy. The complexes 1-5 contain a cis-MoO2 group and have an octahedral geometry. Two dithiocarbamato ions join as bidentates with both the sulfur atoms to the molybdenum atom. The presence of different heteroatoms in the piperidino moiety influences the v(C=N) and v(C=S) vibrations, which wavelengths decrease in the order: Pipdtc > N-Mepzdtc > Morphdtc > Pzdtc > Timdtc ligands. Based on their spectral data, the molecular structures of complexes 1-5 were optimized at the semi-empirical molecular-orbital level, and the geometries, as obtained from calculations, are described. The antimicrobial activities of the complexes were tested against nine different laboratory control strains of bacteria and two strains of the yeast Candida albicans. All the tested strains were sensitive. Complexes bearing heteroatom in position 4 of piperidine moiety were significantly more potent against the tested bacteria compared to the corresponding ligands.

Kompleksi su okarakterisani elementalnom analizom, IR i NMR spektroskopijom kao i merenjem molarne provodljivosti. Pretpostavljena geometrija svih kompleksa je oktaedarska. Rdtc- ligandi su bidentatno koordinovani preko oba atoma sumpora za atom molibdena. Prisustvo različitih heteroatoma utiče na promenu položaja v(C=N) i v(C=S) vibracija, čiji opada sledećim redom liganada: Pipdtc > N-Mepzdtc > Morphdt > Pzdtc > Timdtc. Na osnovu spektralnih podataka, strukture svih kompleksa su optimizovane na semiempirijskom molekulsko-orbitalnom nivou upotrebom PM6 metoda. Antimikrobna aktivnost ispitivana je na jedanaest različitih patogena. Uočeno je da kompleksi koji imaju heteroatom u položaju 4 piperidinskog prstena ispoljavaju značajno veću jačinu antimikrobnog dejstva prema bakterijama, u poređenju sa odgovarajućim ligandima.

AB  - Title molecule, recently prepared in our laboratory comprises the pharmacophoric pattern of the BH3 domain inhibitors. Such compounds were extensively studied as the antiproliferative agents. In this communication we present its conformational preferences in the solvents of different polarity and HBD/HBA abilities. NOESY spectra of compound were recorded in DMSO-d6 and CDCl3. NOESY cross-peaks and coupling constants were processed by NAMFIS analysis and results compared with the conformational assembly and the free-energy surfaces of compound obtained by molecular dynamics simulations in the corresponding explicit solvents. Adaptive biasing force was used to map free-energy surfaces. Janocchio program was used for the NAMFIS analysis, molecular dynamics simulations (30 ns, each) were performed in NAMD 2.9 using CHARMm22 force field on the multi-node Linux cluster. Conformations of the compound were generated by OMEGA program.

AB  - Half-wave reduction potentials of a set of twelve (E)-4-aryl-4-oxo-2-butenoic acids obtained by direct current polarography in methanol are reported. E1/2 is correlated with Hammett sigma values as well as with values of frontier molecular orbitals calculated at a semiempirical molecular orbital level. Constant potential electrolysis of a representative compound shows that the first polarographic wave corresponds to one-electron reduction. The isolation of the product proves reduction of the activated double bond.

AB  - The use of chemical penetration enhancers (CPE) is growing due to their ability to improve drug delivery through the skin. A possible mechanism of penetration enhancement could involve the complex formation between drug and components in the pharmaceutical formulation, thus altering the physicochemical properties of the active substance. Here, modelling studies indicate that hydrocarbon and oxygen-containing terpenes (penetration enhancers) could form complexes with drugs. Satisfactory correlations have been obtained between the predicted molecular properties of enhancers and their enhancement effects. Crown Copyright

AB  - Article describes the synthesis of fifteen β-hydroxy- β-arylalkanoic acids by Reformatsky reaction using the 1-ethoxyethyl-2- bromoalkanoates, aromatic or cycloalkyl ketones or aromatic aldehydes. The short survey of previously reported synthetic procedures for title compounds, is given. The majority of obtained compounds exert antiproliferative activity in vitro toward human: HeLa, Fem-X cells, K562, and LS174 cells, having IC 50 values from 62.20 to 205 μM. The most active compound is 3-OH-2,2-di-Me-3-(4-biphenylyl)-butanoic acid, having the IC 50 value 62.20 μM toward HeLa cells. Seven examined compounds did not affect proliferation of healthy human blood peripheral mononuclear cells (PBMC and PBMC+ PHA), IC 50 > 300 μM. The preliminary QSAR results show that estimated lipophilicity of compounds influences their antiproliferative activity in the first place. The ability of dehydration, and the spatial arrangement of hydrophobic portion, HBD and HBA in molecules are has almost equal importance as lipophilicity.
